U The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban
i community of about 65,000 population. It is a state supported
.} institution operated under the direction of a board of trustees of
  fifteen members. The membership of this board includes the
  Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Com-
`Q? missioner of Agriculture, ex officio, and twelve members appointed
  by the Governor, three of whom are alumni of the University and
$1 three, members of the State Board of Agriculture. The Univer-
  sity is one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges,
  which were established by the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have
ii continued to receive federal assistance under the provisions of
  this and subsequent laws relating to the teaching of agriculture
_, and the mechanic arts and the provision of agricultural experiment
stations and extension services in agriculture and home economics.
The University of Kentucky is on the approved list of the

  legiate Schools of Business, the American Association of Schools
