Minutes of the University Faculty ~ May 8, 1944

The University of Kentucky is greatly concerned about the
Veteran Aid Bill now before Congress. The FaCulty of the Univere
sity earnestly requests you to support the Barden Bill, H93. 3846,
which provides for the use of existing educational agencies and
institutions in-carrying out the educational program for veterans.
We are convinced that the educational provisions of the Clark and
Rankin Bills would, if enacted into law, constitute a serious
threat to the existing state and local control of education. We
believe that the Barden Bill, which makes provision for state
supervisory committees, for state selection of institutions, and
for the administration of the veterans“ program through the state
educational agencies is fundamentally sound and should receive the
support of the Congress of the United States.

Dean Taylor"s original motion was amended to provide thaﬂthe statement
be sent to all Kentucky Congressmen, and the Secretary was instructed
to carry out the wishes of the Faculty in this respect.

President Donovan introduced to the Faculty Mr. William B“ Embry,
the newly elected President of the Student Government Association, and
by virtue of that office a member of the Facultye
