MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,July 31, 189;:$ - page 28-29



      The President of the College submitted the following
communication with favorable comment.

                        Lexington, Ky. July 30, 95.

      President James K. Patterson
               Lexington, Ky.

      Dear Sir:

           Owing to the constantly increasing work in the
      Chemical Laboratory and especially in the line of
      fertilizer analysis, I have found it impossible
      to keep up with our work, without asking  extra duty
      of the chemists.

           Mr. Curtis is assigned the work in fertilizer
      analysis and therefore the greater portion of the
      extra work has fallen upon him.

           Mr. Curtis's salary is  now $1250 per years
      I believe his work now entitles him to an increase,
      I would recommend that his salary be increased
      at least $100.00 per year, such increase to be
      taken out of the fertilizer income.

                              Yours very truly

                              M. A. Scovell, ti


      Whereupon the following was offered:

           Resolved that the increase of salary of Henry
E. Curtis is voted with the understanding that the increase
from $1250 to $1350 per annum be in lieu of all extra
compensation for extra services in the analysis of
fertilizers.

                 Resolution adopted by
