     H. Sciedule of Student Fees.

     President Donovan presented to the Executive Committee a let-
ter from the Dean of the University and Registrar, together with
the schedule of fees which had been approved by Dean Chamberlain
and Comptroller Peterson, with recommendation that the schedule
be approved by the Executive Committeeo


                                       January 26, 1943

    President H. L. Donovan
    University of Kentucky

    Dear President Donovan:

         Attached are two fee tables, one for the regular
     quarter and one for the summer term, which I am recom-
     mending for approval by the Board of Trustees0   Mr.
     Peterson concurs with me in this recommendation.

          Since talking with you I have gone carefully into
     the matter of the graduate fee and have studied practices
     at a good many other institutions0   It is now our conclu-
     sion that it would not be desirable to make the regular
     fee for graduate students any larger than that charged
     undergraduates    We can justify a somewhat larger part-
     time fee, because the graduate student obtains full
     residence when he is carrying only nine quarter hours,
     while the undergraduate student can claim full residence
     only when he is registered for twelve quarter hours.

          As a consequence of this decision, the only changes
     from the fees now in force are in the part-time charge
     and in the schedule for one term of the summer quarter.
     Part-time charges have been altered slightly in order
     to adjust them to the full-time fees.   The changes for
     the full-time fees for one term of the summer quarter
     include the substitution of a $23 charge for the odd
     figure of $22,75 previously employedvand a somewhat more
     equitable adjustment of the extra Law and non-resident
     cnargese

          If these schedules meet with your approval, I sug-
     gest that they be presented to the Executive Committee
     at its next meeting, in order that we may include a
     statement of fees in our Bulletin of General Information
     and the Summer Quarter Bulletin.

                             Sincerely,

                                     (Signed) Leo M. Chamberlain
                                              Dean of the Uni-
                                              versity and Registrar
