QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
to
The Board of Trustees
September 21, 1937

THE YEAR 1936-1937

The Building Program

The academic and fiscal year to July 1, 1937, was an event-
ful one from many points of view. During that period the Uni-
versity began and extended its building program under the P.W.A.
Two of the Engineering buildings were completed, the Law build-
ing was well on its way, the heating plant was almost ready for
operation, the Student Union building had been started, and the
third building in the Engineering unit was placed under construc-
tion.

The Flood

While this progress was being made at the University, nature
flooded the Ohio Valley with the result that thousands of people

were homeless and much property was destroyed. Students and
staff members of the University made contributions of money and
clothing. The work of county and home demonstration agents in
particular was of unusual value, and made :n many instances with
great sacrifice. Contributions of the University during this
disastrous period were of importance and can be taken as indicat-
ing a real capacity to help in times of difficulty.

Student Attendance

Student attendance upon the University during the year
reached a high point in the history of the institution. There
were during the regular session 3859 students in residence, all
duplicates excluded, and the total enrollment, including the sum-
mer session, all duplicates excluded, was 5812 students in res-
idence, It is possible that the rapid increase in attendance
was due in part to the National Youth Administration and the
subsidy made to students during the year. Students received
in the neighborhood of $73,000; there were 600 who actually re-
ceived aid from this source during the academic year.

The Jraduate School

The Graduate School of the University has grown materially
and shows a heal-thy development with increased effectiveness in
teaching and instruction.

The Testing Program

For some time the University has been aware of the fact
that students were enrolling whose previous educational history
made them poor college risks. Efforts have been made from timeto
timeto advise and help these students, but when the testing program
was inaugurated several years ago, it was impossible to find out
in advance who they were and in the past two years a plan for
helping these students was set up by placing them under special
direction, reducing their study load, and in some instances re-
quiring them to attend tutorial classes, where they were under
regular instruction. Results obtained from this procedure under
the direction of rk. Lysle Croft have been sufficient to arrange
for its continuance, and it is planned for this year to improve
the organization and give its group of students more attention.

Housing of Students

With the growth of the student body the problem associated
with housing it becomes mnore acute. At the present tim6 there
are places for 225 women and 265 men in the residence halls.
The cooperative house operated by the University provides for
22 additional women. The Dean of Women, Miss Sarah G. Bland-
ing, has urged for the past year that additional facilities be
provided for women. There are now 1200 women attending the Uni-
versity, and the need for additional housing increases each year.
The building for the cooperative house had proven unsatisfactory

and discussion ensued regarding the means of securing additional
housing, but the time was so short that it was necessary to
lease a house for the coming year. It is hoped that at the next
legislative session provision will be made for some additional
dormitories.

Food Units

There are three places providing for the feeding of students;
one is the cafeteria in the Training School, which serves lunch
five times a week and occasional dinners and banquets; a large
dining room is maintained in the woliien's residence halls to take
care of the young women living in these halls; the Commons, the
largest of the three, is operated on the top floor of MoVey Hall.
When the Student Union building is completed it is planned to
transfer this last named activity to that building. No decision
has been made so far, as to the method of operating the Commons.
There are at least two ways in which it can be done: one is for
the University to operate it as it has done in the past, and the
other is to lease it to some reliable concern to operate it under
contract. The latter method is seldom resorted to by institu-
tions because of losing touch and contact with educational influ-
ences thru an outside organization coming into a union building.
There are, however, several questions involved; one of these is
the purchase of the necessary equipment for a large cafeteria and
dining hall, and the other is the question which constantly
arises in connection with the purchase of food, since it must be
done thru the State Purchasing Commission, and in this way con-
fusion arises to interfere with the more orderly management of
the unit as a going concern. Undoubtedly, it can be ironed out.
With these matters in mind, I am recommending that a committee be
appointed to consult with the Executive Committee on the matter
of the Commons management.

Changes in Staff Membership

Several resignations have taken place during the year, among
them that of Professor Paul H. Clyde, who left to take a place
at Duke University; Professor A. H. Eblen, of the Law School,
has been granted a leave of absence to assist in the work of the
Legislative Council at Frankfort; Professor Charles M. Knapp
has been granted a leave for the first semester of this year for
study; Professor Claiborne Latimer was granted leave for the
second semester; Professor Blaine W. Schick was granted leave
for the year 1937-38; Professor F. W. Warburton is on leave for
the first semester of this year; L. A. Vennes, Field Agent in
Marketing, Extension Division was granted leave of absence for
the period October 1, 1937, to June 10, 1938; Dean W. S. Taylor
was granted leave for one year for study abroad under grant
from the General Education Board; Professor Leo M. Chamberlain
of the College of Education was appointed Registrar. Among new
appointments prior to this meeting were those of Her.ry B, Moore,
Associate Professor of Economics; Hollis P. Guy, Assistalnt Pro-
fessor of Commerce; Maurice Seay, Professor of Educational Ad-
ministration and Director of the Bureau of School Service; Pro-
fessc.r Ligom, Acting Dean of the 6ollege of Education during the
absence of Dean Taylor.

Cooperation of Agencies

It is very interesting to note the number of agencies with
which the University is cooperating in various types and kinds
of work. Among these are the State Board of Health, the United
States Public Health Service, the State Department of Education,
the State Legislative Council, the Carnegie Corporation of New
York, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the United States Department
of Agriculture, the National Research Council, the Lexington
Branch of the Junior League, and many other organizations that
have come from time to time to the University for assistance in
consideration of problems.

It is to be noted, also, that numerous conferences and meet-
ings are held at the University during the year. These have
increased in number and importance and indicate the University's
increasing reputation and importance as an agency for the consid-
eration of state and national questions.

Relations with the State

The Legislature of 1936 set up a reorganization act and pro-
vided for an elaborate system of accounting and auditing. The
adjustment to this law and the procedure of the business of the
University have gone on fairly well during the past two years.
The accounting system set up by the State does not lend itself
to the best procedure in the management of the University, but
it is expected that with cooperation, understanding and good na-
ture, the difficulties may be worked out, and cooperative rela-
tionships established. The administration of State affairs,
has gone well and Governor Chandler in particular has shown a
marked interest in the affairs of the University, and this has
been of much encouragement to all concerned,

The budget for the year 1937-38 was passed upon at the April
meeting of the Board and at this meeting some modifications will
have to be made due to changes in income and expenditures. This
will be brought to your attention later. The University lived
within its income last year and balanced its budget. While I
am talking about budgets I may say, increased enrollment, new
buildings, growing calls for instruction, the establishment of
additional operations in the field of research and investigation,
will necessitate considerably larger amounts than the state has
been appropriating for the University. It may be said that the
University is now where it cannot go on with any larger develop-
ment until it has more income. It has gone on during the past
four years, kept a balanced budget, met its obligations, but
with rising prices in materials and costs of living, it is es-
sential that some additions be made to salaries. The cost of
operation has increased, and this also necessitates additional
funds. It is hoped, therefore, that you will give this matter
careful consideration, and that the Legislature will have your
enthusiastic support of it, as I have no doubt it will have,

In conclusion, the great problem with which the University
is faced, and this is true of other institutions, is how to
adapt education to life: here is the essential point in all ed-
ucation. There is much difference of opinion in the matter of
procedure, but all are agreed that something should be done to
make it a possible accomplishment. Consequently, every depart-
ment and every member of the staff must be alive to what is go-
ing on around him, and bring to students the implications of
present day social and economic organization. Fundamentally,
the best way in which to equip young men and women to meet life
is to show them the necessity to do good and effective work.
To bring this about it will be necessary for tethers in the Uni-
versity to give students larger opportunities of leadership in
their work; try to get them to carry more responsibility in their
own education. This does not require new buildings and equip-
ment, but it does require some responsibility or. the part of
staff and students. It will be our purpose to emphasize these
phases again and again, for after all, doing a good job as a
student prepares one to do a good job in life, and along with
this must come programs of guidance and personal direction.

3. Financial Report for June.

The financial report for June, 1037, was filed by the Busi-
ness Agent. It was examined by the Committee and ordered insert-
ed in the Minutes. The Business Agent asked time for filing July
and August reports, necessarily delayed until completion of June
report. This delay was caused by delays in receiving certified
vouchers from Extension Division of University of Kentucky, and
by the financial set-up of the state permitting invoices of past
year to be deferred for payment until September 30,

4. Requisition Committee Report.

The Requisition Committee filed written report of its ac-
tion each week from July 1, 1937, to September 8, 1937, in-
clusive. The report showed orders made by the Business Office
on the authority of the Requisition Committee in the manner ore-
scribed by the Board of Trustees and State laws, running from
No. 1 to No. 1556. The report was examined, and on motion and
