permission to do the outside work requested.



        J. Injuries.


Donald Chumley.

        President Donovan reported accident to Donald Chumley, which occurred
on August 17, 1955, while he was helping to load a metal tank at the Central Heat-
ing Plant. Dr. Lloyd 0. Larsen gave medical service to Mr. Chumley at the
Good Samaritan hospital and submitted invoice for $35. 00, with a hospital bill of
$15. 00. President Donovan explained that nurses or doctors were not available
at the Dispensary on the campus, due to nurses and doctors being on vacation.
Mr. Chumley was sent to the Good Samaritan hospital for x-ray and treatment of
the foot. No bones were broken. Four toes were badly bruised, as well as the
lower part of the foot.



Robert Fields

        Mr. Robert Fields, while employed by the Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion in the Agricultural Engineering building, suffered an accident on October 19,
1955, when a piece of metal flew into his eye while he was operating a machine.
Dr. Claude Wilkes Trapp removed a corneal foreign body from the eye and sub-
mitted invoice for services in the amount of $10. 00.



Miles Gross

with the expressed understanding that the University does not admit negligence or
liability in the payment of claims submitted.

        Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Executive Committee
concurred in the recommendation of the President, and the expenses were author-
ized paid as recommended.  The University does not admit negligence or liability
in accepting and paying the invoices submitted.



        K. Injury to Lyda Highland.

        Mrs. Lyda Highland, while working in the Student Union Commons, dropped
a jar which caused a cut on her right leg.  The accident occurred April 14, 1955,
and was not reported until August 3, 1955.  The report indicated that the delay had
occurred because of the erroneous assumption that treatment was given at the Good
Samaritan hospital, whereas first aid was given at the Dispensary. The report
from the director of the Student Union Commons indicated that a cut was received
to the right leg and that treatment was rendered by Dr. John S. Sprague at the
Dispensary by taking four stitches. Doctor Sprague submitted an invoice to Mrs.
Lyda Highland indicating that the work was done at the Good Samaritan emergency
room. After a general discussion by members of the Committee and upon motion
duly made, seconded and carried, payment for services rendered was denied,
The accident occurred in April and was not reported until August. The report of
the accident seems to be in conflict as to where treatment was given, and a satis-
factory explanation was not given as to why the accident was not reported for 42
months after it occurred.



        L. Injury to 0. E. Philpot.

        President Donovan submitted a statement of Mr. 0. E. Philpot in regard
to an injury sustained by him at the summer survey camp in the summer of 1955.



                   MR. 0, E. PHILPOT'S STATEMENT
                 IN REGARD TO AN INJURY SUSTAINED
                 AT THE SUMMER SURVEY CAMP DURING
                          THE SUMMER OF 1955

            On the twelfth of July, 1955, I was working with a route sur-
       veying party about three miles from the Survey Camp, in Robinson
       Forest. Some of the other members in the group were T. M. Regan,
       K. H. Acton, R. C. Johnson, H. W. Alexander, all students, and
       R. A. Foy, the student instructor.  It was about 3:00 in the afternoon,
       and the entire party had been thoroughly drenched by a heavy rain.
       Since we were working near the road, all of the party except Foy and
       I went to the truck to get out of the rain, but we stayed hoping to com-
       plete the route line that day. Foy was checking the line and I was
       clearing his line of sight with a machette.  When Foy told me the line
       was clear, I started to place the machette in a rotten stump so I could
       hold the line rod, I swung the machette to place it in the top of the




 





                                                                           5



stump but it was rotten and the machette came out. I started to
stick the machette in another stump with a stab-like, underhand
motion, and when the blade hit the stump, it stopped and myr
hand slipped off the plastic handle and down the sharp edge of the
blade.  I realized my hand was severely injured and called for
help. Harry Alexander had a first aid kit and he placed a gauze
pad over the wounds and wrapped the hand with gauze.

    After this first aid treatment, Foy drove me back to camp
and when I told Professor Shaver what had happened, he drove me
to the "Home Place,, Hospital just outside of Hazard.

    When the doctor at this hospital examined the hand, he said
that the tendons were cut in the three big fingers of my right hand.
I asked him if he could repair them, and he said he could. but un-
less he got a perfect tie back, I would have a stiff hand for life.
He then suggested that it would be better if I would go "o Lexington
and have an orthopedic surgeon repair the tendons because the
operation was a tedious one. After he told Professor Shaver this,
he called Dr. 0, B. Murphy in Lexington and he told him he was
sending me to Lexington.  Dr. Murphy explained the need for hur-
rying because tendons could not be easily repaired after seven
hours. The doctor at the Home Place hospital gave me some pen-
icillin and dressed the hand,

    We left the hospital and arrived in Lexington about 9:00 p. m.
and when we walked in the hospital and I told them my name, they
took me immediately to surgery where several nurses and two
doctors were waiting for me and they started the operation im-
mediately,

    The operation was performed and directed by Dr. Andrew
Moore, a plastic surgeon, who was called in by Dr. Murphy because
of his experience with tendons.  The operation required five hours
and after the operation, my hand and arm were placed in a cast to
my elbow which I wore for three weeks.  After the operation on
Tuesday night, I remained in the hospital until the following Monday,
July 18, 1955. After dismissal from the hospital, I was required
to visit the doctor twice each week until the cast was removed the
first week in August, 1955. After the cast was removed, I had to
stay in Lexington to see the doctor once a week until the first of
September,

    I am still visiting the doctor approximately once a month, and
he tells me the hand is recovering satisfactorily and should with the
best results finally attain 85% of its original strength and motion;
however, this will take a period of 18 to 24 months.

         Professor R. E. Shaver, head of the Department of Civil Engineering,
confirmed the accuracy of the statement of Mr. Philpot.  Doctor Donovan read
an opinion by W. L. Matthews, Jr. , Professor of Law, concerning the legal as-
pects of the case.  There seem to be three legal questions involved: one, wheth-
er the University was negligent in the particular case; (2) whether a state agency
is responsible for its torts; and (3) whether the University is immune from the
s ui t.

         Mr. Matthews, opinion discussed the legal questions and resolved all
three questions in the negative, except to state that a suit could be authorized
by the State legislature. It did not seem that the case merited such a request
of the legislature and the general discussion of the Committee indicated that
the University could not accept responsibility for accidents to students on or off
the campus, in classes or laboratories, while in the pursuit of academic training,
in the absence of shown negligence on the part of supervisors.

        After a thorough discussion of the questions involved, and upon motion
duly made, seconded and carried, the Executive Committee declined to authorize
payment for medical services or hospital treatment given.



         M. Report on Work of the Department of Health and Dispensary Request-
e d.

         Members of the Committee discussed at some length the number of acci-
dents that seem to occur to personnel of the University, and the treatment given
or not given in the Dispensary to persons injured.  The members desired a
clearer conception of the services rendered by the Department of Health and Dis-
pensary personnel, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, requested
President Donovan to secure a report of the services and activities of the depart-
ment and submit to the Board at its next meeting a written report, that the Board
may be better informed.



        No Bond of Phi Upsilon Omicron Cashed.

        War Savings Bond, #C566329F, dated June, 1943, for $100. 00 was placed
for safekeeping in the hands of the Comptroller.  The treasurer, Inez Toohey, of
Phi Upsilon Omicron has made a written request that this bond be cashed and the
proceeds placed to the credit of the Phi Upsilon Omicron account.  The Vice Pres-
ident, Business Administration, reports that the request has been complied with
and desires to be relieved from responsibility in connection with the security.

        Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, War Savings Bond #C566329F,
dated June, 1943, was approved for delivery to the Federal Treasurer, and the pro-
ceeds credited to the account of Phi Upsilon Omicron.  The Treasurer is released
from further responsibilit'j in connection with the bond.




 









        0. Report on College of Pharmacy Building

        Mr. Peterson reported that the plans and specifications for the College

amicable settlement had been agreed to by and between the University of Kentucky
and Mrs. Ann C. Turner, owner of the property at 135 Washington Avenue, and
that a deed would soon be made transferring the property.

        On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report was authorized
received and made of record.



        P. Report on Sorority Property

        Mr. Peterson reported that six sororities had submitted to the architect,
John T. Gillig, an outline of what they desire the structures to contain, and that
Mr. Gillig was in process of submitting a site development plan and preliminary
plans to the sororities involved, for buildings to be constructed. He further
reported that application for a federal loan had been made to the Regional Authori-
ties of the Federal Housing Administration, Atlanta, Georgia.

        Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report was authorized
received and made of record.



        Q. Resolution on Death of S. C. Jones.

        President Donovan stated that he regretted to report Lhe death of another
one of the University' s faithful and loyal employees who, for the past several
years, had been on change -of .-work status. He submitted the following resolution
on the death of Sadocie Conelle Jones:



              Resolutions on the Death of Sadocie Conelle Jones

            Sadocie Conelle Jones was born in Scott County, Kentucky,April
        13, 1880  His early education was in the public schools of Scott
        County and he then entered Kentucky State College, now the Univer-
        sity of Kentucky, from which he received a bachelor, s degree in
        agriculture in 1906 and a master of science degree at the University
        of Illinois in 1909.

            He was married to Florence 0' Haver August 15, 1917.  To
        them were born two sons, Robert Kenada and Charles Kirkpatrick.

            Mr. Jones began his professional career in soil survey work
        at the University of Illinois in 1907 but returned to Kentucky the
        following year to work on geological surveys for the Kentucky Ex-
        periment Station in cooperation with the Kentucky Geological Survey.
        In 1914 he went to similar work with Purdue University but returned




 









        again to Kentucky January 1. 1920, as superintendent of the ex-
        periment fields.  He then became Extension Agronomist, August
        1, 1923 in which capacity he continued until he accepted a change -
        of-status at age 70 and was given the title of Soil Technologist.

            Mr. Jones, work was noteworthy.  He described the marl
        beds in Kentucky and advocated the use of marl and lime to the
        great benefit of Kentucky agriculture.  He was an enthusiastic,
        vigorous and effective worker and a loyal friend. Now, whereas
        it has pleased Almighty God to call home our associate and co-
        laborer be it resolved:

            That in the passing of Sadocie Conelle Jones on October 27,
        1955, the state of Kentucky and a large circle of friends, co-
        workers and associates have suffered an irreparable loss.

            That the life and work of Mr. Jones will long serve as an
        example and inspiration to workers in his and related fields.

            That we mourn his passing but that we renew our faith in
        his God and ours, One whose work we can only faintly understand
        but One who makes no mistakes.

            Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be
        spread upon the minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board
        of Trustees and that a copy be sent to the family of Sadocie Conelle
        Jones,
