The Executive Committee

University of Kentucky

Gent l emen:,

On December 30, 1919 I obtained from iir. Carr, Assistant
Secretary of State at Frannkfort, for record, the followinq informa-
tion regarding the appointment of the members of the Board of Trustees
of the University, under act of the General Assembly, ap-roved March
26, 1918.

On April 27, 1918 Mr. J. I. Lyle, Mr. Robert G. Gordon, Senator
Froman and Judge R. C. Stoll were appointed for a period of six years,
making their terns of office expire on January 1, 1924.

On April 27, 1918 Mr. P. P. Johnston, Senator R. P, Ernst, Mr.
Rainey T. Wells and Mr. J. R. Rash were appointed for a period of six
four years, making their terms of office expire January 1, 1922.

On April 27, 1918 Mr. J. W. Tuiner and Mr. J. M. EEllison wire
appointed for a period of two years. On MIay 15, 1919 Mr. W. H. Grady
was appointed for a period (if two years. Sometime during the year
1919, Mr. Frank McKee was appointed for a period of two years. T-he
terms of of fice of this gi oup expired January 1, 1920.

I received a letter from the Governor dated February 27, 1920,
stating that he had reappointed James Vt. Turner, Frank McKee and T. L.
Hornsby for a period of six years. The same year Mr. W. Rl. Grady was
reappointed to represent the Alumni for a period of six years. The
terms of office of tlis'group now expire January 1, 1926. Mr. Hornsby
wfrs z~z:e.;tYd toi;iio)e-d Mr. Elliston.

It will be noted that in accordance with the act, eawt p
has one member from the Alumni of the University, one member from the
State Board of Agriculture, and two members from the State at large,
one supposedly from each of the dominant political parties.

It will be noted that our record agrees with the statement of Mr.
Vaughan, Secretary of State, attached hereto, with the exception of
Mr. Wells. But Mr. Wells has already served four years so that eues-
tion could not be raised now even if Mr. Vaughan's statement of the
record is correct.. I take it that this part of the Governor's re-
cord is incorrect. The appointments to be made at this time, there-
fore, are successors to Senator Ernst, MIr. WNells, Mr. Rash and Mr.
John st on.

Very truly yours

Mr. Wellington Patrick

University of Kentucky

Dear Sir:

Upon careful reading of Chapter 42, Acts of 1918, I have the follow-
ing understanding of the method by which the Board of Trustees of the
University is made up:

On wit after Maroh 26, 1918, th& date the Act referred to became
effeotivo, the Board shall be made up of 15 menbers, 3 of whom are
members ex-afficio - the Governor9 Sunerintendent of Publio lastrue-
tion and Gommissioher of Agriclture. The other 12 members, appoint-
ed by the Governor, arie divided into 3 groups. the first group is
appointed for 2 years; the second, for 4 years; the third, for 6
years. Each group shall consist of four appointive members. In
making up the personnel of each group one member shall be a member of
the State Board of Agriculture; one chosen from the Alumni and the
other two shnal be distinguished citizens of the Commonwealth and
shall be chosen ..eaqivtir o 1 .oautnzae p~litii al'arties.

There is also a provision in the Act reouiring that: the first
group shall serve until January 1920, the second group until January
1922, and the third group up-til January 1924, or until after their
successors are appointed, After the expiration of the terms of all
the foregoing, appointments shall be made for a term of six years.

The lxeoutive Journal showes that on April 27, 1918, the Governor
Maade the followin.g appointments of members of the Board of Trustees
for the University-

H. M. F roman
J Lyle
R. C. Sto 1l
R. G. Gordon

These four were appointed for a sil-year term, whioh means9 of
course, that they shall serve till Januoary 1924, or until their sue-
cessors are appointed

The Journal of this same date shovs the following appoiantll.Bs

jsmes Rash
Pe P. Johnstoa
R P. Ern st

These three were appointed for a four-year term-, which means
until January 1922., or until their successors are appointed. I do
not understand why the Governor did not appoint four members in tbis
group for a four-year term until January 1922.

The Journal of the same date shows the following appointments:

Je M, Elliston
I'ainey T. Wells
J. W. Turner

These thrbe were appointed tar a twe-year term, which means until
January 1920, or until their sucoessors are aonointed. I do nt.t
Understand why the Governor did not appoint four members in ths group.

The last order or record of any kind of business transacted by
the Governor in the year 1918, whether appointments of notaries
public, remissions of fines, pardons, respites, or commutations, or
any other kind of business, so far as the Executive Journal discloses,
was on November 20, 1918,

There is one order dated January 1, 19)9, showing the appointment
of Ben D. Ringo as a member of the State Ta;: Ccmmission. There is
no other Executive order of any kind so far as the Journal shows until
April 1, 1919, on which day, it appears, the Gcverncr appointed Nat B.
Sewell as a member of the Wrklmen s Comrensation Board. After that
order no entry swas mosae on the Executive Journal until1 May 19, 1919,
the day Lieutenant Goveriior Black became CovernlorH and the last order
made on Governor Black's Executive Journal was Y-c'7ember 15, 1919.

I call attention 'to the foregoing la:. of restcr:l cal the Executive
Journals to suggest the possibility that other members of the University
Board may have been appointed by the Governor, but no record of same
oan be found on the Executive Joir nal.

The Executive Journal of December 18, '919, recites that the
Governor on that day appointed James T1. Turner and Frank W. McKee to
succeed themselves, and T. L. Rornsby to succeed J. M. Elliston. The
order further recites that these three mnen were appointed for the
term beginning January 1, 1920 and ending December 31, 1925.

The Exeoutive Journal of March 18, :921 recites that the Governor
on that day appointed R. J. Bassett as a member of the State Board of
Agriculture to succeed James R. Pash, whose term expired March 1, 1921,
The order also says that the said Bassett will hold the said office
for the term prescribed by law.

It appears that there is scme tangle in these matters. All I
carn do to aid you to untangle them is to furnish you the facts as shove
by the record here, and I have done this as clearly as I know how,
Although the Journal shows that Mr. Wells is appointed for a two-year
period, M4r, Wells informs me that his commission recites that he was
appointed for four years.

If there is anything further I can do to aid you in clearing up
this matter I will be glad t o do so.

Very truly yours

Secretary of State

(12) Resolution of Mari on Courty Farm Bureau on Seed and Ferti lizer
Control. The following resolution from Marion County Farm Bureau was presented
and ordered inoorporated in the minutes.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Marion County
Farm Bureau at the county agent's office on January 2, 1922, the
following resolution was adopted:

Whereas, the Board of Directors of the Marion County farm
Bureau has given consideration to the information given 1b the
county agent as to the proposal to remove from the Experiment
Station the feed, fertilizer, and pure seed control work and the
junior agricultural club work, it is the belief of the Board of
Directors that such action would be against the interest of the
farmers of the State, and that it would also cripple the tork
of the Experiment Station.

Whereas, the above work has become so well established as a
part of the plan of operation of the Experiment Station and has
met with the approval of the farmers of the State and the general
public, such change would entail the expenditures of considerable
money for eouipmewt and will very likely lessen the protection now
given the Trrmers.

T.he Board hereb directs the Secretary to send a copy of this
resolution to our county representative, J. E. Bickett, and our
Senator, Frank Daugherty, also a copy to Dean Cooper, opposing any
such action that will result in the change of administration of
this work.

On motion, the Seoretary of the Board was instructed to aoknowledge
receipt of the communication and express appreciation of tbe Executive
Conmittee for the attitude of the Marion County Fain Bureau.
