sity, which report is as follows:


To the Board of Trustees of the State University,
                              LexinLgton,
                                 Kentucky.

Gentlemen:-

           Your Committee on Military affairs, was directed at
the last meeting of the Board of Trustees to make a thorough re-
port upon the question of Military Science taught and to be
taught in your University and to make such reconrmendations rela-
ting thereto as your Commiittee deemed advisable. We find that in
almost all of the land grant Colleges throughout the country, only
two years of actual drill is required of the students. This is
true in Ohio State, Cornell, California, Kansas, Illinois, Tulane,
Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Texas, Penn-
sylvania State and other like institutions. At the University of
North Carolina, three years of drill is required. This i the
only land grant college, so far as your Comnittee is advised, which
requires studeftls to drill for more than two years.


     Your Committee believes and is confirmed in its belief by the
Commandant of your University, that the manual of arrms, squad pla-
toon, Oompany and Battalion drill can be learned in two years by
a student at the University, if it can be learned at all. Your
Committee believes that mere evolutions and the manual of grms is
the smallest and we believe the least important branch of Military
science. The ability to drill and tc keep proper alignment is
necessary but it does not make a soldier nor does it qualify him
to manage the affairs of the militia. This matter might be forc-
ably illustrated by a statement made to the Chairman of your Oom-
mittee by Major Judson of the United States Corp of Engineers.
Major Judson, as you know, was selected by the United States Govern-
ment as one of the:-three men to represent it as Attache to the
Russian Army during the Japanese War, and we maay add was at the
battles of Mudkin and Harbin. Major Judson says that at Montauk
Point, during the Spanish War, he was sitting in front of his tent
talking to an Officer of the Militia. One of the Militia Oom9  ys
passed by and went through various evolutions. The Militia officer
much pleased, asked the Major if he had seen anything like it
before.  The Major 8a.d he had never seen such magnificent evolu-
tions but once, and that was a few nights ago, when he had. seen
the Chorus Girls in the Metropolitan Opera House in 4ke New York
go through their drill not only better than the Militia Company
but even witzhout orders from their Oaptain.




 





MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Jun 2-1909



     Do not understand your Committee to belittle the ability of
soldiers to properly go through Company evolutions and the manual
of arms, but your Cou.-nittee believes that a true soldier and an
efficient officer need to know more than that. The rules of
sanitation and Hygiene are one of the most important things an
officer should know. In order that he might make an efficient
officer, he should know Topographical Engineering, he should
know how to attack and defend fortified places; he should know
military law and the relation of military to the civil authori-
ties, and many other like things, the 1knowledge of all which go
to make an officer in the highest sense.


     Therefore, your Cormiiittee would recommend,

1st. That the actual drill only be required through And inol*-
ding the Sophomore year at the University. Inasmuch as a. great
many students at the University have had at least one year in
the Academy. This will give two years actual drill to all of
the students and three years to most of them. Your Committee
believes that it is advisable that the st udent should not ac-
auire a distaste for military duties. One of the purposes for
which this College was founded was, to give instructions in the
military arts and believe also to make military science instruc-
tive rather than burdensome. If military science as taught in
the University, is burdensome, then the students will acquire a
distaste for it and will probably not hereafter join the militia
or become officers in the Army. One of your Committee knows
while he was at College, for the first year and probably for the
second year, drill and military science was a pleasure but after
that i~t became a burden and he acquired such a distaste and dis-
like for it that he would never be likely to join military
forces ofithe State, unless, of course, it should become necessary
for the protection of the State.


2nd. We believe that a course of instruction should be taught at
the University with military science as major. This course could
be arranged similar with the other cou ses, say for instance the
Chemical course, where the major is Chdmistry. In this course4
coulo. be taught subjects which will peculiarly fit a person for
military life. For instance, there could be taught military
law, military field Engineering and Military topography, organi-
zation and tactics, hygiene and sanitation, security and attack
on fortified places, relation of Civil Authorities to Military
Authorities and other millltary subjects which are necessary to
make an officer of the highest form. This would enable those
*ho have a taste for military affairs or who desire to make it




 






MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Jun 2-1909



their profession, or who desire to join the militia, to take
this course of study. This course, could lead to a degree of
BA or BS in military science as the Faculty of the University
might determine upon. The men who take their course could be
made the higher officers in the battalion of the Univerwity.:


     Of course, not every one desired to be a soldier or to make
it his profession. Neither does every one desire to be a Mechani-
cal Engineer or to make it his profession but we believe that at
the University there are many men who would elect to take this
course in order that they might fit themselves for a position it
the regular army or for a position in the militia.  If the re-
commendations of your Committee, are adopted, we believe that the
University, will turn out every year, men who will be well quali-
fied not only to drill a Cormpany but it will turn out men who will
be Qualified to be officers in the highest sense and that they will
be of great service to the militia and to the army. The Oomma;n-
dant advises us that he can teach n-ost of the above subjects him-
self and that he would be glad to teach the dourses of which he
is familiar and the other branches could be easily taught by other
Professors at the University. For instance, the Engineering can
be easily taught in connection with the Civil Engineering deoart-
ment and Hygiene and sanitation can be included in connection
with the department of Physiology and Hygiene at the University.
We have conferred with Dr. Pryor and he advises us that he will.
be glad to and can with no inconvenience, teach Hygiene and dani-
tation.

     At this point Judges Barker and Stout came into the meeting.




     At this point Mr. Nicholis stated to the Board that there'was
a note of $10,000.00 of the University which had been executed to
Combs Lumber Company, which was now past due, and asked the Board
whether it desired to give him authority to renew the note.



President Patterson thereupon offered the following resolu-



tion

    Resolved that 0. B. Nichol$fs be authorized by the Board of
Trustees to renew the note for $10,000.00 due to Combs Lumber

     Said motion was duly seconded and carried.

     President Patterson offered the following resolution:

     Resolved that the Report of the Special Committee on Mili-
tary Science, submitted by Mr. Stall as Chairman, be referred- to
the faculty, and that the faculty be requested to hold meeting
for its consideration during vacation, at an early day, and tbat
Mr. Stoll, Chairi.an of the Special Oom.qmittee, appear before the
Faculty at its meeting, if he desired so to do, and tbat after
its reference to the Faculty and after having been passed upon
by them, that they report on same to the next meeting of the
Board.

     Said motion was seconded by Judge Barker, and carried,


     President Patterson presented the account against the Uni-
versity of W. 0. Davis, attorney, for legal services in the
Franklin Circuit Court, and Court of A-..ealsf in litigation there
in with reference to the collection of certain appropriations
made by the Legislature to the University, and after informal
discussion of same, Mr. Stoll offered the following resolution:

     I move that the amount of U. 0. Davis, for legal services
for the sum of $4o0.o0, be ordered paid. Said motion was
seconded by Mr. Carpenter, placed upon its passage and upon the
roll call the vote stood as follows:

     Ayes: Messrs. Carpenter, Hopkins, Nicholj.s Stout, Stoll,
            Patterson, Walker, Wathen, Terrell, 6lay, Barker,
            and Brooks.                                 12

     Noes: None.

     Upon motion of M1r. Stoll, duly seconded and carried so
much of said estimated budget as refers to salaries is referred
to the Oommittee on Salaries, and so mauch thereof as refers to
other aporo-oriations is referred to the Oommittee on Finance.




     At this point Mr. Nicholas presents the report of the Oom-
mittee on Experiment Station, which is as follows:

     The Committee appointed on the Experiment Station submit
the following report:


     We have not had time to go over in detail all ca the de-
partments of the Station, but we find it is growing rapidly and
the work is increasing at a rapid rate. The Director reports
that the Station Building is alre~dy crowded and will be necessary
to add additional accomodations, especially for a good laboratory,
soon.


     After January 1st of this year, new duties devolved upon the
Director, as the drug portion of the food law went into effect
at that time. This..nearl- doubles the work in the Food Depart-
ment. The Board of Control of the Experiment Station, under the
law, has direct supervision of the finances. The manner of
execution of the food law is reflecting credit to the Station
and University, and it has been the policy of the Director, as
well as the Board of Control, to carry on this work in the most
efficient manner and to obtain the best men possible for the
various positions in the food work.




 







MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Jui-a-2, 1909



-   The research work of the Station has been materially In-
creased and we find that the young men graduates of our Univer-
sity are being used at the Station and are receiving training
which fits them for the highest positions in their respective
lines. The Station in this way is doing commendable post-
graduate work.


     The following recommendations are aporoved and we ask their
adootion:

     That the appropriations from the Hatch and Adams Acts, the
incomes :froin the Fertilizer, Food and Feed Control Work, and
Farm and any interest accruing from these accounts, be appropria-
ted by the Board for the use of the Station.

     We approve the recommendation of the Director as to paying
the heads of the departments $200.00 per month on a basis of
twelve months, and to this end we recommend that the heads of
the departments receive a maximum salary of $200.00 per month
or $2,400.00 per year, and that the head assistants receive a
maximum salary, in case of exceptional merit, of $1OO.00 per
year.


     As will be seen by the schedule below, vie have giVen to
Professors Peter, Ourtis and Garman the maximum salary, as they
have been with the Station almost since its beginning; the other
heads of departments we have put at $2,000.00, With the understand
ing that they are to be increased $100.00 per year until the
maximum is reached, and in case of those who have already reached
the maximum of $2,000.00, the increase of $100.00 follows.


     In accordance with the above recommendation, the salaries
of the heads of the departments and assistants of the Station are
tixed, beginning July 1, 1909, as per following schedule:

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Jun 2-1909



     Now, therefore, as a part of consideration for said convey-
ance the Traction Oompany agrees as follows:


     That the Traction Company will put a new wire fence lieu of
the fence which it takes down along the line of first party's  
property, which fence shall be in keeping with the fences of the
Experiment Station farm; the posts to be of straight split locusts,
set three (3) feet in the ground,  The fence shall run the entire_  
length of the University farm along the Nicholasville Pike, which
is being used and operated by the Experiment Station, except in
front of the residence where a stone wall laid in cement is to be
built by the second party in place of the fence. The top of this
stone wall is to come at l.east four (4) inches above the ground
and is to be capped by a cap:stone, or capped in a manner as the
stone wall in front 'of the Experiment Station is capped, as the
Director of the Station rmay determine. The 4-eR* stone wall is
to begin at the northerly fence of the yard of the Director of the
Experiment Station's residence and is to continue south to south
yard fence. At the road entrance, the stone wall is to curve on
either side and to be finished with gate posts made of stone. The
west fence of said wall shall be not over seven (7) feet from thlt;
present fence dividing the said yard from the turnpike.


     It is further agreed that the Experiment Station authorities
are to have Mr. R. H. Tacke, who is now Superintendent of Woodlawn
Park, to remove and replant such trees as said Director of Experi-
ment Station desires moved from the right-of-way, provided no
locust or black walnut trees shall be moved and replanted. The
second party agrees to pay the bill in favor of Mr. Tache for
moving and replanting such trees.


     The second party further agrees to construct entrances to all
roads now entering the Station farm along the right-of-way, with
easy grades; to macadamize, roll and put on fine screenings and
re-roll the entrances of said roads, so as to have them first
class in every respect.


     The second party further agrees that if in building the in-
terurban electric line, it destroys the present side-walkin f?*1;-
of the premises of the University farm on the Nicholasville Pike,
thot it will put in a new cinder side-walk in the place of that
so destroyed on either-side of the Nicholaeville Pike
