   E. Purchases Made by the Comptroller's Office.

   President Donovan submitted a communication from the Comptroller
listing various types of purchases made for the first quarter of the
current year.  He read the following letter:



                                             October 9, 1950



    Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
    University of Kentucky


    My dear President Donovan:

         I submit a list of state requisitions, advices of emer-
    gency purchases, special purchase orders, food contracts and
    departmental purchase orders which have been made by the pur-
    chasing division from July 1, 1950 through September 30, 1950.
    These purchases have not been approved by the Board of Trus-
    tees.  The listing below gives the numbers of the documents
    requesting the purchase or actually issued as purchase orders,
    which documents are made a part of this record and are held
    in the Office of the Comptroller subject to inspection.   The
    purchases have been made on properly drawn documents at the
    request of the various departments and have been charged
    against available funds.

          State requisitions                1 through 272
          Emergency purchase orders         1 through  77
          Library departmental orders    2001 through 2041
          University departmental orders 1001 through 1118
          Special purchase orders           1 through 2726

          The foregoing record of purchases is respectfully 4ubmit-
    ted with the request that they be approved by the Executive
    Committee of the Board of Trustees, thereby ratifying the action
    of the Comptroller in making such purchases.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                            (Signed)     t'raiik D. Peterson,
                                          Comptroller.



$ 30,200.00




 









     President Donovan recommended that the purchases designated be
approved, and upon motion duly made, seconded and carried,

          State requisitions  .....  .........  1 through  272
          Emergency purchase orders ........    1 through    77
          Library departmental orders ...... 2001 through  2041
          University departmental orders  ... 1001 through  1118
          Special purchase orders .........     1 through  2726

were authorized, and the action of the Comptroller was ratified.



     F. Sale of Printing Press.

     President Donovan stated that the Kentucky Kernel owns a Chandler
and Price printing press (12" x 18"), which is used for small jobs.
He stated that the press does not operate with desired efficiency,
that it requires the constant attention of one man in feeding and op-
erating, and does not take onion skin and other thin sheets without
excess spoilage.  He said that Messrs. Grote, Denbo and Peterson
recommend that the press be sold and a new press, known as the Little
Giant, be purchased.

     President Donovan recommended that the request be approved, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation was
concurred in.



     G. Acceptance of Library of McCormick Historical Association.

     President Donovan reported that there was a probability of the
University acquiring the library of the McCormick Historical Associa-
tion.  He stated that, if this library was acquired, it would place
the University in a leading position in America in the field of agri-
cultural history.  He reported that a committee, consisting of Dr.
Lawrence Thompson, Dr. Tom Clark, and Professor Thomas B. Stroup, had
been studying the possibility of acquiring the library and the general
and financial obligations which the University would necessarily have
to assume, and requested permission for the committee to meet with
the Executive Committee of the Board: Whereupon Doctor Thompson, Doc-
tor Clark and Professor Stroup were invited into the meeting.   They
submitted a resume of the collection of the McCormick Historical As-
sociation as follows:

                   RESUME OF THE COLLECTION OF
                THE MCCORMICK HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

         Research and reference potentialities inherent in the
    McCormick Collection are so great as to be almost incalcula-
    ble.   Its acquisition by the University of Kentucky would most
    surely raise our library to the position of being the South's
    leading research centre in fields of interest noted below.




 








          The original McCormick collection and its ancillary
     collections include manuscripts, printed materials, and mu-
     seum items. one or more of these cover the period from
     1739 until 1940.  There are well over 1,000,000 manuscripts
     and more than 20,000 printed pieces in the form of books,
     pamphlets, broadsides, almanacs, periodicals of agricultural
     and mechanical societies both here and abroad, federal gov-
     ernment publications, patent laws, travel accounts, circulars,
     early newspapers, rare biographical publications, genealogies
     and state and local histories.

          Manuscripts include business reports and records; social
     and economic evaluations of conditions throughout this country
     and in Europe; diaries; letter books and letters; legal docu-
     ments; minutes of agricultural societies; plantation records;
     and business and financial records.

          A brief summary of the subjects covered embraces those
     of agricultural history, including the development of agri-
     cultural Implements, economy, and technology; land speculation,
     Westward expansion and history; development of the U. S. rail-
     road systems; military history including the War of 1812;
     problems of labor and capital; religious questions; plantation
     and farm life in the South; slavery, secession, Civil War and
     reconstruction; gold and silver mining; the development of
     manufacturers from early iron furnaces to the functioning of
     modern industries as the International Harvester Co., the
     perfection of laboratory research; education and its progress;
     political history; patent law; the development of advertising;
     the evolution of rural trade from the period of the barter
     system to that based on currency exchange; the shift from Eng-
     lish to American coinage; this nation's conversion from a self-
     sufficierV domestic economy to the modern diversified structure
     of society; and philanthropy and art.

          Considering the historic purpose of this university which
     was at least partly founded to lead Kentucky in the fields of
     agricultural and mechanical research, the acquisition of the
     McCormick Historical Collection appears to be a highly desir-
     able proposal.


     The members of the Executive Committee of the Board and the members
of the committee discussed at some length the obligations, conditions
and advantages incident to acceptance of this library, and after due
consideration, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the commit-
tee was authorized to advise the McCormick Historical Association that
the University will meet the requirements in the event the University
of Kentucky is selected as the institution to which the library is
given.

      H. The Will of Miss Annie Dillard.

      President Donovan reported that, with the approval of the Com-
mittee, the University had entered into agreement with Miss Annie Dil-
lard whereby she deeded outright to the University her house and lot
at 270 South Limestone Street, Lexington, Ky.  He reported that Miss
Annie Dillard died on September 22, 1950, and her will had been probat-
ed, and submitted a copy of the appraisement of the estate.  He also
reported the will contained a provision that, after the bequests of
Miss Dillard, debts, claims, taxes and cost of administration of the
estate were paid, the residue was to come to the University of Kentucky.
He said that it is too early at this time to ascertain how much, if
any, residue will exist.   The Security Trust Company, executor of the
estate, will keep the University advised as to progress in settling
the estate, and a more accurate report will be made to the Board at a
later date.

      Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report on the
will of Miss Annie Dillard was authorized received.


      I. Transfer of Dawson Springs State Park for the Use and Bene-
fit of the University of Kentucky.

      President Donovan recalled that the Federal Government in 1935
transferred by an Act of Congress certain lands in Hopkins County,
Kentucky, to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, to be used as a State park.
The Department of Conservation had determined that it was not advis-
able for the State Park Commission to develop this tract of land and
proposed to transfer same for the use and benefit of the University
of Kentucky.

      It developed that the State Park Division of the State Conserva-
tion Commission did not have the authority to transfer the use of the
Dawpon Springs State Park without the consent of Congress. Congress-
man John Whitaker introduced in the 81st Congress, Second Session,
House Resolution 3480, which became Chapter 263, Public Law 556, and
is copied herein:

     An Act to authorize the Commonwealth of Kentucky to use
         for certain educational purposes lands granted by the
         United States to such Commonwealth for State park pur-
         poses exclusively.

     Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
         the United States of America in  o~g~ress assembled, ThaTh

         Notwithstanding any provision of the Act entitled "An Act
     to authorize the transfer of certain lands in Hopkins County,
     Kentucky, to the Commonwealth of Kentucky", approved July 3,
     1935 (Public Law Numbered 196, Seventy-fourth Congress), or




 





7



     any express condition in the conveyance of lands made by
     the United States to the Commonwealth of Kentucky pursuant
     to such Act, which limits to State park purposes exclusive-
     ly the use of the lands so conveyed, the Commonwealth of
     Kentuckyis authorized to use the Dawson Springs State Park,
     which comprises such lands, for the use and benefit of the
     University of Kentucky: Provided, That if such lands are
     used for purposes other than for State park purposes pursu-
     ant to such Act of July 3, 1935, or for the use and benefit
     of the University of Kentucky as provided in this Act,
     title thereto shall revert to the United States.

          Approved June 16, 1950.


     President Donovan reported that the Commissioner of Conservation
had notified Dean Cooper that a copy of the Act would be filed in the
Hopkins County Court, as an amendment to the existing deed, and that
the State Property and Building Commission would adopt an order
transferring the property to the University of Kentucky.

     The President reported further that originally it was thought
that it would be necessary for the Veterans Administration, Washing-
ton, D.C., to make a deed transferring Dawson Springs State Park to
the University of Kentucky, and that, since the matter was not yet
clear as to the proper procedure, he was reporting progress for in-
formation and record purposes.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report of the
President was ordered received.


     J. Lease of Property at 456 Rose Street to Chi Omega Sorority.

     President Donovan submitted lease by the Board of Trustees, Uni-
versity of Kentucky and Lambda Alpha of Chi Omega, for the use of

ber, 1954, together with the right of the lessee to renew
or extend said lease for additional periods of four years

fore maturity.

     4) In the event the rent is not paid as provided in this
lease the lessor shall have the immediate right to place other
students in the building so that the revenue therefrom will
be sufficient to pay interest on and to retire said bonds as
they mature and if the rent is in default for a period of
three consecutive months, the lease shall be terminated and the
property surrendered to the lessor.

     5) This lease shall not be assigned nor the property sub-

     7) The property shall at all times be under the control
of the lessor with the right to require the lessee to make re-

revoked or suspended for a period of fifteen consecutive
months, then, in either event, this lease shall terminate
and the lessor shall pay to the lessee, or its assignee,
the sum of $15,000 if said termination occurs during the
first five years from this date; $10,000 if within the
second five years; $5,o0o if said termination from this
cause occurs within the third five years; and nothing if
the termination occurs thereafter.

rental to be paid by the lessee shall be increased to re-
imburse the lessor for such taxes or charges.

     11) At all times during the term or extended term or
terms of this lease, the building and surrounding grounds
are to be kept in a presentable condition.    The lessee
is not to commit or allow waste or the maintenance of a

tion as provided herein.   Upon the expiration or termina-
tion of this lease, the property is to be surrendered to
the lessor in as good condition as when the lessee entered
into possession, reasonable wear, tear and normal decadence
excepted.

     12) The execution of this instrument has been approved
by proper resolutions adopted by the governing bodies of
the parties hereto and signed by the persons authorized in
said resolutions to execute the same.

      The members of the Committee being familiar with the lease, upon
motion duly made, seconded and carried, approved same and authorized
the Chairman of the Executive Committee and the Secretary to execute

      K. Allocation of Fees.

      President Donovan stated that the University's registration and
incidental fee at the present time is $60.00 for in-state students and
$90.00 for out-of-state students entering the UniversIty before Septem-
ber 1, 1947, and $120.00 for out-of-state students entering after Sep-
tember 1, 1947, for all colleges except Law, in which case the fee is
$3.00 more than the amounts stated.    He recommended that $1.00 of the
registration and incidental fee be granted to the Community Concert
and Forum Series; $1.25 to the expense and maintenance of the Universi-
ty Infirmary; and $.75 to grants-in-aid.

      Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation
of the President was concurred in.



      L. Name of English Department Changed.

      President Donovan reported that he had received a request from
the Department of English that the title "Department of English Lan-
guage and Literature" be changed to read "Department of English, Speech
and Dramatic Arts."   He stated that he felt that the new title was
more accurate and gave recognition to the work of the department, and
recommended that the request be granted.

      Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Department of
English title was changed to "Department of English, Speech and Dra-
matic Arts". effective as of this date.




 









     M. Policy for Military Leave of Absence.

     President Donovan stated that, during World War II, the Universi-
ty had a policy for leave of absence for faculty and staff members
called to military service, and that the personnel of the University
was again being called into military service.   He said that it seemed
desirable to approve again a policy which could be relied upon by the
staff of the University.

     After some discussicn, upon motion duly made, seconded and car-
ried, the following policy was adopted:


          Any employee of the University of Kentucky, who has
     been in its service at least twelve months, will, on in-
     voluntary induction into active military service, be al-
     lowed fifteen days accumulated vacation with pay.

          Further, such an employee, if on continuous appointment
     at the time of induction into military service, shall be
     granted a leave of absence for the period of active service.
     After receiving an honorable discharge and upon return to
     civilian life, he may resume his former duties at the Uni-
     versity at the rate of remuneration then attached to the
     position. He shall be reinstated as nearly as possible in
     the status occupied at the time of leaving the University,

      Dr. H. L. Donovan
      University of Kentucky

      Dear Dr. Donovan:

           Attached is a request from Mr. Sulzer for the approval
      of sixteen grants-in-aid per semester for students who will
      lend their talents to the work of Station WBKY.    As you
      recall, the greater part of the incidental fee is remitted
      for each of theee students.   It is my understanding that
      when this is approved Mr. Sulzer will have authority to se-
      lect sixteen students for each of the two semesters of the
      1950-51 school year and a like number for the summer session
      of 1951.   He will submit a list of these students to the
      Comptroller's Office prior to the opening of registration
      for each of these three terms.   This request covers the
      same number of grants-in-aid that was approved last year and
      I am recommending that these grants be assigned to the De-
      partment of Radio Arts.

                                             Sincerely,

                                  (Signed) Leo M. Chamberlain
                                            Vice President


     President Donovan recommended that the request be granted, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of
the President was concurred in.

ic year 1950-51, and he recommended that the fund be accepted and
used for the purpose indicated, with the understanding that one half
of the fund be paid to Mr. Vance this semester and the remainder in
the spring semester.

    Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
    The University of Kentucky
    Lexington, Kentucky

    Dear Dr. Donovan:

    Last June at the occasion of the dedication of the new Memori-
    al Coliseum I wrote a musical setting of the very fitting text,
    FOR THE FALLEN, which had been placed on the building corner-
    stone. The University chorus and orchestra performed the work
    at that time, and this summer I have made a hymn arrangement
    of the composition which I should like to offer to the Univers-ty
    with the hope that the hymn might be used on memorial occasions
    in the future.

    I am taking the liberty of enclosing a copy of the hymn arrange-
    ment, all drawn from the first section of the choral works and
    if it meets with your approval I should be very happy to have
    it presented to the University for use on memorial services at

     could reproduce additional copies at little expense for cho-
     rus or audience use.

                                        Very sincerely yours,

                                 (Signed) Kenneth Wright, Associate

      President Donovan explained that scores of people had mentioned
to him how profoundly they were impressed by this composition, and some
