      The Chairman appointed on said Commilttee M~essrs.
Kinkead, McChord and Nelson.



      Said Cormittee retires to consider its report.



      The Chairman announced that the next in order is new
business.

           In Regard to Prof. Roark.

      Col. Clay, as Chairman of the Special Committee on
Legislation submits a Resolution, for adoption by the Board,
which is as follows:

      The Board of Trustees of the A. & M. College of
Kentucky regard with regret and displeasure the attitude of
Prof. R. N. Roark, in reference to the legislation proposed
and introduced in the late General Assembly by the Committee
on Legislation appointed for this purpose by the Board
of Trustees. They regard his action in acquiescing in,
aiding and abetting the Modification and amendment of the
Measure introduced by the Committee as an officious inter-
vention in matters outside of his province and his duties.
To the members of the Committee and of the Board by whom
the Committee was appointed his action indicates a want of
delicacy and a lack of the proper sense of propriety. It
exhibits a spirit of insubordination and disloyalty wholly
incompatible with the duties of a professor. While, therefore,
the Board does not ask for his resignation, or more for
his exclusion from the College, they nevertheless rebuke
and condemn his action as wholly gratuitous and unjusti-
fiable action   which they believe resulted in the practical
failure of important legislation much needed by the
State College.

      Said motion was seconded by Judge Barker.



      Prof. Roark to appear before the Board.

      Upon motion of Judge Barker, duly seconded and carried,
the Secretary was directed to summon Prof. Roark to appear
before the Board at once to make such explanation as he may




 








MINUTES OF AlaR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, June 9, 1904 - page 262-263



see fit, and that further action on the resolution be post-
poned until Prof. Roark should have appeared and been heard.



      Mr. Brooks withdraws from meeting.

      Thereupon Mr. Brooks announced that he had made
previous engagements which required his presence, and asked
to be excused from the Board.


      Upon motion of Judge Barker, duly seconded and carried,
Mr. Brooks was excused. Mr. Brooks thereupon retired.



      Committee of ladies.

      It was announced that Committees of ladies from various
organizations in the City of Lexington desired to appear
before the Board to be heard in the matter of the Dean
for the Department of Domestic Science.



      Ladies to be heard later.

      Upon motion of Judge Barker, duly seconded and carried,
the Secretary was directed to notify the ladies that they
would be heard at ten O'clock tomorrow.


      Mr. McChord offered the following resolution:

      In regard to expenses.

      Whereas, it is made manifest from the Report of the
President to this Board that steps must be promptly taken
to reduce the expenses of operating the College, to the
end that annual expenses shall not exceed annual income.




 








MINUTES OF HEE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,JTune 9th, 1904 - page 263



      Special. Committee.

      Be it, therefore, Resolved, that the Chairman of this
Board appoint a committee composed of five members of the
Board, the Chairman to be ex-officio a member of said
Committee. Said committee is empowered and directed to
examine into the details of the conduct and management of
every department of the College, and shall make such report
as to the Committee may seem wise, touching any department
of the College, with a view to the reduction of expenses
where it can be judiciously done.


      Said resolution was seconded by Judge Barker, and
after discussion was placed upon its passage and carried.


      The Chairman appointed as said Committee: Yessrs.
McChord, Chairman,  Patterson, Kinkead, Nelson and Ramsey.



      Prof. Roark appears before the Board.

      At this point it was announced that Prof. Roark
was ready to appear before the Board, and the Secretary was
directed to invite him to appear, which he did.


      A very full discussion was had as to Prof. Roark's
connection with proposed legislation before the late
General Assembly between Prof. Roark on the one hand, and
various members of the Board on the other, and Prof. Roark
responded to numerous questions asked by members of the
Board, and principally by members of the Legislative
Committee. Thereupon Prof. Roark retired, and after
