_ FRANK L. McVEY, Ph.D., LL.D., L.H.D., President I
’ WHAT IS A UNIVERSITY?
7 "A University is a place; it is a spirit. It is men of ·
learning; it is a collection of books; it is 1aboratories`
where work in science goes forward; it is the source of the "
- I
teaching and beauties of literature and the arts; it is the I
;" center where ambitious youth gathers to learn; it protects
I the traditions, honors the new and tests its value; it `
  believes in truth, protests against error and leads men by
E reason rather than by force." U

 THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban v
community of about 57,000 population. It is a state—supported institu- A
tion operated under the direction of a board of trustees of fifteen
members. The membership of this board includes the Governor, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Commissioner of Agri-
cultu1·e, ex officio, and twelve members appointed by the Governor,
three of whom are alumni of the University and three, members of the
State Boa1·d of Agriculture. The University is one of a number of
· institutions known as land-grant colleges which were established by
the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have continued to receive federal
assistance under the provisions of this and subsequent laws relating
to the teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and to the pro-
vision of agricultural experiment stations and extension services in
agriculture and home economics.
The University of Kentucky is a fully accredited institution. It
is on the approved list of the Association of American Universities and
holds memberships in the following organizations: The Southern
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the American Council
on Education, the National Association of State Universities, the
Association of Ame1·ican Colleges, the Association of Land-Grant Col-
leges, the Association of Ame1·ican Law Schools, the American Asso-

The major function of the University is that of instruction. For
the performance of this function it is organized into the College of
Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture, the College of Engineer-
ing, the College of Law, the College of Education, the College of Com-
merce, the Graduate School, and a Department of University Exten-
sion. Residence instruction is given through two semesters of eighteen
weeks each, and through two summer terms of five weeks each.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the Uni-
versity contributes to the welfare of the state through research,
experimentation, and public service. While all departments make im-
portant contributions along these lines, certain divisions and bureaus
have been established specifically for these purposes. Included in this
group are the Experiment Station and the Extension Division of the
College of Agriculture, the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau
of Government Research, the Bureau of School service, the Bureau
of Source Materials, the Personnel Bureau, the Publicity Bureau, the

4 The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni- 1
H versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865.
  The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public education ,
  under one organization. This experiment was tried for a number of ·
  years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized under the Morrill {
  Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanic arts in Kentucky j
  University. In 1878, when the people of Kentucky decided to estab- 2
  lish a state institution of higher learning, the College of Agriculture 1
  and Mechanic Arts was separated from Kentucky University and re- I
  established on land given by the City of Lexington and the County of {
  Fayette. Thirty years later the legislature changed the name of the _
  institution to the State University of Kentucky, and gave it additional
  financial support. In 1916 the name was again changed, this time
  to the present title, and additional maintenance was arranged by I
  legislative act. y
