              MfUTUS OF BOARD OF    TRUSTEES,

              CALLED MESTIN  DECmM-2   10, 1917.




         The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky met
 in a called session in the Trustees' room at noon with the follow-
 ing present: V. T. Harris, H. I. Froman, J. M. Elliston, Tibbis
 Carpenter, R. C. Stoll, Dr. James K. Patterson, R. G. Gordon, Frank
 Battaile, Z. Irvine Lyle, P. P. Johnston Tr., Dr. Samuel B. Marks
 and President F. L. McVey.

         In the absence of Governor Stanley R. C. Stoll was elected
 chairman and presided. On account of the urgency of the business
 to be brought before the Board and the severity of the weather which
 prevented certain members from reaching the city on time, Bar. Harris
 moved that those present resolve themselves into a committee of the
 whole to pass upon business brought before the body and report the
 seae to a subsequent meeting of the Board of Trustees for final
 ratification. Seconded by Rr. Elliston this notion was adopted and
 the members present went into a committee of the whole.

         The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.

         Reading of the minutes of the Executive Committee was dis-
pensed with.   The following report by President Ivicvey was then sub-
mitted:

                                       December 3, 1917.


     To the Board of Trustees,
          University of Kentucky.

     Gentlemen:

          I am making a brief report to you about the activities of
     the President's office since my assumption of the position in
     September.

          I have met with the Executive Committee four times, have
     held general sessions of the Faculty the same number of times,
     have been in conference with the University Council three times.
     In addition to that, I have attended a meeting of the Vocational
     Education Board at Frankfort and held a general conference with
     representatives of the Normal Schools in regard to the course
     of study to be worked out under the Smith-Hughes Bill; have also
     held a conference with the Advisory Board of Patterson Hall. I
     have been in conference with the Governor regarding University
     matters twice, and have met numerous committees on various matters
     relating to the welfare of the University.
