THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY AND THE WAR Wh
. ; cor
The University of Kentucky, like all colleges in the country, is thi:
  doing its utmost to aid the nation to win the war. To military service Hm
{ and related work have gone several thousand of its former students Sm
ig and more than a hundred members of the instructional and research
i ` staff. Curricular adjustments have been made with a view to lending
‘ the most immediate and direct aid to the war effort and many special ASE
J research projects have been established. At the time the copy was SOI
  prepared for this bulletin, the University was operating an engineer- K9]
  ing specialists’ school for approximately 900 soldiers, and several HFC
’ hundred more enlisted men to be trained in other types of work tm
were expected daily. By fall it appears probable that the University lggj
will be training perhaps as many as 2000 soldiers. xg
` It should be emphasized, however, that these special programs Com
“ will operate without detriment to the regular schedule of classes.
A complete program of studies will be operated for girls and for men For
not in service, utilizing the regular instructional staff. Rooming and legf
boarding facilities will be as adequate and as carefully supervised as ECO
usual. It is the purpose of the University to maintain its program of CO]
liberal education and its professional schools at the same high level Sch
on which they have been operated in the past, while at the same time mst
_ meeting in every way possible the immediate demands of the nation
Q for trained military personnel. WK

 `   14 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
_ ‘ The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni- p]
  versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in ht
? 1865. The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public SL
. I , education under one organization. This.experiment was tried for p,
. · ~ ' 2 a number of years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized th
1   under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and
1   mechanic arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people
__   of Kentucky decided to establish 'a state institution of higher gl
I ·   learning, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was
` i separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on land ot
§ given by the City of Lexington and the County of Fayette. Thirty
1 years later the legislature changed the name of the institution to St
_ 1 the State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial St
‘ support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time to the W
; present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by legisla-
. tive act.

T students; and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is also th
i governed by special regulations. 19

the Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certified K·
copies of high school credentials and of work done in other institu— fc
tions should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance of the Wt
~ registration period. Failure to file credentials in time for checking
before the registration period will delay the student in arranging his
program. All admissions, including those to the professional schools
and the Graduate School, must be passed on by the Registrars
Office. Students who come to the University without having had ad
their admission approved, do so at their own risk. The Unive1·sity th
reserves the right to refuse consideration of applications not made at
