     It was moved and seconded that the Board of Trustees
take such action as may be necessary for the proller cele-
bration of the semi-centennial existence of the University, the
Chair to appoint a committee of five of which the President
of the University will be chairman, to perfect the arrangements.
Motion carried.

     The Chair appointed President Barker, Dr. Kastle, Mr. G.
G. Brock, Mr. H. M. Froman and Mr. R. C. Stoll to serve on the
committee.

     On motion made, seconded and carried, it was voted that
the committee, as organized, fix the date of the jubilee cele-
bration.

     The President's annual report was thlen read, which is as
followes:-

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

     Gentlemen:-

          We are now at the close of the forty-ninth session
     of the University, and I herewith have the honor of mak-
     ing you my personal report as President, as by law re-
     quired.

          In as much as since your last meeting, the personnel
     of the Board has been so radically changed, it has seemed
     to me to be proper to make a more extended report than would
     otherwise be necessary. Having ill December last, prepared
     my Biennial report for the Governor and General Assembly,
     in 'which is set forth, in detail, a history of the Univer-
     sity during the two years immediately preceding January fi~rst-*.
     1916, which is the very information I wish you to have, I
     refer to it and make it a part of this report. A printed
     copy is now furnished you and I hope you will do me the
     honor to read it.

          In my Biennial report, I give a table showing the
     growth of the University from year to year since I have
     been President.  As this present year was then only half
     gone, I could only approximate the final number.    I gave
     the approximate number as fourteen hundred and thirty-
     nine, but as a matter of fact, there are, in all, as
     shown by the roster, fourteen hundred and forty-five stu-
     dents registered during the present session.

          The past session has been unusually satisfactory in
     every way. As shnown in the report, there has been a
     healthy growth in the number of students each year, and
     in the last six years, the number has doubled. In every
     department the teaching has been done in a highly efficient
     way, and our graduating class numbers in all one hundred
     and sixty-five (165). All of our graduates who desire




 




20



positions have been 'olpced, and they will only have to
wait until they receive their diplomas to start to work
in the battle of life under the most auspicious circum-
stances.

     We are looking forward to n most successful and
highly entertaining commencement, on the first day of June
next.  The program is unusually brilliant and I hope that
all the Trustees car. find it convenient to remain and take
vart in the exercises.

     Our financial reoort, a printed copy of which is
in your possession, shows that we have lived within our
income as by law required.   The statement is as follows:






                    (Printed report)




























     In conclusion, I urge upon your honorable body that
you do everything to promote the Extension work which has
come to the University as a duty undelthe Smith-Lever Act
of Congress in conjunction with an Act of the General
Assembly of Kentucky, which we call the Agricultural Bill.
There is no state in the union where there is a more
urgent need for the diffusion of scientific knowledge in
agriculture than in Kentucky. Our state, in natural fer-
tility of soll, is second to none of her sister states,




 







     but unfortunately, for a long period, agriculture has
     been carried on in such a slipshod and slovenly manner
     that a very large part of the soil of Kentucky has be-
     come denleted in fertility, and unless it is brought back
     to its original fertile state, agriculture in the common-
     wealth is bound to be a failure.

          Under the provisions of the Act of Congress and
    Acts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, it has become your
    duty to establish a new university, one entirely outside
    of the ;;.walle on..the campus, a university whose students
    are the farmers of Kentucky and. whose laboratories are
    the corn fields, the tobacco natches and the dairy and
    feeding barns of the farmer. In this great out-of-doors
    university, it is proposed that scientific men shall
    search out the fnrmer who needs help, solve for him all
    the solvable problems and to teach him all that is vital
    to his interest. In my opinion, the University of Ken-
    tucky will fall very far short in its real mission if it
    fails to become the very heart of the development of all
    the interests of Kentucky. It should point the way of
    imn-rovement in all the great affairs of our Commonwealth,
    and should be able to deliver the very last word of
    science on every subject of interest to the peopl1e.

          The great mission then of the Agricultural College
     is to consider the condition of the farmer, to educate
     his children and to inbue them with the love for the
     farm and a just appreciation of the nobility of agricul-
     ture as a vocation; to solve all the problems which need
     solution; to restore the fertility of the depleted soil;
     to find for him a mn.rket for his produce; to banish ore-
     ventable disease from his family and his stock; to unloose
     from his throat the grasp of monopoly and unlawful corn-
     binations by whatever name called; to banish. sloth and
     povery and all unnecessary toil and to fix the bow of
     hope on the horizon of prosperity.   This view in no wise
     loses sight of the value of cultural education or in any
     way minL-nizes it; it rather rounds out and illumines the
     rural life by clasping the hand of academic culture in
     that of agricultural success.

                          Very respectfully,

                          (Signed) Henry S. Barker, President

     On motion of President Barker, it wats voted that the
present Executive Committee be reappointed for the coming year.
Motion carried.

     The Chair then instructed President Barker to commu-
nicate with all the absent members of the Board and advise
them that if they were absent from two consecutive meetings,
they would be dropped from membership.



It was moved, seconded and carried, that the Board of




 








22



Trustees meet oftener than twice a year, and that the Chair
designate two other meetings of the Board that would be within
the law.

     It was moved by Dr. Marks that a report in full of the
meetings of the Execative Committee be read and sent out ten
days after the meetings to the members of the Board. Motion
carried.

     It was moved by Mr. Lyle that the ?resident of the Uni-
versity be instructed to request the Carnegie Foundation to
make a study of this institution and to submit to this Board
a report as to its findings. Motion carried.

     On motion, seconded and carried, it. was voted that the
Chair appoint a committee of three to report on the organization
of permanent committees.

     Those aprointed were Mr. Stoll, Mr. Ellison and President
Barker.

     Dr. Patterson offered the following resolution:-

     Resolved that the Secretary of the Board of T~rustees
be directed at the earliest possible date to infoarm the county
superintendents of schools that traveling expenses and exemption
from fees will not be allowed to any matriculate, male or female,
claiming these privileges, unless the beneficiary be appointed
in e act conformity with the requirements of the statutes,
which appointment shall be duly certified by, the County Super-
intendent to the Registrar of the University. On motion duly-
seconded, and carried, the resolution waes adopted.

     Judge Lafferty called attention of the members of the
Board regarding receipts for their expenses and asked that
in future receipts be presented for all expenses over a dol-
lar, incurred incident to their attending the meetings.

     On motion, meeting adjourned, subject to call of the
Chair.
