            QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

     INTRODUCTION

          A year ago at the April meeting, the Board of Trustees
     adopted a new plan of organization for the administration of
     the University of Kentucky.   At that same time you appoint-
     ed a new president and a comptroller and authorized the ap-
     pointment of a dean of the University.   This position was
     filled in July by t he appointment of Dr. Henry H. hill.

          It has been a year cOnce my appointment, although I
     did not assume the duties of my office until July 1.   The
     public immediately made demands upon my time and I actually
     began planning and thinking for my new work from the day
     of my appointment.   The year has been an exceedingly
     busy one for me, but it has been pleasant and I hope it has
     been constructive for the University.
