     2. marterly Report of the PResident.    Th.e President made
an infornmal report covering the geiieral situattien at the Un.ivc
sity of Kentucky at the present time.   His repcr-c.-i in sub-,ta- ioe
was a  follows:

        (a) Attendance.  The attendance for the present year
   is as follows:

                   Residence Students ......... 2321
                   Summer Session Students .... 1331
                   Students in Extension Courses
                      for College Credit, inoludl  -
                      ing Correspondence Courses 1 098
        This is an enrollment in all departmren8ts of a little
   over four thousand.   The probable increase for next year
   in residence students will be about two hundred, making a
   total of some twenty-five hundred students.   The problem
   which arises in handling the new students is one of spave
   and room.

        (b) Finances.  The finances of the institution are in
   the best condition that they have been in during the past
   seven or eight years.   The indebtedness at the present time
   is less than it has been.   It is eetimated that we shall
   have a surplus for building of approximately $100,000.    It
   is hoped that a surplus of something like the same amount
   may be available next year.   It this is trbole it will be
   possible for the University to do some building out of its
   own income.

        (c) University Plant.   The University plant is in fair
   condition.   Most of our buildings are old and need con-
   stant repair.   The heating system is in excellent condition.
   we have nine heating plants and in addition, two heating
   plants on the Patterson Hall campus.   This means smoke and
   extra labor.

        (d) Legislation Affecting the University.   At the last
   session of the Legislature a number of measures were passed
   which affected the University.

        1. In the Budget Bill the University received an appro-
  priation of $150,000 distributed over a period of two years
  for the payment of the women's dormitory; $20,000 will be.
  available over a period of two years for the conduct of the
  summer school; $35,375 weas appropriated, olver a period. of two
  years for th e purchase of lend; the usual appropriation of
  $20,000 for the Experiment Station at Princeton and $25,000
  for the Experiment Station at Quicksand were placed in the
  budget.          t  




 





6.



     2. The State Budget Bill introduced by Senator Stephen-a
son has been modified so as to make it workable for the edus
cational institutions of the State,

     3, A Purchasing Bill was passed providing for a Pur-
chasing Cormission and placitg all purchases for all insti-
tutions in the hands of the commission.   The commission is
now in process of organization and will be ready for the
conduct of business by July 1.

     The Inheritance Tax Law was modified.   It did not
change the 1924 Inheritance Tax Law except in the matter of
redistributing the income received under that law.   The new
arrangement gives the University 50%0; Western Teachers Col-
leze 25%-; Eastern Teachers College 12ilo; Morehead and Murray
State Normal each 6r1o.  The income of the University may
be increased in the neighborhood of $100,000 by reason of
tha change.

     A new Certification Bill was passed which is in the
main a recodification of the old certification measure under
which the University of Kentucky has been issuing certifi-
cates for a number of years.

     The Legislature passed the resolution accepting the
Purnell Act of Congress,   This act provides for an appro-
priation of $20,000 for research in Rural Econormics, Soci-
ology And Home Eeonomics.   The Act of Congress provides
that no state will be required to appropriate money, but
must pass an act accepting the provisions of the law,
The last Legislature adopted the measure and *the University
of Kentucky will now receive funds under the Purnell Act.

     (e) Construction of Buildings and Plans for the Grounds.
The first building that should be built will be the Memorial
building.   The money collected for this building has been
available for sometime and building should be started..
The idea at the present time seemrQs to be the construction
of a Memorial Chapel.   The location of such a building is
a matter of some question asnd we ought to determine rather
definitely where the building should be located.

     A library and recitation hall should be built.   Both
are greatly needed.   it is probable that the library should
be built, relieving the situation in the present library
and avoiding the problem of location which we have to de-
termine before building a rccization building.   We could
probably build a section of a projected library of some kind
at an approximate cost of $1C0,000.   The library would re-
lieve congestion and provide for a stack-room for about
75,000 books.   We could use the space vacated by the present

  library reading room for additional recitation rooms.

       If possible we should have some small addition to the
  Art building on Winslow Street.   At the present time there
  is no place available for some excess equipment, packing and
  storing of pictures and materials.

       The roads on the University campus will have to remain
  very much as they are until new plans can be developed..   M~r.
  White, of the University of Illinois, who has been engaged
  to work on plans has made a tentative report and wve are at-
  tempting to study the plans so as to make sure that the
  recommendations are workable.

        (f) Changes in the Board.   The following changes in
  the Board have been made:  Judge Wells has resigned to be-
  come President of the Murray Normal School and his place has
  been filled by the appointment of W. J. Webb of Mayfield.
  Mr. W. H. Grady has been succeeded by Mr. E. B. Webb.    Mr.
  Frank McKee and Mr. Turner have been reappointed, Mr. J. M.
  Finch, of Minerva, succeeds Mr. Lebus.

        (g) Retirement Plans.   The question of retirement
  plans is still a matter for consideration and it is mention-
  ed at this time so that it may be brought to the attention
  of the Board.   (At this point Governor Fields made the
  statement that at his request at the December meeting of the
  Board the question for retirement plans for the University
  had been postponed until after the meeting of the Legislature
  and he suggested that the chairman appoint a committee to
  take the question of retirement under consideration.     A
  motion was made, seconded and carried that such a committee
  be appointed and the Governor appointed the following per-
  sons:  Dr. Edward Wiest, Mr. Louis Hillenmeyer and Mr. E.
  B. Webb.)

     3. Election of a Member of Executive Committee.    The Board
