MINUTES OF =,; BOARD OF TRUSTEES   -     May 31, 1910



us to pause and to consider whether or not we are discharging our duties as

educators when we provide for our students able and faithful teachers and costly

laboratories.  Instead of one, I am constrained to say to you that many. young men

and boys go home from this city every year with their moral sensibilities blunted

and dark spots in their characters which before were unblemished.  Gentlemen, I

do not wish to make this picture too black.  We have in this institution some as

fine young men as you can find anywhere, but I appeal to you in the name of the

fathers and mothers at home to unite with the faculty in looking after and aafe-

guarding the lives of innocent boys whose parents are trusting them to your care and

to mine.

               Vlith great respect, I am

                            Your obedient servant,

                                       James G. WMite.

     Said report was by the Chairman referred to the Committee on President's

report.





     At this point Mrs. James Mulligan appeared before the Board, President

Patterson being absent, and made a statement with reference to a proposed monument

to be erected on the University Campus to President James K. Patterson, at a cost

of about $10,0O0, and asking from the Board an appropriation for said purpose.

After an informal discussion between the members of the Board and Mrs. Mulligan,

she retired, and thereupon Prof. White offered the following resolution:

     Resolved that in recognition of the life work of the illustrious head of this

University, vwe commend the movement for the erection on the University Camus of an

appropriate statue of President James K. Patterson, and that we hereby pledge our-

selves to use our best efforts with the next Legislature of Kentucky to secure an

appropriation of $lo,oQo. for the erection of said statue.

     Said motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
