The decade of the Seventies has faded from sight, if not from memory.
The experiences that the era brought to us are now history, and as history contain .
lessons that are well worth remembering. In taking note of the University of L
Kentucky’s joumey through the 1970s, it occurs to me that one such lesson might l
be that institutions, like men, often perform most creditably when under
pressure.
Certainly, the University was subjected to the unrelenting pressures that
the decade applied to all of our institutions, social and political. Yet it is clear
that the University during that time recorded some prodigious achievements-
academic growth and development on a scale far greater than anyone could
reasonably have forecast when the decade began.
It is the purpose of this report to examine some of these achievements,
and to credit those persons who made such gains possible: our students, faculty
and staff, our alumni, and the other citizens of Kentucky whose support of their
University has made all the difference.
Otis A. Singletary, President
The University of Kentucky
