MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,Jun-3,190 Page 257
We have ever held him in high esteem as a man of sterling
Christian character, unswerving fidelity to duty, and of
high attainments in the educational development of our State.
While we bow in humble submission to the inscrutable
Providence that has removed him from our midst, when apparent-
ly his life's work was but well begun we mourn his loss as
that of a personal friend whose personal graces of mind and
heart have endeared him to all whose lives he touched.
Therefore be it resolved,
That we express our sincere sympathy to the family of our
friend and co-worker in the cause of education and commend
them to the one unfailing Source of help and consolation.
Second, That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes
of the Board of Trustees and a copy be sent to the newspapers

departments of the money appropriated to the University for
building, etc., which report is as followes:
We, your Comnmittee appointed to recommend to the Board,
a proper apportionment between the various departments of the
balance of the $200,9Q0 appropriation, after paying our debts
for buildings and equipment already completed, beg leave to
make the following report, to-wit: After careful calculation
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,Jun-3,1908 Page 258(cont'd)
we find that to cay off the existing debt will require about
$100,000, leaving $100,000 to be divided among the several
departments.
After careful consideration of the subject, we suggest that
$50,000.00 be appropriated to Physics and Civil Engineering for
building and equipment; that $5,000.00 to Mining Engineering,
$25,000.00 to Chemical Department and $10,000.00 to the Mechani-
cal and Electrical Engineering Department be given for a build-
ing and equipment. We also report that the first available funds,
after paying debt be devoted to the Physics and Civil Engineer-
ing building and equipment. The first available funds will be
about $33,33.00 payable July lst,1909- The balance of the
$100,000.00 apportioned as above, will be payable by the State
July 1, 1910. Corn. 0. G. Clay, Jas. K. Patterson, C. B. Terrell.

Louisville High School, where she had lead some work in Chemistry;
that another young lady who had some from the same school at
the same time had had applied to him for credit for her work i n
Chemistry in the Louisville High School; that as there Informed
he believed this work sufficient to pass his requirements, and she
had been credited with that work, and required to take no Chem-
istry in order to receive her degree; that if he had been in-
formed of the nature and the extent of her work she would have
been required to take additional-Chemistry, but having been
credited with the work, he did not deem it proper to require her
MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,Jun-3,1908 Page 259(cont'd)
to take additional work; that Miss Boyd had not applied for
the credit at the same time, and when she did apply he was
informed that the work done by her in the Louisville High
School in Chemistry was not sufficient, and he had required
her tontake additional work, which she had not done. He
stated further that if Miss Boyd had applied at the time the
other young lady who had taken the same *.mount of work in
Chemistry did apply, she would have been given credit for the
work in said school, and excused her from taking further
Chemistry under him but this she had not done. P. so

ment he would recommend to the Faculty the granting of
Miss Boyd's degree.

The following motion was offered by Judge Barker, seconded
by Judge Terrell, and carried:
Resolved that the Literary Societies of the University be
given the use of the chapel free of any charge for their annual
open sessions, and for any society debates or contests.
M1r. Caroenter, Chairm-an of the Committee on Experiment Station,
oresents the Report of said Committee, which is as follows:
The Committee an-ointed on the Exneriment Station begs
leave to submit the following report:
We find the Stations growing rapidly and new duties are
being taken up each year. The Station building is already
crowded and it will not be long before-.additional accomodations
will have to be provided for housing the different departments
of the Station.
The last legislature passed a new Pure Food Law and gave to
the Director of the Experiment Station its enforcement which
will add greatly to his work. The Board of Control of the Ex- P.267
periment Station has direct supervision of finances. The food
law has been a popular one in the State and we believe it has
given credit both to the Station and to the College. The funds
are paid directly by the State, and we think the Director should
be given hearty support in the execution of the law and that
the Board of Control should make liberal appropriations for
getting the best seen for the work. As the Director is responsible
for the work done, he should be given the opportunity of selecting
the very best men obtainable.
The following recommendations of the Director are approved
and we ask their adoption:
1, That the anpropriation of $15,000.00 from the Hatch Act ,
and the funds from the Adam.s Act, the income from the Fertilizer
Food, and Feed Control Work, and Farm, and any interest accruing
from these accounts, be appropriated for the use of the Station.
2, That in accordance with the action of the Board, fixing
the salaries of the heads of the divisions and assistants in
the Experierant Bttatloff the salaries of the following persons
are fixed for the next year, beginning July 1,1908, as follows:

The Board of Control is charged with the enforcement of
the Food Law passed by the legislature of 190g. It will be
necessary to employ various persons in the work and we recom-
mend that the Board of Control be empowered to employ, together
with the Director, such persons as it may deem necessary to
carry out fully the intent and purposes of such Act, and to fix
and certify for payment of salaries of all persons so employed
and engaged in any way for such purposes.

to remain the same as heretofore, except that the Director
shall have charge of all post-graduate work in the Agricul-
tural College. The exception facilities for research work in
the Experimental Station affords to advance students opportuni-
ties which would come directly under the charge of the Director,
and your Committee believes that by means of conferences be-
tween the Director of the Experiment Station and the Head of P.271
the Denartment of Agriculture, it will be able to obtain the
services of members of the Experiment Station Staff for deliver-
ing lecturesetc., to the students of the Agricultural je-
partment, but in view of the detail connected with this arrange-
ment and in view of the legal entanglements which are likely
to occur, by reason of the provisions of law under which the
various funds of the Station are created, your committee must
act with care and deliberation.
Your committee believes that if it is continued, it can
work out a plan which would be satisfactory to this Board and
to the various departments of the University interesed in the
matter of agriculture, and, therefore, it asks that it may be
continued and that either it be given power to act or that it
report to the Board at its December meeting, the results of
its labors for their action.
Your Committee sees that the President of the University
has recommended that two assistants be appointed in the De-
partment of Agriculture, but it believes it an work out a
plan whereby the work of at least one of these assistants can
be done away with, and probably the work of both of these
assistants can be done in another way.

Mr. Davies, Chairmnan of the Committee on Minutes of the
Faculty, made the Report of said. Committee, which is as follows:
The Committee appointed to report upon the minutes of the
faculty had read the minutes as recorded since the last meeting
of the Board of Trustees and approves them.
The committee would in particular recommend the adoption
of the plan proposed by the faculty in reference to laboratory
deposits, to the effect that, "In place of the varied scale of
laboratory deposits now in use, that a uniform deposit of
$10.00 be hereafter required of every student in the college and
that this deposit be made with the Business agent of the College".
Your coimmnittee further recommend in harmony with the action
of the faculty relating to advanced degrees, that it be the
sense of this Board that the awarding of advanced degrees in
this institution be placed upon the higher plane, in accordance
with the practice of the most advanced universities of this
country; that such degrees should be given only in recognition
of work accomplished under the direct supervision of the Univer-
sity faculty, except in the case of those which are customarily
bestowed as honorary degrees in recognition of distinguished
public services or scholarship.
