MINUTES OF MEETING- OF EXECUTIVE
COMMITTE OCTOBER 25, 1916
The Etecutive Committee of the U74versity of Kentucky
met at the President's office on Wednesday October 25, 1916.
There were present at the meeting Me8srs. Nichols, Brown
Johnston, bcKee and Stoll.
Mr. Nichols, the 'Uhairman of the Committee was in the
Chair.
On account of the illness of Mr. Grehan. r. Stoll was
selected Secretary of the meeting.
The minutes of the last meeting of the Committee were read
and corrected, and were approved as corrected.
At the last meeting of this Cormmittee, the President and
Registrar were directed to obtain diplomas containing the cor-
rect name of the University, and to issue these diplomas in the
manner therein directed to those receiving degrees in 1916
for the reason that the diDlomas actually given did not contain
the coreoct name of the University,
The President was also directed to secure a box at the
Security Trust Company, and to place therein all surety bonds
given by the official of the University, and he was also
directed to Invite the Transylvania University to hold its
thanksgiving game upon the athletic field of the University
of entucky.
The q resident stated to the Board that the dipbomas and
the box at the Security Trust C-~mpany had not been obtained.
and that the invitation to Transylvania University had not
been issued, but that the matter would be attended to at
once.
The President reported that as directed at i former meet.
ing of the Committee he had made an investigation of the i prove-
ments made on the grounds of the University at the corner of
Limestone and Winslow Streets, and that Doctor Kastle, so far
as he had been able to ascertain, had agreed with the Carey-
Reed Company to advise hi:", how much of said work had been done
and the amount due to him by the University therefor, and he s
stated that the contract was not in writing.
Upon motion of ar. Brown, it was directed that the res-
dent be directed to put the contract in writing with the Carey-
Reed Gompany, and that the work be coupleted as contemplated;
that the vwork be done under the supervision of Frank T. Mc-
Farland, who has heretofore been placed in charge of the grounds
of the University, and he shall make a full report of what has
been done and what work is to be done to b autify this portion
of the grounds to a committee ObMposed of r. Wichols and Mr.
Johnston, which said Committee shall- have full power to act.
Mr. McFarland then appeared before the Committee and dis-
cussion was had with him as to the project of planting of seeds
and shrubbery.
Captain Fairfax, Commandant of the 3attalion, appeared
before the Committee relative to the revision of the Military
Bi1l posed by Congress in juna. Captain s'airfa7 eaid:

to pursue this course further, he can take a postgraduate course.
4r. Stall0 ersonally I s!-m very meach In favor of the plan

in preper shape, I move you, r. 9hailrman, that the full details
coupled with the official action of the Dar Departmsnt, be pre-
pared by the 'rresdent of the University and Captain Fairfax,
and be presented to this Board for action at Its next regular
Meeting. halt It is the saenwe of this 3oard that the plan be
entered. into, but no action therein be tanker1 until the report
of the resident of the t tivereity and %jnptainl 'airfn2 be pre-
sented at the next regular meeting,- of this Board.
otion seconded by ar. Johnston, carried.
If there are two separate units, who will
drill them?
Captain Fairfax- 1f itis the sense of the andversity, I
shall drill them.
would like further to state that %ngreso passed thtis
law ha June 3rd. but In a hurry to aedjourn, failed to provide

r. resident, Imove you further that the residet of the
Uaiverrity and teaptain %irfax be authorized to revise the course
of Instruction In Ail tary Science at this U1iverelty and that
the eervi-ces of any of the other profensers In this instituttim

partment. My r 'neon for thits i that take It that oldiaer

thing about sanitation, taught by Doctor tryor, and a lot of
other things that can be tenht by other profesesrs in this in-
stitution, and for that reason, * Imake this motion.
.I further move that the course of instruction outlined by
the tresident and Captain Fairfax be submitted to the Gommittee
of De--ns and that they be directed to cooperate with this
Committee which we will appeint.
Motion seconded by "'r. Johnston, carried.
Captain Fatrfax- I may be wrong in what I am going to
say. I are not going to ask you to act upon it now, but to
think it over and decide whether to change your policy. 'here
is a lot of jeering done by the upper elasemen at the lower
classmen who drill. If it were made a rule that everybody had
to drill as is the custom in Germany or any other foreign coun-
try, there would be no Jeering by the upper clasemen. I think
my department is the most unpopular, but the popularityof it
would be increased if every man had to do his part. I ani a
stranger here and not familiar with things, but had to call
a young man dorn for jeering the other day. I tiink he whould.
have been called before the discipline committee and reprimand-
ed. his jeering Al1ces an odium on my department that makes
it very unpopular. 1 think it it a Iase of the upper classmen
trying to Hput it over" the lower. don't ask for universal
drill but it would do away with a lot of the unpopular feeling
and jeering.A ask you to consider it in your mind and store
it away for future reference. ^ believe my department w~uld
be more efficient if everybody was compelled to drill.
believe you will come to it within five years and I think It
worth while.
Ur. Stoll-lVhat solution other Ithan making everybody drill
woald do away with this jeering? lt is not the jeering; it Is
the spirit underlying the jeering.
Captain Fairfax- I would have to give it more careful
consideration. arn new at it and can not give you a panacea
for it now other than universal drill.
Captain Fairfax- I have had twenty-six years of service,
twelve in the rank8.
I have seen a man knocked down for lo king ugly and not
saying a word. I dontt want to make my department a guard
house.
Mr. Stoll_ hhat is the difference between jeering at one
of your Military companies and a man sticking his hld in the
class room and jeering at the class? I don#% see any differ-
ence. Ihat would you do to a boy who would stick his head in
a class room and jeer at a class?
President- I think that should come before the Ois8iplline
Committee.
Mr. Stoll- "'hat would they do with them? It seems to me
that the same method could be used In handling one as the other.
Mr. drown- t has always been just this way. Xhe upper
classmen have always jeered at the boys that drilled.
President- I have never heard a word of it before. It may
have been done, but I have never heard of it.
Mr. Stoll- 1 do not think they sh7nuld be reprimanded in
the class room.
Mr. !Ac~ee- Do you think that the punishment for jeering
should come under the same rule as any other?
Mr. Brown- I think it should be left to the Commandant
and his discretion.
Mr. Stoll- I agree with you, do not believe it is the
duty of a professor to reprimand any man who interferes with
his class. I believe it is the duty of the President of the
University to see that this is done because Cantain TFairfax
is trying to teach Military Science just as Doctor Tuttle ts
teaching Chemistry, and if a boy tried to raise sand in Doctor
Tuttleld class, it would be his duty to report it to the pro-
per authorities, else Doctor Tuttle doing his duty would
bring down upon himself undeserved orium from the rest of the
boys. Captain Jrairfax doesn't want to bring that odium upon him-
self any more than the others, nor does he want to make his
department -unpopular.
Captain Fairfax- Unpopularity is feared little by a man
who does his duty, and I don't shrink from that.
Mr. Brown- I don't think that Captain Fairfax is in the
same position as professors in the class room. He is head
of the discipline of the campus, and he is the man to see that
discipline is maintained. 'he men we have had heretofore have
found it hard to keep discipline.
captain Fairfax- I don't take that autocratic power, bat
I do think that I should have the power to act anywhere and
if a boy makes a face at another, it ought to be in my power
to reprimand him and to handle the case right there.
r. Stoll- Of course, this is a smatter on which even
Captain Fairfax, who has given the matter some thought, is not
prepared to Take any recommendations. I think it would be r11
to instruct resident Barker and Capotain Fairfex and, this
other committee to make recommendations to this Cominittee what
should be done, at the next regular meeting. Donet you thinl
Captain that is better?
Captain Fairfax- I think I should have the power to repri-
mand.
Ur. Stoll- That is inherent.
Mr. Z~rown- I think that it shouald be known that they should
have all due respect to the Military Department.
Captain Fairfax- It wouldn't do any harm to com2 out on
paper and make that statement to the student body. t would
show my hand and the rresident's.
After the United States uniforms are donned, if you choose
to look forward to that time, he who Jeers then will find that
he is actually Jeering at the uniform of the United States
Government. This means more to me and it is a serious matter
to me.
Mr. Brovwn- aere is a question, gentlemen, that will be
off the direct line. hat will be the feeling of the men who
are forced to drill and put in a separate company on account
of being physically unfit.
Captain Fairdiax- 'hat will simply be a requirement of
the University and not a requirement of the War Department-
Mr. Brown- I am not referring to the personal feeling of
that body.
ar. Stoll- it will have the effect of sending them over
to the gymnasium and getting them physically fit.
Mr. Brova- there are a great many who will never be physi-
cally fit if they are sent to the gymnasium forever.
President- Couldn't the XaJor and prepare all that for
you and give it to you?
Mr. Stoll- What we want is to get this ready to act upon
at our next regular meeting.
resident- Please ask Xr. Cover to come in.
Ar. ;over, teacher of the bana and Glee Flub at the Univer-
sity, appeared before the Buwd upon the invitation of the wres-
ident.
Mr. over stated to the BoRrd that it was absolutely
necessary, if the band was to be continued, that the University
procure new Instruments, as the instruments now on hand were
of little use; that it was impossible to get the instrumments
in tune, and that they were worn out.
Captain Fairfax stated that Mr. Oovers had done wonders
with the Ban*; that even with the antiquated instruments Mr.
Cover had made a good ban ;, but that it was necessary in his
opinion how to procure new instruments; that a band: is of the
,reatest hebt to the military department at the TUni-ersity.
t devel-ped that the band had no music, and the Captain Fair-
fax had given out of the contingent fund given him by the
Government gpgne y to purchase music.
Mr. Cover stated that the new instruments would cost
about $1500.00; that with this money he would buy twenty five
new instruments. In response tota question by Mr. Brown, Pr.
Cover and Captain Fairfax said that the instruments should last
fifteen or twenty years.
Mr. Peak, b~usiness Agent of the niverslq, stated that
the University would have money enough on hand to purchase t ie
instrument s.
Thereupon, Mr. Johnston moved that $1500.00, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, be appropriated for tne purchiae
of new instr nts for the bands the motion being duly second-
ed, on the call of the roll, M sors. Nichols, Johnston, oecee
aend Stoll voted aye. and Mir. Brown voted no. }he s ction was
carried.
Ir. Peak appeared oefore the Board end discussed the
financial condition of the Universit
President Barker stated du-ring the discussion that in the
past he had for certain poor students remitted the fees to be
paid to the University; that this vae an old custom. and that
he felt by the remission of these fees stadents could attend
college when otherwise they Vwould be prevented from so doing*
Mr. Brown took the position that no one man should have the
power to remit these fees. 'rl John-,ton stated that it might
be wisa to give to some person or Go;;Ittee such power. Pr
Brown thought that ome obligation should be given to the
University therefor, and reeldent Barker stated that no obli-
gstion had been required from any of the students whose fees
would be -Did in the fature. r. Brown questioned the power
[f the *resident to permit one man to attend the University free.
of all fees and to require another to p; ay these fees*
The discussion eatue up relative to the report of the Bus-
iness Agent en certain accountz which the report showed were
due to the University. After some discussion, the Business
Agent was directed to analyZe the old accounts, to make a report
thereof in writing to the Committee and to report to the Com-
mitt.. which accounts he considered good and which bad.
In the discussion, :r. Brown stated that he knew of one
girl who had left Patterson lall owing a board bill of something
like $85.00; that if one girl owed that sort of a bill, the
chances arc that others had done the same thing; that this
particular girl had had money enou;, to pay her bill every week,
but that she had evidently spent the money for other purposes.
Mr. Stoll stated that he had never seen a statement of the
condition of the accounts at Patterson Ball. and that Inas-
much as the University was responsible for the operation of
Patterson Hall, a statement of its acco'nts should be made to
the University. t developed in the discussion that there was
no Board of Control of Patterson Ball, as Is r equired bj t4c
act of the Legislature which requires a Board of these wmenon
to act as a Board of 4'ontrol, and which requires this Board to
make certpiln reports to the board of Trustees or to the Execu-
tive 0onmittee of the University.
Judge Barker. in response to a question, stated to the
Board that Miss Pickett was running and operating Patterson
Bal 1 .
No action was taken at the ;eeting.
The President stated to the Board that the Southern Rail-
way had seat to the University $1000.00 on account of the scholar-
ship which it had given to the University, the terms of which
scholarship as as follow*s
Executive Committe eL
University of entucky,
Lexington, Ky.
Gentlemon:
As you will remember the Southern Railway Company estab-
lished the Williem .inley Foundation for the benefit of Agri-
cultural students in this University. The Company forwarded
to me one thousand dollars ($1000.00 ) which I have deposited
in our bank. Under the terms of the foundation, this money Is
to be used to promote the interest of students studying Agri-
cultulre. I suggest the appointment by you of a Committee to
lend this money to students on suC:' terms and in such amounts
as they may find necessary, subject to such rules and regula-
tions, as you may in tour wisdom, establish. t is my opinion
that the Dean of the allege of Agriculture sho-ald be on this
committee.
The Woman's Olub of the University requests that the Board
allow them a sum of money not to exceed one hundred dollars
($100.001 to give the student body and entertainment Hallowelen
night. 'his has been done regularly by the Facalty, heretofore,
and it has been found to kee-o our students out of mischief.
The burden, however, is too heavy for the Faculty, and I suggest
that the University bear this expense.
Professor George Roberts of the College of Agriculture
has forwarded to me a communication about that department which
I shall read to you and which explains itself. He needs about
three hundred dyllars ($300.00) for general expense for that
department and suggest that his needs be satisfied.
I find that the Cafeteria has been running for six weeks
at a net loss of about niney-six dollars ($96.00). about fif-
teen or sixteen dollars per week. shall explain this more
fully orally and recommend that it be continued for at least
another month in order to see whether it can be put upon a self
sustaining basis.
I have a letter from Judge iumphrey of Louisville, con-
cerning a statue of homas Jefferson. which is offered to us
upon the painent of transportation expenses. 1 make no recon-
mendation About this matter.
I suggest that the appropriation of five thousand dollars
($5000.00) made to 'ean J.H. Kastle for the purpose of improv-
ing the campus and 'atterson Hall grounds, inasmuch as I t has
not been expended, be set aside and appropriated for other uses.
Professor Mathews submits a letter requesting that fifty
dollars ($5o.oo) of the mnoney of his departatent be transferred
to pay transportation of students to the Apple bhow at f'olumbus.
I think this shou d be done as it will entail no additional
out-lay from the niversity.
1 also submit an account of Mr. Milward for the burial
expenses of r. RA. Milligan.
Professor Mutchler, head of the Extension Department, re-
quests that a committee be appointed to audit h3s accounts so
that they can be forwarded to 'ashington for approval.
In 1911, one of our Atudents, O.L. Day did not graduate
on account of sickness. n order was made that uroon the com-
pletion of his work, his diploma be given him. This diploma
has been made out but heretofore, by oversight, has not been
delivered to him, nor is there anything to show that it was
ever passed upon by the Board of Trustees. I suggest that this
Committee now has full power to award this diplome, and that an
order be entered giving it to him as of the date he finished
his work.
Onr musical director renort s that the Instrnments o f the
bani: are entirely worthless and wishes an appropriation on one
thousand dollars ($1000.0O) for new Instruments. I can well
beleive this statement Is true, and recommend that the band
be furnished adequate inns cal instruments. Ut as I know
very liatle about music, I request that Mr. ever be allowed
to come before the Committee to state the matter as it appears
to him.
The Committee on High School '.ournaments requests an
allowance of about fifty dollars ($50.00) for the purpose of
holding higg! school and intercollegiate tournaments here. ThI
can be done without any additional expense out 46 the money
collected for this purpose and not heretofore appr~priated,
and hope it will be done.
Hespectfmlly.
I.S. Barker,
President.
The resident asked that a Committee be appointed to loan
the fund In accordance with the terms of the scholarship. There
was some discussion as to whether or not the fund should be
loaned with or without security.
Upon eotion of Mr. Brown,, which was duly seconded and car-
ried, the hairm In appointed the iresideat of the University,
the Dean of the ollege of AgricuSlture and the 2usiness Agnet
of the University. as a ommittee to loan the fund provided
for in the scholarship, which Gommittee will report to the
Executive Committee the p1in for making the loan, every loan
made when and as made, how made and all action taken on account
of the scholarship.
The 'resident stated that heretofore the faculty of the
University had been giving a partyand a dance to the students
of the University on Hallowelen bight, but that the faculty
this year dzoit'ed the University to appropriate $100.00 for this
purpose, and he recommended that this sum be appropriated.
The o0mmittee took no action upon the recommendation.
The President stated that lax P. Humphrey of Louisville
had written him stating that an original model of a stateu
of Thomas 14 efferson was in existence, and that he would present
it' to the University provided the University would pay the
freight from Michigan to the University; that the statue was
a plaster model seven or eight feet high.
Upon motion of r. Stoll, duly seconded end carrie4, the
generous offer of Judge Humphrey was accepted, and the resident
was directed for and on behalf of the Committee to express
its thanks to Judge Humphrey for the gift, and that the statue
when it arrived be placed in the library.
It was stated to the oard that the original statue of
He-nry Glay which was plaeed upon his monument in 8l54 had been
struck be lightning and had been nartially destroyed, but
parts of the original statue were in existence and were on the
street in front of idams marble yard.
Upon motion ma0e, seconded and carried, the resident of
the University 6was drected to try to obtain audh portions of
the statue of henry _lay, and to put the same apon the Univer-
sity Campus.
4he !President presented to the oard a letter from George
oberts, Acting Dean of the ollege of Agriculture, and a
letter from professor C. , Mathews of the Devartment of Horti-
clilture which said letters are as follows:

My dear President Barkert
Inas much as no trfveling eanenses were allowed for the
apple judging contest, rofessor Rathewa has made application
for permission to use a small amount out of his departmentil,
budget fgor -I --apurjfsas-' I 4tlose his letter, which will set
forth the matter better t.an can do.
Inasmuch as the $300.00 originally set aside for travell-
ing in the budget of the ollege of Agriculture was not speci-
fied for any single department, but was really intended for all
departments, and insigmuch as the executive committee has order-
ed that this and the 4100 additional be used for the stuent
jud~ging ontest i the Department of "nimal Husbandry, 1 think
it but fair that rofessor Mathews be allowed to foljow the
plan which he proposes, and it has my endorsement. would
be glad if you would ap- rove this, if you can see fit to do
so, and return, with your approval Professor atheV's letter.
Yours very truly,
George Roberts.
Lexington, Ky., October 7, 1916
Professor George Roberts,
College of Agriculture,
My dear rof. Aoberts:
Referring again to the matter of the Appls Judging ontest
to be 'held this year at 0Iolumbus and for which the Execative
Committee has declined to furnish aner financial assistance,
I would like to present for their consideration the idea of
meeting a part of the expenses of this trin out of the regular
appropriation of my department for the year. bile this appre
priation is none too large I feel that it would be a great
disapointment to our boys not to enter this aotutest as some of
them have been in preparation for it nearly a year already.
I beleive furthermore that they are sufficiently interested.
to be willing to meet a part of their expenses themeelves.
If the executive committee therefore would perm4t me to
use a sufficient amount from the budget assigned to this de-
partment to cover the railroad fare for four men and the
necessay other exoenses for the coach, i believe the _Wklhn-aes
can be provided from other so\.asas and by the boys themselves.
therefors, suggest that I be permitted to use for this pur-
pose, not to exceed $50.00 from the budget of $400.O0 assigned
to this department for the year and will of course use extreme
economy in other expenses in order to keep within the funds
allotted to my department.
Very truly yours,
G. W. Matheve
'he President recomrenede that rofessor athews be direct-
ed to use-$50.00 out of the bihdget assigned to ]4s Depart-.
ment for the purpose set forth in the letter of Professur Mathews.

Barker was concurred In and made the action of the %ionittee.

I want the authorities of the State University to feel
absolutely free to administer the fund in such way as they
may deem most advantagefte, subject only to the restrZetion,
that the beneficiaries must be Agriqultural students, their
counties traversed by lanes of the Soutnern Railway %moapany,
qr the 'incinnati, New Orleans and Texas-Pacific Railway

The following regolutions were adopted by the 0oard fn
anei.--ously in meeting ctober 25. 1916.
This 4 ord has learned with profound regret of the death
of Dr. Joseph floesing -tst1e, Director of the Experiment ztation,

University of 'entucky. In his passing, this institution has
been called upon to surrender one of the most prominent and out-
standiing figures in Its entire history and at the same time
loses a counsel that was wise and an allegiance that was loyal
beyond the common experience of men. Few lives had been so
dedicated to human service as had been that of Doctor aetl e
and feb mern had reached so great prominenc - in the prectise of
their chosen professionl

tors knew. revered, and honored him, no word this body can coe
