                PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
                         NOVEMBER 20, 1973


1.   COLLEGE OF EDUCATION OPENS FORMAL OBSERVANCE OF 50TH YEAR
     The College of Education is celebrating its fiftieth year.
     The anniversary dinner was Thursday night, and featured an
address by Dr. Dean Corrigan, dean of the University of Vermont
College of Education. The Paris High School band played, and
President Otis A. Singletary extended greetings. Leonard C. Tay-
lor, Eastern Kentucky University registrar, gave the invocation.
     The observance began in the afternoon with a symposium, which
reviewed the college's first fifty years and provided some forecasts
on future directions of the college.
     Dean George W. Denemark presided over a panel composed of Dr.
Frank Dickey, the University's fifth president, presently executive
director of the National Commission on Accreditation, Washington,
Dr. Lyman V. Ginger, former dean of education, currently state
superintendent of public instruction, and Edward C. Pomeroy, execu-
tive director of the American Association of Colleges of Teacher
Education.
     Dr. Morris B. Cierley is chairman of the anniversary observance.


2.  GOVERNOR BOOSTS NEW WILDCAT HOME WITH STATE FUNDS TO CIVIC CENTER
     Approximately $4 million in state funds will be channeled through
the University to help build Lexington's new civic center complex.
     Gov. Wendell Ford, in making the announcement, said the funds
will help build a 22,600-seat arena that can be used for University
home basketball games, as well as other events. This would provide
11,640 seats to the general public, compared to 4,360 at the present.
     The proposed center, to be built downtown in the urban renewal
area, will cost $36.8 million, and is expected to attract other major
sports events, including the annual state high school basketball
tournament, which has been held in Louisville the last several years.




 








3.   SURVEY OF DEANS PLACES DENTISTRP.Y THIRD, PHAlRMIACY FIFTH

     Both the College of Dentistry and the Coilege of Pharmacy are
ranked among the five most outstandcing professional schools in the
nation within their own fields in a survey of 1,180 deans of pro-
fessional schools.

     The survey, made by two Colurnb.ia University sociologists and
reported in the November issue of Change magazine, found the den-
tistry school tied for third among the nation's top five and the
pharmacy school tied for fifth.

     In "America's leading Professional Schools," the lead article
in the higher education journal, the sociologists, Rebecca Zames
Margulies and Peter HM. Blau, determdined "American professional
schools with the highest academic standings, based on their being
named most often as one of the best by the deans in that type of
professional school."

     In pharmacy, the University swas outranked by the University of
California (San Francisco), and by Ohio State, Purdue and the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin; the dentistry school was outranked only by
the University of North Carolina and the University of Michigan.

     The study encompassed all American professional schools that
are both accredited and university-affiliated, and included 17 types
of professional schools.

     "There are many factors that can influence the standing of a
professional school--," researchers 1Margulies and Blau wrote, "the
salaries offered, the qualifications and commitment of the faculty,
the ability of the students it att-racts, the academic environment
of the university, the flexibility of its structure and its respon-
siveness to changing conditions, and so on. To analyze which
factors actually influence a professional school's academic stand-
ing, and thus presumably its quality, we need a criterion of
academic standing. The criterion that has been found to be most
reliable is the judgement of experts in the field."

     Hence the choice of deans as respondents for their survey.

     "Since holders of masters and doctoral degrees have prolifer-
ated in the labor market !" say the authors, "where one has come
from rather than the degree itself, may represent an increasingly
powerful passport to entry into professions."



4.   IN-SERVICE GRADUATE EDUCATrON PROVIDED LOUISVILLE TEACHERS

     The College of Education is cooperating with the University of
Louisville in a program which provides in-service graduate education
to new teachers in the Louisville Public Schools.   Officials there
requested the program, designed to help new teachers cope with teach-
ing problems in the inner city schools, Dr. Edgar L. Sagan, assistant
dean of the College of Education, said.

5.   PROJECT SEEKS TO CONVERT COAL TO CRUDE OIL

     Dr. Richard I. Kermode, professor of chemical engineering,
is the principal investigator on a research project that will
seek to convert coal to a synthetic crude oil on an economical,
competitive basis. Conversion processes have been understood by
engineers for years, but an economical method hasn't been per-
fected.

     The two-year project will receive $780,000. Nearly $480,000
of that amount will be from the National Science Foundation,
$150,000 from the state, and $150,000 from Ashland Oil, Inc.

     Dr. Kermode said,"The production of synthetic crude oil from
coal on a vast scale--running into the millions of barrels a day--
would open up a new field that would employ thousands of people
and add millions of dollars to the economy."

     "There will be four distinct areas of research in the project:
a computer study of hydrogen production methods; experimental
studies of the separation of unconverted coal and ash from the
synthetic crude; direct oil production by high temperature de-
struction of coal (pyrolysis)-, and the effect of trace minerals
and coal structure to promote the interaction between hydrogen and
coal."



6.   350 PATIENTS ATTENDED BY SIX RESIDENT DOCTORS IN WILLARD PROGRAM

     About 350 families currently registered with the Family Prac-
tice Clinic at the Medical Center are being treated by six residents
who are training in the specialty of family practice, learning to
treat the whole patient, his home life plus other factors besides
his medical problem.  The six are the first to participate in the
new William R. Willard Department of Family Practice program.

     Most of the patients are seen by appointment, but arrangements
have been made to treat emergency patients. One resident and one
of the three faculty members who supervise the program are on call
at all times. There also are two registered nurses and one nursing
assistant assigned to the staff.

     All but about ten per cent of the cases are handled by the
family practice residents. The othersinvolve specialists.

     After three years of residency, the family practitioner is
eligible to take the board examination. If he passes, he is certi-
fied by the American Board of Family Practice.   He then must be
recertified every six years.

7.   NOTED AUTHOR, HISTORIAN HERE FOR SPRING SEMESTER

      Dr. T. Harry Williams, Pulitzer Prize winner and Civil War
authority, will be visiting professor of history at the University
during the Spring semester, Dr. George C. Herring, chairman of the
history department, has announced.

      Dr. Williams' biography, "Huey Long," published in 1969, won
the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1970. The author
holds the distinguished rank of Boyd Professor of history at
Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.

     He also is the author of "Lincoln and the Radicals," "P.G.T.
Beauregard: Napoleon in Gray," "Romance and Realism in Southern
Politics," and editor of "Selected Writings and Speeches of Abraham
Lincoln."

     Prof. Williams' "Lincoln and His Generals," was a Book of the
Month Club selection in 1952 and was named one of the best books of
the year by Newsweek and The New York Times.

     In 1964, former President Harry S Truman presented him with
the fifth annual "Harry S Truman Award for Meritorious Service in
the Field of Civil War History."

     Dr. Williams received the Lincoln Diploma of Honor from Lincoln
Memorial University in Tennessee, in recognition of distinguished
service in the field of Lincolniana and in the interpretation of the
life and deeds of Lincoln.

     He occupied the chair in American History at the University of
Oxford in England in 1966. Dr. Williams will teach courses on the
American Civil War and recent Southern political leadership.



8.   1,370 EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS, TRAINED IN SAFETY LAST YEAR

     The Safety Department, in its annual report, states that 1,370
University employees and students were trained in various safety
education programs last year, They were in residence halls, Univer-
sity Hospital, physical plant shops, secretarial training classes, and
students of the physical education, health, and laboratory classes.

     New training films were purchased, and nearly 10,000 safety signs,
pop posters, emergency phone stickers and evacuation plans were dis-
tributed throughout the University. A new safety award, honoring Dr.
Don Cash Seaton, was instituted. Jacob Karnes, for his outstanding
work in safety for the handicapped, was the first recipient of the
award.

     In comparison to 1971-72, although there was an increase of only
65 accidents, there was a tremendous increase in the number of lost
days. It is standard procedure in accident reporting to charge 6,000
days lost per death, and there were two vehicle deaths. Accidents in
all categories increased. Among students, 66 per cent of the accidents
were by freshmen and sophomores, the majority occurring in the stu-
dents' room and classroom/laboratory. The fire department responded
to 125 alarms on campus, with an estimated fire loss of $8,138.89.
