ORIGIN, PURPOSES, AND ACCREDITATION
The University of Kentucky, a state-supported institution, is located
at Lexington, an urban community of about 75,000 population. The Board
of Trustees includes the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, and the Commissioner of Agriculture, ex officio, and twelve members
appointed by the Governor, three of whom are alumni of the University
and three, members of the State Board of Agriculture. The University is
one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges, which were
established b·y the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have continued to receive
federal assistance under the provisions of this and subsequent laws re-
lating to the teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and the pro-
vision of agricultural experiment stations and extension services in agri-
culture and home economics.
The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky University
under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865. The purpose
of this plan was to unite sectarian and public education under one organi-
zation. 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 University. In 1878, when the
people of Kentucky decided to establish a state institution of higher learn-
ing, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was separated from
Kentucky University and reestablished on land given by the City of Lex-
ington 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
legislative act.
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 and Home Economics, the College of
Engineering, the College of Law, the College of Education, the College of
Commerce, the College of Pharmacy, the Graduate School, and the Depart-
ment of University Extension.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the University
contributes to the welfare of the state through research, experimentation,
and public service. While all departments make important contributions
along these lines, certain divisions and bureaus have been established spe-
cifically for these purposes. Included in this group are the Experiment
Station and the Extension Division of the College of Agriculture and Home
Economics, the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau of Government

Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as freshmen, as suc
students with advanced standing from other institutions, as graduate stu-
dents, as special students, and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges col
is governed by special regulations. of
Applications for admission to the University should be made to the
Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certified copies of Im
high school credentials and of work done in other institutions should be un
submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance of the registration period.
Failure to file credentials in time for checking before the registration period °f
will delay the student in arranging his program. All admissions, including th'
those to the professional schools and the Graduate School must be passed fu
on by the Registrars Office. Students who come to the University without Sp'
having their admission approved, do so at their own risk. The University
reserves the right to refuse consideration of applications not made before ad
the beginning of the registration period. The University classification tests Eu
must be taken by new undergraduate students before they can be registered °f
for classes. Su
Admission to the Freshman Class
Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will be admitted
to the University on certificate, provided they have at least fifteen units of as
acceptable high school work. A unit represents the study of any subject for pr
a school year of at least thirty-two weeks, with five recitation periods a le,
week. each of at least forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof.
Double periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other hz
courses which demand no out-of-class preparation. One unit is the mini- in
mum credit accepted in any foreign language, and one-half unit the mini-
mum in any other subject.
While the University does not prescribe a pattern of work for admis-
sion, it recommends that at least ten of the units presented be chosen from
English, the social studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the
laboratory sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at tt
least three units in English, one and one—half in algebra, and one in plane
geometry. Should a student lack these courses as prerequisites for any of
his college work, he will be required to take them in college without credit,
thus delaying his graduation. °‘
Applicants who have graduated from unaccredited high schools and T
those not graduated from high school may be admitted as freshmen if, in
addition to presenting the fifteen acceptable units, they successfully pass E
the University classification examinations.
