     The xcocutive Commnittee of the Board of Trustees of
the University of Kontucky met in regular session, at 11:00
A.M., July 17, 1918, in the office of the President, with
the following members present: R. C. Stoll, Chairman, R. P.
Ernst, P. P. JohnstzJr., and J. M. Elliston.   President
Frank L. McVcoy and Wellington Patrick, Secretary of the
Board, were also present.

     (1) The meeting was called to order by Chairmhan Stoll,
and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved
as rnodified.  President McVey then made his monthly report
to the Committee.   He stated-that the training of the first
detachment of drafted men had been completed, and that from
a financial standpoint, the University would just about
hold its o;-n; that owing to the fact that work on the bar-
racks had not progressed as rapidly as was expected, the
Kentuc1y Trotting Horse Breeders' Association had agreed to
the extension of the University's contract for the Pair
Grounds for a period of one month.   The Prosident reported
that the building and repair program, as authorized by the
Board, had begun, and that arrangements were being made
for the purchase of equipment for the buildings.; he said
further that the cost of this equipment is likely to run
high owing to the increased cost of materials.

     (2) In his report to the Board the President stated
that the State Treasurer had not transferred to the account
collections of $15 000, and asked What steps should be taken
regarding the matter.   The discussion was to the effect
that Ar. Peak should see the Treasurer and ask for the money.
In event of his failure Mr. Stoll stated that he would see
the State Auditor.

     %3) Regarding the Summor Session, the President said:
"Our Summer Session has done much better than expected.
We have an enrollment of about 160, which is twice the en-
rollment for last year, and the work seems to be progressing
nicely.   Some of the men enrolled in Agricultural Education
under the Sinith-Hughes act have raised the point regarding
the payment of tuitionfor that work, end I shall speak of
this a little later."
