       whose distinguished and exceptional career, singular vision for the rights and
       dignity of all Kentuckians, and determination to bring equal educational
       opportunities to all, has made the University of Kentucky -- and all of Kentucky -
       - a better place for everyone.

       On motion made by Professor Mather, seconded by Mr. Reed, and passed, the
resolution was approved.

       Professor Mather asked that a copy of the resolution be shared with Mr.
Johnson's family and distributed to the media, particularly the Community Voice.

       Dr. Plattner said, "He was a giant." Governor Breathitt agreed and said that the
University, to its credit, has recognized that through the years, including the honorary
doctorate degree and other outstanding awards.

       President Wethington said it is highly appropriate, in his opinion, that the Board
and the administration honor Lyman T. Johnson in this fashion. The last statement in the
resolution says it all ..."There is no question that the actions of Lyman T. Johnson has
made the University of Kentucky and all of Kentucky a better place for everyone." He
said it was a pleasure for him to be a part of the action to recognize Lyman T. Johnson
and honor him in this fashion.

       E.    President's Report to the Board of Trustees (PR 1)

       President Wethington called attention to the following items in PR 1:

       1. The accomplishments of the first African American admitted to UK were
          recognized on October 17 at the seventh annual Lyman T. Johnson Alumni
          Association awards banquet. Those receiving awards as "barrier breakers"
          were Orlando "Tubby" Smith, Bernadette Mattox, Richard Green, P. G.
          Peeples, Deborah Blades, Merlene Davis, Tassa Wigginton, George Wright,
          and Braxton Crenshaw.

       2. More than 5,800 donors helped the Partners in Progress campaign top the $40
          million mark. Eleven community colleges have raised more than $1 million,
          including Padueah Community College which has raised more than $13 million
          for a new science facility.

       3. A project to build a "virtual community" that will allow researchers to pool
          resources will involve UK and 56 other institutions. The Alliance, as the
          project is called, plans to develop a prototype national computational
          infrastructure called the National Technology Grid with the support of a five-
          year, $170 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
