The Board of Trustees includes the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Commissioner of Agriculture, ex officio, and twelve members appointed by the Govemor, three of whom are alumni of the University. The University is one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges, which were established by the Morrill Act of 1862, and which have continued to receive federal assistance under provisions of this and subsequent laws relating to the teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and the provision of agri- cultural experiment stations and extension services in agriculture and home economics. The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky University under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865. The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public education under one organization. This experiment was tried for a number of years. In the meantime. the federal funds authorized under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanic arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people of Kentucky decided to establish a state institution of higher learning, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on land given by the City of Lexington and the County of Fayette. Thirty years later the legislature changed the name of the institution to the State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time to the present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by legislative act. The major function of the University is that of instruction. For the per- formance of this function it is organized into the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the College of Engineering, the College of Law, the College of Education, the College of Commerce, the College of Pharmacy, the College of Adult and Extension Education, and the Graduate School. The Board of Trustees, on Iune 1, 1954 authorized the estab- lishment of a College of Medicine. An initial appropriation for its implernenta- tion was made by the General Assembly in 1956 and a Dean was appointed. Planning activities are now underway. It is expected that the Hrst class will be admitted in 1959. In addition to givmg instruction to its student body, the University con- tributes to the welfare of the state through research, experimentation, and pub- lic service. While all departments make important contributions along these lines, certain divisions and bureaus have been established specifically for these purposes. Included in this group are the Experiment Station and the Extension Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau of Government Research, the Bureau of School Service, the Bureau of Source Materials in Higher Education, the University Placement Bureau, the Radio Studios, the Bureau of Correspondence and Home Study, the Bureau of Club and Community Service, the Bureau of Audio Visual Materials, the Department of Public Relations, the Engineering Experiment Station, the Child Guidance Service, the Industrial Psychological Service, the Social Research Consultation Service, and the Bureau of Community Service. The University of Kentucky is a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is accredited in its respective colleges or departments by the Association of American Law Schools, the American Bar Association, the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, the American Associa- 16 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY tion of Schools and Departments of Ioumalism, the American Library Associa- tion, the Association of Research Libraries, the National Association of Schools of Music, the Engineer’s Council for Professional Development, the American Chemical Society, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the ` American Council on Pharmaceutical Education, the American Association of * Colleges for Teacher Education, and the National University Extension Associa- tion. The University’s Department of Social Work is a constituent member of ` the Council on Social Work Education. I I ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as freshmen, as stu- dents with advanced standing from other institutions, as graduate students, as ` special students, and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is govemed by special regulations. Applications for admission to the University should be made to the Uni- , versity Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Oflice. In order for the application to be considered these forms must be received in the Registrar’s Office by August 15 for the Fall Semester or january 2 for the Spring Semester. It will not be possible to consider applications received after these dates. In addition to the application form, official transcripts of high school credits and of work done in other colleges or universities should be submitted before the dates given above. All admissions, including those to the professional schools and the Graduate School, must be passed on by the Registrar’s Oflice. Students who come to the University without having had their admission approved do so at their own risk. The University classification tests must be taken by new undergraduate students before they can be registered for classes. Admission to the Freshman Class Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will be admitted to the University on certificate, provided they have at least fifteen units of ac- ceptable high school work. A unit represents the study of any subject for a school year of at least thirty-two weeks, with five recitation periods a week, each of at least forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other courses which demand no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the minimum credit accepted in any foreign language, and one-half unit the minimum in any other subject. While the University does not prescribe a pattern of work for admission, it recommends that at least ten of the units presented be chosen from English, the social studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at least three units in English, one and one-half in algebra, and one in plane geometry. Should a student lack these courses as prerequisites for any of his college work, he will be required to take them in college without credit, thus delaying his graduation. Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools and those not graduated from high school may be admitted as freshmen if, in addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable units, they successfully pass the University classification examinations. Admission to the University does not necessarily qualify a student for ad- mission to a particular college. In every case the student must meet the ad- mission requirements of the college in which he is to enroll. GENERAL INFORMATION 17 S2)? Admission to Advanced Standing Ca; Kentucky Students. A resident of Kentucky who applies for admission the with advanced standing is expected to present evidence that he is in good Of standing in every respect in the institution last attended. He should have ja- maintained a standing of 2.0 or an average of C in all previous college work. Of The student whose standing is below 2.0, however, may be admitted on pro- bation if after taking the University classification tests such an admission seems warranted. In no case shall a student be admitted whose record is such that he would have been dropped at the University of Kentucky. The University does not disregard at any time or under any conditions tu_ college or university records in order to admit applicants solely on the basis of as their high school records. by A transfer student is allowed not more than half as many advanced credits as he can present quality points. Otherwise, work done at a fully accredited . college or university is recognized credit for credit. Credit earned in an ac- f` credited junior college is limited to a maximum of 32 credits per year. ,8 In order to be classified as fully accredited, a college must be a member rs of a regional accrediting association or it must be on the approved list of the in state university of the state in which it is located. Advanced standing from ng an unaccredited college may be obtained at the University only by special he subject examinations. ds Out-of-State Students. A non-resident who applies for admission with its advanced standing must in all cases have maintained a standing of 2.0 (C aver- $0 age) in all previous college work. In other respects, the requirements and con- kw ditions of transfer are the same as for Kentucky students. \Vritten applications for admission with advanced standing should be submitted to the Registrars Office on forms furnished by that office. Admission as a Special Student id A graduate of another university or college may enter the University as C' a special student. Any other person 1nay be admitted as a special student pro- 3 vided he is fully prepared to do the work desired and provided he is at least k> twenty-one years of age. E Before a special student can become a candidate for a degree he must d have his status changed to that of a regular student. This may be done in one t of two ways: 1, 1. Satisfying the entrance requirements for admission to the freshman class. j,
