                              January 18, 1939


Mr. D. H. Peak
Business Office
University of Kentucky

Dear Ivy. Peak:

     In the collection of student loan notes now i2
the sixth year we have found many that seem uncol-
lectable.

     We have turned over to Attorney Grover Thompson
a number of the notes for collection and we shall oon-
tinue to turn over others in cases where no response
is made to our letters.   At nresent we are sending out
about 100 letters each month to debtors, making appeals
for payment.   I may say that practically all our col-
lections have been in small morthly payments. This list
of 100 constitutes about all from whom we have any pros-
pect of receiving payment.

     I should say that 33500 would be the limit of our
expectation in future collections on notes now held.


                       (Signed) T. T. Jones
                                 Chairman.


6. Hospital Nurses' Student Fees.

President McVey submitted following correspondence:

a. Good Samaritan Hospital's Request.

     At the present time the Nursing School students
have -
                Chemistry       2 credits
                Anatomy and
                Physiology    4 credits
                Bacteriology   2 credits

     We get these for 825.00.  At the suggestion of Dr.
Scherago, we are going to have Bacteriology follow
Chemistry.   Bacteriology will be given this year in
the Second Summer Term, for which we expect to pay the
regular fee.   We would like to put Psychology in the
first term, in the plaoe of Bacteriology.    This is a
3 credit course.   We expect to pay the additional


9.


    $4.00 for it. That would make our bill $29.00 for
    each student for the first semester.

         Is this satisfactory?

         (Note from Miss L. Pottinger).


    b. Registrar's Letter.


                                    January 10, 1939


    President Frqrnk L. McVey
    University of Kentucky

    My dear President McVey:

         I am writing you with reference to the request
    from the Good Samaritan Hospital.

         Under the original understanding, approved by the
    Board of Trustees, nurses from the hospital were given
    the privilege of taking the following three courses,
    totaling eight credits, for a flat fee of 425.00; Anat-
    omy and Physiology 6, 4 credits; Bacteriology R6, 2
    credits; Chemistry 49a, 2 credits.   In accordance with
    your recommendation, Bacteriology will be taken out of
    this grouping. This course will then be given ih the
    summer term and the nurses will pay for it according to
    the regular summer term schedule of fees.   Psychology
    3 will replace Bacteriology in the group of courses
    given for the flat fee.   However, since it is a three
    hour course and Bacteriology R6 gives only two hours'
    credit, it is understood that the flat fee will now be
    $29.00.

          It is my further understanding that all courses
     other than the three in Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology,
     and Psychology, taken by the nurses, will be paid for
     at the same rate as that paid by all other students,


                            (Signed) Leo M. Chamberlain
                                     Registrar


     c. It was ordered on motion duly seconded and carried that
a flat fee of $29.00 per semester be charged Good Samaritan Hos-
pital nurses and other hospital nurses for following courses:
Anatomy and Physiology 6, 4 credits; Psychology 3, 3 credits;
Chemistry 49a, 2 credits.

     7. Men's Dormitory Rents - Deferred Payment Charge.

     President E.IcVey submitted a request of Dean Jones for deferred
payment fee of $3.00 on Men's Dormitory rents, and on motion and
second duly carried, it was ordered that grants of deferred pay-
ment of room rent to residents of Men's Dormitories may be made,
conditioned on payment on or before January 1, first semester,
and May 1, second semester.   Failure to pay in whole or in part
within the time limits named shall incur a deferred charge of $3.00,
in addition to the regular charge.


     8, Audit of Books of Fraternities.

     President McVey presented the following request of Dean of
Men, T. T. Jones:

          We are asking permission to require an audit of
     the books of all fraternities represented here to be
     made June 1 and February 1.   This will cause each
     group to tighten up on collections since their financial
     condition will be revealed twice a year.   At Ohio
     State a monthly audit is required.   We would like for
     the audit to be made under direction of the Business
     Office.

                           (Signed) T. T. Jones
                                    Dean of Men.

     On motion and second which carried, it was ordered that the
Dean of Men and Dean of Women may require audits of the accounts of
fraternities at least twice each year and more often if deemed
advisable.   The audit shall be made by and under the direction
of the Business Office, and. the expense of each audit shall be
paid by the fraternity whose accounts are audited.


     9. Bill of College Catering Company, Student Union Building
Allowed.

     a. President IcVey presented report of Dean Graham.


                                       January 16, 1939

     President Frank L. McVey
     University of Kentucky

     My dear President MnVey:

         I attach hereto an invoice rendered by the College
     Catering Company for work performed by that Company upon
     the Student Union Building.   The surrounding circum-
     stances are as follows:


II.


         You will remember that the architects expended
    some eight months upon the design of this building and
    that, when the semi-final plans were delivered to you
    for your study and approval, you discovered some major
    objections to the layout in general.   As a result,
    this College took over and made the changes, especially
    in combining two main kitchens into one.   Shortly
    afterwards, we entered into discussions with several
    catering companies which eventually was reduced to the
    Union News Company, who, however, restricted their
    proposed investment in kitchen and dining room equipment
    and furnishings to $12,000, which we estimated would
    cost at least $25,000.   Because of these negotiations,
    the kitchen plans largely conformed to the desires and
    plans of that company and thus were incorporated in the
    building.   Later, the College Catering Company entered
    into the picture and offered to advance or invest the
    sum of 825,000 and this offer was accepted.

         Except for a few minor changes the College Catering
    Company finally accepted the kitchen, etc., as built,
    but this occurred too late for the cost thereof to be
    included within the P. W. A. construction account. These
    items total $282.95 and while the work was done under our
    supervision, the funds were advanced by the College Cater-
    ing Company.

          The largest item upon the invoice ($747.08) was for
     soundproofing the plaster ceiling in the main cafeteria.
     You will remember that after the building was opened for
     service last May, some fault was found with the noise
     in the cafeteria.   The best available time for oerforming
     this work was after the close of the Summer School
     Sessions in August.   As we then had available a squad
     of engineering students trained in the work, this was
     done, with the College Catering Company paying for student
     labor and materials,   Judge Stoll may remember that I
     discussed this matter with him, at the time, he being the
     only available consultant.

          I therefore enclose this invoice for your consid-
     eration and can state that the costs are correct and
     fair.

                               (Signed) James H. Graham
                                          Dean

     b. Resolution

     The report of Dean Graham was accepted and on motion and
second, it was ordered that $1030.03 be paid to the College Cater-
ing Company, as shown by bill rendered and copied herein.     The
payment shall be made from Building Revenue Fund set aside to
Student Union Building.

     10. Taxation of Distilled Spirits and Wines in Kentuck_ - Pro-
posed Study.

     President McVey stated that through James W. Martin, Commission-
er of Revenue, the Distillers' Association of Kentucky, anxious to
have made a comprehensive study of the taxation of distilled spi-
rits and wine in Kentucky, is prepared to give the University of
Kentucky an amount sufficient to make possible the employment of
a qualified assistant, the defraying of travel and other exponsos,
and possibly the publication of such a study.   It is contemplated

that the assistant's tenure shall be twelve months, beginnir.? with
the second semester of the current year.   In consequence of this
and of the fact that the Executive Committee is meeting currently,
I am submitting the matter for consideration without waiting to
have all the details worked out with the Distillers' Association.


Discussion by members of the Committee resulted in deferring ac-

questions raised relative thereto,


     11. Housing Men Students,

     Report of Committee on Student Welfare submitted by President
McVey:


                                      January 17, 1939


     Dr. Frank L. McoVey
     President
     University of Kentucky

     Dear President McVey:

     The Senate Committee on Student Welfare, of which I am
     chairman for the present year, has made some investigation
     and given considerable time and thought to the matter of
     housing for men students at the University.

     Briefly stated, there are something in the neighborhood
     of fifty men students who are living in attics or base-
     ments of private rooming houses under conditions which
     are not at all conducive to adequate living standards.

     With the help of Mr. Crutcher, Superintendent of Build-
     ings and Grounds, the committee has worked out a plan
     for providing additional rooms in the Men's Dormitories
     on the University campus.   The suggested Procedure is
     to make available living quarters in the basements of
     the present dormitories.   It is possible to provide liv-
     ing accommodations for fifty students in these areas in
     rooms which will be adequate and desirable according to
     present standards for student rooms.   The cost of such
     a procedure, including time and materials and also the
     furnishings for the new rooms will be approximately
     10,00.00.   The income, based on $20.00 per man per
     semester, will be $2000.00 per year.   This is a minimum
     figure, as some of the rooms will be rented for more than
     this amount.


14.


      The present plans provide for very satisfactory living
      quarters.   The rooms will be comparable to X esent fa-
      cilities in the Men's Dormitory, bathroom facilities
      will be adequate, light and ventilation suitable.    In
      addition to the living quarters, there will be provided
      in Breckinridge Hall an adequate social and recreation
      room.   This room will be of sufficient size and ar-
      rangement to serve the needs of all three dormitory
      units.   The present recreation room in Breckinridge
      Hall will be converted into living quarters.    This
      recreation room is so small that it has been of but
      little use, for its original purpose.

      The committee on Student Welfare has investigated this
      matter from various angles and there seems to be no
      question as to the desirability of the procedure.
      The entire matter, of course, rests on the problem of
      finances.   The question being where and how can we raise
      the $10,000.   It would seem that an investment of this
      amount which will give an annual return of '2000f.00
      is a sound investment, especially when one considers
      that we will be providing for our men students more
      and better living quarters.

      The committee is also of the opinion that if this project
      is to be realized, that action should be taken on it
      immediately, primarily for the purpose of taking advan-
      tage )f certain Federal funds and materials which are
      now available, but which may not be available later on.
      Secondly, the University needs this additional housing
      space.   It should be available by the beginning of
      school in September 1939.

      Sincerely yours,

      (Signed) M. E. Potter
               Head
               Department of Physical Education


     The report received favorable comment, and the means of secur-
ing funds with which to make the improvements was discussed.     Ac-
tion was deferred, however, pending further information as to se-
curing funds for payment of improvements.

     12. The Margaret Voorhies Haggin Trust Fund Created in Memory
of Her Husband, the Late James B. Haggin.

    a, Trust Deed.

    President MoVey presented a deed of special trust and confi-
dence, dated July 14, 1938, from Margaret Voorhies Haggin, of the
City of New York, to William M. Haupt, James W. Grerard and the
Bank of New York, trustees, by which she assigns, transfers,


15.


conveys and sets over to the trustees certain shares of stock of
the Haggin Estate.   The rents, income and profits and the pro-
ceeds of sale of the stock or any part thereof after deducting
expenses of management and commissions of the trustees are to be
applied to charitable use as designated in the deed of trust. The
University of Kentucky is named as one of the recipients of the
income, in amount of 50 per cent thereof.


     b. Comment of President McVey

     Today the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees had
the great pleasure of receiving a report on the recent gift made
to the University by Mrs. Margaret Voorhies Haggin thru the crea-
tion of the trust of her name in memory of her husband, the late
James B. Haggin.   Under the provisions of the trust, the Universi-
ty of Kentucky receives one-half of the income available b the
trust.   The Executive Committee in behalf of the Board of Trus-
tees acknowledges the great possibilities that will come to the
University.

     In the life of the University gifts have been received from
time to time, but these gifts have been for specific purposes,
such as the grants of the General Education Board for the construc-
tion of the College of Education buildings, the enlargement of
the teaching and research in the field of agriculture and rural
life; the gifts of the Carnegie Corporation for art and music, and
the subscriptions to build the stadium and Memorial Hall contribut-
ed by alumni and friends.   The income from the Margaret Voorhies
Haggin trust may be used for such purposes as the Board of Trustees
may designate, outside of current expenses.    This means that the
University may found scholarships, lectureships, professorships,
and subsidize publication of learned books and articles, or my
accumulate thru the years a fund for a building.    This gift can
be of great benefit to the University, in that it will enable the
institution to do many important things that a university ought to
do.   Thru the gift of Mrs. Haggin the University can look for-
ward to a richer and more effective service.    By the creation
of this trust and making the University its beneficiary, M1rs. Hag-
gin has not only done a fine thing for the State of Kentucky, but
has established a memorial that will give pleasure to her, help
to students and encourage the artistic and intellectual life of
the University, as well as memorialize the life of a great man,
the late James B. Haggin.


      c. Expenditure of Income Received.    Memorandum by President
         McVey.

                           MEMORANDUM
 REGADLING THE i, ARGARET VOORHIES HAGGIN TRUST FUND CREATED IN ME7vi-
           ORY OF HER HUSBAND, THE LATE JAMES B. HAGGIN


     The University has received one-half the income of this trust
for the past year.   The sum amounted to 834,112.91.    It is the


16,


largest single gift that the University has received, and the
largest gift it has ever received which was free from restrictions
of any kind. The Executive Committee should, therefore, send
to Mrs. Haggin its appreciation of the gift and the honor the Uni-
versity has in accepting it from her.

     In thinking over the expenditure of this money, it seems to
me that there should not be too many fixed charges made against
it, so that a considerable amount may be used in the future for
some larger purposes of the University. However, there are a
number of things in the way of equipment, scholarships, lecture-
ships, and publication procedure that are greatly needed by the
University. I would recommend, therefore:

1. The Margaret Voorhies Haggin Trust Scholarships and
   Fellowships should Se established in the Graduate
   School. I suggest ten fellowships at $400 each,
   and twenty scholarships at $200 each.                 88,000

2. It would be advisable and very desirable for the
   University to have a lecture fund, with which it
   could pay men and women of outstanding scholar-
   ship and ability to come to the University from
   time to tinB to give one or more lectures.   The
   amount of this fund might be put at $1500.             1,500

3. The University has been greatly handicapped by
   a lack of funds to finance the publication of
   books, monographs and the like, that come from
   the researches and scholarship of the staff. I
   would recommend a publication fund of $2,000
   annually.                                              2,000

4. Annotation of Kentucky Laws                            1,000

5. For a number of years the University has been
   carrying on a broadcasting program thru the
   WHAS station of the COURIER-JOURNAL and LOUIS-
   VILLE TIMES.   New equipment has been needed for
   some time, and more space could be utilized to
   the advantage, not only of the station, but of
   the Misic </pre>
