Administrators,

     The President presented following request for expense of out-of-

thereof in the amount of $85.35 by the Executive Committee:

     Dear President Cooper:

     I am handing you herewith a request for travel to Atlantic
     City to attend the annual meeting of the American Association
     of School Administrators.

     For two years I have served the National Association of
     Colleges and Departments of Education as chairman of a
     committee to study the graduate program in education in land
     grant colleges and state universities.   This committee is
     attempting to discover how graduate programs may be made
     more functional and how graduate study may serve education
     in a more effective way.   Tile findings of this committee
     will affect the programs of the institutions that hold mem-
     bership in the organization.   Requirements will be modified,
     new work will be undertaken, and programs generally will be
     improved,  If the University should not be represented at
     the annual meeting when findings are discussed and revisions
     are being made, we should lose contact with the program and
     our graduate work in education would suffer,   Attendance
     at this meeting is essential to the continued improvement
     of our graduate work in education.

     I shall appreciate your approval of this request,

                             (Signed) William S. Taylor.



On motion and second, the following resolution was passed:

          "President Cooper having recommended approval of the
     request of Dean William S. Taylor, for expense to be in-
     curred in the amount of 885.35 in Dean Taylor's attendance
     of the annual meeting of the American Association of
     School Administrators to be held at Atlantic City, New
     Jersey, February 22-27, 1941, and the Executive Committee
     being advised as to the necessity of the University of
     Kentucky having a representative at the said meeting in
     order to protect, preserve and improve graduate work
     in Education by relatinn, itself with the Association' s
     progress therein, the Executive Committee deems such
     attendance a necessary part of the business and opera-
     tion of the University of Kentucky;

          "Therefore the request for expense in a sum not to
     exceed $85,35 of Dean William S. Taylor in attending the
     meeting of the American Association of School Administra-
     tors to be held at Atlantic City, New0 Jersey, February
     22-27, 1941, is gyanted, approved and ordered, and the
     Business Agent is directed to subTmit to the State Depart-
     ment of Fina'nce for payment the travel expense account
     presented by Dean Taylor together wvith a copy of this reso-
     lut ion i


     6. Judgment, Sour Mash lagazine Company against Bill Costel
at al.

     At the meeting of the Executive Committee of January 17, 1941,
the claim of James S. Shropshire made on judgment paid by him in the
above styled case, for 8234,91, was referred to r&. James Park for
report at this meeting of the Executive Committee.   The President
read to the Committee the letter of Mar. Saropshire, dated Novenbiber
29, 1940, from which letter it appears that he (Shropshire) was
acting under authority of the Dean of Men in taking charge of the
affairs of the publications,

     Mr. Park stated that the facts brought out in the case corrobo-
rate Mr, Shropshire's letter, so far as these facts have been pre-
sented to him.   It was the opinion that there may be a moral obli-
gation of the University to settle the Judgment and costs in the
case, although the authority to create such obligation was not given
directly or indirectly by the Board of Trustees,

     After further and thorough discussion, including the involve-
ment of The Kentucky Kernel, in connection with the publications of
Sour Mash and the Wildcat,

     On motion, seconded and carried, it was ordered that James S.
Shropshire be reimbursed in the amount of .30%4.91, amount of Judgment
and costs in the case of Sour Iash Magazine Company vs Bill Cos-el
et al, Fayette Circuit Court, and that payment be made from funds in
the account of The Kentucky Kernel of the University of Kentucky,

ceived by the Department of Mlusic from the Secretary of the Nation-
al Association of Schools of Music:
