       President Donovan stated that he had invited Mr. Ernst Johnson, of
the firm of Brock and Johnson, architects, to meet with the Executive Com-
mittee to show suggested re-development of the Cooperstown area.

       Mr. Johnson met with the Committee and produced a master plan
for the Cooperstown area, showing proposed sites and buildings, roadways,
et cetera. He stated that, under the proposed plan, permanent type build-
ings could be erected to house approximately 320 married students and
their families. He produced two apartment layouts, one suggesting an
efficiency apartment to take care of two people, and a different suggestion
to take care of married students with families.

       Members of the Committee indicated keen interest in the develop-
ment of the Cooperstown area, and the suggested development program as

ment buildings to convert Cooperstown area from temporary housing quar-
ters to a permanent apartment house project for married students attending
the University of Kentucky.

       President Donovan submitted a deed to right-of-way for an addition-
al 30 feet along the farm in Graves County for the reconstruction of a road
along University property.  He stated that Dean Welch and Mr. Peterson
had examined the proposed deed and recommended its approval. It was
thought that the granting of the deed to right-of-way would permit reconstruc-
tion of the road that touches University property, and would thereby help the
University farm in Graves County.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the deed to right-of-
way was approved and authorized executed on behalf of the University of
Kentucky.



       F. Purchase of House and Lot at 725 Rose Street.

185. 5i on the other. The house is a two-story frame building which has been




 










made into apartments and can be used for housing students attending the Uni-
versity.  A frame garage is located to the rear of the house. It was re-
called that this house and lot are adjacent to University property and should
definitely be acquired for future expansion.

       President Donovan recommended that the house and lot be purchased
at a price of $15, 500. 00, possession to be given at the time of transfer of
deed.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Comptroller
was authorized to purchase house and lot at $15, 500, and to pay for same
from the Haggin Fund.



       G. Cooperative Agreement with United States Geological Survey.

       President Donovan submitted Cooperative Agreement for investiga-
tion of water resources between the Geological Survey, U. S. Department
of the Interior, and the University of Kentucky. He stated that the contract
involves the amount of $700. 00, which represents a contribution to the Uni-
versity by Kentucky Utilities.  This type of contract has been carried on
for several years.

Agreement was approved and authorized executed on behalf of the Universi-
ty, and the sum of $700. 00 paid to the Geological Survey, United States
Department of the Interior.



       H, House on Washington Avenue Assigned to Experiment Station.

       President Donovan reported request from Dean Frank J. Welch for
house on Washington Avenue to be used for office space for the School of
Home Economics, with the understanding that the College of Agriculture
and Home Economics or the Experiment Station would pay for the cost in-
volved in renovating the house and getting it in condition to be used as an
office building. President Donovan explained that the College needed
additional office facilities for home economists working in teaching, re-
search and extension programs.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the house on Wash-
ington Avenue was assigned to house home economists.



       I. Space South of Small Animal Laboratory Assigned.

       President Donovan explained that additional facilities were needed in
the program of the Agronomy department.  He reported that the Agronomy
greenhouse and head house were planned, and that Dean Welch and others
wanted to locate the Agronomy greenhouse and head house south of the Small




 





4



Animal Laboratory.  The location of the Agronomy greenhouse at this
point would place it in proximity to other greenhouses, offices and labora-
tories carrying on similar work.

       President Donovan recommended that the site be approved and the
space assigned for dual Agronomy greenhouse and head house, as planned.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Executive Com-
mittee concurred in the recommendation of the President.



       J. Report on Foreign Operations Administration Program.

       President Donovan reported Dean Herman E. Spivey and Dr. E. J.
Nesius were at this time in Yugoslavia making an investigation necessary
for a possible contract between F. 0. A. , Yugoslavia, and the University of
Kentucky. He explained that the University was interested in contracting
with Yugoslavia to conduct international cooperative technical training which
the Foreign Office Administration has been sponsoring for some time. He
reported that a large number of American institutions had contracted for
various types of technical cooperative training in foreign areas. He read a
list of universities which had similar contracts. He stated that he felt
that Doctor Spivey and Doctor Nesius would return the latter paxt of July,
and what the University chose to do would depend largely upon the report
which they would make.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the report was re-
ceived and authorized made of record.



       K. Free Fee Award.

       President Donovan submitted a recommendation of Dean Frank G.
Dickey, of the College of Education, that Mr. Donato Pableo be granted a
free-fee scholarship for the summer session of 1954.  He explained that
Mr. Pableo made an exceptionally fine record here and has been awarded
a graduate fellowship for 1954-55, to continue his research studies.

       President Donovan joined in the recommendation, and upon motion
duly made, seconded and carried, the Committee concurred in the recomn-
mendation of the President.



       L. Transfer of Laboratory Equipment Approved.

       President Donovan reported that Mr. Ben S. Adams, Commissioner
of Agriculture, had requested transfer of certain laboratory equipment which
the University of Kentucky has on hand and which is not immediately needed.
He further reported that this laboratory equipment had become available
through the transfer of the Public Service Laboratories to the State Depart-
ment of Health.

       He read a list of the equipment, and upon motion duly made, seconded
and carried, the equipment was authorized transferred to the Kentucky De-
partment of Agriculture, and the list filed with the Secretary of the Board of
Trustees.



       M. Request of Dr. Earl Kauffman to Conduct Research Study.

       President Donovan reported request of the Greater Lexington Com-
mittee that Dr. Earl Kauffman, Associate Professor of Physical Education,
be permitted to conduct a research study to determine the leisure patterns
of people in the Greater Lexington area. He reported that Doctor Kauffman
would spend about seven hours per week on this research for a period of ten
months, and would be compensated at a rate of $37. 50 per week. Dean
White concurred in the recommendation.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, Dr. Earl Kauffman
was granted permission to conduct a research study for the Greater Lexing-
ton Committee.



       N. Policy Regarding Distinguished Professors.

       President Donovan reported that, upon his recommendation, the
Board of Trustees had appointed about seven or eight Distinguished Profes-
sors in the University of Kentucky, and it is thought that these men have
merited and received a recognition from the University.  They are some
of the most distinguished teachers at the University and should be permitted
to do more research and writing. He submitted a recommendation that
Distinguished Professors at the University not be required to teach in the
summer school after 1954, in order that they may do research and writing.

       Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the following policy
regarding Distinguished Professors was adopted:


              "Those individuals who were appointed Distinguished
       Professors at the University some years ago will not be re-
       quired to teach in the summer school after 1954, in order
       that they may do research and writing. It is understood that,
       if they accept positions for the summer at another institution,
       they will not be on the payroll of the University while on salary
       at another institution.

             "This policy is made because the number of students
      enrolled in the University during the summer is only about
      40 per cent of the enrollment during the academic year, and
      the services of these Distinguished Professors are not need-
      ed in the classroom. Since they are all productive scholars,
      their time can be used to a better advantage in research and
      writing. "




 










          0. Bath House--Food Storage Building.

          President Donovan reported that the Board of Trustees of the Uni-
versity of Kentucky and the Board of Directors of the Athletic Corporation
had requested bids for the construction of a bath house--food storage building.
The bids ranged from $192, 000 to $212,000. He also reported an alternate
for increasing the size of the dry food storage room an additional 65, 000
cubic feet. The low bid for this additional work was $9, 100, or a cost of
14 cents per cubic foot.

          President Donovan and the Comptroller recommended that the bid
for the bath house --food storage building, including additional space, be award-
ed in the amount of $201, 100. The President further reported that the archi-
tect, in conference with the successful bidder, had ascertained the cost of
the bath- house wing, plus its portion of the mechanical room to be $69, 500,
with $131, 600 allocated to that portion of the building to be used for dry food
storage room and its portion of the mechanical room. He recalled that
the Executive Committee of the Board had heretofore authorized the Uni-
versity to enter into a Lease Agreement with the Board of Directors of the
Athletic Corporation to amortize the cost of the dry food storage building
over a period of ten years. He indicated that the annual rental would be
$13, 160 plus interest, and suggested the sum of $40, 000 as advance payment
on amortization of this indebtedness, this amount to be taken from balances
accumulated through supervision of service and auxiliary units by the Comptrol-
ler, s office.

          The Committee heard the recommendation, and upon motion duly
made, seconded and carried, authorized awarding of the contract for con-
struction of the bath house--food storage building, and approved the rental
of the facilities to be used for dry food storage and the advanced payment
upon annual rental.

from Grayson Foundation, Inc., was ordered accepted, and President Donovan

                                    From: Kentucky Society for Crippled
                                          Children -- $15, 092. 00.

        President Donovan stated that the University of Kentucky and the Ken-
tucky Society for Crippled Children had entered into an Agreement, subject
to approval by the Board of Trustees or Executive Committee, He read the
following:

                            AGREEMENT

             It is mutually agreed by the University of Kentucky and
        the Kentucky Society for Crippled Children that there is a dis-
        tinct need for the development of a Hearing Center which would
        provide both professional training and services to persons hav-
        ing impaired hearing. Inasmuch as the University of Kentucky
        does not have personnel available for a Hearing Center and inas-
        much as the University desires the development of a Hearing
        Center including professional training and direct service to persons
        with impaired hearing, it is agreed that the Kentucky Society for
        Crippled Children will make available to the University of Ken-
        tucky a grant-in-aid which will be used solely for the purposes
        defined in the grant request.

             The Kentucky Society for Crippled Children will appropriate
        to the University of Kentucky the sum of $15, 092 for the two year
        period beginning September 1, 1954 and ending August 31, 1956.
        The account of $7, 946 is to be granted immediately and will
        cover the period from September 1, 1954 to August 30, 1955.
        These funds are to be expended as follows: Audiologist $5642. 00
        including Social Security and travel; graduate assistant $1080. 00;
        clerical service (half-time) including Social Security, $1224. 00.
        Said personnel shall be employed, directed and paid in accordance
        with the University personnel of same rank and title and shall at
        no time be used by the University in capacities other than those
        outlined herein, The employment of the above mentioned person-
        nel shall begin on or about September 1, 1954

             The remaining portion of the grant for the year 1955-56,
       $7, 146. 00, will be paid to the University of Kentucky after appro-
       priate evaluation of progress during 1954-55, has been made and
       after the Kentucky Society for Crippled Children Board has so
       recommended.   Any unused portion of the 1954-55 grant is to be
       returned to the Society with the understanding that it be kept for
       use in the Hearing Center for the year 1955-56 or thereafter.

             In carrying out the functions of the Hearing Center, persons
       provided for under the agreement shall be under the direction of
       the Head of the Department of Psychology and the Director of the
       Speech and Hearing Center.
             All personnel employed shall be specifically qualified for the
       various positions.
