El ROLLWENTS

     In a recent report made by the Division of Teacher Training ant
Certification in the State Department of Education, the director,




 




PI



Dr. R. E. Jaggers, has set forth some interesting figures regard-
ing the attendance of students during the year l%97-38.   In this
report there is a table in which the University is shown as hav-
ing 4741 full time and part time campus students enrolled. West-
ern State Teachers College is shown with ,771; Eastern State
Teachers College, with 1,912; Muhrray, with 1,026; and Morehead,
with 1p02.   The total enrollment of these five Institutions is
12,452,   Mr. Jaggers' report sets forth also the enrollment in
private four-year colleges for the same period.   These figures,
not including the University of Louisville, bring their total to
5,188.   The number of students enrolled in private junior col-
leges is 1,857, making the total enrollment of college students
19,497.   The University of Louisville did not give roll by college
levels, but total roll in that institution was 1,843.

     The figures given above do not include what are called "off
campus enrollments."   Many of these institutions carry on corres-
pondence courses and extension classes.   The University of Ken-
tucky had 1,015 such enrollments; Vtestern, 1,167; Eastern, 994;
Lbrehead, 120; Murray, 155.   The private four year colleges had
extension enrollments of 574.   There is still another figure
which is brought into enrollments -- what is known as ca-um.pus
schools,   This enrollment was 978 in the University; at Western
285; at Mlurray, 199; at Morehead, 204; at Eastern, 155; a total of
1821.   The enrollment  in training schools in private four year
colleges for the twelve institutions appearing in the table was
4,198.   If all of these student relationships are taken into con-
sideration, the University had 7,734 enrollments in the various
schools and extension activities.


COMENTS ON SALARIES

     In the legislative session 1936 there was appropriated for
the general maintenance of the University for the biennium the sum
of 8660,000.   In the session of 1938 the legislature appropriated
for the same purpose $775,000.   Thiose amounts are not specifically
for given items -- the designation in the budget is "for mainten-
ance of the colleges."

     According to the University records, there was paid in the
academic year of 1936 for salaries in the colleges, not including
those paid for administration and the department of Buildings and
Grounds, the surm of $767,400.  For the year 1937-38 for salaries
in the field of instruction, there was paid the sum of $904,640.
It will be seen, therefore, that the University has paid in sal-
aries for instructional purposes a sum larger than that received
from the State for general maintenance.

     In 1937 sixty-five persons received an increase in pay over
that given them in 1936 in the sum of $8,257.50.    In 1938,91 per-
sons received Increases in salary over that received in 1937,
amounting to $28,848,    In 1939, 78 persons received increases in
salary over that received in 1938, amounting to   21l,210.




 








     This salary increase was made in the lower brackets of in-
struction.   It Is9 also interesting to note the number of assis-
tants employed in the various departments during the past three
years.   In 1937 there were 65 assistants, 9 of whom received
$200; 4, $300; 24, $400; 24, $500; 4, $2600.  In 1938 the same
number of assistants were employed, but distributed differently --
2 received $200; 4, $300; 22, $400; 31, $500; 6k $600.    In 1939,
67 assistants were employed -- 6 at $200; 6 at o300; 17 at 8400;
31 at $500; 7 at $600.   In addition, there were student assistants
in the Library and College of Engineering who received Wl3,600 in
1938, and will. receive $13,000 in 1939-40. These figures are giv-
en for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the Board and
the various readers of this report the way in which salaries of
members of the staff have been handled.

     A salary out was made in 1932-33 cand this reduction has never
been restored.   However, it is only fair to say that the reduction
made at that time was,on the whole, smaller than was made in many
institutions.   At the present time the University of Wisconsin is
undergoing considerable 'difficulty in the matter of retaining its
previous appropriations.   The College of the City of New York has
recently had a considerable reduction, amounting, according to the
press, to 20% in salary cuts.    I am presenting this report because
of various comments made at different times upon the action of the
University and the failure of its administration to provide ade-
quate salaries to meet the rising costs of living in the community.
The facts are that the country is in a period of depression and
has been for eight years.    It is difficult to forecast the future,
but undoubtedly, with increasing demands now being made for old-age
pensions and other security procedure, education will have to con-
tend with a new series of forces for the money that is available
for educational purposes.


REORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC

     From time to time attention has been called to the work going
on under a grant made by the Carnegie Corporation for the study of
community music in this State.    The Corporation provided $10,000
for a period of one year.   We are now in the second year, end I
am informed that the money will be ravailable for a third year for
the continuance of the work and final report on the work that has
been done.   The first year was devoted to a study of the music sit-
uation here on the campus of the University: how was the Department
organized -- what were its strength and weaknesses -- how did it
meet the needs of the studunts -- what were its objectives and
gloals -- how could it meet the demands maLl6 upon it for teachers
of music in the public schools? A good many conferences and meet-
ings have been held during the past two years, and now a specific
recommendation can be made relative to the reorganization of the
Department of Misic in the University of Kentucky.    The new organ-
ization provides for better coordination of courses, more careful
supervision of students, and the extension of functions of the
Department to include some work out in the State.    There will be
recommended at this meeting some changes in the budget, and the




 




4



appointment  of Dr. Alexander Capurso aC Executive Director of the
Department, and the continuance of Professor Lampert as Head,   In
past years the applied music has been provided by instructors em-
ployed on the fee basis.   The proposal for next year is to place
instructors on a salary basis and the University to charge a fee
for applied music.  Out of all this it is hoped that we may have
more effective instruction in applied music and better direction
of it.

     During this year Professor van de Wall has extended the work
on the campus and in the State and he has found considerable in-
terest in community music.   Many of the groups need some assistance,
and it is hoped there will come to them voluntary leadership that
will be effective and bring a new interest in music in the commun-
ity.   In this connection it may be said that the Department of
Music hopes to inspire those who work in the Department, so that
they will carry a real enthusiasm back into the community in
which they will live, and in that way may aid in providing  emotion-
al outlet.


CHILD GUIDANCE SERVICE

     Five years ago the young women of the Junior League or Lexing-
ton became interested in child guidance.   They felt that there
was a distinct need for a service of this kind in this community
and that something should be done to provide it.   To that end they
have appropriated from the funds which they have raised from year
to year, a sum of $2,000 annually.   This fine service has been
going on now under the auspices of the Junior League for the past
five years.   The department of Psychology of the University of
Kentucky has been asked to sponsor the Work with the Junior League.
Dr. Graham B. Dimmick was appointed director of this service, Dur-
ing these years the Child Guidance Service has served a considerable
number of agencies, and has been particularly helpful in solving
a number of difficult and important problems.   In the five years
beginning September 1934 the service has dealt with 1058 cases. In
the past eight months the Service has had 177 cases referred to it,
and of this number 124 were given careful consideration and exam-
ination.   This by no means covers all the work that has been done.
Most of these cases have come from Lexington and Fayette County.

     In his report the Director of the Service states that it is
not reasonable to suppose that the Junior League will assume all
the expense indefinitely.   It is now recommended that an executive
committee be appointed, one of whom shall be a representative of
the University of Kentucky,   The University is asked if it cannot
support the Service to the extent of $1,000 with the League provid-
ing the remainder of the sum.   There is reason why the University
may very well do this -- it gives the Department of Psychology an
opportunity the equal of which is not to be found south of the
Mason and Dixon Line.   A good many pgradun.te students have come to
the University for the purpose of receiving instruction and train-
ing under the Child Guidance Service.   It has been a great help
in providing important and adequate training in that field.

THE SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM

     A good deal of legislation has been enacted by Congress aid by
the states dealing with social Latters.    In addition, the State
of Kentucky is endeavoring to reorganize its welfare work and
bring into that work a larger number of trained gwsons. The Uni-
versity is being asked for recommendations for positions of this
sort, and they can not be adequately filled without some training.
For a number of years the Univorsity has attumoted to mokc pro-
vision for the preparation of workers in the field of social work.
However, it has been found that if the University is to retain its
accrediting in that field, it is necessary to do something very
different about it.   The Department of Social Work was authorized
by the Board of Trustees and instruction begun in that field last
September.   To receive accrediting by the Association of Schools
of Social Work a field laboratory must be provided.   To that end
arrangements have been made with the County Judge of Clark County
and other officers of Clark County, to set up a labhratory where
students at the University may get actual case work and supervision
of the social Drograia.  It is fortunate that so sympathetic an
officer as Judge Lindsey is willing and anxious to provide ef-
fective and adequate training for young people seeking experience
in social work.   As a matter of fact, the University is under an
obligation to provide well-trained persons who can fill these posi-
t ions, as well as to provide employment for students in such
fields.


VISUAL AIDS PROGRAM

     The Department of University Extension has been called on now
for a number of years for help in the fields of visual instruction.
High schools are very anxious that an adequate film library shall
be established at the University of .Kentucky, the schools, of course,
paying for the costs of transportation.    It is rather interesting
to observe the way in which this service has been received.    The

increase in the number of films in 1936-37 over the previous year
was 117% and the increase in 1937-38 was 307%.    Thi's year from
July to January the increase has been 924.    According to the report
of the Department the total attendance upon the reels shown in
January to Decerfber 1938 was 75,263.   The budget of this year
carries $1000 for the purchase of further equipment for the Depart-
ment,   The Department, however, is askingr that the funds which
come in from rentalw of films be used to reT)urchasc films that be-
come worn out and no longer satisfactory for distribution.

     These matters which I have been discussing up to the present
point hayc been extra-curricular activities, but they indicate the
extent to which the University is called upon from time to time
to meet the needs and hopes of the people of the State,

THE BUILDING PROGRAM

     It is impossible to go into the many activities of the Uni-
versity on the campus itself, but in the remaining space !w ant to
call attention to the last building program.   The Biological Sci-
ences Building is fairly on its way toward completion and probably
may be put down as about 6-% completed.   Since the Board met in
April an application was made to the PWA for an increase in funds
for the Home Economics Building, and by using the $60,000 avail-
able for the purchase of scientific equipment due July 1, it will
be possible to complete the building as originally planned.    When
this building is erected the University will have completed its
present building program.   It might be well to rest, take stock
and try to adjust departments, students and faculty to the changes
brought about by new construction.


THE %. GARET VOORHIES HAGGIN FUND

     The expenditure of the Haggin Funds has been under discussion
and the hope for the plans now formulated is that they shall be
sound and effective.   It will be recalled that provision was made
for the payment of fellowships and scholarships in the Graduate
School, which is an annual charge. Provision was made also for
the building and remodeling of the radio station and studios located
here at the University.   Some money wras set up to carry out a
study of the statutes of the State of Kentucky to provide for the
publication of various books, pamphlets and papers of a scientific
or literary nature, and bring to the University campus speo"kers
distinguished in the arts and sciences.    Some progress has been
made in all those matters, and an editorial board has been set up
and a sub-committee appointed consisting of Dean Wiest, Dean Funk-
housor and Professor Farquhar.    The President as a menber of all
committees will also have a place in the activities of this edi-
torial group, and not only to pass upon manuscripts, but oalso pro-
vide satisfactory format, paper and the like, so that the books
will be a credit to the author and to the University.


     4. Financial RE2orts.

     The Business Agent presented financial reports for the months
of March and April, 1939.   After the President made statements
from the reports; the reports being cumulative, the April report
was ordered recorded in the minutes.    It is copied as follows:

                                     Inlay 30, 1939


    Professor C. H. Anderson
    University of Kentucky

    My dear Professor Anderson:

         In the minutes of the Board of Trustees for Sep-
    tember, 1937, appear two letters, one addressed to me
    by Dean Graham stating that it is desirable for the Uni-
    versity to purchase the equipment that he had brought
    together and that it might be possible to pay for this
    out of PWA funds.   He approves in this letter the pur-
    chase of the equipment.   Another letter appears in the
    minutes under date of July 8, 1937, enumerating the
    various tools and instruments which you have and will
    sell to the University.   The amount is $2,658.    Upon
    receipt of these communications the Board voted that
    the purchase of the tools named in the above communica-
    tion was approved and payment was ordered made from
    PWA funds, payment of which was su'bJect to the approval
    of the PWA director of the state.

          In view of the fact that the PWA authorities did
    not approve of this expenditure, it will be necessary
    for the University to make some other arrangement for
    the payment of it, and I will present the matter to
    the Board at its next meeting.    You may be sure that
    payment will be made.

                              Very truly yours,


                                   (Signed) Frank L. McVey
                                            President of the
                                               University


     This purchase of the equipment is considered proper and ad-
visable, but on account of insufficient funds in this year's
budget, on notion and se
