DR. OTIS A. SINGLETARY
` President, University of Kentucky
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
. . . The State ls Our Campus
Located in Lexington, an urban community of over 140,000 population in
the heart of Kentucky’s famed Blue Grass region, University of Kentucky is a
state-supported, land—grant institution which celebrated its centennial year in
1965.
The present school, which this fall expects 27,000 students and now offers
instruction in 10 academic colleges plus a Graduate School and a Community  
College system of 13 centers, had its beginnings in 1865 when it was established
as a part of old Kentucky University. This action by the State Legislature united
sectarian and public education under one organization for the first time. Federal
funds authorized under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and g
mechanical arts within KU and, in 1878, A8cM College was separated from KU
to become a separate state institution on the general site of what is now the
706 acre main campus. Name changes in 1908 and 1916 resulted in the title by
which the school is now known.
It is fully accredited in its respective colleges and departments by all of the
major professional societies and educational organizations.
President of the University is Dr. Otis A. Singletary, 47, who came to Lex- (
ington this year from the University of Texas, Austin, where he was executive
vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Dr. Singletary, who is eighth president of the University, served a total of
eight years at Texas, progressing during seven (1954-61) of those years from
instructor to professor, associate dean of Arts and Sciences and assistant to the
president. Then for five years (1961-66), he was chancellor of the University of
North Carolina, although he was on leave from October 1964 to january 1966
to serve as director of the job Corps, Office of Economic Opportunity.

_ Athletics Association. l
I The program is conducted without overemphasis or sacrifice of educational l
` objectives and in strict compliance with the rules of the University, the South- (
eastern Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. I

I   MEMORIAL
' Kentucky's athletic complex off Cooper Drive was named "The Bernie A.
Shively Sports Center" in ceremonies last April 26 in memory of the distin-
T guished `Wi1dcat director of athletics who died of a heart attack at his home
December 10, 1967.
- l Shively joined the Kentucky staff in 1927 as football line coach, following
? a brilliant athletic career at Illinois. An A11—American as a blocking guard for
Red Grange, he also was Big Ten heavyweight wrestling champion and a track
E standout.
l In 1933, he was appointed head of the UK Physical Education Department,
5 and five years later became director of athletics. He continued coaching until
f 1946, handling football, track and baseball at various times.
i Under his leadership, Kentucky greatly expanded and improved its physical
facilities and developed a fine athletic program.

HARRY C. LANCASTER
Director Of Athletics
The appointment of Harry C. Lancaster as director of athletics at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky last December was hailed as a most appropriate move, as
well as a fitting reward for a person who has given more than a quarter century
of dedicated service to the University.
Furthermore, there was no doubt that Lancaster was fully capable of filling
the vacancy left by the death of longtime director of athletics Bernie A. Shively.
One of the first big tasks facing Lancaster after he was named acting director
of athletics Sept. l was picking up the reins of administrative leadership, which
he did with ease, thanks to the respect of colleagues, players, associates and per-
sons with whom he had come in contact during a long and productive career of
coaching and teaching.
The next challenge was to obtain a football coach to replace Charlie Brad-
shaw, who resigned unexpectedly. Lancaster and his screening committee worked
long and hard to come up with a choice—_]ohn Ray—which stirred the iniagina- i
tion of people throughout Kentucky.  
Lancaster kept expanding beyond his role as nationally known assistant to l
basketball's winningest coach Adolph Rupp and near season’s end turned over i
the Wildcat freshman coaching reins to joe Hall and announced he would step `
down as assistant coach, thus ending one of the most successful coaching combi- ,
nations in the nation. i
6 l

 His association with Rupp began after he was discharged from the U.S. Navy l
as a lieutenant (sg) in 1946 and has been one of mutual respect and harmony. l
Rupp, who always prides himself as one who "surrounds myself with the best  
people for the job at hand," made Lancaster a full assistant in 1948. During the l
two previous years, the youthful veteran had busied himself by serving as part-  
time assistant while carrying on teaching duties and studying for a master's de- l
( gree.  
, The dual duties, plus extra studies, were second nature to Lancaster, who ,
had served as assistant football and basketball coach at Georgetown College  
1 (1932-33) and Paris High School (1933-34), head basketball coach at Bagdad ~
  High School (1934-36) and principal and coach at Gleneyrie High School l
(1936-42) and physical education instructor at UK in 1942. He was to continue 1
that trend of carrying extra loads, serving as UK’s baseball coach for 17 seasons  
prior to relinquishing the post following the 1965 campaign and teaching a physi-  
cal education class during the past 18 years. (
Basketball was his forte, however, and he became recognized as one of the 1
game’s master strategists and designer of offenses and defenses to lit certain  
situations. ln addition to coaching Rupp’s freshman teams, he has always been  
at the side of the "baron" during the heat of battle. In his own right, Lancaster `
has traveled extensively and received a signal honor when he was invited to `
prepare the Greek National Basketball Team for the 1968 Olympics. A six-week
tour in Athens was cancelled when Lancaster was asked to stay home and serve
as acting athletics chief of staff. `
Traveled To Greece In 1951
Lancaster had traveled to Greece in the summer of 1951 on a special ath-
letic assignment for the U.S. State Department. The mission called for him to
act as an advisor to Greek Basketball Federation officials in Olympic procedures
. and other matters. He also conducted numerous clinics and coaching schools and
S gave public lectures on the cage sport. During the summer of 1962, he helped
_· Coach Rupp conduct clinics for Army personnel in the Far East Theater and
worked with Rupp on the team’s Middle East Tour in 1966 and a clinic in
; I Germany in the summer of 1967.
_ It is ironic that Lancaster gained greatest fame in basketball, since he
F always considered himself a better football player. He was an all-conference
( halfback for three straight years and captain during his last two seasons at
_ Georgetown College and also played semi-pro ball in Louisville and Cincinnati.
{ His success on the basketball court was equally great, however, as he earned three
all-conference nominations and two team captaincies. As a coach, he has guided
_ 1 Kentucky yearlings to 204 victories, against only 57 losses, against formidable
l competition that included the more elite junior college clubs and top-notch
_ ; service teams during the past 18 seasons. He posted respectable records as a base-
, ball coach and gave the school its winningest seasons in history by posting
) Y identical 18-8 marks in 1959-1960.
F A native of Paris, Ky., Lancaster attended Paris High School, where he
) lettered in football, basketball and baseball under Coach Blanton Collier. At
_ Georgetown College, he was president of Kappa Alpha Social Fraternity and the
  Student Body during his senior year.

Coach john Ray brings to the University of Kentucky a record of winning,
a reputation as one of the top football minds in the business and a three-fold
goal: Get UK in the Top Ten national ranking, win the Southeastern Confer-
ence and participate in a bowl game.
A unanimous choice of the screening committee assigned the task of Ending
8

 l a replacement for Charlie Bradshaw, Ray gave up a prime job to accept the ·
{ Wildcat challenge.
As assistant head football coach at Notre Dame University, he was co-ordina-  
I tor of and solely responsible for the defense; advisor to head coach Ara Par-
l seghian as to offense and generally responsible for squad management and re-
  cru1t1ng.
  A native of South Bend, Ray graduated from john Adams High School in
i june 1944 and was a regular center three months later at Notre Dame.
i He joined the paratroopers, served in the Pacific and returned to Notre ,
i Dame in time for spring practice in 1947. A look at Bill Walsh, George Stroh-  
  meyer and other center candidates convinced Ray to leave town again.  
l He transferred to Olivet College in Michigan, where he played three seasons `
1 of football and also was afforded an opportunity to be a student assistant on the l
coaching staff of Frank Ham, who had moved up from john Adams High.  
Ray received his bachelor’s degree in history at Olivet and then coached
in Michigan for five years, first at Three Rivers and then at Sturgis High School. V
He gave Sturgis its first state championship team.
Ray became an assistant at the University of Detroit for four years and then
assumed the position of head coach at john Carroll University in Cleveland.
As head coach at john Carroll from 1959-63, he put together a very success-
ful small college program (29 wins and six losses) and set several national records  
in defense, putting together his tactical methods of offense and defense which l
brought recognition in national coaching circles.
Ray was at john Carroll in 1964 when Parseghian was brought to Notre
Dame from Northwestern. Parseghian chose Ray as his chief defensive assistant
and persuaded the South Bend native to leave his head coaching position at john
Carroll. Ray was one of three members of the Notre Dame coaching staff in-
volved from the beginning in the Notre Dame string of five highly successful
seasons.
He was responsible for the defense that held O.   Simpson to 55 net yards
i rushing in the final game of last season against Southern California.
{ Immediately after arriving in the Blue Grass, Ray promised Kentuckians
they would be pleased and surprised at his coaching staff. He then proceeded
to recruit outstanding assistants from such places as Bucknell, Michigan, Navy,
Connecticut and Notre Dame. I
The next move was to "paint up, fix up" football offices in the Coliseum and ,
( Sports Center. Beautiful indoor-outdoor carpeting was added to the Center, 1
A along with other improvements. l
Ray also fulfilled speaking engagements throughout Kentucky and in other
states and sparked an enthusiasm which was evidenced best by advance ticket
sales to 1/Vildcat games.
A member of the Catholic Church, he received his Master’s Degree from the
University of Michigan in educational guidance and counseling. Ray is married
