       2. The Lucille Parker Markey Cancer Center launched a new multi-disciplinary lung
          cancer program combining clinical care, research and education to fight the leading
          cancer killer in Kentucky. Researchers will be developing new lung cancer
          treatments, focusing on immunotherapy to enhance patients' immune systems.

       3. The College of Law has reached the top tier in the U.S. News & World Report ranking
          of the nation's law schools. The UK College of Law is ranked 50th among public and
          private law schools.

      4. The third edition of "America 's 100 Best College Buys - 2000" lists UK as one of 63
          public colleges and universities so honored. The book's entries were selected based
          on cost and academic quality. Criteria included grade point average of entering
          freshman and SAT and ACT scores.

       5. The Lexington Community College nursing graduates excel at Licensure
          Examination. Last year's class of graduates had a success rate of 95 percent on the
          exam. The national average is 88 percent. The percentage represents the proportion
          of graduates who passed the test on their first attempt.

      6. Phillip A. Sharp, Nobel Prize Laureate in 1993, received the UK Libraries Medallion
          for Intellectual Achievement. Dr. Sharp changed the field of molecular genetics
          when he discovered DNA molecules occurring in segments or "splicing," raising the
          possibility that cancer might be treated by correcting problems in genetic splicing.

      7. The first graduate of the College of Social Work, Jean Ritchie, has become the first
          member of the College of Social Work Alumni Hall of Fame. She received her
          degree in 1946.

      President Wethington asked the members to read the other items in the report at their
leisure.

      E.    Personnel Actions (PR 2)

      President Wethington recommended that approval be given to the appointments, actions
and/or other staff changes which require Board action; and that the report relative to
appointments and/or changes already approved by the administration be accepted. Mr. Reed
moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mr. Welenken, carried. (See PR 2 at the end of the
Minutes.)

      F.    University Research Professorships (PR 3A!

      President Wethington said that PR 3A recommends that the Board approve the naming of
Professors Peter Perry, Department of Mathematics, Daniel A. Potter, Department of
Entomology, and Steven Weisenburger, Department of English, as University Research
Professors for 1999-2000. In April 1976 the University Senate recommended to the President




 





- 3-



the establishment of one-year Research Professorships and that priority be given to the goal of
establishing permanent Research Professorships as funds became available.

       He stated that the purpose of the University Research Professorships is to enhance and
encourage scholarly research productivity at the University of Kentucky. It allows a faculty
member to concentrate almost solely on research during this period of time. President
Wethington said he was pleased to recommend the approval of PR 3A which will designate the
Research Professorships for 1999-2000. On motion made by Professor Reedy, seconded by
Professor Mather and carried, PR 3A was approved. (See PR 3A at the end of the Minutes.)

       President Wethington asked Professors Perry, Potter and Weisenburger to stand and be
recognized, following which they received a round of applause.

       G.    Appointments/Reappointments to University of Kentucky Business Partnership
Foundation (PR 5A)

      President Wethington stated that PR 5A recommends that approval be given to the
appointments of James J. O'Brien and Terry Woodward and the reappointments of Jack C.
Smith, Jr. and Martin Welenken as members to the Board of Directors of the University of
Kentucky Business Partnership Foundation for four-year terms beginning immediately and
extending through the Fall 2002 Board meeting. He reported that these individuals were
unanimously elected to the Board of Directors of the University of Kentucky Business
Partnership Foundation at their November 18, 1998 meeting. Mrs. Wickliffe moved approval.
Her motion, seconded by Mr. Guthrie, passed. (See PR 5A at the end of the Minutes.)

      H.    Reappointment to Advisory Board - Lexington Community College (PR 5B)

      President Wethington stated that PR 5B recommends that William H. Wilson be
reappointed to the Advisory Board of Lexington Community College for a three-year term
beginning July 1, 1999 and ending June 30, 2002. Mr. Wilson is a staff member with Kentucky
Educational Television and the head of the Prichard Committee on Education. Mr. Brown
moved approval. Mr. Chellgren seconded the motion, and it carried. (See PR 5B at the end of
the Minutes.)

      I.    College of Medicine Report

      President Wethington said he was pleased to have Dr. Emery Wilson, Dean of the
College of Medicine and Vice Chancellor for Clinical Services, make a report on the College.
He briefly reviewed Dr. Wilson's credentials, noting he had been Dean of the College of
Medicine for eleven years. He reported that the College of Medicine has become nationally
recognized by being named one of the top 20 comprehensive medical schools in the United
States for seven consecutive years by US News and World Report.

      Dean Wilson said that Kentucky has a wonderful medical heritage, and the University of
Kentucky College of Medicine is continuing that tradition. The College has 680 full-time and
part-time faculty focusing their efforts in 21 departments and 8 multi-disciplinary centers. In

addition, there are 825 voluntary faculty throughout the state supporting the college's education
mission. There are 2,670 undergraduate students, medical students and residents and 1,980 non-
faculty staff members.

       He stated that the College continues to improve in research and has doubled its National
Institutes of Health (NIH) funding as well as its total research funding over the last five years.
With $52M annually in research grants and contracts, the College is ranked 30th in NIH funding
among public medical schools. For every 3,100 net square feet of research space, the College
generates $lM.

       He reported that each year the physicians treat approximately 32,000 inpatients, 450,000
outpatients and provide more than 900 outreach clinics in central and eastern Kentucky. The
College receives 15.7% of its revenues from state funds and in FY 99 leveraged that into a
$213M budget.

       Dean Wilson distributed material about the College and entertained questions from
members of the Board, following which he received a round of applause for his presentation.

       President Wethington thanked Dean Wilson for his presentation and for his good work in
the College of Medicine.

       Governor Breathitt thanked Dean Wilson, Frank Butler and Chancellor Holsinger for the
things they have done through the years to keep the Chandler Medical Center financially sound.

       J.    Acceptance of Interim Financial Report for the University of Kentucky for the
Eight Months Ended February 28. 1999 (FCR 1)

       Mr. Hardymon, Chairperson of the Finance Committee, reported that the Finance
Committee met and considered 23 items on the agenda. He said that FCR 1 is the acceptance of
the Interim Financial Report for the Eight Months Ending February 28, 1999. He noted that the
revenues are running ahead of the expenditures at this time of year but are in line with previous
years' percentages. He commented on the positive cash flow and said that it leads to a very
positive and strong balance sheet. He said that there are some fluctuations, and those were
discussed in the Finance Committee meeting. He moved approval of FCR 1. Mr. Chellgren
seconded his motion, and it passed. (See FCR 1 at the end of the Minutes.)

       K.    Patent Assignment Report (FCR 2)

       Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 2 recommends that the patent assignment report for the
period January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999 be accepted. He reported that there were six
patents in the quarterly report and reviewed each assignment. He moved approval of FCR 2.
His motion, seconded by Dr. Meriwether, carried. (See FCR 2 at the end of the Minutes.)




 








       L.    Abercrombie Foundation Pledge (FCR 3)

       Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 3 recommends that the Board of Trustees accept a $500,000
pledge from the Abercrombie Foundation of Versailles, Kentucky, to establish the Pin Oak Stud
Endowed Research Fund in the College of Agriculture's Gluck Equine Research Center in the
Department of Veterinary Science.

       He said that the pledge is contingent on the University's receiving matching funds from
the state's Research Challenge Trust Fund (RCTF), which would create a $1,000,000 fund to
enhance innovative research at the Gluck Center. The foundation's pledge will be paid in five
equal annual installments beginning this year. He moved approval of FCR 3. His motion,
seconded by Mr. Welenken, passed. (See FCR 3 at the end of the Minutes.)

      M.    Albert G. and Lorraine N. Clay Endowment for Visiting Scholars (FCR 4)

      Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 4 recommends that the Board of Trustees establish and
endow the Albert G. and Lorraine N. Clay Endowment for Visiting Scholars in the College of
Agriculture's Department of Veterinary Science with $250,000 in earnings from the Albert G.
and Lorraine N. Clay Charitable Annuity Lead Trust.

      He reported that Albert G. and Lorraine N. Clay established a Charitable Annuity Lead
Trust in 1996 to provide support for the Department of Veterinary Science, and this is a Trust
whereby the University receives the income from the Trust. The Clays have been long-time
supporters of the University. Mr. Clay was a member of the UK Board of Trustees for more than
20 years and recently served as chair of the UK Equine Research Foundation Board for 10 years.

      He said that the Clays have specified that five years of income from the trust be endowed
to allow the original directives of the trust to be carried out in perpetuity. The designation of
$250,000 for an endowment is contingent on the University's receiving matching funds from the
state's Research Challenge Trust Fund, which would create a $500,000 endowment. On motion
made by Mr. Hardymon, seconded by Mr. Guthrie and passed, FCR 4 was approved. (See FCR
4 at the end of the Minutes.)

      N.    Ann Scott and Ralph E. Mason Gift (FCR 5)

      Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 5 recommends that the Board of Trustees accept a gift of
$50,000 from Ann Scott and Ralph E. Mason of Maysville, Kentucky, to establish and endow the
Ann Scott and Ralph E. Mason Visiting Scholars Program in Voice Performance in the College
of Fine Arts' School of Music.

      He said that Mrs. Mason is a 1944 graduate of the UK School of Music. After a
successful singing and teaching career, she and her husband returned to their native Maysville
and have been generous supporters of the School of Music. The Visiting Scholars Program will
fund the visit of vocal artists and master teachers for recitals, master classes and other events
related to the School of Music's graduate and research missions. The gift is contingent on
matching funds being received from the state's Research Challenge Trust Fund. He moved

       He reported that the University of Kentucky alumni members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
social fraternity have been raising funds for a new fraternity house since 1995. Nearly 500
SAE's have contributed to the project. The house is located on Rose Lane and is scheduled for
completion this fall. He said that he had visited the house recently and encouraged members of
the Board to see it. He moved approval of FCR 6. Mr. Welenken seconded the motion, and it
passed. (See FCR 6 at the end of the Minutes.)

      P.    Anonymous Gift to Establish an Endowed Scholarship Fund (FCR 7)

      Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 7 is an anonymous gift. The recommendation is that the

      He stated that the donor established the fund to provide financial assistance for qualified
students to benefit from a college education. The purpose was to enable students to receive an
education that might otherwise be denied them because of financial resources. Additional
contributions to the fund will be made by the donor annually and by the donor's estate. On
motion made by Mr. Hardymon, seconded by Mr. Reed and carried, FCR 7 was approved. (See
FCR 7 at the end of the Minutes.)

      Q.    Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company Pledge (FCR 8)

      Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 8 recommends that the Board of Trustees accept a pledge of
$250,000 from the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company of Louisville, Kentucky, to establish

      U.    Gordon L. Hyde. M.D. Professorship in General Surgery Research
(FCR 12)

      Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 12 is asking the Board of Trustees to accept a pledge of
$40,000 from Gordon L. Hyde, M.D. of Lexington, Kentucky, and a gift of $11,000 from Dr.
Hyde's colleagues and friends to create and endow the Gordon L. Hyde, M.D. Professorship in
General Surgery in the College of Medicine. The Board is also requested to approve the transfer
of $31,830 in an existing lectureship named in Dr. Hyde's honor to the endowed professorship.

      He said that a group of University of Kentucky alumni, friends and former residents who
trained under Dr. Hyde made this $11,000 contribution for the professorship. A condition of the
gifts and of Dr. Hyde's pledge is that the funds be matched by the state's Research Challenge
Trust Fund. The $31,830, however, will not be matched. He noted that the pledge will be paid
over a five-year period beginning in 1999 and moved approval of FCR 12. Mr. Williams
seconded the motion, and it carried. (See FCR 12 at the end of the Minutes.)

      V.    Historic Preservation Advisory Committee Gift and Pledge (FCR 13)

      Mr. Hardymon reminded the Board of the relatively new graduate program called the
Master of Historic Preservation. The College of Architecture Historic Preservation Advisory
Committee is a 25-member body created in 1998 to assist the college in building this program.
FCR 13 recommends that the Board of Trustees accept gifts of $24,100 and pledges of $226,400
from 18 members of the College of Architecture Historic Preservation Advisory Committee to
establish and endow professorships and to provide graduate education support for the College of
Architecture. The advisory committee and the dean will later recommend the number of
professorships to be endowed and the amounts to go into an endowment to support graduate
education and research.

      Mr. Hardymon pointed out that there were three major donors: Mrs. Edith Bingham of
Louisville, Kentucky, has committed $ 100,000; James P. Gray, Jr. of Lexington, Kentucky, has
committed $50,000; Linda and Jerry Bruckheimer of Bloomfield, Kentucky, and Los Angeles,
California, have committed $50,000. Fifteen other donors have pledged between $500 and
$5,000. The total of all gifts and pledges is $250,500. Pledges will be paid within five years. A
condition of the gifts is that the $250,500 be matched by the state's Research Challenge Trust
Fund. He moved approval of FCR 13. His motion, seconded by Professor Reedy passed. (See
FCR 13 at the end of the Minutes.)

      Governor Breathitt said that this is another example of outreach from a college. The
College of Architecture and its Dean have been working with Louisville officials in establishing
a downtown center like the one in downtown Lexington. He congratulated President
Wethington, Chancellor Zinser, and Dean Mohney for a new example of what the University is
doing to serve its statewide mission.

       W.    James F. Hardymon Pledge (FCR 14)

       On motion made by Mr. Hardymon, seconded by Dr. Meriwether and carried, the Board
approved the recommendation that a pledge and a deferred gift of $2,000,000 (a $1,500,000
pledge and a $500,000 deferred gift) from James F. Hardymon of Lexington, Kentucky, to
establish two endowed chairs to be known as the James F. Hardymon Chair in Manufacturing

Business Administration five-year dual degree program be accepted. (See FCR 14 at the end of
the Minutes.)

       Governor Breathitt thanked Mr. Hardymon for his major gift and his commitment to the
University and the Board. He expressed appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Hardymon for their many
anonymous gifts to the University.

      President Wethington also expressed his appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Harydmon for their
contribution but particularly for their leadership. This gift signifies what the capital campaign is
about and is a challenge to other Board members and to the alumni to help insure the future of
the University of Kentucky through the capital campaign. He reminded the Board that the
University is involved in a five-year campaign to raise major amounts of money for the people
resources of the university: for endowed chairs, professorships, and scholarships. He reiterated
his appreciation to Mr. Hardymon for the amount of the gift and for what the gift signifies. This
truly is a strong commitment to the University from two alumni of the institution who believe
that the University did some wonderful things for them and are willing to give back to the
University to help insure the future for other men and women who will be coming to the
University in the years ahead. He thanked Mr. Hardymon for his fantastic gift to the University
of Kentucky at a very important time. Mr. Harydmon received a round of applause.

      Mr. Hardymon thanked everyone for their fine comments.

      X.    James R. and Elise W. Boyd Gift and Pledge (FCR 15)

      Mr. Hardymon said that FCR 15 is asking the Board of Trustees to accept a gift of
$75,000 and a pledge of $25,000 from James R. and Elise W. Boyd of Lexington, Kentucky, to
establish and endow the James R. Boyd Professorship in Electrical Engineering in the College of
