,‘ _ THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY AND THE WAR I
‘ '1'he University of Kentucky, like all colleges in the country, is I
. _ » doing its utmost to aid the nation to win the war. To military service A 1
and related work have gone many thousands of its former students I
" and more than a hundred and forty members of the instructional and T
" . research staff. Curricular adjustments have been made with a view I
. to lending the most immediate and direct aid to the war effort and .
n _ many special research projects have been established. Since, May, J
1943, the University has operated a unit of the Army Specialized I
. V Training Program, involving at times as many as 1200 soldier trainees.
I In March, 1944 the University’s quota in the Army Specialized
· Training Program was reduced to 220, in conformity with the general `
~ limitations placed on this program by the War Department, and in J
, ‘ Feburary, 1945, the number of trainees was approximately 310. The
. future of the University’s participation in soldier training cannot be
foretold. It should be emphasized, however, that the army training
~ programs of the past have been operated without detriment to the
‘ regular schedule of classes and the future will see no change in this _
general policy. ·
‘ A complete program of studies will be operated for women and
I for men not in service, utilizing the regular instructional staf. Room-
ing and boarding facilities will be adequate and as carefully super-
vised as usual. It is the purpose of the University to maintain its
program of liberal education and its professional schools at the same
I high level on which they have been operated in the past, while at the  
L same time meeting in every way possible the immediate demands
of the nation for trained military personnel.

‘ V _ V - The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni-
1 V V' ; versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in
V , 1865. The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public
~ , V _ education under one organization. This experiment was tried for
- I ·- ‘ _ a number of years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized
under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and
V , . mechanic arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people
V · of Kentucky decided to establish a state institution of higher
- I learning, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was
. separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on land,
V ` ` given by the City of Lexington and the County of Fayette. Thirty
- —· years later the legislature changed the name of the institution to
I §1e State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial
IV support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time to the
V · » present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by legisla- V
` tive act.
l ;_ ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
  Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as fresh-
, men; with advanced standing from other institutions; as special
. students; and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is also
i K governed by special regulations.
r Applications for admission to the University should be made to
I the Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Offiice. Certi-
lied copies of high school credentials and of work done in other in-
, stitutions should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance ·
l of the registration period. Failure to file credentials in time for
‘ checking before the registration period will delay the student in
arranging his program. All admissions, including those to the
professional schools and the Graduate School must be passed on
by the Registrar’s Office. Students who come to the University
- without having had their admission approved, do so at their own
risk. The University reserves the right to refuse consideration
` · of applications not made beforethe beginning of the registration
. period. Prior to the assignment of any new undergraduate stu-
1 dent to University classes, the student must take the University
i classification tests.
' Admission to the Freshmen Class
V Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will
_ be admitted to the University on certificate, provided they have at
least fifteen units of acceptable high school work. A unit repre-
E sents the study of any subject for a school year of at least thirty-
g two weeks, with five recitation periods a week, each of at least
§ forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double

 ` GENERAL INFORMATION 15
1 _ periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other
·courses requiring no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the
minimum credit accepted in any foreign language, and one-half
Z- unit the minimum in any other subject.
C While the University does not prescribe a pattern of work for
I- admission, it is strongly recommended that at least ten of the-
j units presented be chosen from the English studies, the social
1 studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory
B sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at least
Y three units in English, one and one—half in algebra, and one in
S plane geometry. Should a student lack these courses as pre—
L requisites for any of his college work, he will be required to take
y them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation.
o Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools
ll and those not graduated from high school may be admitted as
e freshmen if, in addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable units,
L- they successfully pass the University classification examinations. y
Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a
student for admission to a particular college. In every case the
student must meet the admission requirements of the college in
I- which he is to enroll.

lo Admission to Advanced Standing
0 Resident Students. A resident of Kentucky who applies for
Z admission with advanced standing is expected to present evidence
I- that he is in good standing in every respect in the institution last
i` attended and in general is required to have maintained a standing
'E of 1.0 in all previous college work. Where all circumstances seem
ui to warrant, the student may be admitted on probation when his
’n standing is below 1.0. In no case, however, shall a student be ad-
le mitted whose record is such that he would have been dropped at
In ` the University of Kentucky.
2; The University does not disregard at any time or under any
rn conditions college or university records in order to admit applicants
m solely on the basis of their high school records.
u- A transfer student is allowed only as many advanced credits
ty as he can present quality points. Otherwise, work done at a fully
accredited college or university is recognized credit for credit.
In order to be classified as fully accredited, a college must be
a member of a regional accrediting association or it must be on
.11 the approved list of the state university of the state in which it is
at located. Advanced standing from an unaccredited college may
e- be obtained at the University only by special subject examinations.
it Non-Resident Students. A non—resident who applies for ad-

·` - versity as a special student. Other persons may be admitted as I m

` Q Before a special student can become ai candidate for a degree `  
il he must have his status changed to that of a regular student. This pl

to the Registrar’s Office for admission. No credit can be given for th

cases an applicant will not be accepted unless he has maintained a
— standing of 1.3 on all previous work. While there is no prescribed
pre-law curriculum, the applicant’s record is evaluated in terms of
its relationship to the study of law, and in terms of the require- ,
ments of the Association of American Law Schools. Y
