                                               March 31, 1958



      President Frank G. Dickey
      University of Kentucky

      Dear President Dickey:

              At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board
      of Trustees October 21, 1955 building needs of the University were
      discussed.  Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, Pres-
      ident Donovan and Mr. Peterson were requested to submit to the
      Board at the next meeting a formalized program.  On November
      18, 1955, a ten year building program was outlined and submitted
      to the Executive Committee of the Board and made of record.

             A central kitchen and dining unit for women, s halls was
      recommended to cost approximately $1, 000, 000.

             Since 1955 a new residence hall for women has been author-
      ized, constructed, and completed, housing 298 women students.
      Keeneland Hall was put into operation in 1955, housing approximately
      300 girls.

             Students living in Patterson, Boyd, and Jewell Halls are
      served meals in a mnakeshift kitchen and dining area of Boyd and
      Jewell Halls, Space is not adequate to accommodate students liv-
      ing in Keeneland and Holmes Halls,  Therefore, these students,
      nearly 600 of them, will be fed in the Student Union Commons Cafe-
      teria.  This certainly will overtax the facilities of the Student Union
      Commons Cafeteria, where all students not housed in dormitories
      generally dine. The student enrollment of the University will this
      year increase between 700 and 1,000 students.  The year 1959
      will be no exception.  It seems, therefore, highly desirable that the
