lain and Mrs, Kirwan, to purchase furniture needed. He recommended

priation of $30,000 from unappropriated surplus of the general Uni-

27 August 1947

President H. L. Donovan
Administration Building
University of Kentucky

My dear President Donovan:
The College of Arts and Sciences recommends
that the Board of Trustees authorize a fee of $J..0 for
each proficiency examination in foreign languages after
the first examination. The College requires the suc-
cessful completion of this examination for the A.B. and
B.S. Degrees.

Most students succeed in passing the test the
first time, and no charge is contemplated for these people.
There are some students, however, that use the test as a
technique of learning the foreign language. It costs the
College approximately thirty-seven cents to purchase and
score each of these tests.

Respectfully yours,

(Signed) M1. M. 1fhite

Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, a fee of $1,00 was
authorized for each proficiency examination in foreign languages
after the first examination, same to be collected and accounted for
through the Comptroller's Office,

lishment of the Office of Information as an auxiliary to the Presi.
dent's Office, and recommended that Miss Jane J. Nichols be placed in
charge of the office as Secretary. He stated that Miss Nichols had
been connected with the University for 23 years, and was well

acquainted with the personnel, program and and activities of the Uni-
versity, because of her long association with the institution as
Secretary to the President.

The President stated that definite duties and responsibilities
had been outlined and assigned to the Secretary of the Office of
Information.

The Committee heard the recommendation and discussed the tree
mendous increase in enrollment, the volume of mail received in the
office, and the increased number of conferences which necessarily
follows, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Office
of Information as an auxiliary to the President's Office was author-
Ized established, and the placing of Miss Jane J. Nichols in charge
of the office as Secretary was approved.
