service as aviation cadets should be governed by the existing rule
with respect to credit upon entrance to military service, unless some
leeway is allowed the individual student as a result of a special
petition. The following students were permitted to receive half credit
for the courses in which they are passing this quarter, although with-
drawing slightly in advance of the required six-weeks' period ending
on February 17:

William W. Oliver

W. H. Colbert

W. F. Johnstone

W. A. Parsons

Joseph F. McGinnis was allowed full credit for the a)urses in

the close of the required eight weeks' period.

The following two students were allowed credit as indicated for
courses they were passing at the time of withdrawal during the fall
quarter, although they were not actually inducted into military service
until somewhat beyond the ten days minimum period provided for in
the rule:

George Talley Bailey n full credit
Calvin B. Smart - half credit

On recommendation of Dean Boyd, the petition of David Marcus
was approved. Mr. Marcus was asking that he be allowed to complete
the requirements for the combined ArtsrLaW degree with 9% weeks less

also will lack 13 hours of credit at the close of the winter quarter.
He expects to complete this by special examinations.

Minutes of the Faculty of the University - February 23, 1943

The following statement was read to the Faculty by President Donovan;

"Many state universities have found that over half of the
students entering the freshman class failed to pursue their
work long enough to secure a degree. In some of Our institu«
tions of higher education over fifty per cent drop out before
the end of the sophomore year. In the University of Kentucky
fifty—two per cent leave before completing four years of
college work. There are a number of reasons why students drOp
out of college. Lack of ability, poor preparation for college
work, indifference, failure, and financial difficulties are the
principal causes for student elimination from college.

To meet this serious problem a number of our better univer~
sities have organized junior divisions, or some other plan de~
signed to hold a larger proportion of the entering freshmen.
Some of these programs have been highly successful. Progres~
sive institutions everywhere are concerned about this high rate
of student mortality, and many of them are at work on plans to
improve present practices. It appears to me to be desirable
at this time for the University of Kentucky to make a very
thorough study of this problem of student elimination, espec~
ially at the freshman and sophomore levels. When students
enter the University and are compelled to drop out for one
cause or another, they frequently leave with a feeling of
frustration and failure and sometimes a bitterness toward the
institution. These students often succeed fairly well in their
vocations, but some of them remain hostile to the University
throughout their lives. With a View of attempting to improve
conditions at the University of Kentucky, I am requesting you
to authorize the president to appoint a committee to made a
study of what other universities have done to solve the probe
lems of that great group of students who are annually eliminated
from the University. This c0mmittee should be especially
charged with the responsibility of making a study of the junior
divisions that have been set up in other universities, and
after it has made a thorough analysis of the best practices
prevailing in this country, the committee will be requested
to make recommendations to the faculty of the University for
its consideration."

The Faculty voted approval of the statement and of the recommendation
and authorized the President to appoint the committee recommended. The
following persons were named to the Committee: M. M. White, Chairman,
Maurice F. Seay, A. J. Lawrence, L. J. Horlacher, Roy Moreland, J. S.
Horine, and Leo M. Chamberlain.

At the request of President Donovan. Colonel Brewer reported on a
meeting held for the Fifth Corps Area at Columbus, Ohio, at which he
heard outlined the policies and regulations to be observed in schools
that are to participate in the new training program of the U.S. Army.
The Faculty discussed at some length the various problems that should

127

Minutes of the Faculty of the University - February 23, 1943

be anticipated, and the tasks that would hwve to be performed in
connection with the assignment of soldiers to the University of
Kentucky. It appeared probabka that the University would receive
the first allotment of approximately 400 soldiers on March 20.

On recommendation of Dean W. D. Funkhouser,Faculty Representa-
tive of the Southeastern Conference, the admission to the University
of the following two students was approved: Marvin Siegel and
Frank Smotherman.

The following resolutions with respect to Professor McHenry
Rhoads, prepared by Dean Taylor, were approved by the Faculty:

"Dr. McHenry Rhoads died January 16, 1943. Few men have
lived more fully the life span allotted to them. He lived all
of the eighty—four years and six months of his life in Ken~
tucky, the state of his birth. Born in Muhlenberg County,
he acquired his early education in the common schools near
his home, received his baccalaureate degree from West Kentucky
College in South Carrollton, Kentucky, in 1880, his Master of
Arts degree from Hartford College in 1884, and his Master of
Philosophy degree from this same institution in 1887. The
degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him by Georgetown
College in 1924, while he was serving as State Superintendent
of Public Instruction.

Dr. Rhoads' long career in education in Kentucky is
varied and distinguished. He was a teacher in Hartford College
from 1880 to 1890. Editor of the Hartford Herald from 1885 to
1891, superintendent of schools in Frankfort from 1891 to 1900;
superintendent of schools in Owensboro from 1900 to 1911, pro~
fessor of secondary eduCation at the University of Kentucky
and high school supervisor from 1911 to 1923, and he Served
as Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1924 to 1928.
After his term as state superintendent. he returned to the
University where he again took up his duties as professor of
education. In 1929 Dr. Rhoads undertook an extensive piece of
research in school legislation in Kentucky. The volume which
he completed is not on file in the Library of the University.

Few men in Kentucky have been more zealous in their
efforts in behalf of education than Dr. Rheads. He was a
stench advocate of compulsory education, an earnest supporter
of adequate salaries for teachers, and had great faith in the
ability of public education to raise the level of learning and
good conduct of all the citizens of the state. His belief
that public education was the foundation of democracy was
almost a religion with him. To the building of the public school
system in Kentucky he devoted the full measure of his energy
and ability for mere than half a century.

Minutes of the Faculty of the University ~ February 23, 1943

Dr. McHenry Rhoads had four great loves — his family,
his church, and his profession. With his passing, his
family has lost a loving and devoted father, his state has
lost a great citizen, his church a loyal member, and his
profesSion a distinguished leader. In particular, the
University of Kentucky, to which he devoted thirty~five
years of service, feels keenly the loss of a capable teacher
and a Valued counselor.

It is recommended that these resolutions be made
a part of the minutes of the Faculty of the University of
Kentucky and that couies of them be sent to the family."

On recommendation of the College of Arts and Sciences, the
Faculty approved a request that the credit for Zoology 106,
EmbryOIOgy, be 6 quarter hours rather than 5 quarter hours. It
appeared that an error had been made when the course was formerly
presented.

President Donovan suggested to the FaCulty that it might be
desirable to have a convocation near the close of the quarter, with
a view to honoring the large number of men students who will be
required to withdraw at the end of that period to enter military
service. He stated that tentative plans call for the convocation
to be held on March 12. The Faculty expressed approval of this
idea.
