 University, to the Kentucky Research Foundation.  Mr. Peterson stated that
 he did not consider it in his province as Treasurer of the University to endorse

        Mr. Peterson explained that the University had, for the past two years,
been carrying on air flight training programs for the Air Force and Ground
Force ROTC units at the University under a contract with the Armed Forces.
He explained that subcontracts for the flight training had been made, with all
necessary insurance to indemnify the University from suits incident to the
air flight training program. He stated that these contracts were subject to
renewal and recommended that approval be given to renew them for the
ensuing year under similar conditions as the previous contracts for these
programs.

        Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Air Force and
Ground Force ROTC contracts for flight training were authorized renewed and
extended for another year, and contract was authorized entered into with Bohmer
Flying Service as required.



        M. Appointment of Provost Approved.

        President Dickey made the following statement regarding reactivating
the position of provost, and made the following recommendation:


               During the past four years continuing consideration has
        been given to the organizational structure of the University.  The
        self-study which was completed a few months ago and the visit by
        the committee of consultants from other institutions have contribut-
        ed to the knowledge that certain changes in the administrative
        pattern of the institution were necessary.

               These changes are made necessary because of expanding
        programs of instruction and research, by increasing specialization
        and complexity in modern higher education, and by the rising need
        for effective communication, planning, coordination, and continuous
        s tudy.

               All administrative officers of a university should function
        in such a way that rapid decisions can be made--decisions which
        are based on a clearer understanding of the problems involved than
        the president as a single individual can possess.  The president and
        the chief administrative officers should form an "operating com-
        mittee'v or a v"cabinet" which will give thoughtful consideration to the
        alternative courses of action required for the operation and the
        advancement of the institution..  At the present time we have an
        executive vice president (Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain), a vice
        president for business administration (Dr. Frank D. Peterson),
        and a vice president for the Medical Center (Dr. William R. Willard).
        These men are outstanding and this University is one of the most
        fortunate of which I know because it has persons in these key positions
        who have vision and great ability. It has been increasingly clear,
        however, that as the University expands, not only in numbers of
        students but also in a variety of programs, an additional top adrmin-
        istrative officer is needed.

       In 1954 the University Board of Trustees created and filled
the position of Provost of the University. Upon the resignation
of Dean and Provost Elvis J. Stahr, Jr. , in 1957, 1 did not feel that
I had had adequate opportunity to study the organizational needs
of the University, and as a consequence. I did not recommend any
one to fill that vosition. The position was not abolished, and after
serious study, I am recommending today that the position be
filled--this time very much in keeping with the strict definition
of the term ftprovost"l as used in educational circles. I am recom-
mending that Dr. A. D. Albright, Executive Dean of Extended
Programs, also be named as Provost of the University, with duties
to be primarily in the major functions and programs of instruction
and research. The Provost? s office will have the responsibilities
of planning, coordination, and study of instructional programs, both
on-campus and off-campus. It is hoped that the Provost with the
assistance of the Deans of the various colleges can soon prepare
an inventory of instructional research presently being conducted in
the University. It is Proposed then that this group of persons charged
with the direct responsibility for the academic program of the insti-
tution can find increasingly effective means of coordinating the
instructional program of the University.

       As was pointed out in several sections of the self-study of
the University, systematic efforts to improve communication
processes are important in any large organization. However,
more than the usual effort must be made in universities because of
several circumstances which are inherent in these institutions, In
the first place, the interests of the several parts of the institution
are infinitely more specialized than those of most organizations in
modern society. Furthermore, they cover a wider range of subjects.
In this respect there is no comparison between most large industrial
corporations and a large university organization. Also, the essen-
tial but unusual individuality of thought and behavior of the academic
person presents specialized problems in communication. Similar
problems are often seen in hospitals, in laboratories, and in other
highly professionalized areas of both government and the corporation.
It is one of the tasks of administration i
