Charles T. Wethington, 1n, Ph.D. President of the [University Fitzgerald B. Bramwell, Ph.D. , Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies Daniel R. Reedy, Ph.D. Dean of The Graduate School Constance L. Wood, Ph.D. Senior Associate Dean James E. O’Reilly, Ph.D., Associate Dean Allan G. Richards, ECLD. , Associate Dean THE GRADUATE SCHOOL The University of Kentucky began offering graduate work in 1870 and awarded its first graduate degrees in 1876. The Graduate School became a distinct unit in the University organization in 1912. The Graduate School is concerned with advanced study, graduate instruction and research conducted by the faculty and students of all colleges and departments. The total graduate resources of the University are merged under it for the purpose of promoting the acquisition of knowledge in an atmosphere of free and lively inquiry. Graduate work is offered in most colleges in the University. A general description and tabulation of courses for each of the various programs is given in the Graduate School Programs section of this bulletin. Organization of The Graduate School The Graduate Faculty consists of the Dean of The Graduate School, Associate and/ or Assistant Deans of The Graduate School, and Full and Associate Graduate Faculty Members. As the chief University agency for the promotion of the ideals of graduate study, it determines the policies of The Graduate School and makes recom— mendations to the University Senate and t0 the Presi- dent, or to other administrative officials as appropriate. All rules affecting graduate work and the inauguration of new graduate programs must be approved by the Gradu- ate Faculty. Any proposed change in the rules of the Graduate Faculty must be included in the agenda of its meeting and circulated to the Graduate Faculty at least 10 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered. The Academic Common Market Kentucky is a participating state in The Academic Common Market, an interstate agree— ment among Southern states for sharing academic programs. Students who qualify for admission may enroll in a specific program in another A.G.M. state on an in—state tuition basis. At present, the agree- ment has been limited to unusual graduate pro— grams. For information, write: Southern Regional Education Board, 130 Sixth Street N.W., Atlanta, Georgia. New Graduate Faculty members may be proposed to the Dean of The Graduate School at any time by the college deans and department chairs concerned, or in the case of persons not attached to a college faculty, b
