President Donovan stated that contract for excavation and
foundation work on the Auditorium-Fieldhouse was awarded to Grayson
Jones Construction Company under date of March 21, 1947 and contract
for the fabrication and erection of structural steel was awarded to
MIidland Structural Steel Coa poration March 21, 1947. He reported
that recently some news items had appeared in papers auestioning the
progress of the work of the contractors on this building and he had
requested one of the architects, Mr, John T. Gillig, Mir. Grayson
Jones, contractor, and Mr. William Nemec of the Allied Structural
Steel Com.pany, representing Midland Structural Steel Corporation, to
be present at this meeting of the Committee. Mr. Gillig, Mr. Jones,
and Mr. Nemec were invited in to the meeting.
Mr. Gillig, one of the Architects Associated, submitted a
progress report on the excavation and foundation contract. He stated
that the progress made by the Grayson Jones Construction Company was,
in his judgment, satisfactory, all conditions being considered.
Mr. Jones submitted a table showing the weather conditions for
each week day since receipt of the contract and called attention of
the Committee to the fact that an unusual number of rains had oc-
curred during the period of construction which prevented work on the
excavation and foundation. He submitted facts to show that he had
employed on the job a crew of workmen ranging from thirty to forty-
five men daily during recent months and stated that he was more
2
anxious than any one to complete the work required by the contract.
He estimated that his work would be completed the first of March.
Mr. Nemec spoke for the Midland Structural Steel Corporation
and enumerated various reasons why steel companies had been delayed
in fabricating orders and complying with schedules. He stated that
the steel work for this job was different from most jobs, requiring
special fabrication for each part of the steel structure. He stated
that most of the material was now available to the steel company and,
in his judLment, would be completely fabricated by the middle of
April, shipment should be made to the University about the first of
May and erection of the structural steel would start immediately.
The members of the Committee asked these men various questions
and after a ger.eral discussion Mr. Gillig, 14r. Jones, and Ir. Nemec
were thanked on behalf of the Committee for ao-earing at the meeting,

plans and specifications followed and upon motion duly made, seconded
and carried, plans and specifications were accepted by the Committee
subject to final approval by the University authorities,asked to
further examine the plans and read the specifications.
On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Committee also

11
COLLEGE OF PHAR14ACY
November 7, 1947
Dr. -. L. Donovan, President
University of Kentucky
Lexington, Ky.
Dear Dr. Donovan;
In the second and third years we have a course known as
Pharmacognosy, It is a laboratory course, and among other
things, involves the furnishing to the student of a samnle of
a crude drug. The boxes alone in which these samples are
distributed involve a heavy item of expense, and in view of
the present unsettled state of the wirorld drug market, we find
many drugs, if obtainable at all, almost prohibitive in orice.
For these reasons we would like a special laboratory fee of
$10.OO per (1j5,00 por semester) for each of these courses.
This will not completely defray the costs, but the college
can afford to make up the difference. This sum is not unfair
to the student, for we were formerly charging a materials fee
of $10.00 per semester for all four years as a means of avoid-
ing loss on laboratory materials. While the materials fee
covered other things in other courses, it was largely spent
on the Pharmacognosy course,
Will you -lease see if the Board of Trustees agree that this
is a reasonable recuest. We have already charged it in order
to protect the college, but we can refund, it if the recuest is
di sallowe d.
I am enclosing a reprint of an article which aoneared recently
in the Saturday Evening Post, While the type has been reduced
greatly in size, the item is of considerable interest and will
amplify what I have said about the drug market, The firm
profiled in this store is our chief supplier of crude drugs,
Very truly yours,
/s! Earl P. Slone
Earl P. Slone, Dean
President Donovan recommended approval of the request, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the course fee of Five
Dollars ($5.00) per semester for each of the courses in Pharmacognosy
in the second and third years, was authorized approved,
