     President Barker then read his semi-annual report,
which is as follows:-

     To the Board of Trustees,
          State University of Kentucky,
               Lexington, Ky.

     Gentlemen:-

          In accordance with the law, I have the honor
     to herewith make you my semi-annual report of the
     conditions, affairs and management of State Univer-
     sity. This report will, of course, cover that period
     elapsing from your last meeting to this date.

          In June and July of this year, by the authori-
     ty of the Executive Committee of this Board, there
     was conducted on the campus a Summer School of eight
     weeks duration. We had one hundred and seventy-five
     students, nearly all of whom were teachers of the
     common and high schools throughout the State, who
     were perfecting themselves for their vocations in
     life. These teachers coming from all parts of the
     State, expressed themselves to me as being exceed-
     ingly pleased with the State University and especial-
     ly with the Summer School.

          The regular session for the year 1915-16 began
    on the thirteenth day of September 1915. The number
    of students for this term exceeds that of the pre-
    ceding term slightly. In quality and scholarship,
    I can truthfully say there was never the equal of the
    student body here now on the campus at any preceding
    time. They are unusually well behaved set of young
    men and women, and the professors speak of their
    studious habits in words of highest praise.

          In order that you may have before you the growth
    of the University for the last seven years, I herein
    incorpvrate- a tabulated statement showing the enroll-
    ment each year from 1909-10 to 1915, inclusive. This
    table includes only the regular four year students
    of the various colleges. Adding to the number of four
    year students, the special students and the short course
    students, we have now on the roster twelve hundred and
    fifty-five (1255) students.   Judging by what has taken
