          An examination of the report will reveal our anticipated
inconse to have been reasonably conservative, and it is expected that
the estimates will be realized. The expenditures and encumbrances of
the various departments and divisions are shown to be less than half
of the departmental appropriations made by the Board of Trustees for
operations of the various departments and divisions during the current
year.

     Experiment Station and Agricultural Extension

          Realized income to the Experiment Station division is shown
to be 56.1% of the budget estimate, and exactly 50% of the budget
estimate for the Agricultural Extension. The expenditures for these
divisions are shown to be 49.5% and 48% respectively of the budget
appropriations,

     Restricted Funds

          The report for the restricted funds shows the status of each
account as to the beginning balance, current balance, receipts and
expenditures for the first half of the current year. There is a com-
bined balance in restricted funds of $1,233,871.61, of which
$856,448.00 is invested.

     Termination of A. S. T. Contracts

          All contracts with the government under the A. S. T.
program have been terminated with the exception of the current con-
tract, which ends January 26, 1946. The federal government spent,
for activating purposes, on integrated and non-integrated property,
a total of $128,426,76, All such property has been purchased through
termination modifications, at a total cost of $19,175.78,

                                   Respectfully submitted

President, University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky

Dear President Donovan:

     I enclose herewith copy of the will of Charles F. Turners
deceased, wherein you will note that he left a collection of cu-
rios and other objects to the University of Kentucky.   I do not
know enough about them to express any opinion whatever as to the
value thereof, but I thought you might be interested In referring
this matter to the proper department of the University, with the
request that delivery of these Items be made at the earliest
possible date,

                                 Most respectfully yours,

Mr. Owen S. Lee
512 Security Trust Building
Lexington, Kentucky

My dear Mr. Lee:

     I am requesting Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain, Dean of the Uni-
versity, to call to talk with you about the collection of cu-
rios and other objects left to the University of Kentucky by
Mr. Charles F. Turners   Dr. Chamberlain will investigate this
collection and recommend what disposition shall be made of it at
the University of Kentucky.   The reason I have not answered
your letter earlier is that !You did not enclose a copy of the
will, and I was unable to determine what was included in the
collection, and just who would be the proper person to assemble
it.

                                        Cordially yours,

                                        (Signed) H. L. Donovan
