                      Decemnber 14, 1933

          QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES


     I am presenting to yo'u my report for the second quarter of
the fiscal year 1933-1934.

     The problems which face the University at this time are very
much the same as those confronting it during the past year.   The
income of the University from State sources has declined 4 1o from
the high point in 1930-1931.   The income from this source for the
year 1932-33 was $674,000.   The budget for this year estimates
receipts from the State for general purposes of the University at
$650,000.   At this time $270,0OO has been received from the State,
leaving approximately 5380,000 to be provided if the University is
to carry out the budget adopted in June, 1933.   The inheritance
tax has held uAp quite satisfactorily; the sum of f 95,527.53 has
been received from this source.   With seven months yet remaining
in the year, the receipts from the inheritance tax should equal
the aw.mount estimated in the budget.  Taxes from real estate and
certain intangible properties were not due until December 1 and
can be paid without penalty on or before February 1.   With the
increase in federal money comning into the State, it is quite pos-
sible that this item also will reach the budget estimatei,

     In preparing the buen.et for the biennial period the ariocedure
has been to place the amount required for the general ope:at-ion of
the University on an appropriation basis.   From all that can be
gathered, and by the action of the last legislature, general ap.
propriations will be made for the support of all State institu-
tions.   With that in mind, the sumr of $850,000 has been asked in
addition to the miscellaneous receipts of the University from
fees, special appropriations and other items.   The sum of 850,000
is larger than the amount received from taxes in the past rear,
but this item is .120,000 less than the anount set in the budget
bill of 1932.   The reason why 4this item is larger is due (1) to
the fact that the University will be called upon to accept w1aTyants
for sonme cf the appropriation money; it is figured t'hat this year
it will amount to not less than f;485,000, (2) and to the fact. that
the supplies for University departments have gone down to a rtini-
"nuxm point, and it will require a considerable sum to brin$; these
up to where the departments will have sufficient supplies.   There
remains a difference of about `70,000 to be accounted for.   This
sure is to cover items of expense and to bring the salaries up to
where they were after the l1013f: cut had been made.

     In the general requests of the University there is an item
of !'158,000.spread over the two year period.  This item is for
the purpose of pa.Jing back sa-laries to -miemrbe-rs of the staff.  In.
order to refresh your minds on this -ia-tter, you will recall that
in 1931-32 the University was conafronted with an unexpected reduc-
tion in income.   For two m.ionths a payment of $100 a m..onth was
made, and 'or the last two months of that year no salaries at all
were paid.   This is an obligation which should be taken care of,
It K.ight be said in this connection that the total amount due was
. 205,000, bUt payments have been made which bring the amount down
to 158,000.   There is also an item in this budget asking for
*.40,000 a. year for two years to take care of repairs.  Buildings
at the University have gone without repair in the last two years
and it will be necessary to paint buildings, fix roofs, and make
other repairs to the plant.

     In submitting the University requests to the Budget Com:i-.sision
a detailed statemient of repairs is set forth.

     T'here is also asked in the general requests an annual appro-
priation of '20, 000 to take care of the suraer session.  The pres-
ent sua-.amer school is supported by fees only and It finds these af-
ford very inadequate support.    It has been shown that the work of
the suixrner school can be expanded almost indefinitely with profit
to the students.   Another t30,000 annually is for assisting in
instruction in the College of Agriculture.    The requests for the
experimient stations are the sam.e as those meade in past years.  The
appropriation for agricultural extension is increased by 'p30,000,
w-ehich is made necessary because t'he Federal Government is calling
upon this agency to expand its work in connection with the projects
which the Government is raa2ting.

     Attention should also be given to the requests of tVe Director
of the Bureau of Llineral and Topographic Survey, auth orized by
Chapter 26 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1932.   The amount
appropriated at that time was .$3,000 a year.  The Director is ask-
ing for $32,000 annually to carry on coal investigations, oil and
gas inestigationCs, miscellaneous investigations includningU clay,
-ock asphalt, and study of wells, as well as topographical .!iappin,-;
of the State, the expense of wnhich is matchled by the United States
Geological Survey.

     The Executive Commnittee -met on November 12 and spent moost of
the meeting in discussing possible projects under the Public Works
Administration.   Under t'he provisions of the National Recovery
Act, it is possible for public institutions to receive a grant of
3O% and a. loan of 70Q, on any enterprise which is a public necessity
and for which an annual amortization sun might be found to meet the
financing of the project.   On the list of proposed projects at the
University of Kentucky were a heating and power plant, a. student
union building, a home economics building and other building proj-
ects, which amounted to approximately $1,000,000.   To mleet the
am1ortization would require a sum of $50,000 a year for a period of
thirty years.   Some of the projects would have a shorter period.
The discussion centered largely around the question, whether the
University was in a position to obligate itself for a sum suffi-
cient to amortize the loan on any or all of these projects.   The
University, like other institutions, is faced with a declining
incomnie in the next several years.  The viewpoint expressed by the
committee was one of doubt, tho I was instructed to gather further
information on the matter.   In this connection, it might be well
to report the statement made by the Chancellor of the University
of Pittsburgh to the effect that his board of trustees when asked
why the University of Pittsburgh had not taken advantage of the
P. X7. A. said., IIt is a bad time to get into debt."  I discussed
the matter with a number of University presidents, whom I met in
Chicacro.  Some of them have sapplied for money to carry out proj-
ects on their campuses.   In most instances legislative action was
taken by the states and provision was made to take care of the
amortization charges.    I have come to the conclusion that perhaps
it is just as well to let the matter go by,    The sum appropriated
is about gone now, tho the next Congress may make further provision,

     There is another plan carried on by the Federal Government
lor the purpose of relieving the unemployment situation, known as
the Civil 7orks Administration.   Under this plan money is allotted.
to the different states for the purpose of employing labor. The
University has presented several projects to the State administra-
tor.   These provide for the repair of roads, walks and some grad-
ing.   Another project has been submitted to him for painting
buildings, and undoubtedly, the labor could be secured if the Uni-
versity could provide the paint.    The paint for the projects would
cost about p800,   It is also thought some allotment coul~d be se-
cured for work in libraries.    The University is applying for such
help to take care of work in the library in connection with

pa-phlets, periodicals and books which are gifts.    It has also been
suggested that institutions apply to the C. W. A. for artists capa-
ble of painting murals in some of the buildings.

     I have no doubt you will be interested in the enrollment fig-
ures for the year..   On November 3, the total enrollment was 2477.
On the same date of 1932 it was 2642, which makes a difference of
165.   The decline in enrollment is to be found in part in the Grad-
ua.te School and in the upper two classes.   The number of freshmen
was 11 fewer than last year, there were 8 more men and 19 fewer
wo men.  There were 30 fewer sophomores, 36 fcvc= men and sil *.aiorc
women.  There  rere 22 ewer juniors, 34 fewer men and 5 more women.
There were 33 fewer seniors, a fewer men and 24 fewer women.    There
were 49 fewer graduate students, 32 fewer men and 17 fewer women.
In ?133 for the whole enrollment there are 60 fewer women and 105
fewer men compared with the year before.    In the dollege of Arts
and Sciences there were 44 fewer students, in Agriculture 6, in
Engineering 39, in Law there was a.n increase of 8, in Education
there was a decline of 54 and in Commerce an increase of 6.

     The policy followed by the University in connection with its
staff has been to hold the staff together, if possible, even tho
at reduced salaries.    However, where resignations have taken place
and vacancies have come thru death or other causew, the places have
not been filled, so that today the staff is smaller than it has
been in several years.

     The problem of getting the needs of the University before the
members of the legislature has been taken up with more definiteness
of purpose than in any other legislative meeting.     During the past
year the Alumni Association has secured the cooperation of one or
more persons in each legislative district who have agreed to present
the University matters to the representatives from their districts.
In order to make their work more effective I have sent them a
statement of the general situation, a memorandum of the requests
the University will make, as well as a statement of the University
income in the last three years.    Copies of these have been sent
to the members of the Board of Trustees, as well,

     While the whole financial situation is far from encouraging, I
have confidence that the legislature is not going to reduce the
University expenditures below the point where they now stand. Cer-
tainly, it is not possible to keep going on a minimum basis for
any considerable time.    We are not keeping up on our book pur-
chases and the equipment for work in science and engineering is
going down hill.    Buildings are falling out of repair and the
painting of woodwork on our structures is far behind schedule.     Un-
less these things are taken care of in a fairly satisfactory way
very much greater expenditures will have to be made in the course
of the next few years.

     A good deal of criticism has been made about the Council on
Athletics, the coach, the team and the student body.  Most of
this criticism has been due to ignorance of the organization and
procedure in the care of athletic matters.   The present coach,
Mr. Harry Gamage, has resigned, and the Council has made a selec-
tion in the person of Mr. Chet Wynne, coach of the Alabama Poly-
technic Institute at Auburn.   One of the difficulties with which
the University is faced is the fact that it has little in the way
of scholarships and aid for students who are in need of such help
and find it impossible to come to the University. This brings me
to comment upon the Student Loan Fund.

     This fund amounted at one time to approximately $32,000. The
policy which was followed by the University in admninistering this
fund was to loan the principal.   The result is that nearly the
whole of the loan fund is tied up in notes over due, some of
which will actually not be paid.   Just at the time when the Uni-
versity needs this loan fund it finds it heas little or no resources
by which to assist those in need of help.   The Dean of Men has
suggested that a tuition loan be made and that the policy of the
University in regard to loaning be changed and the principal in-
vested so as to pay loans out of income.   I think this has a good
deal to commend it.

     I am glad to report that the occupation of dormitories has
improved in that the number of men occupying dormitory rooms has
been increased to 227.   These halls have a capacity to house 251.
It seems desirable, howev'er, to make a change in the matter of
residence in these halls.   It has been suggested that it would be
possible to reauire all freshman men to live in the residence
halls.   Fromi the census we have made, about 140 of these are lo-
cal students.   In the past when a suggestion of this kind has
been made, the difficulties of the fraternities were brought out
as making it impossible to require freshmen to live in the dormi-
tories and give the fraternities at the same time a chance to
live.   I find in some colleges freshmen live in dormitories, but
upper class members of fraternities are required to live in fre-
ternity houses.   If the University would authorize the housing
of freshmen in the residence halls and compel all upper class merli
bers of fraternities to live in their fraternity houses, the fra-
ternities would suffer no loss.   If in addition to this, -me*mers
were required to pay their room and board before given their cred-
its, the fraternities would be further assisted.   I think the
time has come to require the fraternities to make a statement each
month to some University officer.   The outcome of this would be
that the fraternities would have money to meet their obligations
and a better feeling between the University and the merchants of
Lexington would result.   The freshmen would be mzore comfortably
housed and receive better care.
