THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban
community of about 65,000 population. It is a state-supported
institution operated under the direction of a board of trustees of
fifteen members. The membership of this board includes the
Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Com-
missioner of Agriculture, ex officio, and twelve members appointed
by the Governor, three of whom are alumni of the University and
three, members of the State Board of Agriculture. The University .
is one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges
which were established by the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have ,
continued to receive federal assistance under the provisions of ,
this and subsequent laws relating to the teaching of agriculture
and the mechanic arts and the provision of agricultural experiment
stations and extension services in agriculture and home economics.
The University of Kentucky is on the appr-oved list of the
Association of American Universities, and is a member of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the
Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is
accredited in its respective colleges or departments by the Associa- .
tion of American Law Schools, the American Association of Col- ‘
legiate Schools of Business, the American Association of Schools
and Departments of Journalism, the American Library Association, ,
the National Association of Schools of Music, and the Engineers’
Council for Professional Development.
The major function of the University is that of instruction.
For the performance of this function it is organized into the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Home `
Economics, the College of Engineering, the College of Law, the
College of Education, the College of Commerce, the Graduate
School, and a Department of University Extension. Residence ’
instruction is given through four quarters of approximately twelve
weeks each, the summer quarter being divided into two terms.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the Uni-
versity contributes to the welfare of the state through research,
experimentation, and public service. While all departments make
important contributions along these lines, certain divisions and
bureaus have been established specifically for these purposes.
Included in this group are the Experiment Station and the Exten-
sion Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics,
the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau of Government
Research, the Bureau of School Service, the Bureau of Source
Materials in Higher Education, the Personnel Office, the Teachers
Placement Bureau, the Department of University Extension, and
the Department of Public Relations.

14 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
4 The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni-
Qi . . . . .
j versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in
l` 1865. The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public
education under one organization. This experiment was tried for
a number of years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized
1 { under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and
mechanic arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people
‘ —} of Kentucky decided to establish a state institution of higher
H i learning, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was
; separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on land
j_ Ei given by the City of Lexington and the C-ounty of Fayette. Thirty
I T years later the legislature changed the name of the institution to
: ; the State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial
g _ support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time to the
g present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by
. ‘ legislative act.
‘ ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as fresh-
1 ·l men; with advanced standing from other institutions; as special
“ · students; and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is also
_ _ _j ` governed by special regulations.
F Applications for admission to the University should be made to
the Registrar. Certified copies of high school credentials and of
. 4 work done in other institutions should be submitted to the Regis-
~ ii trar’s Office in advance of the registration period. Failure to file
I 1 credentials in time for checking before the registration period will
I i delay the student in arranging his program. All admissions, includ-
ing those to the professional schools and the Graduate School, must
r 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 con-
sideration of applications not made before the beginning of the
registration period.
` 3 Admission to the Freshman Class
Resident Students. Residents of Kentucky who are graduates
of accredited high schools will be admitted to the University on cer-
tificate, provided they have fifteen units of high school work char-
. acterized as follows. ·
ii At least ten of the units presented must be chosen from the
_ E English studies, the social studies, mathematics, the foreign lan-
Q guages, and the natural sciences, the last to include not more than
one unit of general science. Within these ten units, the student
— ] must present three units in English, exclusive of journalism, public
speaking, and dramatics. It is strongly recommended that the ap-
el

’r{i' plicant present one unit each of algebra and plane geometry, since he A
tn may wish to take many courses in the University for which these ~l
mc subjects are prerequisite. Should the student lack these courses as ·
for prerequisites for any of his college work, he will be required to take
Zed them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation.
md One unit is the minimum credit accepted in any foreign lan-
ple guage, and one-half unit the minimum in any other subject.
her Double periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and
vas other courses requiring no outside preparation.
md Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a
rty student for admission to a particular college. In every case, the
dg? student must meet the admission requirements of the college in '
' which he is to enroll.
tg; Resident students who have graduated from unaccredited high ’
schools and those not graduated from high school may be admitted ~
as freshmen if, in addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable
units, they successfully pass the University classification examina- ‘
tions.
Sh- Students may be admitted either under the above plan or under
Zia} the regulations previously in force through the first quarter of
lso 1944—45.
Non-Resident Students. Students who are not residents of .
to Kentucky may be admitted when they meet the above requirements 1
of for resident students and when in addition they rank in the upper `
{is- two—thirds of their high school graduating classes. _

at mission with advanced standing is expected to present evidence
m_ that he is in good standing in every respect in the·1nst1tut1on last
me attended and in general is required to have maintained a standmg l`
of 1.0 in all previous college work. Where all circumstances seem ‘
to warrant, the student may be admitted on probation when his
standing is below 1.0. In no case, however, shall a student be ad-
mitted whose record is such that he would have been dropped at
tes the University of Kentucky.
,r_ The University does not disregard at any time or under any
u__ conditions college or university records in order to admit applicants
solely on the basis of their high school records.

n_ he can present quality points. Otherwise, work done at a fully
an accredited college or university is recognized credit for credit.
pt In order to be classified as fully accredited, a college must be a
{jc member of a regional accrediting association or it must be on the
