       E. Foreign Operations Administration.

       President Donovan made a brief report on the new plan which the Foreign
Operations Administration seeks to adopt to provide most of its technical services
overseas.  The Government wishes to shift much of the detailed administration
of foreign technical assistance out of Washington into various universities, and
toward this end has decided to enter into three-year contracts with appropriate
universities for technical aid abroad.

       The plan calls for the university to take the initiative in proposing contracts
for technical aid abroad. If the University desires and can provide advisory,
teaching and research services in several fields to a given foreign country, it may
so indicate to the Foreign Operations Administration, through which service a
contract may be negotiated, Services may be provided in several broad fields
such as agriculture, home economics, engineering, public health, public educa-
tion, public finance, marketing, public administration, social welfare, et cetera.
A given university may work up projects within these broad fields, to be con-
sidered by the Foreign Operations Administration.

       It is not expected that the advisory, teaching and research services which
may be renderedc by a university in the United States, will cost the university
anything at all from its own budget. The negotiated contracts should allow for
ample administrative costs, travel, insurance, salary, necessary equipment,
et cetera, and funds based upon a negotiated three-year contract may be deposited
with the university upon official approval of the three -year contract. Several
universities in the United States now have contracts for services in some of the
foreign countries.

       President Donovan stated that the University might offer its services in
some of the broad fields included. Various members of our staff have had ex-
perience in some countries in the Middle East, stth as Turkey, Egypt and Greece,
and are qualified to assist in services abroad.

       President Donovan recommended that, if the members of the Board of
Trustees thought the University of Kentucky might offer its services to the Foreign
Operations Administration, authority be given the administrative officials to con-
tact the Foreign Operations Administration and explore, propose, accept and
execute contracts for technical aid abroad.

       Members of the Board discussed the broad aspects of the United States
Government program in countries outside the United States, and upon motion duly
made, seconded and carried, the University administration was authorized to
explore, propose, accept and execute contracts for technical aid abroad which
the University might render through its staff,



       F. Girls' Dormitor

       President Donovan reported that the Board of Trustees had had before it
the question of constructing a girls' dormitory. He related that a loan agreement
for $722, 000, 00 had been consummated with the Housing and Home Finance Agency
of the Federal Government,




 







16



       The President stated that a gift from the Keeneland Foundation not to
exceed $200, 000. 00 would be used towards supplementing funds available for
the construction of the girls, dormitory, and the University would make avail-
able from operating funds of the women' s residence hall additional funds re-
quired to construct and equip the new proposed women' s residence hall designed
by Frankel and Curtis, architects.

       Members of the Board received the information enthusiastically, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, authorized the President to cause
plans and specifications to be submitted to the Housing and Home Finance Agency
of the Government for final approval and authorization for advertisement; to
request of the State Property and Building Commission approval; and request
for bids for construction, and to expedite awarding of the contract in so far as
possible,



       G. Economic Status of University Personnel.

       President Donovan stated that he had received from a committee of the
American Association of University Professors of the University of Kentucky a
very fine documented report on the economic status of the University professor.
He read at length from a statement he had prepared, and from the report, and
requested that they be received and made a part of the minutes.


        THE ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR



        Both law and custom require the president of the University to make an
annual report to the Trustees and the general public on the state of the Univer-
sity.  At this time I have elected to report to you on the economic status of
the professor at the University of Kentucky, While the University always has
problems in need of solution, I regard the low economic status of our professors
as the most vital of all the issues facing the University today.

       In spite of a number of small increases in salaries the Board has made
to our professors and staff during the last decade the professor today finds
himself poorer in terms of purchasing power than he was at the beginning of the
Second World War. He is compelled to eat cheaper food, wear his old clothes
longer, take longer to pay for his home, if he is fortunate enough to have one,
or do what a number of professors at the University have decided to do--live
under sub-standard conditions in Shawneetown or elsewhere,  His financial
worries often affect his morale; they tend to make him less effective as a teach-
er and research worker. Very frequently he becomes unhappy, sometimes bit-
ter.  Many men seek jobs that pay more in industry or government or at
another university.  A study of our turnover in personnel at the University
is alarming; no business could prosper if it changed employees at the rate the
University is compelled to do.

       The quality of a university does not depend primarily on the excellerne
of its buildings and equipment but upon the character and quality of its profes-
sors.  The faculty makes a university; there is no substitute for great

teachers. No man can do his best work if he is constantly under economic pres-
sure and I fear this is the case with many of our teachers.,

       The problem of turnover in personnel is critical.  During a recent year
we lost thirty-eight of our very excellent teachers. Within the past month Duke
University claimed one of our best men and Michigan State another.  One of
these men is to receive $1800 and the other $2000 per year more than we are
paying them. We cannot fill these positions with men of the quality we are los-
ing at the salaries we are now paying.  This sort of thing is gradually bleeding
the University of its vitality. It cannot go on indefinitely without seriously af-
fecting the quality of our University. It is a serious matter for the state for it
is here on this campus that most of its future leaders must be developed,

       There is no position that requires a longer period of preparation, probably
with the single exception of medicine, than that of the college teacher.  The pro-
fessor must have his Ph, D. degree from a reputable university and this requires
from seven to ten years of college work above high school graduation.  He is
then advanced very slowly through the ranks: instructor, assistant professor,
associate professor, to professor.  He is usually forty-five to fifty-five years
old before he reaches the top.  Today after this long period of preparation and
slow advancement he looks around to discover he is earning no more than a
bricklayer, a plumber, or an electrician on a construction job.  How can he
in good faith be happy regarding his situation or advise his most capable students
to prepare themselves for the teaching profession that requires so much and
returns so small a financial reward?

       I am aware that there is no immediate solution to this problem.  Finan-
cial relief for our professors will take time.  However, the Trustees and the
general public must be aware of the problem and the challenge it presents must
be courageously
