THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY A ‘
The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban .A
community of about 65,000 population. It is a state-supported institu— A
tion operated under the direction of a board of trustees of fifteen _ ,
members. The membership of this board includes the Governor, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, ex officio, and twelve members appointed by the Governor, _
three of whom are alumni of the University and three, members of
the State Board of Agriculture. The University is one of a number of
institutions known as land-grant colleges which were established by
the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have continued to receive federal
assistance under the provisions of this and subsequent laws relating
to the teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and to the pro-
vision of agricultural experiment stations and extension services in
agriculture and home economics.
The University of Kentucky is on the approved list of the
Association of American Universities, and is a member of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the ·
A Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is
accredited in its respective colleges or departments by the Association
of American Law Schools, the American Association of Collegiate
Schools of Business, the American Association of Schools and
Departments of Journalism, the National Association of Schools of
Music, and the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development.
The major function of the University is that of instruction. For
the performance of this function it is organized into the College of
Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture, the College of Engineer-
ing, the College of Law, the College of Education, the College of
Commerce, the Graduate School, and a Department of University
Extension. Residence instruction is given through two semesters of
eighteen weeks each, and through two summer terms of five weeks
each. A
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the Uni- A ‘
versity contributes to the welfare of the state through research, ' V
experimentation, and public service. While all departments make
important contributions along these lines, certain divisions and
bureaus have been established specifically for these purposes.
Included in this group are the Experiment Station and the Extension
Division of the College of Agriculture, the Bureau of Business ‘
Research, the Bureau of Government Research, the Bureau of School ,
Service, the Bureau of Source Materials in Higher Education, the
Personnel Bureau, the Publicity Bureau, the Teachers Placement
Bureau, and the Department of University Extension

14 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY .
The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni-
‘_ * Q3 versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865. 4
The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public education I 1
under one organization. This experiment was tried for a number of p é
years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized under the i
ifi? Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanic arts in ;
K ' Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people of Kentucky decided ]
to establish a state institution of higher learning, the College of I
{gi Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was separated from Kentucky {
University and reestablished on land given by the City of Lexington ,
· . and the County of Fayette. Thirty years later the legislature changed 1
1:`{Q· the name of the institution to the State University of Kentucky, and
gave it additional financial support. In 1916 the name was again
changed, this time to the present title, and additional maintenance *
was arranged by legislative act. 1
" ADMISSION T0 THE UNIVERSITY I
‘s‘. ·_-Q Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as fresh- l
53 men; with advanced standing front other institutions; as special 1
students; and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is also
governed by special regulations.
gglif All students, irrespective of their classification, are required to
Lg`. register on designated days at the beginning of each semester, at
_ such places and according to such schedules as may be announced
by the Registrar’s office. The period for registration closes 0n the
second Monday following the beginning of classes.
i` Applications for admission to the University should be made to
A the Registrar. Certified copies of high school credentials and of
work done in other institutions should be submitted to the Regis-
trar’s office in advance of the registration period. Failure to file
yer;} credentials in time for checking before the registration period will
i` delay the student in arranging his program. All admissions, including
those to the professional schools and the Graduate School, must be
Qi] passed on by the Registrar’s office. Students who come to the
‘¤ University without having had their admission approved, do so at
their own risk. The University reserves the right to refuse considers.- »
tion of applications not made before the beginning of the registration
period.
5 Admission to the Freshman Class
An applicant for admission to the freshman class should have
his principal submit a statement of his high school work on the blank
_` y furnished by the Registrar’s office.
5% It is always of advantage to any student, as well as to his
1;]% principal, if a transcript of the student’s record is made up and
mailed before the close of the school year. It is difficult, if not _
impossible, for the principal who is away on his vacation to comply
g with a request for this information.
