May 2, 1945
President H. L. Donovan
University of Kentucky
My dear President Donovan:
There is hereto attached the financial report for tbe
University for the period ending Miarch 31, 1945, The ft nan-
cial report shows that actual income will equal or exceed
estimated income shown in the budget adopted by the Board of
Trustees at the beginning of the year. A summarized compara-
tive statement of current general income for the periods July
1-March 31, 1944 and 1945, reveals that the amounts realized
for the current year show various increases and, in one in-
stance, a decrease,

By a comparison of expenditures, it is shown that there
is a strong possibility that several budget arporopriations
will be underspent. Any balance that may result at the close
cf the current year will be used in making the bue.get for the
ensuing year, The following is a summarized comparative
statement of current general expenditures for the two oeriods
being compared.

Plant Funds
The budget for Plant Funds for the current year is
459,960.00. This amount wvas to be used to pay interest and
maturing bonds on the first and second P.W.A. bonds issued
under dates of January 1, 1936, and September 1, 1938, respective-
ly. The sum of Five Hundred Dollars was appropriated for pay-
ment on the Dicker house, purchased-on an amortization plan,
and Eight Thousand Dollars for the purchase of the Harrison 0-ar-
man property located at 638 South L.mestone Street and Garman
Avenue.
The original amount of the first P.%T.A. bond issue was
$6534000.00. Of this issue, 1.34,000.00 has been retired as
of March 31, 19.4, The second P.W.A. bond Issue was for
$316,000.00. Of this issue, ^840,000,00 blaw been retired. as
of March 31, 1945. The total amount of bonds outstanding of
these bond issues is $776,000.00, March 31, 1945, and will be
further reduced June 30, 1945; by the sum of $20,00O.00.
These bond issues were for a period of thirty years and
bear an interest rate of three Der cent, non-callable. The
above represents the total indebtedness against University
property, The income from the property against which the
bonds were issued is sufficient to meet annually maturing
bonds and to pay the interest,
Aeronautical Research Laboratory
The Aeronautical Research Laboratory has operated under
University management since July 1, 1944, with Professor A.J,
Meyer in cha rge. This Laboratory is a part of the general
program of the Collecre of Engineering which is administered by
D, V, Terrell, acting dean, Employees and monthly payrolls
are approved by Dean Terrell.
There are, at paresent, twenty-one. persons employed and
assigned to work in the Laboratory,, with a monthly payroll of
approximately Fifty-Five H1tundred Doll.t.rs, This number, Is sub-
ject to change as work requires and employeds decide to change
employment. It Ise not always oossible to keep all employees
profitably engaged., It is necessary to carry an undistributed
wage account. If the Laboratory is able to keep busy on all
contracts, then the undistritbuted wages are negligible, but
we have experienced delays in waiting for equipment from the
government during the past eight months, At the present
time, maximum efficiency is being secured from the Personnel
in the Laboratory.
The following contracts are in process: Pratt & Whitney
#1, Pratt & Whitney #2, Wright Field Oil Test #3 'Wrighat
Field Oil Test #4, Wright Field Oil Test #5, and. Wright Field
Celtrac Modification Kits. The work being done on Pratt &
Whitney contracts #1 and. #2 is billed monthly and kept up to
date. The work on Wright Field contracts is billed upon com-
pletion. Oil Test #3 is 95% comoleted, Oil Test #4 is 60%
completed and Oil Test #5 is 25% completed; the Celtrnc Mod^-
fication Kit contract is 90% completed.
A monthly report is rendered by the Laboratory, a co-y
of which is hereto attached. The Comrtroller has made recom-
mendations for improvements in the monthly report which the
Director of the Laboratory feels will increase the cost of
operations. Further study is being given to the problem.
A summary of ooerations, as of February 28, 1945, is
given below;
Total income July 1, 1944, to Feb.'unry 28, 1945.... S53,739.52
Receivable on work done to date, but not invoiced.. so
469, 158.32
Add; Inventory on hand. , . .......... ...... 2.000.00
Total income and inventory .1.., ..,, , .. $71,158.32
Less; Expenses July 1819440to February 28,1945.,... 63,568.26
Gross gain before depreciation .................... $ 7590.06
The above statement shows that the Laboratory is operat-
ing at a small gain, notwithstanding the fact that operating
cost was rather high during the period the Mawen Motor Cor-
poration cancelled the operating lease agreement with the Uni-
versity, and the University took over the management.
A net gain has been realized on all contracts save the
Wright Field Celtrac Modification Kit contract, which was for
a total of Six Thousand Dolla.rs. The tot.a expenditures to
date on this contract have been $6,.397,02, It was anticipated,
at the time, that it was impossible to make a contract for this
work with any degree of accuracy as to an estirnate of the final
cost, The parts required for the mod.ification kits were
handmade, and a number of iffercnt firms were contracted with
for the various Darts needed, This was -n. rush order which
private industry could not; handle under Army stipulations.
The Laboratory took the Job rnd turned out the finished rroduct
in the time specified.

Group Insurance
It is thought that some facts about the group insurance
plan carried by employees of' the University would be of in-
terest to members of the Board, All regularly employed per-
sons having six months' service or more belong to the group
Insurance olan. T1'here are, at this time, nine hundred and
sixty-eight insured persons working for the University, carry-
Ing policy insurance amounting to $1,468, 500.00. During
1943-44 the rate was $1.02 per thousand dollars per month,
or $12.24 per thousand per year. The Group received a div-
idend for the year totalling 6.953.09, which enabled the
Group Insurance Committee to declare a per capita dividend
of five dollars per thousand, This equalled a net premiwn
rate of $7.24 per thousand per year, which is a comparatively
low ordinary life insurance premium. The premium on Group
Insurance is paid by each individual insured,
Hospitali zation Insurance
Five hundred and sixty-three persons employed by the Uni-
versity carry hospitalization insurance, Hospitalization in-
surance is in effect in departments or divisions of the Uni-
versity where seventy-five pcr cent of thle eligible oersonnel
has joined-the Group, This insurance cost ninety-four cents
per month, or $11.28 per year during 1943-4.4. The Group
paid total premiums in 1943-44 of r7,054.42 and received a
dividend of $1, 259.92, which onabled the Hospitalization In-
surance Committee to declare a per capita dividend of H';2.01,
which equalled a net annual premium of $,99.27 per person.
The policy carried by each member of the hospitalization
insurance group includes three dollars a day for thirty-one
days for hospital service a maximurn of fifteen dollars for
laboratory fees ant3 certain other specified charges, a maximum
of a hundred and fifty dollars for surgical costs. The a.l-
lowance for surgical fee depronds upon the character of the
operation as set forth in a schedule accompanying each policy.
The insured person has twenty-four hour insured protection.
The premium on hospitalization insurance is paid by each
individual receiving the protection.

E. Increase of Room and Board Fees in Women's Residence Halls.
President Donovan submitted the following letter of recommenda-.
tion concerning an increase in fees for residence halls for women.
April 30, 1945
President H. L. Donovan
University of Kentucky
By dear President Donovan:
Attached is a recommendat.ion from Dean Holmes relative
to an increase in the fee for board and room at the women's
residence halls, It seems necessary to make this increase
in view of the mounting food costs and in order that we may
be reasonably certain about the budget for 1945-46. There-
fore, I am approving the recommendation and am requesting
that it be submitted for approval zo the Board of Trustees.
The change is to become effective with the fall quarter,
1945,
Sincerely

Dear President Donovan:
Dr. Chambers has recommended two advanced courses, Hygiene
and Public Health, 105 and 106, 3 quarter hours each, Ward
Teaching for Nurses, and Advanced Medical Nursing, to be
taught by Miss Amy Frances Brown, Strtte Director of Nursing
Education. Miss Brown is to bo paid for the teaching by the
U. S. Heelth Service, and the graduate nurses who take the
courses are to pay regular Univerrsity fees. The courses are
to be given at St. Joseph's Hospitnl, on account of the clin-
ical facilities, and are to give residence credit.
I recommend that Miss Brown be appointed Temporary Instructor
of Hygiene and Public Health for the Spring Quarter, 1944-45,
without salary from the University. Miss Brown is a register-
ed nurse and has a bachelor's degree and a master's, and.has
done work toward the doctor's degree.

Dear President Donovani
I enclose a telegram just rece-ved from, Mrs, Mary J. Dunne
of the U.S. Public HIealth Service, IT~shingtonj stating thut
the Government cannot pay Miss Brown a salary for the couirses
in Nurse Education if we charge the nurses "regular tuition."
It was our clear understanding from Miss Brown that. the Gov-
ernment would pay her salary and t1;.t we might charge the
regular fees. I am enclosing carbons of my letters to you
and Miss Brown to this effect. I wvill write to Miss Brown
as soon as I hear from you. The following courses seem
possible:
1. We might pay Miss Brorn's sal;--ry (;G5350) and do
the needed mimeogrash work for her in our steno-
graphic bureau and. keop the fees,
2. We. might crell the o1'r~rs off' unless Miss Brown
volunteers to teach th-o courses without so).5.ry.
3. We might wzaive the student fees and allow Miss
Brown to collect the salary and. mimeographing
expense from the Government.
Since the te.chi-nois done at St. Josaoh's Hoepital and tha
students are all graduate nurses in service, I would suggest
th.at we do number 3,

I am very much disappointed in this whole question of
the employment of Miss Brown to teach courses in Nursing
Education and then have the government change the arrcn..ge-
ments she had stated as a condition of employment. Since
these people are already enrolled, I believe the only thing
we can do now is to waive the student fees and. to allow
Miss Brown to collect her salary and expenses from the gov-
ernment. Let us not take on any additional classes on this
basis in the future unless we have an official understanding
from the United States Public Health Service.
