                                         Jenusry 15, 1919



Dr. P. L. MoVey,

     University of Kentucky.

Myr dear Doctor McIVey:

     I am. handing you the report o2t the Business :igent for DIecember
 1918. I am unable to present heo ranort in the form contemplated
 by Or. Forsyth, owing to the fact that the entries in the new bookz
 have not been cornleted, the ayrount of work has been such that this
 could not be done without help.   I have thought that not best
 chiefly because such heln as vrwe might get would be more in the vway
 than do good and. bosiJ.6s it is best for the office force to do the
 work.   The quection of expense ia another item.

     The report Yill, I th-ini:, be self-explanatory.  The estimates
are close, I fear too chse for sayetr, especially the estimate on future
tkildinie~penre. The esi;imate on salaries is based on the Deceer.
betr peroll, and I fear the estimate is not large enough.   On the
vwhole, I think the probabii-ty of collecting the total statement
is remote and that rea]lly we wil have _ shortage of $30,000 or
more if the present zrcjram is car~'ied out.  Thi.s will be increased
about $10,000 owing to the fact tHat Lr. Forsyth charged off about
$10,000 of the amount we carried as accounts Receivable.   Of course
the remedy is to curtail expense vheiever possible.   I might sug-
gest that it is possible to carr.y the cost of purchase of property
and perhaps some new building operations as assets chargeable
against next year's income.

     I call your attention to the enclosed letter of Dean Cooper
relative to insurance policies. I will be pleased to do this, if
satisfactory to you.

     I call your attention to the attached order signed by Captain
Royden.   These uniforms, as I understand, are the ones purchaeie
by Captain Royden with what -we have been calling the "U. S. Uni-
form Fund" money.   There is a small overdraft of this account.
In addition there is a debt to the Peerless Dry Gleaning Company
of ai72.  I have no money vith which to pay this.   I attach the
account and ask your advice.

     You have a copay of the buwlletin relative to the disposal of
Students' AOr Training Corms property.   Perhaps you will wish
to take this up vwih the Executive Corvettee.   I have taken care
of the smaller items, such as food supplies and office supplies.

                                        Respectfully,
                                              D. H. Peak,
                                                  Business agent.

                                        January 0, 1919


To the President,
     University of Kentucky,
          Lexington, Hentucky.

My dear Sir:

     Re have established recently a Division of Educational Ex_
tension in the Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior,
to cooperate with State Departments of Education and University
Extion Divisions in their educational extension activities.  The
President has given us mroney from his special fund to conduct the
work until June Z0, 19194  During this period we shall render
service to the Extension Divisions of state universities, and to
other state agencies, by collecting educational material (such as
syllabi for courses of study, briefs, reports, etc.) that vas devel-
oped and accumulated by the Federal Government in conducting its
war emergency educational work; by assisting, thru field repre-
sentative service and literature of information, the development
of Commnity Centers; by distributing to Extension Divisions for
circulation, visual instruction material (such as films and lan-
tern slides); by suggesting programs for the Americanization work
of university Extension Di-isions, and by giving some assistance
in the development of these programs; by helping university Ex-
tension Divisions in their promotion of public discussion of im-
portant questions;by selecting and lending in'quantities govern-
ment publications which may be given a wider and more effective
use thru university entension cooperation.

     In order to carry out this program we desire to establish an
official relationship with the Extension Divisions of the state
universities.   We have established such relationship with the
universities that have formally organized Extension Divisions or
departments.   Ve are now ready to weork out a plan of cooperation
with state universities that do not have formally Organized Ex-
tension Divisions.  In looking over the literature from your in-
stitution, vwe find that you are not doing University Extension
work other then in agriculture.   We are, therefore, suggesting
in an enclosed outline a plan whereby we may make an official
connection with your institution.  I hope you will give this plan
immediate and serious consideration and then write us frankly
whether your institution vill meet the conditions we suggest.




 







S.



     There is a Possibility that if the viork of this division
proves viotthy, Congress will appropriate rmone y to continue its
wFork after June 30. and such an appropriaction my carry vith it
Federal. aid for university extension, siimlar to that now given
to the land grant colleges for the cooperative extension service
thoy render the Department of Agriculture.

     Trusting we nay be of wervice to you, I am

                                         Yours sincerely,

                                                J. J. Pettijobn,

Dr. Frank L. CoVey,

        Lexit~ton, Kentucky

Dear Sir:

     I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of yours of December 4,
and. vil.lsay that the matter about which you vrite therein; that

illness of an extended -eriod I have been unable to comply with his

Dear Sir:

     Your letter of December 14, addressed to Mir. Abram Flexner,
has been called to my attention.   I was agent of the Peabody Fund
w.,then the contribution to the University of Kentucky referred to in
your letter was made.   I conducted the negotiations with the Uni-
versity of Kentucky and presented the proposition for action by
the Peabody Board.  A.t its meeting on INovamber 1, 1911, the Pea.s
body Board adopted the folloving resolution:

Voted, That to the State University of KZentuclky, situated a.t Lex-
        ington, Kentucky, be contributed $40,000 as endowment, to
        be 1novn as the George Peabody endowment, the income to be

         used.as maintenance for the school of education; this conr-
         tribution to be made on condition that the trustees of the
         University agree to supplement this income annually by
         such sum as vill make the perpetual annual income for such
         school of education at least 1lO.000.   (Proceedings of the
         Trustees at their 57th meeting, New York, November 1, 1911,
         page 19.)

     Before this money vns pai.i over to the University, the Univer-
sity signed a contract binding itself to carry out the conditions
stipulated in the above resolution.   I do not have a copy of this
contract. It was filed as a part of the official records of the
Board.   Upon dissolutton of the trust these records were sent to
the George Peabody College for Teachers at Nashville. Tennessee,
and it is quite probable that the authorities of this institution
would be able to sup-ply you with a copy of the contract here re-
ferred to.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                                   Wickliffe Bose.

     The follovwing resolution was offered, duly seconded, and on
Vote unanimously adopted: BE IT RESOLVED by the Executive Comnittee
of the University of Zentucky that the Chairman of the Executive
Conrdttee and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be and are here-

"ords and figures as follows:

     (12) Lo'. Stoll said to the Comnittee that according to the
newspapers rmny German camnon were to be brought to the United
States, and that, if possible, he believed one of these cannon
ought to be mounted upon the grounds of the Universtiy; that it
would be peculiarly appropriate for a German gun to be presented,
not only to the University of Kentucky, but to all of the state
universities, not only because these universities are supported
in part by funds provided by the United States Government. but
because many alumi and former students of these universities
entered the war and many enlisted men have been trained at these
universities.

     Thereupon, upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Presi-
dent of the University ,ars authorized to coimmunicate vith the
Honorable J. C. Cantrill, Representative from the 7th District of
Kentucky, and vith the Honorable J. C. W. Beclkham and Honorable
George B. IMartin, Senators from Kentucky, and with the Secret&ry
of War, requesting that a German connon be given to the Univer-
sity of Kentucky.

President P. L. HioVey,

     University .of Kentucky.

My dear President 7cVey-

    A number of the county agents, home demonstration agents and,
In. some instances- other employees of the institution, may at time
adva~ntgecuslyr base use of m.otoi- vehicles, saving the institution
expense and their time.   It is desirable under this condition tc
prescribe a method of procedure and to determine the rate to be
allowed for the use of privately owned motor vehicles.  I, there-
fore, wish to recommend the following:

     The administrative authorities of the University of Kentucky
may authorize the use of personally owved motor vehicles and the
payment of mileage incurred in actual and necessary travel in the
performance of duties, at the rate of six cents a mile.  Such
expense may be incurred only then the vehicles are necessarily
used as a means of transportation.   Each individual to whom the
privilige is extended shall be given direct authorization and
mileage for which charge is made shall be audited and checked as
are other accounts.

                                        Yours very truly,

                                                Thomas Cooper,

                                              Dean and Director.

     After discussion, the matter vas referred to Dean Cooper for
further details relative to the use of the fund, methods of check-
ing it. etc.

     (14) President .ilcVey read a statement from the Registrar
showing the following enrollment at the present time in the various
colleges, exclusive of women in drafting courses in engineering
and students in tile tvio weeks' course in agriculture. The state-
ment was as follows:

     (15) A communication vras read from Dean Thomas P. Cooner stat-
ing that in the instruction in meat wzork given by the College of
Agriculture; it -would be.necdssary to dispose of the meats from
carcasses slaughtered.   For the information of the Board of Trus-
tees Dean Couper wished to present the follovwng as a matter of
institutional policy in this matteri

     For your information and for that of the Board of Trustees,
and for their approval, if required, I vish to state that we pro-
pose to purchase and kill such quantities of cattle, hogs, sheep
and poultry as are necessary to give the student a working know-
ledge of methods of si.aughtering, cutting and curing.  The prc-
duct vill be disposed of for cash either to members of the faculty
and staff or the larger parts of the carcasses vill be sold directly
to local butchers.   The price will be based upon the cost plus the
necessary handling charge.   We do not propose to take deliveries
and do not propose in anyr any to cater to or encourage trade greater
than that sufficient to dispose of this product.
