-priations were insufficient for the purpose of purchasing uni-

                  President's Quarterly Reort

     There are a number of notable matters to be presented to
the Bcard of Trustees in my Quarterly Fepcrt to be mqade at the
April meeting.   These matters jnclude some construction, plans
f~br further coimtruction, the rurchase of land:, the completion
of plans for the campus, landscape gardening, retiring allowances,
courses in Art and Music, and the request for a grant fromte
General Education Board.

     Five years ago Mr. Henry Wendt off-red the University the
complete equipment for a forge shop if le University would erect
the building.   It has been possible by careful financing to
-provide this building at a c6  of about .8P30,000 and the equip-
ment is now being installed.

     Meanwhile, plans e-e being prepared for the creation of a
recitation building,  ao-e pos~si.'e by the use of mceipts from
the inheritance tax.   This building is to be devoted to the
housing of three departnenlits, Mathemratics, Fnenlish and Journal-
isn.   It will cost approximately P'2O00000.  It will relieve the
congestion in the Admi-nistration Failding and the Science Buildir;g.

     The vjoodern building ,.w.hich houses the Departments of Art and
MYusic and the Romany Theatre has been completed at a cost of
827,000.

     The pavillion on the farm has been erented on the foundation
-where the old building s;ood at ~. cost of P35,000.

     In making this report, I am taking the opportunity of in-
cluding in it a table showting the conbtruction of buildings for
the period 1917-1927.

      The purchase of lards e.djo'ni-ng the University has been
undertaken and the holddi!c-s -nc- C;-sed o nsiderab'ly in the last
three monthse   The Frantz prop   ty on ( as.'Iington Avenue has
been purchased, also ton lots bellno'irng to Yessrs. Riley and
wallace on Grahaw. Avenue.

      In the meantinie, 1r. James U. Vhite, of the University of
Illinois, has completed plans for the carmipus and the purchases
Mentioned ..;,i~bove have been made in order cto carry out these
plans.   The campus has been riuchb cot up by roadways and as
building progrezsea. Oan attempt will be -ade to reduce the present
nuamber of roadways.  Considerable progress has been made in
landscape gardening and the carpus looks better now than it has
at any time in its history.

     For some time the matter of retiring allowances has been
discussed at the meetings of the Boeard.  A committee appointed
by the Board has made some study of the matter and the purpose
no;- is to report such progress as has Been H.ate and to Wring
this matter to the attention of the: Universiety Senate for its
consideration.

     The University is very much in need of an Txperimental and
Observation Practice Scnool for the College of education. The
present high school is insufficient to meet their nerds, and as
there is no like.ihood that such provision can be mrade in the
near future, under the direction of the Board application has
been made to the General Education Board for a grant to erect
such a building.

     Dew courses have been outlined for use in the fields of
Art and Music leading to the bachelor's degree.    These courses
are to give the opportunity for wider training in the two fields.

     It may be well for the Board of Trustees to create a com-
mittee to-make an inspection of the buildings and grounds, so
that a report can be made at the Mway meeting upon the conditions
existing at the University.

      4. Soll Fxporiw-,nt 'i7,(  a9t ,elin  Green. The following
 resolution  eS oyf-f fsrc,  EsLcrod and unanimously approved:


      HI EAS., The Tetorn ' ntu-.ky C' tae Teachers Collcge has
requested the Board cf Tr-ustoee: of  -a University of Kentucky to
eotablish a so0il expe-riie;nt fi0id on certain of its lands at
Bowuling &reon, and

     "MEAFS, The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky
has given careful consi.deration to this request, with the  full
recallzCn'n  v of the vle. cfa coop::c-ration between the two insti-
tutions, '-ut seekirn at tlhe sarkr, tirr4 to deterrine a sound and
logical practice in the esofbliotz+ent of expariLent fields, and

     :'EERRES, The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky
is of the opinion that the soil expeximent fields nowr developed,
and the experi-ental soil work planned at the 'Western Kentucky
Substation at Princetonr, provide reseatch service for the Bowling
Green soil areas, as well as for the cth-r principal soil areas
of western Kentucky, and that in view  of the necessity of economy
and of conservation of the resources of the institution, it is
not deemed advisable to establish a soil experiment field at
zowling Green, as it would result in duplicating work now in prog-
ress,

     THEREFORE, Having in mirnd the best means of advancing the
agricultural interests in ' arren County, this Board of Trustees
recommends the employment of a county agricultural agent who can
lead the agricultural developiment in the county.  To this end,
the University of Kentucky -will provide such proportion of the
fund as is usual in cooperative agreements covering agricultural
extension work.   The Board  of Tsustees expresses the 1iope that
a satisfactory coope rative endeavor can be. developed between the
western Kentucky State Teachers' College and the University of
Kentucky in the employment of a county agricultural agent.


   . 5. Course in Music. A recommendation ,recoived from the
University Senate approving a course In Music leading to the
degree of B.S., for the purpose of training supervisors and
music  teachers in the State.   A motion was made, seconded,
and carried that the reconnend;at ion of the Senate be concurred
