      Report of Committee on death of YMr. M:arcum.


      Whereas, the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Kentucky have learned of the untimely
death, by violence, of Hon. J. B. Yarcum, a member of this
Board:

      Therefore, Resolved: That we deplore the existence
in any part of this Commonwealth of a social condition which
made possible the death of any citizen by assassination:

      That we deplore personally and officially the great
loss which the Commonwealth has sustained in his death: that
we deplore the loss which this Board and the College, whose
affairs are placed under its administration and control,
has sustained by his death, and desire to place on record
our high estimate of his patroitism as a citizen, his worth
as a man, his disinterested devotion to the service of the
College, his intelligent appreciation of its work and its
interests, his unselfish and impartial consideration of
subjects relating to its welfare, his wisdom in counsel, and
his promptitude in action. His memory will be held In
affectionate remembrance by his associates on this
Board:

      That we extend to his bereaved family our sincerest
sympathy and condolence, md direct the Secretary to transmit
in suitable form to his widow, a copy of these Resolutions;
and finally we express the fervent hope that the deep
impression made upon the public mind by this appalling
homicide may not only in his late home, but throughout
the whole Commonwealth be instrumental in stimulating a
healthy sentiment for the enforcement of law and order;




 








MINUTES OF THE BOAFD OF TRUSTEESJune 3rd, 1903 - page 208



that all citizens in every part of our Commonwealth may be
amply protected in, and may enjoy in peace and security
all their rights of life, liberty and property.


      Resolution Adopted.

      Mr. Stoll: I now move the adoption of these Resolutions,
and I further move that a copy of these Resolutions be en-
grossed and signed by every member of the Board of Trustees,
and sent to the widow of Mr. Marcum; and I further move that
a copy of these Resolutions be given to the papers in Lexington,
The Courier Journal, the Jackson Newspapers, and that the
adoption of these Resolutions be by a standing vote. Said
motion was seconded by Judge Barker, aid put upon its passage
by a rising vote, and was carried unanimously.

      At this point Judge Barker announced that he had re-
ceived a communication from Judge W. B. Bradburn, in which he

MINITES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,June 3, 1903 - page 209



     Your committee on the President's Report would respect-
fully, represent that, we have considered the matter therein
and select therefrom the following suggestions, namely:

the Board by the President to take in charge the matter of
securing appropriations from the next legislature.

the College.


      (3) That Athletics and amusements among the students
have additional attention and regulation.


      (4) That a suitable person be appointed to arrange
and conduct Farmers' Institutes during the winter months.


      (5) We do not deem it advisable to make any suggestions
relative to these matters but report them to the Board for
action.

College.

      Thereupon the Committee on Station Building made its
report through Prof. Scovell, which is as follows:



      Report on Experiment Station Bldg.,

      The Committee appointed on building a mew Experiment
Station begs leave to report as follows:


      After a thorough discussion of the matter, the
Committee decided to ask Profs. Anderson and Faig to draw up
plans and specifications for a building; the building to conform
to floor plans suggested by the Director of the Station, and
be of colonial style. The Committee selected Prof s.
Anderson and Faig.



      (1) Because the Architects of town were quite busy
and it was afraid that if any one of them were selected
they could not give the building constant personal supervi-
sion while being constructed.


      (2) Because the Committee desired several plans
drawn, if necessary, until it was entirely satisfied with
a plan, and though Profs. Anderson and Faig agreed to do
without any extra charge.


      After the first design by crofs. Anderson and Faig,
the plans were carefully gone over and corrections made
and then the Committee asked them to draw new plans in
accordance with such suggestions.   This was done and we now
believe we have a building not only unique in design, but
admirably fitted for the use for which it is to be put.




 








MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESJmne 3, 1903 - page 217-218



     The plans accepted provided for a building to cost
$20000.00 exclusive of plumbing, heating and electric
wiring.



      As soon as the plans were accepted and the specifications
drawn, the Comnittee advertised for bids, both for the constru-
ction of the entire building and for separate bids for ex-
cavation and masonry, brick work, cut stone, carpenter work,
etc.  Twenty six bids were received.  On opening and examining
the bids, we found we could get the work done cheaper by
accepting separate bids. By doing this the total cost of
the building would be $19,887.00. The following were the
successful bidders:

now excavating for the building and we hope the work on the
foundation commence next week.

      Special Committee with reference to Domestic Science.

      By Colonel Nelson.

      I move that the communication made by the ladies to
this Board on the subject of creating a Department of
Domestic Science, with a woman dean at the head of it, be
referred to a special Committee of three. Said motion was
seconded, put upon its passage and carried.


      The Chairman thereupon appointed on said Committee,
the following:  Judge Barker, Chairman, Messrs. Carpenter
and Nelson.


      Military Committee Report.

      Thereupon the Military Committee made its report through
its Chairman, Mr. Stoll, as follows: The Military Commnittee
would report that the discipline on the college grounds
this year has been all that could be expected. The Commandant
seems to have the confidence of the students, and has, the
Committee believes, the students and the discipline of
the College well in hand. We all know that when he was ap-
pointed Commandant there was some laxity in the discipline
of the College, and while perhaps the discipline is not all
it should be, yet we feel that after a little time the
discipline of the College will be all that this Board or
any Board could expect that discipline to be, by reason of
the confidence that the cadets have in this Commandant.
As a part of this Report I want to read and incorporate
in the Report a Report made by the Commandant to the
President of the College. Said report is as follows:


      The President of the A. & M. College of Ky.
                              Lexington, Ky.

          Capt. Byroade's Report.

Sir:;

      In compliance with the regulations of the College,
I have the honor to submit the following report on the
Military department.

      As soon after the opening of College as possible, I
organized a cadet corps into five companies of infantry,
one battery of artillery, a signal corp detachment 9 a
hospital corps attachment, and a squad of boys too small
for the companies.




 







MINTUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,June 3, 1903 - page 219-220



      The officers (commissioned) were appointed from the
Junior 0lass exclusively, the sergeants from the Junior and
Sophomore and a few from the Freshman class. They were given
to understand that these appointments placed them in the
regular line for promotion and that future promotion
depended entirely upon their work in the subordinate
positions The privates were offered every opportunity for
advancement,


      During the following Spring the drill was conducted
on the College campus, the drill hall being used during
inclement weather. A number of short talks and lectures
were given at intervals to the commissioned officers on
their duties and other military subjects.


      May the 21st, the corps, 240 strong, left the College
for an encampment at Ashland, Ky. remaining in camp until
May the 31st.


      The cadet corps conducted itself with the dignity and
discipline usually found only amongst troops of far greater
age, and experience. The ceremonies were conducted at pre-
scribed hours and were witnessed by large numbers of the
citizens of Ashland and the surroihnding country.  Guard -
mounting each morning at 9 Otclock never failed to bring 300
or 400 people, while the daily dress parade at 6 P. M. was
attended by, at least, 1000 people daily and on some days
there were fully 2000 to 2500. We gave two sham battles
while in camp, one at Cliffside Park which was witnessed by
5100 people by actual count, a d the other near Central
Park which was witnessed by a crowd estimated to be at least
12000 people. These people came from the territory surround-
ing Ashland to a distance of 30 to 40 miles, and from three
different states, Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio. I
heard none but complimentary remarks on the general
appearance and good behavior of the cadets. The cadets
enjoyed the encampment to the fullest extent; besides
learning some of the most important duties of a soldier,
i. e. guard, duty and the care of their healthin
camp.




 








MINUTES OF THE BOPAED OF TRUSTEES,June 3, 1903 - page 221- 222



      I would recommend that an encampment be made a
permanent feature of the college year and that an appropri-
ation be made to help defray the expenses. I believe with
an appropriation of $500.00 I could insure the corps and
encampment at the world's Fair at St. Louis, Mo., next
year. The recent encampment did not cost the College one
cent and cost each student but $3.50 for all expenses, or
20 per cent less than the regular one way fare from Lexington
to Ashland. The students gave $805, the citizens of Ashland
$400 and the Street R. R. Co. 110 or $1315 in all. The
expenses were $1360 and I paid the difference $45.00 out
of my private funds.


      I feel that I would not be doing my duty were I to
close this report without speaking of the efficient and
valuable service rendered me by the officers of the corps.
During the entire session we have not had a single dissension
and they never fail to respond to my slightest wish or
request. To them, is due, to a great extent the good
order that has prevailed in both dormitory buildings
throughout the entire session. The dormitories were
inspected nightly by the Cadet officer of the day, who in-
spected each room, and by myself. My inspection consisting
of a visit to a few rooms only in different parts of the
building and never at any stated time in the evening.


      The uniform of gray blouse and trousers for all
cadets below the grade of 2nd. Lieut. with blue caps and
the blue uniforms for the commissioned officers is very
satisfactory, but I would recommend that white duck
trousers (cost about 95 cents to $1.00) and white gloves
(cost 20 cents) be prescribed and a dark blue cadet over-
coat be authorized. The fine appearance made by the cadets
on parade was due, to a great extent, to the white duck
trousers and white gloves.




 







MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESJune 3, l1O3 - page 222



      The members of the present Senior class have been
excused from military duties and believing it has proven
a good rule as most of the Seniors are very busy during
the third term on thesis work just when they could be of
most assistance to the corps. I would recommend that the
rule be continued.


      In closing I wish to request that the Commandant's
Cottage be given a thorough overhauling as   in its present
condition its almost unfit for a habitation. i believe
an expenditure of $250 or $300 would put it in pretty fair
shape although in a very short time it will be again in
its present condition on account of the age of the
building.

                          Very respectfully,


                             George A. Byroade

                             Commandant of Cadets.




 








MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESJune 3, 1903 - page 223



     Mr. Stoll thereupon made the following motion:

     With reference to Capt. Byroade's Report.

     I move you that the parts of this report made by Capt.
Byroade which recommends an appropriation for an encampment
be referred to the Committee on Appropriations; that the
matter of the payment of $45 by Capt. Byroade be referred
to the Executive Committee; and that the matter of fixing
the Commandant's house be referred to the Executive Committee
with power to act; and with these exceptions, I move that
the report be adopted.


      Said motion was seconded by Judge Barker, put upon
its passage and carried.



      Prof. Roark appears before the Board.

      At this point Prof. Roark was called before the Board
and made a statement with reference to the work of his
department, especially with reference to the proposed
work of the Summer School; the needs of his department;
its relative participation in the funds of the College;
and the matter of the acceptance in the College by other
professors of the work done by students in the Normal
Department. After considerable discussion along the
above lines, Prof. Roark withdrew.



      Thereupon Judge Barker made the following motion.

      Normal Dept.

      I move that the whole subject of the process by which
students from the Normal Department are entered into the
Freshman courses in the college curriculum be referred
to the Faculty of the College, with instructions so to
adjust the terms of admission that ample credit shall
be given to students in the Normal Department for all the
work done in it. Said motion was seconded by Mr. Stoll,
put upon its passage and carried.

      At this point upon request the Secretary read the
Report of Prof. Mathews on the improvement of the grounds.
Said report is as follows:


      To the President and Board of Trustees of the Kentucky
State College.
                         Prof. Mathews communication.
Gentlemen: -

      I submit the following report incident to the expendi-
ture under my direction of the appropriation of $100.00
for improvement of the College grounds, at the meeting
of your body in December last.


      A large part of the time and labor at my disposal
has been given in cooperation with the business agent of
the College, to making the much needed improvement's in
removing trees, grading, road and walk construction, and
sodding about the Gymnasium building, so that no very
extensive improvement have been commenced elsewhere upon
the grounds.


      A considerable number of shrubs and trees haves
however, been set in nursery rooms for fall planting; a
row of Norway Maiies has been planted along the Limestone
Street front of the College grounds, Xd several dozen
plants of the climbing vine (Ampelopsis) have been set
