1. Approval of Minutes.
The minutes of the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of
September 19, 1939, and the minutes of the meeting of the Executive
Committee of October 19, 1939, were approved as published.
2, Alumni Election for IMIembers of the Board.
The Secretary of the Board reported that, according to order
made at the September 1939 meeting of the Board of Trustees (see
Sec. 6, minutes of that meeting), ballots were mailed to each
alumnus of the University of Kentucky. The ballots returned to
the Secretary of the Board to December 12, 1939 numbered 1691.
The envelopes containing the ballots were opened, and the votes were
counted and tabulated in the office of the Alumni Secretary of the
University of Kentucky by Ethel Rix, representative of the Alumni
Association, and by Virginia Earnest, representative of the Secre-
tary of the Board of Trustees, on the morning of December 15, 1939,
the Board meeting having been continued to that date. The tab-

Alumni Association and by the representative of the Secretary of
the Board of Trustees was -resented to the Board of Trustees of
the University of Kentucky in open meeting on December 15, 1939.
The tabulation showed that the six names on the ballots re-
celved votes as follows: James Park, Lexington, 1319; John E.
Bro%.n, Shelbyville, 936; Is i'nnie A. Swinford, Cynthicana, 3 9;
2.
Arthur T. Bryson, Ashland, 776; Recd S. M1iller, Louisville, 560;
and Frank T. Strect, Jr.,Henderson, 497. Votes were cast for
104 other names, the votes numbering from 1 to 4 for each nznzne.
The certified result a-pears as acynendix of these minutes.
Thereupon on motion and second, which was carried,
the Secretary of the Board was ordered to certify to
Governor Keen Johnson the names of James Park, John E.
Brovwn and Mrs. Mlinnie B. Swinford, these being the
names of the three nersons receiving the largest number
of votes. From this list of three names the Governor

motion and second, was accepted and ordered recorded in the min-
utes. It is copied as follows:
QUARTEIRLY REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
December 15, 1939
The Decem.ber meeting occurring after the opening of the Uni-
versity gives an opportunity to present to the Board of Trustees
the present temporary enrollment figures for the first semester of
the year. The grand total of students registered for October
was 3766, of which number 2530 were men and 1236 were women. In
the College of Arts and Sciences there were 1488 students. The
College of Agriculture has risen in attendance from the sixth to
second place. The enrollment at the time these figures were
brought together by the Registrar's office for the different co-l-
leges was as follows:

It has always been difficult to secure comparative enrollments
in the colleges and universities of the State. The American Asso-
ciation of Collegiate Registrars endeavors to gather this informa-
tion and in its report of 1938-1939 will be found the attendance
figures for the collegiate year 1938-1939 and the summer session of
1938. It will be noted in this table that the University of Ken-
tucky has 4065 students registered in the first and second semesters
excluding duplicates. This enrollment equals the combined enroll-
ments of the Eastern State Teachers College, Murray State Teachers
College and the Western State Teachers College. The report does
not include attendance figures for Morehead State Teachers College.
It is interesting to note also that the number of graduate students
in the first semester of this year was 355. The highest enrollment
in the Graduate School is in the Summer Session, when the number
runs well toward a thousand.

The housing of students has been a source of discussion
practically thruout the history of the University. Members of the
Board recall undoubtedly that nrovision was made this year for the
building of a new residence hall for women and for some additional
srace in the men's dormitories by utilizing rooms in the basements.
I am able to report at this time that both projects have been com-
pleted, increasing the residence facilities for women to 345 and for
men 314.
The student body of the University comes from many different
localities; about one-sixth of the number enrolled have their resi-
dence in other states; three fifths come from outside Fayette County,
representing all 'Dut three of the counties in the State; the re-
mainder are residents of Lexington and Fayette County, The Universi-
ty finds that about three fourths of the number of students must
secure lodgings in the fraternity houses, residence halls or in the
homes of citizens. It is my Judgment that the University ought to
provide for one fourth to one third of the student population. The
University has housing for about one half of this number, or one
sixth of the student body. Many of the houses in which students
live are inadequate in heating, lighting and sanitary provisions.
I am saying all this to the Board in order to emphasize the need for
better housing facilities for adequate care for the Universityls
population.
The University has a medical service now located in the old Law
building. The number of calls made upon the Dispensary run not far
from 1300-2000 per month. In addition to such service, the Diepen-
fary m.liakes a great many tests, laboratory examinations, and x-ray
pictures for students. The service is excellent and meets our
student health needs fairly well, Then students are ill in th.eir
5.
own rooms, the Dispensary physicians find it difficult to give the
assistance that should be provided for them. An arrangement has
been made with the hospitals for wards at a comparatively low fig-
ure, but this does not meet the whole situation. The University
ought to have in the not far distant future an infirmary with
capacity for twenty students, with a nurse to take care of those
students who may be ill. It might be said at this time that the
services which are rendered to students of universities are very
much greater than they were in ray day, .hen almost nothing was
provided beyond instruction, books in the library, laboratories
and fields for such sports as students cared to develop for them-
selves. Since then the trend has been constantly in the direction
of extending the welfare program for students.
From time to time I have brought to the attention of the
Board the Drogress of the building projects begun three years ago.
This year will see the completion of the buildings provided for in
the original plans for construction. The largest building on the
campus is the biological sciences building, which wrill be finished
this sprin- and ready for occupancy. The building provided for
the Depart;.ent of Home Economics should be ready for use some time
before the close of the college year. The upper floor of the
home economics building will not be finished, due to the lack of
funds for the completion of the building. Science buildings re-
quire a great d cal of cauipment for which funds arc not always
provided. However, the last legislature imade appropriations
for scientific equipment, and it will be possible to provide the
departments now housed in the biological sciences building with
necessary equipment. The Departments of Zoology and Art can use
much equipment, and, since that is true, it is hoped that the
Legislature will make provision for the furniture and shelving
needed in this building. The sum of $15,000 has been asked for
the Hom-ne Econordcs Building, and if that sum is granted this build-
ing can be promptly furnished.
The last Legislature appropriated 860,000 annually for on-
gineering equipment. This sum has been used to provide additional
equipmlent for the Engineering Col].ege, and with it a considerable
change has b e'n made in the facilities of that college. It may
be said that when the supplies and equipment have been ,Durchased
the college will be quite in advance of anything the Engineering
work has had in the, past. The Legislature has been asked for an
additional sum of $25,000 to finish the equipment purchases of
the College.
I amo able to report that the Library now has 254,227 volumes
and a large number of pamphlets, cards and miaterials of many kinds.
Acc-rding to tables prepared by .1.t. MeIfcillan, Librarian of Louisi-
ars State University, the University of Kentucky novw stands in the
sixth nlaoce among the 36 institutions listed in his tablesI Th is-
is a marked difference from a few years aoro. The sum of 560,0Co.0C.
appropriated by the last legislature strengthened considerably
the position of the Library ih.hthis respect. The sum of ^?o0s000
has} Ben placed in the Legislative budget for the continuation of
book purchases.

At the meeting in September the Legislative budget of the Uni-
versity was presented to the Board of Trustees for their consid-
eration. That budget was adopted in the main, but some changes
have taken place in it. These we brought to your attention in
the budget, as it was presented to the State Finance Department,
which has in charge the preparation of the budget for presentation
to the Legislature. I am setting forth in a table various re-
quests made for the lifferent departments and functions of the
University.

What will be the outcome in regard to these requests can only be
knovnwhen the Legislative Council meets and the Governor finally
passes uuon the bill, and the Legislature adoDts it as the budget
for 1940-42. It should be kept in mind, however, that new demiands
have come into the financial situation, which will compete more and
more with educational expenditures of the State. I have reference
particularly to the provisions for indigent persons of old age,
persons whose needs will require in this State an addition of several
millions in this budget. Beside, there will be increased demands
for social welfare, so the contest will finally reach a point where
the State will have to determine whether the youth and their educa--
tion shall be sacrificed for the development of old age pensions and
increased welfare provisions. It may well become a contest between
old age and youth. Certainly, it may be said that the failure to
provide education for youth will increase the demands for support
in the upper age levels. What I am trying to bring out is that the
Board of Governors and administrative officers and. staff shoulcd not
shut their eyes to the situation created by the competition now on
the stage between old pensions and the education of youth. It un-
doubtedly will take a considerable time and many adjustments in fi-
nancing and taxing procedure to meet the competition,
The Board of Trustees is composed of four classes of membershin;
the ex-officio members, members of the State Board of Agricu.ilture,
members at large, and alumni members. In 1940 the terms of John
Newcomb, Bardstown, r:lember of the State Board of Agriculture; John S.
Cooper, Somerset, Harper Gatton, Madisonvillo, mcm.bers at large;
,,and Jamres Park, alumni member, will expire. Today the results of the
alumni election are reported to the Board and the names of the three
persons receiving the higChest votes, are to be Presented to the Gov-
ernor. Later the vacancies in the Board will be brought to the at-
tention of the Governor for his consideration.

$339.50. The order for Purchase and installing of extinguishers may

8. Rates for Rental of Halls.
President MoVey stated that it is desirable to fix rates for
rental of halls as there is much demand for these halls by organiza-
tions outside the University. He made the following recommendations:
1. For the Alumni Gym, $30.00, providing it is
not necessary to remove or -)lace bleacher
seats, build platforms and locate chairs and
the like, on which actual labor and Materials
will be charged.
2, Mlemorial Hall, $15.00
3. Training School Auditorium, $10.00
4. M4cVey Hall, Room 111, $3.00.
I think we r.may set un these rentals for buildings.

recommended. or in such other amiounts as he deems advisable.

12. Louisville College of Pharmacy.
The question of merger of the Louisville College of Pharmacy
with the University of Kentucky, continued from last meeting of the
Executive Committee,was Dresented by President McoVey. He first re-
ferred to an investigation made by Mr. Hobson as to value of the
propcrty, showing a probable value of from $20,000.00 to $28,500.00.
He further stated that the demand for pharmacists is decreasing to
such extent that nutting a course of pharmacy in the University
would probably prove to be an expense without adequate income, and
that the University is novw unable to assume burdens of added expense.
For those and other reasons he did not recommend the merger.
On motion of Iur, Park, seconded by Aar. Hobson, the President
Was authorized to inform the management of the Louisville College
of Pharmacy that the University of Kentucky is unable to toke over
the Louisvillo College of Pharmacy.

Re:-Usc of Buildings and Grounds Trucks
by University Organizations,
Demands from University organizations for use of our trucks
,tc increasing; examnles of which are as follows: carrying
groups from College of Agriculture on local inspection trips,
transporting children from Training School to various Dlaces
in the country, Y. id. and Y. W. hayrides, Pershing Rifles
to C0.opp Daniel Boone, and nmany others. The practice has been
for these groups to pay the driver and a mileage charge to
the University on trucks. Exceptions are made for trips
during school hours for class work purposes. Trucks are
never used at any tine for hauling other than University
business.
I nlm bringing this matter up due to thc increase in travel
hazards, ds.-rago suits and so on. Personally I am not in
favor of granting this extra service even though it is paid
for by various organizations.
I would like to have your comment and instruction in the
natter.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) M. J. Crutcher

Very truly yours,
