My dear President Donovan-c
The University, at the present time, holds in the
current restricted trust funds, an account "Hal Price
Headley Fund" in the amount of $75,00000 This money,
at the present time, is invested in U. S. Treasury bonds.
Because of the request of Mr. Headley, which request has
your approval, it becomes necessary to liquidate $30,OO.OO
of these securities.
I suggest that the authorization be given to trans-
fer $30,000-00 of-the securities from the Hal Price Head-
ley fund to "group investment" (restricted trust funds),
thereby saving brokers' fees and. retaining the current
investment,,

reporting class funds of 1939 and. requesting disposition0
March 21, 1951
Dr. H0 L. Donovan, President;
University of Kentucky
My dear President; Donovan,-
The Class of 1939 invested class, funds in the
Lexington Federal Savings and, Loan Association, under
date of August 10, 1939, in the amount of $248,31. The
class left a statement signed by the President, Vice
President, Treasurer and Secretary to the effect that if the
class failed to appoint a re-union committee within eleven
years, the investment and the income not disbursed would re-
vert to the University of Kentucky, to a fund to be designat-
ed by the "President and the business agent."
To my knowledge, the Class of 1939 has made no ex-
penditures or authorizations against this fund, nor has it
appointed a re-union committee for approximately twelve
years. The savings account and compounded interest, as of
December 30, 1950, amounted to $345883. There will be an
earned increment June 30, 1951 of approximately $4.30 It
is possible that this account should be liquidated. I shall
be glad to discuss the case at your convenience.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed.) Frank D. Peterson,
Comptroller.

authorized transferred in accordance with signed statement by the

L. Policy on Recording Performances of Students on Campus0
President Donovan read a communication from Doctor Chamberlain
setting forth the problem involved with reference to people interest-
ed in commercial recording of performanceF by students on the campus0
May
Fourth
1 95 1
President H0 Lo Donovan
University of Kentucky
Dear President Donovan:
Recently I have talked to you about certain problems
that have arisen as a result of the desire of people inter-
ested in commercial recording to make records of perfo~rances
given on the campus by our owtn students or by high school
students participating in the various musical festivals0
The purpose is to provide records and then to sell them to
the students who have participated in the performance. A
considerable appeal can be made to a student on the grounds
that he should have a recording of a program in which he has had
a part0
It may seem on fir s;)t hand that there is no particular
harm in this, but there are certain disadvantages to the
University0 After oiur first conversation I took the liberty
of having a conferenee on the matter with Dr. Stein, Mr0
Louis Clifton, Mr0 E. G. Sulzer, and Mr0 E, B. Farris0 Though
not the only ones conc.erned, these are the persons most af-
fected when these recor-1.dings are made. It was pointed out
that there are already two parties interested in making these
recordings, more or less in competition, and that it is not
unlikely that the number will increase0 If this should
happen. it is not difficilult to see how the practice could
become more of a nuisance to the Department of Maintenance
and Operations, the Music Department, and the Department of
University Extension than it is at present,, It was pointed
out that the sclicitation takes the time of the faculty
6
members concerned and is distracting to the students. It
does not help a performance to have extra microphones in-
volved or to have the people responsible for them working in
view of the audience. In some instances the performance
does not measure up to desired standards, and in such cases
the department head would prefer that no recording be avail-
able. Most important of all is the fact that we are not in
the business, at the University, of putting on shows. We
are primarily interested in educating students, and the
performances are only incidental to this purpose0 Any prac-
tice that partakes of the nature of exploiting the students
would not seem to be good for the University0
It should be noted that we have available in the Radio
Studios and in the Music. Department recording equipment with
which we can prepare any recording which the University or any
of its departments deem desirable0
As a result of our discussion the committee has asked me
to recommend to you that the Board of Trustees adopt a policy
which might be stated as follows:
Non-university agencies will not be permitted to
make recordings of any performance on the campus of
the University by students or faculty members. or by
high school students invited to the campus, nor shall
such recordings be made of performances off the campus
given by University personnel or by others under the
sponsorship of the University0 This regulation shall
not, however, be interpreted as meaning that a depart-
ment head may not employ a non-university agency to
make a recording if it is found impossible for a neces-
sary recording to be made by the University itself,,
It is my understanding that it will be your purpose to
request the approval of this policy to be effective July lo In
the meantime we shall leave the decision with respect to a par-
ticular performance to the department head concerned.
St -ncerel.y,
(Signed) Leo M. Chamberlain
Vice President0
After the reading of the communication, the recommended policy
was discussed, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, was
adopted, effective July 1, 1951-
Me Comptroller Authorized to Indorse Checke
President Donovan stated that The California Company, New Orleans,
Louisiana, had requested Dr. J. D. Farris to make a physical examina.-
tion of William H. Brittin, and to report to the Company his findings.
The Company submitted check for $10.00 in payment to the University.
He recommended that the Comptroller be authorized to indorse the
check, made payable to Dr. Farris for services renderede
Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Committee con-
curred in the recommendation of the President.
N. Radio and Music Scholarships.
President Donovan stated that it had been customary for several
years to allow certain grants-in-aid for students who lend their
talents to the work of Radio Station WBKY. He stated that the De-
partment has requested 16 grants-in-aid for each of the two semesters
for the school year 1951-52 and a like number for the summer term
1952, and recommended that same be granted.,
He also recommended that grants-in-aid to 40 students be allowed
for students who lend their talents to work of the Music Department
for the academic year 1951-52.
Members of the Committee heard the recommendations, and upon
motion duly made, seconded and carried, authorized 16 grants-in-
aid for each of the two semesters of 1951-52 and a like number for
the summer term of 1952, made available to Radio Station WBKY, and
a total of 40 such grants be made available to the Department of Mu-
sic for the academic year 1951-52.

rant approving Dr. Thompson's request. He further stated that the

Dr0 James Calvin, Chairman

University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky
Dear Dr0 Calvin:
Enclosed you will find a check for $500-00 from the
Fayette County Chapter of the Kentucky Society for Crip-
pled Children0 This is to be used by Dr, Diehl in the
1951 swumer session of the Speech and Hearing Clinic0 It
is requested that Dr. Diehl give us an accounting at the
end of the summer session.
In making this gift the Fayette County Chapter is not
establishing a precedent of financial support0 It is our
opinion that the work is of such importance that the state
through the University should adequately underwrite this
work0 It would be pleasing to the chapter to learn that
the clinic will receive such support in 1952 as would
indicate that the University will develop a program to meet
the problem.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Hilda R, Abraham
(Mrs. IJo.)
Chairman, Speech Therapy0
