Lexington, Ky:, June 19%, l909.
To the Board of Trustees
of the State UniVercity.
Gentlemen:»
I beg to submit for your condideration the following
report of the condition and work of the State University for the
academic year which 010999 on the 5rd inct. The TBDOTtR of heads
of departments are ddrcwith filed and made a part of this report.
. The SSQSIOH Opened auspiciouglv Thurqday, September 16,
1908, with a good matriculation. The numhoro Pntcred during the
year in the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior clashes do not
difﬁer materially from ihe aggregate reported for the year 1907—8,
in the preceding report. The action of the last.Genera1 Adscmhlv
by which the Normal Department as heretofore existing was eliminated
1 has materially reduced the list of students as compared with that ,
of the preceding year. The shortage will amount to nd. less than
1‘11 students. A condiderahle number of those who would other—
wise have entered the Normal Department entered the Academy, there»
by caucing a considerable increase in its numbers over those of .--
the preceding year, the dirfe rence amounting to ‘73 or 0; per— V A
I
cent. The unrcot in Central and Western Kentucky which has unhappi~
1y introduced into many counties in the Conmmnwoalth regrettable
animositics which will not he extinguished for years, interfered to
_ some extent with the attendance upon the University. Heavy pc—
cuniary loogcc resulting from the disturbed condition of affairs
prevented same, perhaps many, frOm sending their sons and.daughtcrs
hither. Wehther we have reache d the end of these disturbances
remains to be seen. It is to be hoDcd for the cake of the peaceful
development and the good name of the Commonwealth, that they are
now matters of hictor and will not be repeated.
The subsidiary reports of deans of courses of study and
heads of departmentn hhow that the woﬂa done is quite equal to the
, \\ average. Increased facilitied for inctruction and additions made )

by way of assistants to the instructional staff ought to yield
cOmmensurate results. The departnents of Chemistry, of Physics and
of Mathematics have been materially strengthened by additions to
the te aching force. This enables us to reduce materially the
" numbe rs heretofore taught in classes that were too large, to make
them less unwieldy and consequently to oning individual instruction
more frequently to each.nemhers of the class. The mudi needed
provision made for PhysicsandAOivil Engineering by the erection
of the large and cOmmodious building now nearing completion will
relieVe the conge stion of these departments, which had heretofore
been badly housed and uneconomicalﬁy provide d with the material
appliances which make instruction effective. We anticipate ggod
results from these advances and hope to be able to report suhstan~
tial progress along these lines in the future. The facilities
for a growing institution like this are never quite equal to its
requireme nts. We find ourselves now, notwithstanding the build—
ings recently erected, sorely in need of additional facilities by
way of space and equipment for the departments of Mechanical Engi~
he ering, Mining Engineering, and Chemistry.\\A part of the fund ;
provided by the Legislature for additional buildings has heed a3-
plied to the relief of the Mechanical Engineering by a euhstantial
addition, and we are upon the eve of making contracts for the"
buildingtwhich will relieve the necessities of the Department of
Chemistry and of Mining Engineering. These, it is hoped, may be
so rapidly pushed forward that their occupation in the early au— -
tumn will be possible. , 2
hassing from the material conditions set forth in the
preceding paragraph, I may refer in passing to the inconvenience
caused by the untimely removal by death of Prof. Milford white, 5
who was called from us in the maturity of his powers, and his use—
fulness, and Prof. John H. Neville, who passed away in September,
full of years and of honors. These have been already adverted to _3
in previous reports to this Board, but it is a matter of regret ‘ ;

i

disﬁppearhnoe of the boy furnished a welcome pretext, Their readers
would not know, from their silence , whether the editors of these
newspapers are yet aware of the reuappearanoe of the missing boy.

The general behaviour of the students has been commenda—
ble, There are, however, undereurrents of vice, the results of
which are manifest in the low grades made'Mf many of the male
students, as well as in the oountenanoes of the unfortunate youth
who allow themselves to become the prey of intemperete and licen—
tious habits. The allurements presented by many of the saloons in
the town, in the way of free lunch, tempt many a youth from the
habits of sobriety and restraint which he brought with him. The
lax discipline which has obtained in the dormitory and the frequent
absence ﬂown quarters resulting therefrom, when students ought to
be in their room preparing their lessons, or in bed, has tended ’
to encourage these hibits. lntemneranoe, unfortunately, is not
the only vice prevalent among a considerable section of our yolig
men. Many of them have lost considerable sums of money at the
gaging table and in the fero banks found in oonneotion with these
drinking establishments. And still worse, many have heen frequent '
Visitors to other dens of iniquity, where hoth soul and body are
wrecked by lasoivious indulgenoes. How this state oi‘things is to
he remedied is a serious problem and confronts not only this insti—
tution, but all other institutions in the country where large num—
be rs of young people are assenmled and emancipated from tie influ~
enema of home.' Unofficial information comes to me from time to time
which unfortunately I am not able to use, but which if available for
use would result in the exclusion of some and the witholdinr of
degrees irouxotlmro, Except for the leverage whioh information
of this sort provides for individual eduonition, it is sometimes
3 matter oi‘regret to me that I am possessed of it, when I am quite
unAHlo to use it. These conditions are not peculiar to the State
University. I sometimes think, however, that exceptional induee~

institutes and ascociationc and the evidently increasing intelli—
gentle with W?1'i,<‘)il Lyle \r;’};r"i_otlr-: proneqmor—w of tillage, plowing, 3.10me;
and reaping, are discussed, the pccoibiliiies or incincncd income
from intelligent husbandry, especially in the direction of dairy~
ing and cheese making, the incrcnced facilities for trancnortation
of the produce of the soil to reach the host markets. all indicak

a forward movement of a most encouraging kind. The Agricultural

College of the State-3 anilvcrciiv can no ham); to stimulate and to
encourage and to guide these movementc. in the firct place, by
providing the ncccccary education for intelligent discussion of
these Measures, and providing the nececcarv means for their real}
Ization and in the second place, for restraining : [visionary JUnL.

91L ‘:{jzfiivvantum. All c‘ucgaesas in ‘1y,.‘~icult21;—~c no in other lines of induc

trial puwcuit, depends upon an intelligent adaptation of ncanc to
ends, and this the education provided for in the University ado-
quatoly supylioc.

The same iq true of mining cntcrnrice. Succeco in min—
ing is achieved nowadays by the organization of companies with
sufficient capital to carry on the proposed mining Operations,
secondly, by a judicious expenditure in Opening and operating the
mine, thirdly, by economic transportation in order to reach the '
moot available market. These conditions under a well organized
school of mining engine owing can be largely cunnlied in the in—
struction given to mining enginners and mine operators, while the
economic management of corporation funds can be supplied by the
instructions of the clascaroom in economics and sociology. It may .‘
no observed that collegiate in struction in thcce departments of

‘ productive activity are in the main innowctical. This in co, but
a basic laid in sound theory become 8 eminently productive through
an intelligent anglicction of the conditionn upon which all pro—

enterprise
cesses of production/ultimately rest.

1
What is true of agriculture and mining is equally true of
manufacturing and commercial enterprise. The theoretical knowledge
acquired in schools of commerce and in schools for scientific in»
struction as given in relation to the multifarious processes of manu:
facture, provide a good foundation upon which experience and prac—' .
tics may build. All over the Commonwealth, wholesome indications
of a new departure from the old rule of thumb processes which had
obtained for ages and which sufficed for our fathers and grand»
fathers, are manifest. The fierce competition found everywhere
applies with rigorous exactness to the survival of the fittest.
Those that are intelligently and economically conducted succeed.
Others go to the wall. In all these it is manifest that an insti—
tution of high Character and wide scope can take the lead in de—
termining pecuniary results out of all proportion to the suns ex—
pended upon its maintenance. it is to he hoped that within the
next twenty-five years, the Commonwealth of Kentucky will be fully
abreast of other allied commonwealths in the union and that its
record for intelligence and industrial enterprise in all the fields
of production will place it upon a level with the best. The rich
heritage and abundant wealth which it possesses, with the prepotent
energy of the Anglo—Saxon stock from which the bulk of our pOpula—
tion is descended and which when fully awakened to its opportuni~
ties and possibilities must achieve stupendous results, warrant the
anticipation of an era of progress such as our fathers could not
have anticipated. I
To you, gentlemen, has been confided the administration of
a trust whose importance for the present and for the future we
can scarcely overestimate. You are laying the foundations upon
which must be builded the propperity of future years ani of future
generations. A deep sense of responsibility, therefore, ought to .
attach to your management and contnl,of the institution whose
. destinies have heen confided to your care. Men pass away, genera—
tions fade into the distant past, but institutions and the ideals

But through all these variations and through all these changes,
its identity remains the same. May this be true of the State Uni«
vereity of Kentucky and may your name and your influence he indie—
soluhly associated with it ages after you have gone to your test
and your reward.
I have the honor to be, with muci; rear-meat,

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

. We have not had time to go over in detail all of 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 already crowded and it will be necessary to add
additional acoomodations, especially for a food laboratory, soon.

After January first of this year, new duties devolved upon
the Director, as the drug portion of the food law went into effect at

. that time. This nearly doubles the work in the Food Department. 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 of 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.

The research work of the Station has been materially in—
creased and we find that young men graduates of our university 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 approved and we now ask
their adeption:

That the appropriations from the Hatch and Adams Acts, the
incomes from the Fertilizer, Food and Feed Control Wbrk, and Farm,
and any interest accruing from these accounts, be appropriated by the
Board for the use of the Station.

2 ‘ .

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 depart—
ments receive a maximum salary of $200.00 per month or $2400.00 per
year, and that the head assistants receive a maximum salary, in case
of exceptional merit, of $1800.00 per year.

' As will be seen by the schedule below, we have given to
Professors Peter Curtis and German the maximum salary, as they have
been with the station almost since its beginning; the other heads of
departments we have put at $2000.00, with the understanding that
they are to be increased $100.00 per year until the maximum is reach—
ed, and in case of those who have already reached the maximum of
$2000.00, the incmease of $100.00 follows.

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

1908-09 1909—10
