   Report of Accountant:


   Mr. D. H. Peak, Business Agent
   University of Kentucky

   Dear Mr. Peak:

                  I have completed an audit of the records of
    the Organizations Fund of the University of Kentucky for
    the period beginning in March, 1938, and ending June 30,
    1939.

                  A detailed audit was not miade, but sufficient
    check on all portions of the records was made to clearly
    indicate their accuracy. It is my beliof that the follow-
    ing report accurately presents the balances of the various
    organizations on hand at the end of the period, and the
    transactions of the general Fund accounts for this period.

                  Items of Income and Expense applicable to
    the Fund in general are shown in an account termed "Organ-
    ization Fund Expense".  I have transferred $171.00, repre-
    senting cost of an adding machine, from this account to
    a separate asset account to be written off over a period
    of five years.

                   The records appear to have been very well
    kept and I am completely satisfied as to their accuracy.

                                     Yours sincerely,

                                       (Signed) John W. Crood.


    11. Investments.

    The Bankers Bond Company, Louisville, Ky., made the following
suggestion of investment, dated May 9, 1940;

         We own and offer, subject to prior sale -- $10,000
     CITY OF LOUISVILLE STREET IMPROVEMUENT 6% bonds due to
     1941-49 inclusive, at 105 to yield approximately 5% to
     maturity.   The City of Louisville has outstanding ap-
     proximately 8300,000 of this type of bond on which there
     are tax collections of 99,T%.   The tax delinquency is
     less than $800.   This is a remarkable record consider-
     ing the amount of bonds outstanding and also the fact
     that the first issue of this type of bond has been
     outstanding more than five years.


     On motion, seconded and carried, it was ordered that the City
of Louisville Street Improvement Bonds be purchased, in amount of
$100,000,0C, face value.   The investment is to be made from Student
Loan Fund.

                                       May 9, 1940

         I wish to apply for the rcnewal -f Chi Omega Fra-
    ternity' s lease on Smith Hall for the so hool year 1940-

    Mr. D. H. Peak
    Business Agent

    My dear Mr. Peak:

      According to the lease on Smith Hall which the Chi
    Omegas signed last year, they imust Indicat.e that they
    wish to renew the lease by April 1. Frances lHannah, the
    new president, has been to see you in regard to renewing
    the lease,

       There are certain things which the group would like to
    have done before signing the lease another year.  First,
    they need additional floor plugs in some of the rooms
    so that the fire hazard will be less.   The roof of the
    new porch has never been sealed, and it should be sealed
    before it c&n be used.   Some of the plumbing fixtures
    as e old and need to be replaced.  mle girls have always
    wanted central heating.   1 have asked Mir. Crutcher
    to suggest a plan whereby it might be possible to put
    in central heating.   I ar.m enclosing a letter which he
    has written me regarding the floor plugs and the central
    heating.

        I would like to discuss these two questions with you
     ,t your convenience,
                                      Sincerely yours,

                                      (Signed) Sar~ah B. Holmes

     Dear Mr. Peal;:

          In a recent letter you inquired. about the cases of
     two students, J. R. Powers and A. S. Holmes, both of Whom
     were injured in the gymnasium annex in February.   I pre-
     sent the following information.

          Both students were injured on the saue day, falling
     or slipping on the wet floor in the gymnasium, the water
     having come from a leaky roof on the building.

          Mr. Powerst left leg was fractured.   He entered the
     hospital on February. 20th and left on IMarch the 8th, His
     leg was olaced in a cast on the 21st of February and again
     on the 24th.   His hospital bill amounted to $94.00.  Dr.
     W. M. Brown said his bill would not be over $50.00. Powers
     had a fracture of the left fibula and was also treated
     for follicular tonsillitis,

          Mr. Holmes received a rather severe brain concussion.
     He was under observation in the hospital for one week.
     His hospital bill is 835.00. There are no other bills
     connected with his injury.   Mr. Holmes has discussed
     with me the possibility of getting some atid for his
     hospital bill,

          M.1r. Powters has droped out of school this somester.
     Both of thcse boys wore earning part of their expenses.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   (Signed) J. S. Ch.am..bers

     Discussion covered tho facts of this incident, the question of
probable injuries in the future to students on the onrapus, the desire
to give financial assistance to the injured, and the provision,
made by the University for caro of student health at the University
Dispensary.   It was stated that the Dispensary service given stu-
dents is the limit of the University authority in cases of studont
health and accident.   It was suggested that the students in this

    14. Loan to Lrs. Dicker.

    President hM,;cVo:y presented a communication from Dean Graham,
copied as follows:

                                  May 6, 1940

    President Frank L. McVey
    University of Kentucky

    My dear President McVey:

          Mrs. J. B. Dicker, widor of J. B. Dicker, fornerly
     of this Colle-e, is in great need of aid in soime form,
     She owns her home on Washington Street, directly across
     from the Experiment Station, consisting of a one and a
     half story brick cottag';e built on a lot with a 50-ft.
     frontage.  (See attached plot.) Her only son is em-
     ployed by the University at ('20.00 per month and this
     sum, plus the income from two student roomers, is her
     entire income. As she is a property owner, she cannot
     get upon any of the relief roles. She is fifty-nine
     years of age.   She has accumulated a debt of approximate-
     ly S800.   In accord with other adjacent property recently
     purchased by the University, we have appraised this prop-
     erty at 86,000.

         We offer for your consideration one possible solu-
     tion of this problem:

          We have ascertained that an annuity, paying the
     beneficiary the sum of $28.00 per month for a period of
     ten years, may be purchased for $3,000.   Therefore we
     suggest that the University take title to the property
     by paying Mrs. Dicker the sum of $1,000 in cash plus
     the $3,000 annuity and allow her to occupy the property
     rent free during the life of the annuity.

          We have reason to believe that Mrs. Dicker will
     accept this proposal thankfully, if there be no legal
     difficulties,   She prefers this form in lieu of a life-
     time annuity,f:or if she outlives thle ten-year period,
     she will be then qualified for admission to the IMasonic
     Widowa Home.

                                  Very truly,

                                     (Signed) James H. Graham
                                               Dean

     It was suggested that the property be purchased by the Uni-
versity on terrms of payments similar to the terms suggested by Dean
Graham, and that request to make the purchase be made to the Ken-
tucky Rcal Estate Board.   The matter was referred to Board of
Trustees for further action.

     16. Land for Sale.

tate agent, offering for sale to the University certain property on
Euclid, Adans and Lexington Streets fronting 143 feet on Euclid
Avenue, and running back to &dams Street 200 foot.    The President
was asked by the Executive Committee to   rite rr. Rothan, stating
that the University does not contemplate purchase of land on the
north side of Euclid Avenue.


     17. Gift of Strand Theater Organ.

     On February 2, 1939, the Phoenix Amusomont Company tendered to
the University of Kentucky a bill of sale of the pipe organ formerly
used at the Strand Theater, Lexington, Ky.   The consideration named
in the bill of sale is one dollar, but, in fact, the transfer of
the organ was intended as a gift to the Radio Depctrment of the Uni-
versity.

     The request for acceptance of the gift is renewed by communica.-
tion from Dr. Capurso of the Department of Music, copied as follows:


     April 23, 1940
                                              Through Office of
                                                Dean Boyd
     President Frank L. McVey
     University of Kentucky
     Lexington, Kentucky

     My dear President iMicVey:

     In accordance with your request, I have discussed with Mr.
     Sulzer the matter of attempting to utilize the Strand
     Theatre organ material in constructing instruments suitable
     to our use here.   As Mr. Sulzer has pointed out, the Uni-
     versity is absolutely without obligation in the matter; and
     I cannot see that the University has anything to lose in
     embarking on this project.

     Even more important, so far as the Iibasic Department is
     concerned, is the fact that i.r.Sulzer has made an analysis
     of the pipes remaining after his proposed projects are
     completed.   We find that there will be unused the follow-
     ing sets of pipes,




 






16.



                 a' Cello ............... 49 pipes
                 41 Gross flute ......... 61 pipes
                 el Two rank violin ...... 146 pipes
                 81 String celeste ...... . 61 pipes
                 8' Flute ...............  49 pipes
                 8' Viola ...*........... . 49 pipes

    These pipes are complete with their associated chests and
    would have a definite trade-in value on new stops that might
    be desired for augmenting the present Memorial Hall organ.
    Two of the sets of pipes aforementioned are out of the echo
    organ at the Strand Theatre and could be included as they
    stand in an echo organ to be used in conjunction with the
    Memorial Hall organ if such an addition was found desirable
    later.

    I would like to sce the plans of Air. Sulzer in connection
    with the organ consummated if for no other reason than if
    they came to fruition additional practice organ facilities
    would be available to the organ students enrolled in the
    Department of Music, as Mr. Sulzer assures me that the radio
    use of such instruments would not exceed fifty per cent
    of the usual daylight practice periods.

    For the reasons mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs, I
    feel favorable toward the project.

    Very sincerely yours,


    (Signed) Alexander Capurso
             Executive Director



    On motion, seconded and carried, it was ordered that the gift
of the organ be accepted and that the thanks of the Board of Trus-
tees therefor be extended to the Strand Theater officials.

    However, it was) expressly s tipulated that the University of
Kentucky is to be put to no expense in connection with he dissembling
and reconstruction of the instrument or otherwise connected there-
with,
