Legislature; and the same can be said of the Home Economics Build-
ing, for which the sum of $15,000 v.as appropriated.  There remain,
however, many things to be done to make these buildings livable,
Fifteen thousand dollars is needed to do some of the more necessa-
ry things, such as painting, lighting facilities, shades and awn-
ings.  It will probaubly take another year.-to provide the things,
.-fhich these buildings require.

     In view, of the transfer of the Departments of Zoology, Art
and Home Economics to the new buildings, there will be left space
in the so-called Science Building and in the Art Center.   It is
expected that there will be some adjustment of room in the first
named building, giving some additional space to the Department of
Geology, as well as to the Department of Romance Languages.   In
the readjustment of this building it will be necessary to spend
some money, not a great deal -- probably about 12,000.   The Art
Center will be used by the Department of Music and by the work in
drama and the Guignol Theatre.   The result wHill be a considerable
readjustment of spa.ce for these departments, though hardly enough
to meet their recuirements.

     In a plant as large as that of the University of Kentucky
there are considerable repairs that inust be kept up if the build-
ings arc not to deteriorate.   Roofs have a vray of leaking, sash
of drying up, floors of becoming pitted, and walls of dropping
their paint.  And while thisi deterioration goes on, there must,
of cou-se, be adequate cleaning procedure to keep the buildings
presentable.   In the last fifteen years, the square feet of
floor space has trebled, and the amount of cubic space to be kept
at a fair temperature during the winter months, has grown apace,
so that the cost of maintaining buildings constantly grows from
year to year.

     This wprinter has been, as you know, a severe one, makin- heavy
call upon the heating facilities of the University.   The low
temperatures extending from the middle of December to the middle
of March placed a heavy load upon the heating plant through nearly
four months.   In the main the plant has responded effectively
and well, and there have been no breakdowns, but there are six
buildings in the middle of the campus, consisting of the Adminis-
tration Building, White Hall, Neville Hall, the old Chemistry
Building, Science Hall and the Carnegie Library, which are con-
trolled by a thermostat placed in the Administration Building.
Consequently, the temperatures in these buildings go up and down,
not in accordance with their needs, but according to the condition
in the Administration Building.   This situation has been called
to my attention a number of times, but nothing has been done, due
to the cost involved.   However, something should be done this
summer, so that each building will have its own thermostatic con-
trol.   It is also desirable to make arrangements to heat the
greenhouse at the end of White Hall, so that the temperature can
be controlled in that house.   Some loss in specimens ensued
this winter.   These specimens were to be exchanged with one
of the western botanical gardens.   Thus the duplicates we had
were lost and the opportunity to secure additional ones had to be
givonup due to this loss.
