                                    Lexington, Kentucky
                                    November 2, 1927.


Chairman of Board of Trustees
University of Kentucky
c/o Dr. Frank L. McVey
Lexington, Kentucky

Dear Si-r:

     Pursuant to conversation had with Dr. Frank L. McVey,
President of the University, recently, the undersigned is
dressing this communication to you regarding the payment
to me as an ex-service man of the equivalent of room rent
in the dormitory at the University.

     Enclosed is a copy of letter received from the Attorney
General of Kentucky. This letter was received in answer
to a communication addressed to him of recent date by the
undersigned. You will observe that he has merely sent to
me a copy of the letter which he addressed to Mr. G. H.
England on December 28, 1926, in which the points on which
I desire information were fully covered.

     I entered the University as a married ox-service man
at the second semester of the 1926-1927 term. At the time
of entering I requested the adjustment of my rights under
the Ex-Servico Act providing for scholarships, but was
advised at that time by the Dean of Men cat the University
of Kentucky that there was no provision whereby a married
ox-service man, living with his family and attending the
University, could obtain the equivalent in money of the
value of a room in the dormitory. It seems to me I am en-
titled to and I am therefore requesting of you the equivalent
in cash to apply on my room rent at my home that I would be
paying if single and. living in a room at the University
Dormitory.

     When this matter is presented to your Board will you
please advise me of their conclusion in the matter? Trust-
ing I may havc favorable action upon this request, I am, with
highest..regards and esteem for the University,

                           Gratefully yours

                              (Signed) Encil Deen

Dear Sir:

     Your letter of December 11th to the Attorney Goneral
received in which you inquire whother undor tho Ex-Servico
Act providing for scholarships for ox-sorvice men, you
could stay ..t home with your family in Lexington and demand
tho price of a room in the dormitory to apply on rooms in
the city wherc you stay with your f..mily.

     This offico has held that under such circumstances
as you indicate an ox-service man would be entitled to be
paid such an amount as the dormitory rooms would cost him.

                             Yours very truly

     It is my imprcssion that you rcccivc compensation from
the United States Vetcrans Bureau. It is also my undorstand-
ing that the Tetorans Bureau deducts an amount from such com-
pensation. We shall communicate with the Bureau as you have
raised an important question.

                              Very truly yours

Mr. Encil Deen
     155 Maxwelton Court
          Lexington, Kentucky

My dear Mr. Deen:

     Your letter of November 22 to the chairman of the Board
of Trustees was today brought to the attention of the Execu-
tive Committee at its regular monthly meeting. The opinion
of the Attorney General was also presented to the Committee
and the Executive Committee directs me to say that it regrets
very much that it is not in a position to agree with the
opinion of the Attorney General which has been handed to you.

                            Very truly yours

                     (Signed) Wellington Patrick, Secretary

Mr. Wellington Patrick
Secretary Board of Trustees                  -
University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky

Dear Mr. Patrick:

     Mr. Encil Deen has placed in our hands for adjustment
his claim against the University for free room rent, fuel,
light and other fees as provided by the Kentucky Statutes,
Sec. 4636 K-1.  He has also handed us your letter of the 22:i.
inst. in which you refuse payment under the Statute.




 





-8-



     From our conversation with Mr. Deen it seems there is
at this time about Ninety Seven and 50/200 ($97.50) Dollars
due to him from the University. We are writing to see if
you will reconsider and adjust this matter without court
procedure. It is our belief that under the Statute cited
above the University is responsible to Mr. Deen for the
equivalent in room rent at the dormitory and also for certain
other fees. Unless you see fit to take this up with us at
an early date we shall take steps in the court to recover
for Mr. Deen the amount to which we think he is entitled.

                               Yours very truly

                          NICHOL.S, McCARTHY & DUMMIT

My dear Sir;

     I have received your letter of November 30, 1927 re-
garding Mr. Encil Deen.

     The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the
University of Kentucky at its last meeting considered the
matter which Mr. Deen presented and the circumstances were
such that the Executive Committee did not feel that it was
in anyway obligated to make payment to him. I will bring
your letter to the attention of the Board of Trustees at its
next meeting, but I would suggest before filing suit in the
case that you consult the authorities of the University &nd
ascertain gully thvi facts involved.

                                   Very truly yours

                           (Signed) Wellington Patrick
                               Secretary, Board of Trustees

     The last two communications were exchanged after the
meeting of the Committee, but were entered here as a mattor
of completing the record.
