       Chancellor Zinser said she was very pleased to have the Board invite the various
deans to make presentations at the Board meetings. She said it was her pleasure to
introduce Dean Shirley C. Raines. She briefly reviewed Dean Raines credentials and said
Dean Raines is highly regarded within her profession.

       Dean Shirley C. Raines presented an overview of the history of the College of
Education, current status, and future possibilities. 1998 is the 75th anniversary of the
College of Education, which was organized in 1923 when William Septimus Taylor was
named Dean of the College. While 1923 marks the date for the organization of the
College, the University of Kentucky has been preparing teachers for the schools of the
Commonwealth since 1880 when the "Normal School" was established. In 1908, the
University organized a Department of Education and in 1909, the College was called a
"Teachers' College."

       Dean Raines indicated that there are five living deans of the College of Education
residing in Lexington. They are: Frank Dickey, who is also a past President of the
University of Kentucky; Lyman Ginger, who is also a past Superintendent of Public
Instruction; Dean Edward Sagan, who is presently serving as the Interim Dean of Social
Work; Dean J. John Harris, III, the first African-American dean appointed at the
University of Kentucky and who continues on the faculty in the Department of
Educational Administration and Supervision and in African-American studies; and Shirley
Raines, the seventh dean and the first woman dean of the College of Education.

       The three major buildings which house the College of Education faculty and
classrooms are: Dickey Hall, built in 1965; Taylor Education Building, built in 1930; and
Seaton Center, completed in 1964. Additional space is used in Barker Hall, Wenner-Gren
Laboratory, and Maxwelton Court.

       The College was reorganized in 1994 from eight departments into six. Educational
Administration and Supervision offers graduate degrees and certification programs which
prepare principals, superintendents, and instructional leaders. The Department of
Curriculum and Instruction offers undergraduate and graduates degrees and prepares
teachers and instructional technology leaders in elementary, middle school, and secondary
education. Educational and Counseling Psychology has three graduate degree programs in
the areas of counseling, school, and educational psychology. The Department of
Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation Studies offers doctoral degrees in the areas of
Educational Policy Studies and Higher Education. Kinesiology and Health Promotion
offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in physical education, exercise science, and
health promotion. The Department of Special Education and Rehabilitation Counseling
provides degrees and certification programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-
doctoral levels in the two major areas of Special Education and Rehabilitation Counseling,
which focus on services to children and adults with disabilities.
