The Faculty received resolutions on the death of two members of
the University staff: Prof. C. H. Anderson, presented by Dean Shaver.
and Mr. John S. Gardner, presented by Dean Wall. The Faculty voted
apprOval of a motion that these resolutions be included in the minutes
and that a cepy be Sent to the respective families.

Charles Herbert AnderSOn, Professor Emeritus of Engineering
Design of the College of Engineering of the University of Kentucky
died unexpectedly of a heart attack on Tuesday, December 29. 1959.

Professor Anderson was a native of Birmingham, England and
received his education in Canada. Before coming to the University
he was very active in designing and building a variety of Mechanical
Devices. From 1890 to 1898 he was engaged in building steam launches
and ship—loading equipment under his own patents. After that he
worked in developing goldndredging equipment under Russian Sponsor-
ship. He was associated with the Westinghouse Corporation and
the Cincinnati Car Campany in developing railway equipment. He
held many patents and was especially well known for his carburetor
of a special design which attracted widespread attention.

Professor Anderson came to the University in 1919 as a
‘specialist in research on motors. He was given a change of work
status in 1939, but continued in engineering development and design
up to the day of his death. at the age of 94.

He was well liked and admired by all who knew him including
students and fellow faculty members. His continued engineering
activities at such an advanced age were-remarkable. He was a
true scholar, a real gentleman, and will long be remembered by
all his associates who were fortunate to know and work with him.

Therefore. be it resolved that these resolutions be approved
by the Faculty of the University of Kentucky as an expression of
its high esteem and be it further resolved that they be spread
upon the minutes of this meeting, and that a copy be sent to his
surviving sister, Mrs. Edith Palmer, C/O Mrs. Kenneth Loos. 727

John Samuel Gardner was horn on August 23, 1885 at DOylestown,

Ohio, and died on January 12, 1960 at Lexington, Kentucky. He ~
was the oldest of a family of seven children. His father, grand- .
father and greatngrandfather were ministers. and his mother was a ’

teacher. The family moved to Pennsylvania while Mr. Gardner was r
still young, and he attended Philadelphia public schools from 1891

to 1893s Somewhat later he attended public schools in Quakertown,
Pennsylvania, and finished Grammar School there in 1898. During
these early years he spent a large part of them living on a truck
farm near Trenton, New Jersey, and seemingly the experiences gained
during these years played an important part in determining the

course of his life's work.

From 1898 to 1900 Mr. Gardner attended Muhlenberg Preparatory
School and then entered Muhlenberg College at Allentown, Pa., in
1900. In 1904 he was graduated with an A. B. degree and from 1904
to 1907 served as draftsman for the American Bridge Company of
Philadelphia, which was engaged in the construction of elevated
and subway railroads. and the Hudson Terminal tunnel to New York
City. , /

From 1907 through 1913 Mr. Gardner served with the Clinchfield
Coal Company and with the Carolina. Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad,
which Was then being built, and with the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, in the maintenance and strengthening of bridges
on their_Springfield Division System. From 1910 to 1912 he also
served as System Bridge Inspector for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road.

Mr. Gardner entered Pennsylvania State University as a junior
\in 1913 and was graduated there with a B. 8. degree in Agriculture
in 1915. During 1915al9l6 he served as instructor in horticulture
at Pennsylvania State, and in the fall of 1916 received a graduate
fellowship in Horticulture at the University of M15 ssouri. In 1917
he was granted the M A. degree from Missouri.

From 1917 through 1918 he was engaged in vegetable package
survey work. and from these studies came the Federal Packaging Act
In this same Year he was married to Letitia Talmage Seller, who
now survives him,

From 1918 through 1921 Mr.Gardner served as horticulturist
for the Starkey Produce Company which operated a thousand acres
of truck farming area on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware
River, and supervised the insect and disease control work on this
large area.

On April 1, 1921 Mr. Gardner was appointed Extension Horti—
culturist for the University of Kentucky and served in that
capacity until his retirement from active duties on September 1,

1955° /

Mra Gardner started the Seed Potato Certification pregrum in
Kentucky in 1923. He was elected President of the Potato Associ—
ation of America for 1931 and served as a director of that organ— ,

ization from 1931 through 1935.

MINUTES or THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY FEBRUARY 8. 1960 1626

For 34 years. Mr. Gardner played an outstanding part in the de—
velopment of the vegetable industry in Kentucky. As an extension
Horticulturist, he covered every county in the state. and most of this
was done the hard way— by train: by bus- and in certain areas even by
horseback. He appeared before many audiences and over many radio stations
and wrote a weekly vegetable column which was printed in most of the
newspapers in Kentucky. This series ran continuously from 1927 through
1955, and covered about 1300 articles. In addition, he published many
vegetable circulars and was always ready to take an active part in Farm
and Home Convention programs or any worth while venture which would go
toward the betterment of a community.

Since retirement in 1955, Mr. Gardner served in an advisory ca-
pacity in the develoPment of the vegetable projects at the State Penal
Institutions.

Mr. Gardner was a member of Sigma Epsilon Phi, national society
for Extension workers. and also a member of Alpha Zeta. during his
period as a student at Penn State. To those who knew him best he was
a truly remarkable person. His keen intellect, his tremendous desire
to be of help to people, and the ability to express himself were ex-
emplified in so many Valuable ways, and he always found the time. some-
how. to spread the gospel of better varieties and methods of culture
for the vegetable industry.

I wish to reCOmmend that these resolutions be approved by the
Faculty of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics and made a
part of the minutes of this meeting and that a copy be sent to Mrs.
Gardner.

Dean White presented recommendations from the College of Arts and
Sciences for the approval of two new courses in Intermediate Arabic,
which were appreved by the Faculty.

Ancient Languages 242. 243 (new numbers). INTERMEDIATE ARABIC:
Selections from Classical Arabic Authors. (3 each)

Selections from the Classic Arabic Period with such writers
as Ibn Qutaybah. Ibn abduai Rabblhi. and other writers of the
ninth and tenth centuries, A. D. Prereq: AL 248 (41b)

Dean White also presented a recommendation from the College of Arts
and Sciences that ?rank Joseph Schwendeman be reinstated to the University.
Mr. Schwendeman had been dropped twice, once by the College of Engineering
and once by the College of Arts and Sciences. He has a full time job but
wishes to take a course in the Evening Class prOgram. The Faculty apn
proved the reinstatement of Mr. Schwendeman.

Dean Wall presented recommendations from the College of Agriculture
and Home Economics for changes in certain courses in Home Economics, which
Were approved by the Faculty.

At the request of Dr. Scherago, President of the University of
Kentucky Chapter of the American Association of University Professors,
the Secretary read a report from the Committee on University Government
of the AAUP. The report was read to the Faculty for its information
not for action. Copies had been sent to the Governor, the Lieutenant
Governor, the Attorney General, the Speaker of the House, Representatives
frOm Fayette County and Lexington; also to the Deans of the Colleges,
to the President, and to each member of the BOard of Trustees.

The committee has studied the relationships between the
faculty and the Board of Trustees and between the faculty and the
University administration. On the basis of these studies, and a 1951
report of the University of Kentucky Chapter of the American Association
of University Professors, (l) the following recommendations are made.

1. The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky should
be composed of fifteen voting members and one non—voting
member. The fifteen voting members should be the Governor 35
officio as chairman, twelve members appointed by the Governor
and two faculty members elected by the faculty. The Super-
intendent of Public Instruction should be a non~voting member,
ﬁg officio. '

2. The two faculty members should be elected by secret ballot
by all faculty members of the rank of assistant professor or
above, The faculty members should serve for terms of three
years and be eligible for renelection. At least one of the

faculty members should be a member of the Executive Cemmittee
of the Board.

3. The appointed members should serve for terms of nine yearm
with the terms so staggered as to prevent the appointment of

a majority of the members in any four—year period. The ap-
pointed members shOuld be eligible for reappointment.

4. The laws should be so modified as to insure the appointment
of Board members representative of all the basic economic in-
terests of the state, with the proviso that the three members
of the Beard from the alumni of the University continue to be
chesen as at present.

5. A Board member should be removable only for cause, after
written charges have been made against him, with the member
having a right of appeal to the courts.

6. A faculty committee, elected by the faculty, should confer
periodically with a committee of the Baard of Trustees con—
sisting of the two faculty members and at least one other
member.

7. -This faculty-committee should advise periodically with the
President on general University policy. The members of this
committee should be members of the COuncil of Deans.

2g Kentucky, Report and Becommendationsi Lexington, 1951.
This report is too long for reproduction here, but copies
of it are available in the office of the President of the
University and the G0vernor of the Commonwealth.

8. In each college there should be a committee or committees to
advise with the Dean on matters of appointments, promotions. and
salary increases; the methods of selection of such committees should
be determined by the faculty of each college.

9. Appropriations for capital outlay for buildings for the
University should be subjected to standard budgetary procedures.

10. The Constitution of Kentucky should be changed so as to provide
in general terms for the establishment and support of the University
of Kentucky, the terms of members of the Board of Trustees. and the
government of the University by the Baard, subject only to the
availability of funds and the auditing of University accounts by

the state government.

The first three recommendations of this report are based on
recommendations of the 1951 report, with only one substantial
change; namely, we are recommending that the two members elected
by the faculty be voting (rather than nonavoting) members of the
Board.

We believe recommendations (4>u(5),(9)and<10) of the 1951
report are still sound and should be put into effect, but reference
is made to it (2) for their justification.

We recommend that at least recommendations one, two, four,
and five be enacted by the 1960 session of the General Assembly.

The Honorable Arthur S. Fleming. U. S. Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare. himself a former university president, has
said, "I believe that our institutions of higher learning should
be organized so as to make the faculty the most influential group
in the governing of our colleges and univoggities.” (3)

P. 407. one of about a dozen American Universities that have such
board members, has said of such faculty representation. ”...

whereas before the plan went into effect, the president had been
virtually alone in presenting the academic point of view at meetings
of the board, he was now to be joined by others whose standards of
judgment would be much the same as his." The same professor stated
that faculty membership on the board alone was not enough, but that
if other means of faculty participation were provided "faculty repre—
sentation on the board of trustees... w0u1d afford an additional
Opportunity for the exchange of views between trustees at large and
representative members of the faculty," (4)

better communication between the Board of Trustees and the faculty.
We believe that such communication would be facilitated by at least
two voting faculty members on the Beard. Their power to vote, we
believe, would be the mast effective means of expressing their views
to other Board members. to the faculty. and, perhaps to the public
at large. We also believe that at least one of the faculty members
should be a member of the Executive Committee.

Since it seems desirable to keep the number of voting members
of the Board as small as is reasonably possible, we recommend that ,
(l) the Superintendent of Public Instruction be a nonnvoting member
and that he and the Governor be the only Eg‘officio members. or in
the alternative that (2) the Commissioner of Agriculture, Labor and
Statistics and the Superintendent of (4). F. G. Marcham, "Faculty
Representation on the Board of Trustees." Bulletin 2: the American
AssociatiOn of University Professors, Vol. 43, December, 1959, pp,

Public Instruction be made non-voting members.

We concur in the opinion that Board members should be appointed

for staggered terms of nine years. A 1952 study (5). showed that

in almost two—thirds of the state institutions of higher learning

the average length of terms of board members is five and oneohalf
years. The present fouruyear term of members of the University of
Kentucky Board of Trustees enables each Governor to appoint all of

the members. Ninewyear staggered terms could be so arranged that

no Governor during his four—year term could appointa majority of *
the appointed members.

We believe that, in addition to faculty membership on the Board

of Trustees, there should be a faculty liaison committee of three

or five members, elected by the faculty, which would have regular
conferences with a committee of the Board of Trustees consisting

of the two faculty members and at least one other member. Various
members of the BOard might act alternately as members of this com-
mittee. as different subjects were discussed or merely to suit the
convenience of the members. Such facultyutrustee committees exist

at forty-three Universities; fifteen of them are conference commiﬁnes

We also believe that there is need at the University of Kentucky
for better communication between the University administration and
the faculty. Thirty of the fortyasix state universities on which
data are available have faculty committees which advise the President
or Dean on important policy matters. We believe that there is no
better method of communication between faculty and-administration
than through a faculty liaison committee. We. (5). Council of

recommend that the faculty committee which confers with the committee
from the Board of Trustees, or a similar one. have regular conferemws
with the President on University policy, and that the members of ﬁﬁs
committee also sit with the Council of Deans in their various de—
liberations. We also-believe that within each college c0mmittees
shOuld be elected by the faculty, or with faculty consent be appoinﬂd‘
by the Dean, to advise the Dean on appointments, promotions. and
salary increases.
