Report, which is as follows-

     To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the State of Ken-
tucky.
     Gentlemen:-
        There is ordinarily any occasion to present more than
a brief report to the Board of Trustees at the Midwinter meeting.
There are ,however, a few matters of interest and importance
which may be presented for your consideration during the
present meeting.

     First:- The matriculation this year largely exceeds that
of any previous one. When the Board met in December 1905,
there were on the College register 563 names. Today there
are 633. The various Summer Schools of 1906- Engineering,
Classical, Mathematical, Normal and various departments in
Science had. much larger numbers in attendance than in proceed-
ing year.  The present outlook is that if the usual percentage
of increase after the holidays be maintainr d, the Catalogue
for the current year will show not far from a thousand names.
This is very gratifying.   It shows that notwithstanding the
opposition of other institutions and of those interested in
their maintenance, the unfriendly attitude of some of our own
people and the apathy others, that the college is steadily
growing in public estimation and is rapidly becoming recognized
