some concern, however, over the possibility that the state income tax would be
repealed, thus decreasing the amount of money that would be available to the
University. He announced that the Federal Housing Administration had approved
the University's application for 200 pro-fabricated houses and that there was
a possibility that another hundred might be obtained. These houses are to be

The Registrar asked for guidance frOm the University Faculty in respect

to the admission of students with advanced standings whose records are such
that they would have been dropped had they been attending the University. Under
the regulations of the Faculty such students were not to be admitted. The
Faculty voted that the Registrar's Office might exercise seme option in the
5“ case of a veteran who faces such a problem, more particularly when a three-

=’ temfiveayeareperiod has intervened between the making of the unsatisfactory
record and his application for admission.

The following request frOm Chi Delta Phi, Literary Recognition Society
for Women, was presented to the Faculty.

, ' Chi Delta Phi, women's literary honorary, with your consent would like
to sponsor and publish a magazine for the University of Kentucky campus.
flu. Its purpOSe is tweefold; to promote a more unified and active spirit

among the students toward the University, and to afford a field for
”encouragement and improvement on the part of all students interested in
creative writing. Although the honorary will Sponsor this publication,
all students and faculty members will be encouraged to participate.

the
The magazine will contain fortyaeight pages, approsimately 9 by 12,

r printed on slick paper. It will also contain cuts and drawings con-

efll' tributed as supplements. It will be financed by commercial ad soli—
‘ citation and circulation. The price per magazine will not exceed

25 cents.

Material in such a publication will consist of poetry, short stories,

essays, featured personalities, explanatory features on campus activi-

ties, and other current feature material. It will be the policy of the

magazine that every article be constructive and informative, rather than
mflfl destructively critical.

Miss Jane Haselden, assistant dean of women, is faculty sponsor of
Chi Delta Phi.

 

 

It will be the honest endeavor of each member of Chi Delta Phi to put
forth every effort in order to make possible the attainment of the pur”
poses mentioned above.

”a - _, We sincerely hope that our plan will meet with your approval.

Respectfully yours,

CHI DELTA PHI

After some discussion the Faculty voted to rQQuest the President to appoint

a committee to investigate this reQuest and to report back to the Faculty.
The Faculty was particularly concerned about the difficulties that might arise
in financing the requested publication. The Rules Committee was subsequently
assigned this responsibility.

 

A brief evaluation was made of the work of the University Committee on
Posthar Planning by its chairman. The request of the COmmittee that it be
discharged was then transmitted to the Faculty. On motion duly made and m
seconded, the Committee was discharged. President Donovan thanked the 7
Committee for the service it had rendered the University. The chairman also
transmitted to the Faculty the following recommendations frOm the Committee
on PosteWar Planning: "Whereas this Cemmittee has before it numerous problems
of a long range nature which it feels are not proper to the problems of a
PostuWar Planning Committee, we recommend that the University Faculty consider
the possibility of a standing committee whose purpose it shall be to study
such problems and to suggest to the Faculty additional policies in the light of
such study." Action on this recommendation was deferred until the next meeting
of the Faculty.

The following resolution was read to the Faculty be Dr. Hobart Ryland.

”Professor Henry Bert Holmes, who passed away on October Blst has been

here as Instructor in Spanish. He was promoted to Assistant Professor

in 1929.

Dr. Holmes was born in Ewington, Illinois the seventh of November, 1875. m
He was a student in Central Normal College from 1896 to 1901 where he took
A. B. and B. 3. degrees. In 1902 he was given a position teaching Englifl
in the newly formed shcools in the Philippines. He taught for two years
and when he returned, he married Bertha Patton and took a position as
Principal of the high school in Horse Cave, Kentucky. He then became
Principal of the Oblong High School in Illinois where he stayed from
1906 to 1907. He taught Spanish in the high schools in Shelbyville

and Anderson, Indiana from 1916 to 1922. During that time he took a
second B. A. degree from the University of Indiana and the M. A. degree
from the University of Wisconsin. In 1922 he went to the University

of Indiana as instructor in Spanish and stayed there until his call to:
the University of Kentucky in 1924. He took his Ph. D. degree at the
University of Wisconsin in 1935.

 

Professor Holmes liked to teach. He might Have been a rich man if he 5"
had devoted himself to Real Estate transactions° as he showed a remarks
able gift for buying and selling property. He chose, however, the less

renumerative, but more interesting career as a teacher. His classes were
always popular with the students and as he was a keen student of grammar

he was able to give them much which was to be of value to them in their
University life. He was the oceauthor of an important Spanish Grammar
published by the American Book Company.

Professor Holmes was a good husbned, a loving father to his one daughter,
Rebecca, a beloved member of the cowmunity, and an active member of the
Centenary Methodist Church. His passing has been a sad blow to his

many friends here in Lexington and in the many places in which he has
lived.
