youth who has the capacity to digest
college education should have the
opportunity to do so. "he feels it is
the "first duty of a state university
to see that this opportunity is given.
"My program of administration
will be to take up the work of the
University where President Cooper
and President McVey have left off

versify of Kentucky, he actually will
be only the fourth man to be desig- nated specifically as president and
he will be only the second to head
the "University of Kentucky."
The first paradox exists because,
from 1866 to 1878, the three men who
headed the institution were known
as presiding officers and were, in
reality merely deans of the Agricultural and Mechanical Department
from which the present University
developed.
The second paradox is explained
by the fact that the title, "Univer- sity of Kentucky," was not adopted
1916, shortly before the in- augration of Dr. Frank LeRond
McVey . the immediate predecessor
of Dr. Donovan.
Williams First Leader
The first head of the school was
John Augustus Williams, who ser- ved as presiding officer of the Agri- Col- cutural and Mechanical
of Kentucky University from
October, 1866. until the end of the
year in 1867.
Born Sept. 21. 1824. in Bourbon
county, he was a son of Charles E.
Williams, a prominent physician,
Williams,
Dodge

and
daughter of David Dodge, an early
Lexington merchant and manufac- turer. After attending the best

College at Georgetown when he
was fourteen years old and remain- ed in that school when it moved to
Harrodsburg and became Kentuc- ky University. He was graduated
there in 1843 and later received his
M.A. degree from his alma mater
and his LL. D. from the Masonic
University at. LaGrange, Kv.
Although he prepared for a legal
career. Dr. Williams became inter- in the educational need1, of
Kentucky and established Prospect
Hill Seminary for young men and
women near Mt. Sterling. In 1851
organized Christian College at
