Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the University of Kentucky, September 23, 1936.
The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky met in
President McVey's office at the University September 23, 1936, at
10:30 a.m., this being the regular September meeting. The members
of the Board present were Governor A. B. Chandler, Richard C.
Stoll, James Park, LotUs Hillenmeyer, R. Miller Holland, J. B. An-
drews, John Cooper, G. C. Wells and D.. D. Stewart, this being the
latter's first attendance after recent appointment. President
F. L. MocVey and Secretary D. H. Peak were present.
1. Minutes Approved.
The minutes of the following meetings were approved as pub-
lished: Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees, June 4, 1936;
Executive Committee, June 16, 1936; Executive Committee, July 23,.
1936.
2. President's Report.
The President made his regular quarterly report which was or-
dered to be recorded in the Minutes. The report is in words and
figures as follows:
Quarterly Report of the President
September 22, 1936
As has been the custom for a number of years past, I am mak-
ing a statement covering some of the activities of the University
of Kentucky during the last quarter. Necessarily, this state-
ment is brief in view of the amount of' business before the Board.
I have to report that the registration of students on Septem-
ber 19 is given by the Registrar's office as 3227, an increase of
252 over last year, It is expected that the registration will
pass the 3400 mark, which will make it the highest ever attained
in the University in any semester. In 1931-32 the registration
reached 3232. Writing this report at a later date than the meet-
ing I am able to say the registration has gone beyond the figure
of 3400.
The increase in the number of students brings additional
responsibilities upon the University in the way of providing in-
struction, equipment and materials, Effective teaching necessi-
tates fairly small classes and this increase in the number of
students will require additions to the staff in the near future,
It iw probable that one of the factors in this increase in
numbers, other than the betterment in economic conditions, may be
the aid given to students thru the agency of the National Youth
Administration. The University is allowed a quota of approxi-
mately 550 men and women and about 874,000 to aid students during
the coming year. Another point of interest may be found in the
fact that today there are 40 states represented in the student
body of the University, and all but three counties of this state
are represented, and five foreign countries are likewise represent-
ed in the student body.
The construction of buildings under the program set up last
year thru the agency of the grant made by the federal government
and the sale of bonds by the University, has made considerable
progress. I am able to report that the heating plant lines have
been completed and that the foundations for the building itself
are nearly finished. It is possible that this plant may be ready
for operation in February.
The south Engineering Building is about 60% completed and
the east Engineering Building is about 50% completed. These
buildings will be brought under roof about the middle of November,
and it is expected that they will be completed by January.
The plans for the Law School Building and the Student Union
Building are about completed and the plans and specifications
should be ready for advertising in December. The construction
of these buildings has not been stressed due to the fact that ap-
plication has been made to the federal government for a grant to
match the funds which the University secured thru the sale of
bonds, If an additional grant of $327,000 can be wecured from
the federal government, it will be possible to carry out the full
program which the University had in mind when it began this work
more than a year ago. The present construction of a central
heating plant and Engineering buildings will amount to $366,500.
Of this sum $165,000 comes from the federal grant. If an addi-
tional federal grant of $165,000 be secured, the University then
will be able to erect the Law Building, the Student Union Build-
ing and the West Engineering building amounting to 8366,000,
which consists of $201,000 in bonds and the rest of the federal
grant, This will leave $200,000 of the bonds money, whichif a
third grant can be secured from the federal government, will make
it possible to carry out the original program. Progress in carry-
ing out this program has been delayed pending the action of the
government on the application recently made by the University.
It is the belief of Dean Graham that our chances of prompt and
favorable action will be considerably increased by our waiting
on the action of the government.
From time to time I have brought to the attention of the Board
of Trustees the problem of out-of-state travel. The amount of
money involved in the applications made from time to time is not
large, but the representation of the University at meetings is
greatly hampered by inability to supply expense for such travel.
2.
3.
I am bringing this matter to the attention of the Board, so they
may advise me as to what should be done to correct the situation.
The office of the Business Agent has not completed the fi-
nancial statement for the year closing June 30, 1936. That
statement will be ready the latter part of the month. I may
say, however, that the University has lived entirely within its
income and has been able to pay all outstanding bills at the close
of the year. The new re-organization bill has required a great
deal of adjustment of business procedure, and in that respect the
Business Agent has been able to secure agreement and a procedure
that is satisfactory to the State Finance Officer and to the Uni-
versity. A few small matters remain to be adjusted, but these
undoubtedly will be taken care of in the near future. I look
back on the past year with a good deal of satisfaction, and I
look forward to a valuable and effective year for 1936-37.
3. Financial Report.

nances for July and August, 1936:

4. Requisition Committee Report.
a. The Requisition Committee filed written report of its
action each week from July 24, 1936, to September 9, 1936, inclu-
sive. The report shows that orders had been made by the Busi-
ness Office on the authority of the Requisition Committee in the
manner prescribed by the Board of Trustees and state laws, run-
ning from No. 205 to No. 1247. The report was examined., and on
motion and second the orders named therein were ratified and ap-
proved and payments on said orders were authorized and approved.
b. Budget Additions.
Department of Physics, $600.00; Department of Anatomy and
Physiology, supplies, $700.00; Department of Bacteriology, student
help, $300.00; Department of Zoology, supplies, $120.00; assist-
ants, $200.00.
5. Charged Off Fees Collected.
The following paragraph omitted from Sec. 9, Minutes of
July 23, 1936, was ordered inserted in the Minutes of this date:
"A total of $1480.53 of uncollected fees ordered
charged off at the meeting of the Executive Committee
of June 27, 1935, have been collected to this date,
July 23, 1936."
6. State Financial Control.
a. Statement by Business Agent:
The new state financial control system seems to cover such
detail in purchasing and accounting that when finally set up It
will present a complete picture of state finances. However, the
accounting by the Division of Accounts and Control is not
5.
designed to take care of the accounting that is necessary in Uni-
versity management. After about three months the staff of the
Business Office has become fairly familiar with the details of
the new system. These details have largely increased the work
in the Business Office. Eventually an additional clerk may be
needed. At present, this is being taken care of by student as-
sistants. The members of the State departments have shown me
every courtesy,and cooperation has been fine.
The law governing purchases (Section 5, page 12, Reorganiza-
tion Act) states that the Division of Purchases may delegate the
purchase of supplies. The most difficult problem in purchasing
is the purchase of food for the dining halls. Request might
be made of the Division of Purchases to delegate the privilege
of food purchases to the University.
b. Revolving Fund:
The State Department of Finance considers the University
including all divisions thereof as one financial unit. Each unit
is allowed a petty cash fund of $5,OOO.OO. After the Acts of
1934 went into effect, the Board of Trustees asked that the Uni-
versity be divided into three financial units; the College, the
Experiment Station and the Extension Division. However, this
request was not approved by the State Department of Finance and
the University was granted only $5,000.00 as a petty cash fund.
At times this is not sufficient to take care of petty cash
expenditures where the payment of petty cash vouchers is for some
reason delayed. Our weekly labor payrolls average about $2,000.OQ
It is quite necessary that the laborers be paid each week and, in
event the petty cash fund is not available for that purpose, it
is necessary to advance payment from other funds. Usually the
Sundry Ledger funds balance is sufficient to take care of the
situation.
c. On motion, duly seconded and passed, President McVey was
directed to take up, with the proper state officials, the question
raised in the foregoing subsections a and b.
7. Bankhead-Jones Fund.
The President reported that the state treasurer had received
from the Federal Government $30, 658.17, appropriation under the
Bankhead-Jones Act for the University of Kentucky and the Kentucky
Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. This appro-
priation is to be used In the same way as the Morrill-Nelson Appro-
priation, and the amount received in year 1935-1936 was distrib-
uted by the state auditor in the same ratio (.855 per cent to Uni-
versity and .145 per cent to colored normal school) as the Mor-
rill-Nelson Appropriation of $50,000.00 has been distributed for
many years. The distribution of the Morrill-Nelson Appropria-
tion was made on the basis of the ratio of white to colored popu-
lation, which ratio is continually bhanging, while no change has
6.
bedn made in the percentage of distribution.
All facts being duly considered, the Board decided to defer
action on question of change of percentage of distribution on
both the Morrill-Nelson Appropriation and the Bankhead-Jones Ap-
propriation.
8. Bills Approved.
The following bills were approved and ordered put in line for
payment:
Giarantee Trust Company of New York, caring for securities
under contract with First National Bank and Trust Company of Lex-
ington, Kentucky, for six months ending September 7, 1936, $12.50.
C. Calvert Early, Maysville, Ky., fire or windstorm insur-
ance premium on policy of $25,000.00 on Breckinridge Hall, placed
by State Division of Insurance, $20.50.
D. State Warrants Called.
Report by Custodians of Securities:
The State Treasurer has called the following warrants held
by the University:
Warrant D 3247 - $2,141.90 - Called August 17,
1936, Waddy Fund.
Warrant E 1077 - $1,873.48 - Called September
21, 1936, Western Kentucky Substation Fund,
10. Association of Governing Boards.
President McVey stated that the Association of Governing
Boards of State Universities and Allied Institutions will hold a
meeting at the University of Kentucky on November 12, 13 and 14,
1936, He urged the members of the Board of Trustees to be pres-
ent, this being their association. He further suggested that a
committee of the Board of Trustees be appointed to act with a
committee of the Uhiversity staff to arrange for entertainment
of the visiting members of the Association.
On motion, duly passed, the following committee from the
Board of Trustees waw named: James Park, chairman; Louis Hillen-
meyer, Judge R. C. Stoll and Dr. George Wilson. The President,
being authorized to appoint a committee from the University staff,
named the following: W. S. Taylor, chairman; J. S. Shropshire,
E. G. Sulzer, m. J. Crutcher and Sarah G. Blanding.

11. War Orphan Scholarships.
A question having been raised by friends of Dorse Duff, who
has been granted a War Orphan Scholarship for the first semester
by the State Department of Education, as to payment of room rent
and fees to the University; the Business Agent stated that he had
referred it to the Director of Finance, State Department of Educa-
tion.
The following letter received in answer to the Business
Agent's inquiry was ordered inserted in the Minutes, and no other
action was taken:
This is to advise that there is no legal basis on which
payment can be made to the University of Kentucky for
room rent for the above captioned person unless he is
actually domiciled on the University campus. In case
the University would assume financial responsibility
for his off-campus room rent, then this Division would
be .perfectly willing to way the University the entire
*$75. Unless an arrangement of this kind can be made,
we shall be forced by the limits of the law to deduct
the amount of his room rent from the semester payment.

ca Letter from Hasp to Fowler.
Mr. Earl Fowler
Lexington, Kentucky
Dear Earl: In re: Gordon B. Finley vs. James K. Pat-
terwonts Executor.
With reference the suit filed by you on behalf of
Gordon B. Finley against the Security Trust Company,
Executor of the estate of James K. Patterson, deceased,
being Action No. 20617 now pending in the Fayette Cir-
cuit Court, this is to advise you that subject to a
waiver being obtained from the University of Kentucky
approving the settlement which we have arrived at in
connection with the above, as attorney on behalf of
the Executor I am willing to recommend that the claim
of Mr. Finley arising out of the award of the Patter-
son Literary Society scholarship for the school year
1929-30 be recognized and that this litigation be
settled upon the basis of his being paid $200.00 in
full settlement of all of his claims on account of
such award and including the dismissal of the pending
litigation settled at plaintiff's costs.
The University of Kentucky is the residuary lega-
tee under President Patterson's will and before the
proposed settlement can take effect it will be necessa-
ry to secure the consent and approval of the University
to same. I understand that you will take up with Dr.
McVey the matter of such waiver, advising him of the
proposed settlement of the matter.

16. P. W. A. Construction, College Docket, A 1013.
President McVey announced that contract bids for furnishing
and installing certain equipment in the boiler house of the Cen-
tral Heating Plant, were due to be received and publicly opened
in his office at 11:00 a.m., September 22, in accord with adver-
tisements therefor under date of September 8 and that he suggest-
ed that this be done in the presence of the Board of Trustees.
Therefore, the regular business of the meeting was suspended and
all the contract bids received and filed were duly opened by the
chairman, read and tabulated in the presence af the Board of Trus-
tees, President McVey, Mr. Sager, State Director of P. W. A, , Mr.
Sinton, P. W. A. Engineer, Dean Graham, Perry West, the bidders
and others involved. The bids submitted were for items of equip-
ment, as follows:
Contract No. 9 Induced Draft and Dust Collecting
Apparatus for Boilers Nos. 1 and 2
Contract No. 10.. Induced Draft and Dust Collecting Apparatus
for Boiler No.. 3.
Contract No. 11. Feed Water Heater
Contract No. 12. Pumps
Contract No. 13, Tanks.
After the reading and tabulating of the bids the chairman an-
nounced that they would be studied and the results announced with-
in a few days.
Dean Graham. accompanied by Mr. Sager and Perry West, later
appeared before the Board and stated: - That a lack of time pre-
cluded the making of a written report and recommendations concern-
ing any or all of the bids Just opened; but in order to enable
the engineers to complete promptly the final shop drawings for the
