                              5.


     "In presenting the Quarterly Report of the President of
the University I have thought it worth while to review the
accomplishments wrought by the Board of Trustees in the last
seven or eight years.   It is a notable period in the history
of the University that has brought real progress and one for
%which the Board can congratulate itself with the assurance
that it has done well.

     "May I begin with the growth in the student body?   In
1918 there were 719 students registered in the University
as candidates for degrees.   There were, in addition, 672 in
various other coursES and the summer session -- a total of
1,272.   Today there are 2,100 students registered as candi-
dates for degrees, and 1,500 more in other courses and the
summer session -- a total of 3,600.   Of this number, 75 are
graduate students,   During the same period the instruction-
al staff has grown from 109 to 168.   One college has been
added, that of Education, and departments of Art, Economics,
Psychology, Music, Hygiene, Bacteriology, created in the
College of Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Univer-
sity Extension.   The library has grown from 2,200 volumes
to 62,000.

     "In the period from 1917 to 1925 the legislature made
one appropriation of $150,000 for the erection of a dormi-
tory for men.   Nevertheless, ou,6 of the income of tLe Uni-
versity, and with the help of Alumni and friends in the case
of the M-en's Gymnasium, five more buildings have been erect-
ed.   These are the President's house, stock-judging pavilion,
engineering shop, the new chemistry building, and +he new
gymnasium.   Through the help of the Greater Kentucky Fund
a new stadium was built on the athletic field at a cost of
$120,000.   The buildings in 1917 were in bad repair, since
pipes and wiring needed complete restoration.   Since then,
Neville and White Halls have been overhauled and rearranged,
new boilers have been placed in four buildings and the heat-
ing systems repaired.   Much remains to be done, but real
foundations have been laid, and under a plan now well on to
completion, a sixth building will be erected by private oap-t
ital and leased to the University for a women's dormitory.
In 1921 Smith Hall was purchased and remodeled for a women's
ciormitory.  With the new building the University will have
accommodations for 290 women.

     "New land has been acquired now and then as opportuni-
ty offered.   Lcts on Winslow Street have been purchased,
and 131 acres were added to the Experiment Station farm.
Professor M,1iller's gift of 2,000 square feet opposite the
campus on South Limestone is a valuable addition to the Uni-
versity's property.   Two sub experiment stations have been




 






6-



  authorized by the legislature.   One of these, the aift of
  E. 0. Robinson, gives great scope for the Univers.Lty. not
  only in crops of all kinds, but particularly in forestry on
  the 15,000 acr-e tract.  The other dtation at Princeton is
  well started on a farm of 400 acres, the gift of citizens in
  and around Princeton, Kentucky.

       "The acquilements of gifts might be put down as follows:

              Robinson Tract, 15,000 acres .... $150,000
              Princeton Tract, 400 acres ..       20,000
              M ill.er lots  ...................  12,000
              Memorial Fund         .     .       85,000
              Greater Kentucky Funds paid
                and available to the University   80.000
                  Total of Gifts .............   347,000

       "The Greater Kentucky Fund is not complete and it has
  been necessary to advance funds to finish the gymnasium and
  the stadium. to the amount of $122,500.  These sums will un-
  doubtedly be paid.   It is hoped that the Memorial Building
  may be erected in the next year or two from the proceeds of
  the Memorial Fund.

       "It should be noted that while the income of the Univer-
  sity for genera2 purposes has increased 82 per cent, the num-
  ber of students has increased 193 per cent.   The use of
  general funds for construction can no lonrer be continued in
  view of the needs of instruction, yet building space is more
  in demand than ever.

  -   "In this report I have not dealt with accomplishments
  of an educational nature, but rather with propert, and organ-
  ization.   The former I'.shall leave to the June report.

       "The business organization of the University has been
  largely built up since 1917.   Provisions have been made for
  the orderly transaction of business, the auditing of accounts
  and monthly detailed reports of income and expenditures.

        "meantime the general fund income has grown since 1917
  from $465,000 to $850,000.   The Experiment Station income
  has not increased materially for the work it has to do.    The
  Agricultural Extension has developed considerably from
  0156,657 to $372,000 ih 1925.   All of these matters indicate
  a material growth that should carry satisfaction to the minds
  of the Board-and the friends of the University."

     Concerning the matter of the construction of a new dormitory
for women, President MoVey reported progress with reference to plans




 






( .



and preliminary steps, but as the matter wvas not in condition for
final action at this time, thle Board of Trustees adopted unani-
nrously the following resolutions:

     That the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the
`- iversity of Kentucky be authorized and the same is hereby author-
ized to enter into a lease with the Security Trust Company, of
Lexington, which proposes to erect a cert-ain dormitory for women,
and. that arrangements of all terms of said lease or contract be
left to the discretion of the Executive Committee of this Board.

     The Budget of thie UM-iversity for the session 1925-26 was then
submitted for consideration.   After due discussion the said budget
was, upon motion of Senator Froman, seconded by Mr. Gordon, unani-
mously adopted as the basis of expenditures for 19-5-25, and of
provisions for income and expenditlure for that period.   (This
budget appears elsevchere as part of the minutes of this meeting.)

     President MfoVey then presented a printing problem as affect-
ing the University which he said involved two questicns, narmely,
whether the State should furnish paper for University printing,
and secondly, whether tags used by the Experiment Station should
be paid for out of the Fertilizer Fund of the institution.    After
discussion of the matter, the Board without objection, authorized
Preside-nt MoVey to take up the matter with the Attorney General of
the State for a final ruling on thece points.

     President MroVey reported that the University of Louisville
had presented formal requests to the University of Kentucky to join
it in a proposal to the Legislature for $50,000 appropriation to
establish a scholarship for the medical school at Louisville to be
adrninistered in conjunction with the University of Kentucky.   This
matter was fully discussed but no action was taken.

     The President reported that inasmuch as classroom space was
greatly in demand upon the University campus, he deemed it exped-
ient that a building be erected on certain property owned by the.
University on Winslow Street to house the Art Department of the
College of Arts and Sciences.   He stated that this building could
be erected at a cost of approximately $6,000, and that he had, in
preparing the budget, indicated a cost for the same of $6,000.
He said that this would relieve congestion for classrooms and lib-
arate for other class usage, rooms in the upper stories of White
Hall; that this building could be constructed of frame and be made
ample for many years to-meet the demands of the Art Department.
After discussion, the President's recommendation, upon motion duly
