Patterson with respect to the payment of the $2,700 claim allowed
him by the Attorney Genera' and ordered paid to him by the Board
of Trustees on April 1, 1919:
Lexington, Kentucky,
April 9, 1919
President Frank L. McVey,
University of Kentucky,
Lexington, Kentucky.
My dear Doctor McVey:
Courtesy requires that I should advise you why I declined Lo
this morning to receive the cheque for $2,700 due me on the opin-
ion rendered by the Attorney General and why I refused to sign the
receipt presented me by the Business Agent after reading the ex-
cerpt from the minutes of the Board of Trustees.
This receipt contained matter not included in the opinion and
went beyond the limits of the settlement of my claim as presented.
It would, if signed, have obtained by indirection my acquiescence
in the flagrant injustice done me by the Board of Trustees in 1912
in their repudiation of a contract on which I based my resignation
in 1910.
I write this to you because you are the head of the Univer-
sity and as such signed the cheque which I refused to accept on
the conditions presented in the receipt -- not that I in any sense
associate you with the action taken by the Board.
Sincerely yours,
James K. Patterson.
The receipt which Doctor Patterson was asked to sign was
prepared in the following form:

unpaid arrears presented by mde Deoember 20, 1917, less interest
disallowed by the Attorney General to whom the claim was referred
by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Uni-
versity for an opinion on its validity. The opinion of the At-
torney General affirmed the justice of the olaim, barring the
interest and recommended the payment of $2,700 as a "quittanoe
of the entire claim as presented'. Payment is accepted in oon-
formity with an order of the Board of Trustees of the University
of Kentucky, made at its regular meeting April 1, 1919.

We are crediting the account of the Phoenix and Third Trust

(8) The following statement was read from the Business Agent:
I have not paid A. G. McGregor rent for Maxwell Hall for two
months on account of amount expended by the University for repair
of radiators. He has been to see me and makes claim that all such
repairs were assumed by the University. I discussed this question
with Mr. Gordon at February meeting of Executive Committee and he
gave it as his opinion that MoGregor is liable for the cost of the
repairs, provided he was notified and asked to make the repairs be-
fore the University had the work done. Mr. Whipple says that Mc-
Gregor had such notice. I am attaching the contract for further
examination, and I would like further advice as to payment. On
motion made and seconded, the matter was referred to the Chairman
of the Exeoutive Committee for his opinion.
(9) Or motion made and seconded, the President was authorized
to have the Old Dormitory repaired and put into condition for reci-
tation rooms for work next year.
(10) President MoVey reported to the Committee that he had been
consimering having the Quartermaster Building which had been used
by te Students' Army Training Corps, and which had been salvaged
by the UniTersity, constructed into dwellings for the Superintendent
of Buildings and Grounds and the Commandant. He stated that the
Commarndant should be furnished with a dwelling and that the other
building could be rented to the Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds, who, he believed, should live on the campus. He stated
that he was inclined to recommend to the Committee that such arrange-
ments be made provided the funds could be found for the purpose, the
approximate amount needed being about $2,500. On motion made and
seconded, the suggestion was approved.
(11) A motion was made, seconded and carried, designating Major
D. 0. Byars Commandant of the Cadet Corps. Announcement was made
by the President that Captain Royden had been retired effective
April 30, 1919. The Committee passed a motion permitting his family
to occupy the house on the campus until June 15, 1919.
