     I wish also to refer to the work of the Agricultural Exten-
sion Division and the Experiment Station.   The work done in this
State has been of a very high order.   These two divisions have
assisted in the work of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration,
Rural Rehabilitation, Soil Erosion and Land Usage, with the result
that the staff has been hard worked.    I think it may be said, how-
ever, they have done a very good Job under the circumstances.

     The University has been called upon frequently to help with
the work of the State Planning Board and Land Usage, and it re-
quires time and money.   I want to give evidence of the work done
by these divisions.

     We ought to have at the University a University of Kentucky
Press, so that important University reports and findings may be
printed.   By that I do not mean to establish a printing plant, but
to provide the facilities for getting things published.    I think
it might be possible to start a University Press with the sum of
$5,000 used as a revolving fund, and after the press was started,
the University would make sales to maintain the revolving fund,
For instance, the University published a quarterly for some time,
but it was necessary to give it up on account of reduced funds.
The University published THE KENTUCKY LAW JOURNAL in cooperation
with the State Bar Association.    There are also the publications
of the Bureau of School Service, the Bureau of Business Research
and the publications of the College of Agriculture.    This program
adds to the reputation of the University.    I am suggesting the
press as an ideal toward which we may look in the future.

     The University has very little in the way of fine pictures and
other objects of art.   We ought to have some pictures of value
and art objects at the University for the students in fine arts,
for the students in general, and for the public.    We should also
have more outstanding lecturers, not for a single.lecture but for
a series of lectures.   We should not only bring in the man for
lectures, but we should also publish the lectures.    Yale and oth-
er institutions have funds for such lecturew and publications --
they add to the prestige of an institution.

     We ought to have in the near future an organization, one that
at the present time is but loosely held, for alumni work, publici-
ty, placement, the care of mailings and mailing lists, and the dis-
tribution of printed matter, and I hope to suggest to the board at
some time soon a more orderly arrangement than exists at the pres-
ent time.

     The fees that the University charges and has been compelled
to charge are much higher than those le-vied by other public insti-
tutions in the State.   They are not as high as the fees charged
by institutions in the North, but average higher than those in the
South.   The University charges 094 a year, 80 of which goes to
the University.   The teachers' colleges in this State charge $20
a year, which has increased their enrollment.    For instance, M.
Cherry told me he had a freshman enrollment of 935 in college
swork.  This is about 50 more freshmen than the University has in
its different colleges.    The desire for  a college education has
