     D. Veterans Hospitals--Surplus Land.

     President Donovan reported to the Executive Committee that Mr. J. B. Wil -
liams, Director, State Agency for Property Utilization, Department of Education,
Frankfort, Kentucky, has informed the University that 117. 5 acres of land adja-
cent to the United States Veterans Hospital has been declared surplus to the needs
of that hospital and the Veterans Administration.  He advised the Executive Com-
mittee that the Experiment Station continues to be in need of additional land to
conduct its research and experiment station work and recommended that the Uni-
versity be authorized to make application to the appropriate federal agency for
transfer of real property and related personal property applicable to the acreage
referred to above.

     President Donovan further advised that the Departments of Agronomy and
Animal Husbandry are in urgent need of additional land and that the poultry ex-
perimentation work is being handicapped for lack of adequate land on which to con-
duct its teaching and research work. He stated that the 117. 5 acres would be
adequate for a site for the expansion and furtherance of the teaching and experi-
mental work in poultry and at the same time afford additional land for field work
in Agronomy and Animal Husbandry.

     Members of the Executive Committee discussed the recommendation at
some length and upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, Pres-
ident H. L. Donovan was authorized on behalf of the University of Kentucky to
make application to the appropriate federal agency for transfer of 117. 5 acres;
and he was further authorized to advise the appropriate federal authorities of the
University' s being willing and able to furnish the necessary funds for adminis-
trative expenses incident to the transfer and for any other expenses necessary to
meet reservations referred to in information received from the State Department
of Education, such as removing a building and the erection of a chain-link fence.

     President Donovan requested the Secretary to leave the room.  Mr. Harper
Gatton took the minutes and reported to Mr. Peterson that, upon the recommenda-
tion of President Donovan, the house and lot at 338 Clifton Avenue were authorized
purchased by the University.  The lot is 50 feet wide, 3021 feet deep and has a
five-room house with back porch, full bath, small basement. It has a one-car
garage and a small utility building in the rear. The Committee was advised that
the adjoining lot had been purchased by Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

     Upon motion duly made by Mr. Louis Cox, seconded by Dr. Ralph J. Angel-
lucci and unanimously carried, the property at 338 Clifton Avenue was authorized
purchased for the sum of $14, 000. 00 from MDr. and Mrs. Frank D. Peterson.

     F. Dr. Angelucci Made Director of Kentucky Research Foundation.

     President Donovan advised that Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain, president of the
Kentucky Research Foundation, had reported that, owing to the death of Mr. Guy
A. Huguelet, there is a vacancy in the membership of the Board of Directors of
the Kentucky Research Foundation.  This board has on it three representatives
of the University Board of Trustees. President Donovan recommended that the
Executive Committee nominate to the Foundation a person to replace Mr. Hugue-
let on the Board of Directors,

     Members of the Executive Committee discussed the appointment, and upon
motion duly made, seconded and carried, Dr. Ralph J. Angelucci was appointed
to membership on the Board of Directors of the Kentucky Research Foundation.


     G. Budget Chaaes.

     President Donovan submitted a revised budget for auxiliary campus police,
made necessary through new automobile parking regulations.  He suggested that
the sum of $3, 600. 00 be appropriated from Automobile Parking Account Fund
5014, to permit the appointment of parking lot attendants at Rose Street parking
lot and Scott Street parking lot.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the revised budget was
authorized, and the Comptroller was directed to make the necessary budget ad-
justments.



     H. Request of Dairy Industry and Farm Bureau Representatives.

     President Donovan reported that a delegation representing the dairy industry
and the board of directors of the Farm Bureau had conferred with him and requested
additional money spent on the Dairy Center and on the Experiment Station in gen-
eral. He advised the Committee that the University was without funds to increase
appropriations now being allocated to the Dairy Center and being spent on the gen-
eral work of the Experiment Station.  He so advised the representatives and felt
that the members of the Executive Committee should know of the pressure being
brought upon the University for additional support on behalf of these activities.
He reported that the attitude of the representatives of these groups towards the
University was good and that he hoped they would be able to help in securing the
budget request from the 1956 General Assembly.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report of the President
was received and ordered made of record.



     I. Building Needs of the University.

     Members of the Executive Committee and President Donovan, discussed at
some length the lack of educational facilities at the University and the need for
additional housing  accommodations for the impending increase in enrollment

seconded and carried, President Donovan and Mr. Peterson were requested to
submit to the next meeting of the Board a formalized program.



     J. Right-of-Way Deed to Texas Land.

     President Donovan submitted a request from the State of Texas for right-
of -way deed in Young County along the property owned by the University and re-
ferred to as T. E. & L. Company Survey 2388, abstract 1105.  He explained
that the University had come into possession of approximately 316 acres of land
in Young County near Graharn, Texas, through the will of Miss Annie Dillard.
Mr. Peterson thought that the construction of a state highway along the property
would increase the value and saw no reason why the right-of-way deed should not
be granted.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the right-of-way deed was
approved and authorized executed by R. P. Hobson, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, and attested by the Secretary.



     K. Foreign Student Scholarships.

man of the Committee on Foreign Students, recommending that free-fee scholar-
ships be awarded to Mr. Svi Rin from Israel, a major in Ancient Languages, and
Miss Gwenllian K. Morris from Wales, a major in Home Economics, for the
school year 1955-56.

     The President concurred in the recommendation of Doctor Bigge.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, free-fee scholarships were
authorized awarded to Mr. Rin and Miss Morris.



     L. Patterson Will Report.

     President Donovan presented a report of the Security Trust Company, trustee
under the will of James K. Patterson, for the fiscal period ended September 27,
1.955. The report lists principal account, investments held, and financial, transac-
tions for the period covered. The carrying value of investments of the estate is
$46o,343. 53. The files indicate that the estate in September, 1922, was valued
at $174, 789. 18. It is evident that the estate received its greatest increase in
value during recent years, and during the last twelve months showed an apprecia-
tion of $50,411. 59,



     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report was authorized
received and filed.

the College of Commerce has approved, and President Donovan recommends that
Mr. Christian be permitted to serve as a statistical consultant to the Division of
Planning of the State Highway Department.  The time required for the discharge
of his duties in this capacity would be approximately eight hours a week, with
income of $80 to $90 a month, and would not conflict with the regular duties of
Mr. Christian as an instructor in the College of Commerce.  The period of em-
ployment would be during the academic year of 1955-56.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Committee concurred
in the recommendation of the President.



     N. Resolution on the Death of J. R. Johnson.

     President Donovan recalled that James Richard Johnson, professor on
change-of-work status in Applied Mechanics, passed away on September 14, 1955.
He read the following Resolution and recommended that it be adopted.



                         Resolutions on the Death of
                           James Richard Johnson

            James Richard Johnson, Professor Emeritus of Applied Me-
     chanics on change-of-work status, University of Kentucky, passed
     away on September 14, 1955.

            Professor Johnson was born at Louisa, Kentucky, and was
     the first candidate to receive a degree in Mechanical Engineering
     from the University of Kentucky, having graduated in 1893. He
     served his alma mater as instructor in mechanical engineering and
     mathematics from 1900 to 1905. After following his profession
     elsewhere, he returned to the University in 1919 as professor of ap-
     plied mechanics. In 1928 he was made head of the department. He
     was placed on the change-of-work status in 1938, having reached the
     age of seventy.

            Although "Colonel Dick", as he was affectionately known to
     those who worked with him in the College of Engineering, has passed,
     his spirit will continue to live in the hearts and minds of those who
     knew him, and his memory will always be cherished.

            As a gentleman of the "old school" and a teacher of unusual
     ability, he left an indelible imprint upon the history of the University
     of Kentucky.



       He was a man of strong mentality, definite convictions, courage
of heart, and a wonderful sense of humor.




 








              His influence in the classroom on the hundreds of students
       with whom he came in contact, will live in their hearts and be a
       source of pride and pleasure down through the years.

              Therefore, because of our high regard and respect for our
       friend and colleague, be it resolved by this Board --

              First: That we extend to his family our expression of sincere
       sympathy and our feeling of loss in his passing.

              Second: That a copy of this resolution be sent to the family
       of James Richard Johnson; also that a copy become a part of the
       minutes of this meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of
       Trustees.



       On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the above Resolution was
adopted.



       0. Injuries.

       President Donovan reported accidents to four employees of the University.


Dee Coyle

       Injury occurred on August 24, 1955, in the Agricultural Engineering building
shop. Mr. Coyle was sharpening a mower blade which slipped in the vise and gashed
his forearm severely.  The Dispensary was closed and he was treated at the Good
Samaritan Hospital emergency room. An invoice has been received from the Good
Samaritan Hospital for $9. 75.  Dean Welch recommends payment.


Mrs. Pearl Graves

       Accident occurred in July at the Student Union Commons.  Mrs. Graves,
a cook at the Commons, was opening a can when the accident occurred, a jagged
piece of the can top cutting the left thumb badly.  The Director of the Commons
took Mrs. Graves to the Emergency Room at the Good Samaritan Hospital where
the thumb was stitched.  The Hospital transmits invoice of $6. 00.  The Director
of the Commons recommends payment.


George E. Jones

       An employee of the Dairy Center.  The accident occurred on June 8, 1955.
A finger was twisted by a leather strap around the neck of a calf.  The animal
suddenly jumped, twisting Mr. Jones' finger and cracking the bone.  Medical at-
tention was given by Dr. Kerns R. Thompson.  Several calls to the doctor were




 





a



required, the total bill rendered for medical service being $25. 00. Dean Welch
recommends payment.


William C. Maxberry, Sr.

       An employee of the Maintenance and Operations Department. The accident
occurred on August 29, 1955, while unloading bedsprings at Keeneland Hall.  The
clamps which held the springs came loose, resulting in a cut over the right eye
which required two or three stitches to close the wound. Dr. John Sprague per-
formed the medical services, rendering a bill for $13. 00. Mr. Farris recommends
payment.

       The injuries to Mr. Dee Coyle, Mrs. Pearl Graves, Mr. George E. Jones
and Mr. William C. Maxberry, Sr., were presented by Mr. Peterson, with the
recommendation that the claims be paid for hospitalization and medical services,
with the understanding that the University does not admit negligence for the acci-
dents and that payment of these claims does not set a precedent as to the action of
the Executive Committee.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Executive Committee
concurred in the recommendations and the invoices were authorized paid, with the
understanding that the University does not admit negligence nor does it set a
precedent by payment of these claims.



       P. Recess for Luncheon.

       The Executive Committee recessed at 12:3 0 p.m. for luncheon which was
served in the Office of the President, and again took up the agenda at 1:15 p. m.



      Q. Gift of Land by Sororities--Columbia Avenue.

      Mr. Peterson reported that six sororities, namely: Kappa Alpha Theta,
Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Kappa Delta, Delta Zeta and Zeta Tau Alpha
had submitted checks to the University aggregating $82, 100. 00 for the purchase
of houses and lots from

      John 0. Barkman and Margaret A. Barkman, 321 Columbia Avenue,

      William M. McGinnis and Hattie Mountjoy McGinnis, 323 Columbia
          Avenue,

      Dewey Lee Manley and Katherine L. Manley, 325 Columbia Avenue,

      Glen D. Thompson and Jean Louise Thompson, 329 Columbia Avenue,

      Sidney M. Marshall, Sophia Merritt and Fannie Bush Merritt, agents
          for Merritt heirs, 331 Columbia Avenue,

deeded to the University of Kentucky.  This area is to be used to locate five or six
sorority houses.  These houses are to be financed and const ructed by the Universi-
ty of Kentucky through the issuance of revenue bonds and are to be leased to five




 








or six of the above-named sorority organizations when completed.  The annual
rental is to be sufficient to pay the insurance premiums, interest on the bonds and
retirement of the bonds as they become due.  The period of amortization is to be
from 40 to 50 years.

       Members of the Executive Committee discussed the gift of the sororities
and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, authorized same accepted.



       R. John T. Gillig Employed as Architect.

       President Donovan stated that the University should recommend an architect
to design, plan and supervise the construction of sorority houses to be built on the
property acquired on Columbia Avenue.  He recommended the employment of John
T. Gillig, with the understanding that Mr. Peterson would negotiate the contract
for fee. It was understood that, since the floor plans of these sorority houses
(small dormitories) are to be similar and the exteriors are to be different, a low-
er fee for architectural services could be worked out.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, John T. Gillig was author-
ized to be employedand recommended to the State Property and Building Com-
mission as architect for the sorority houses to be placed on the land acquired on
Columbia Avenue.



       S. Request for Authorization to Issue Revenue Bonds.

       President Donovan stated that it would be necessary to request the State
Property and Building Commission for authority to issue revenue bonds in suffi-
cient amount to develop the site, design, plan and supervise the construction of
buildings, and pay the cost of erection of six or seven sorority houses and possibly
two fraternity houses.  He stated that these buildings would cost somewhere be-
tween $100,000 and $120, 000 each and recommended that the request be for the
issuance of revenue bonds not to exceed $1,000,000, the period of the bonds to be
fifty years if the government loan agreement is consummated and to be forty years
if revenue bonds are sold to the public without a government loan agreement.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Vice President, Business
Administration, was authorized to request approval of the State Property and Build-
ing Commission for the issuance of revenue bonds aggregating as much as
$1,000,000 for the construction of sorority and fraternity houses (small dormito-
ries) at the University of Kentucky.



       T. Resolution for Sale of Stock.

       Mr. Peterson reported that it was necessary to have a Resolution to accom-
pany the sale of stock transferred to the University or purchased by the University
or transferred to the Kentucky Research Foundation or purchased by the Kentucky
Research Foundation in order to consummate the transactions. He proposed the
following Resolution:




 




10

       Business Administration, Frank D. Peterson; the Treasurer, Frank
       D. Peterson; or any of them be and they are hereby authorized to sell,
       assign and endorse for transfer certificates representing stocks,
       bonds or other securities now registered or hereafter registered in
       the name of this corporation. "

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the above Resolution was
adopted, approved and authorized executed by President H. L. Donovan or Frank
D. Peterson, whenever necessary.
