    Dr. C. S. Crouse
    Department of Mining & Metallurgical Engineering
    University of Kentucky
    Lexington, Kentucky

    My dear Dr. Crouse:

    With the registration of our .4'. Roland Kozlik in your
    University, for study in your Department of Mining and
    Metallurgical Engineering, we are hereby establishing a
      fellowship at your Institution.

      Since you and I seem to have had bad luck in getting togeth-
      er, I think it would clarify the conditions of this Fellow-
      ship if I outlined its chief points which have been estab-
      lished as a basic policy in dealing with other universities
      under similar situations.

      1) We are establishing with your Department of Mining and
         Metallurgical Engineering, a Fellowship for the study
         of Physical Metallurgy.   This Fellowship has now been
         awarded to Mr. Roland Kozlik, a former employee of
         JOSEPH E. SEAGRAM & SONS, INC., but now resident in
         Lexington and a registered graduate student of your
         Institution.

    2) It is expected that the Fci.!ow (Mr. Roland Kozlik)
       who carries on this study T.ill receive his academic
       training at your Unive.rsity and will later conduct
       his actual research work with you, subject to some
       consultation and direction from us.

    3) All e xpenses incurred by your Staff in communicating
       between Lexington and our Louisville Offices in help-
       ing direct the Follow in his work, will be carried
       by this Company.

    4) The salary of the said Fellow will be continued by
       JOSEPH E.SEAGRAMI & SONS,Inc. until the completion of
       his course, and until he has achieved his degree of
       Master of Science.

    5) This Company will pay to the University of Kentucky
       the sum of 4600 (Six Hundred Dollars) in order to de-
       fray the expenses incurred by the University in the
       academic conduct of this same Fellowship.

    6) All data obtained in conjunction with the Fellowship
       will be free for publication by the University;however,
       it is expected that acknowledgment will be made by
       the University to the credit of this Company.

    If you prefer, it might be erpedient to handle this Fellowship
    on a concrete contractual basis. If your University is in
    agreement with the above, we should like to make arrngements
    to draw 1;p a contract followei. this outline.  But first of
    all, we should appreciate your expression on these points,
    and if you have any suggestions, the submission from you of a
    tentative contract incorporating our agreement.

    Yours very truly,

    JOSEPH E.SEAGRAM & SONS,INC.

     H. Residence Hals for Women Budiet.

     President Donovan submitted t'.c budget for residence halls for
women for the year 1943-44 and recc,.,mended its approval. It was ex-
plained, howeverj that for obvious reasons, an accurate budget at
this time could not be presented.   We do not know how many students
will be in residence during the current year or how many houses it
T. '11 be necessary to activate and rent in order to take care of the
alas seeking residence in women's halls for the current year, and
  .t this is a good guess as to the requirements for the current
.ycare

                         * * * * * * * * * *

            8. It was moved and seconded that the budget
               for residence halls for women; as submitted,
               for the year 1943-44 be accepted as a basis
               of         expenditures, and that inclusion
               of the name of any person in the budget shall
               not be considered as a contract of employment,
               and the Board of Trustees or the Executive
               Committee shall be authorized to make such
               changes in the budget as may, from time to
               time, be deemed necessary or advisable. A
               copy was ordered filed.

    President Donovan stated to the Executive Committe that the Dean
of Women and the Comptroller had recommended an increase in the fees
charged per quarter for room and board in the women's residence halls,
It was recommended that the fee be increased from $100 to $110 per
quarter.   It was further explained that this increase was made
necessary due to the increased raw food costs and increased cost of
labor necessary for preparations and other overhead expenses.    This
increase represents an additional cost of less than four cents per
meal.   It is recognized that this increase is far less than the
rise in food costs but it is thought to be sufficient to place the
food unit in the residence halls on a self-sustaining basis.    It
was further eplained that in the event this amount is found to be
inadequate, another increase will be requested.




             9. Upon motion duly made and seconded the Execu-
                tive Committee, being thoroughly advised, au-
                thorized an increase in the fee for room and
                board in the Women's Residence Halls from
                $100 to $110 per quarters effective for the
                fall quarter, 1943-44 school year.

                               Yours very truly,

                             (Signed) Frank D. Peterson

         Enclosed also is a cashier's check, drawn on the
    First National Bank of Lexin:on, for 75 cents.    This

     No Leaves pf Absence.

     President Donovan reviewed for tne executive Committee the
problem facing the University with respect to its policy of granting
leaves of absence to the staff for the purpose of joining the mili-
tary forces or working with other govennmental agencies or industry.
te pointed out the fact that the University had already lost scores
of its employees to the armed forces, governmental agencies and in-
dustry, and that at present there was a serious shortage of teachers
in several of the departments.   He expressed some apprehension with
regard to whether or not the University would have enoughteachers
to fulfill its contract with the War Department for the instruction
of the youth in the ASTP, if the practice of granting leaves of ab-
sence to staff members wno volunteer for service should be continued.

     The president recommended that in view of the fact that the
University has an important contract to train approximately 1250
soldiers, as well as continue to offer its usual program of studies
to civilians, that the policy of granting leaves of absence to mem_
bers of tiie staff who volunteer for other services be discontinued,
and that in the future leaves of absence be granted only to those
men who are drafted under the Selective Service.

     kotion made, seconded and carried that the President be in-
structed to decline to give further leaves of absence to faculty
members except in cases where they are drafted under the Selective
Service.


     0. Waiver Lf Employment of Relatives Policy.

     President Donovan explained to the Executive Committee the dif-
ficulty in securing physicists and chemists and stated that it has
been necessary to employ Mrs. Herbert P. Riley, wife of Dr. Herbert
P. Riley who is head of the Department of Botany, as a part-time
teacher of Chemistry and recommended that the policy regarding the
employment of relatives of staff members previously adopted by the
Board of Trustees be waived in this particular instance only for the
duration of the present emergency.

             13. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the recom-

                 applies to mIrs. herbert P. Riley for the presdnt
                 emergency only,
