MI1\1'JTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,Dec. 9, 1902 - page 158-159



Gentlemen:

      I am gratified to meet the mid-winter Session of the
Board with the encouraging report of a good beginning and
of satisfactory progress.

      The total matriculation to date is 527 with a large
preference in the college proper. The outlook now is that
the matriculation will be increased by 150 more after the
Christmas Holidays - making the largest attendance in the
history of the institution. It is gratifying to know that
the unprovoked and wanton assault made towards the close of
the last collegiate year by the newspapers of the city and
their abbettors upon the management of the College utterly
failed of its purpose. These papers though brought up and
circulated by scores and by hundreds all over the State,
found generally but little credence from those to whom they
were addressed. It soon became known that personal animosity
evenoned the shaft and winged it's flijght.  Though a momen-
tary impression was sometimes made, the reaction quickly
followed. The work of the college was too well known and
its graduate results too well established to be compromised
by the gratuitous malignity of its detractors. The causeless
attack  is now well nigh forgotten or remembered only to the
discredit of the traducers of the College.  There has been
greater interest manifested by the public in the organization
and work of the College than ever heretofore. Enquiries
about its courses of study, the method of obtaining appoint-
ments and the immunities conferred thereby, the expenses
incident to college residence have been frequent beyond
precedent.

      In October the Synods of the Northern and Southern
branches of the Presbyterian Church while in session in
Lexington were invited to the college grounds and buildings
and provided with an entertainment, - the expense of which
was borne by the Faculty. They expressed both gratification
and surprise at the extent and compass of its operations,
the value of its educational plant and the abundant
facilities for scientific and technical instruction,
and not least at the roll of its matriculates - larger
than that of any other two institutions in Kentucky.

                                 Pres. Report Cont'd.

      Later on the Good Roads Association met in Lexinggton
and held its session in the Chapel of the State College.
The association was composed of men of intelligence and
influence, Mayors of cities and towns, County Judges,
delegates from Boards of Trade and editors of newspapers.
i was organized under the auspices of the Louisville
Commercial Club and continued in session two days. Besides
an introductory address by the President of the College
material assistance was given to the convention by members
of the faculty. Prof. Scovell delivered an address upon
the drainage of' roads; Prof. Brooks upon Road Construction;
Prof. Miller upon available material in kentucky for making
roads. Profs. Anderson and Faig upon the testing of materials
and Prof. Norwood upon what the State College obuld do for
good roads. All of these lectures were illustrated either
by diagrams, by atereoptican views, by material collected
and exhibited and by the operation of the testing machine
of the Mechanical Engineering laboratory.

      It was a great opportunity   for the College to exhibit
its numbers; its professional staff; its work and its
capabilities for  practical aid to such association.

      It was a great occasion and amply justified the
contribution of $50.00 made at my instance by the Chairman
of the Executive Committee for the entertainment of the
delegates.

      Acting under the authority given me by the Board at
their meeting in June, I selected after conference with the
authorities of the War Department, Capt. Geo. L. Byroade
of the Regular Army, temporarily retirned on account of
illness contracted by service in Cuba and the Phillipines.




 







MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ,Dec. 9, 1902 - page 161 -162



      He is 32 years of age, bright, active, and ambitious
to do his work well.  He is interested in bringing his
battallion up to the standard of efficiency required by the
'lar Department, which have issued to all the Land Grant
Colleges instructions looking toward greater exactness,
thoroughness and proficiency than has heretofore obtained.
A minimum of duty and instruction is set forth below which
it will be hazardous to fall, the penalty being the with-
drawal of the officer and possibly the diminution of the fund
annually accruing from the proceeds of the Land Grant.

      During the meeting of the State Teacher's Association
which was held in Lexington at the State College in June
a resolution was unanimously adopted by that body requesting
the Board of Trustees to provide for a Summer School. of
six weeks duration for the instruction of teachers. If
the Board concede this request and I am strongly of the
opinion that they should, I would couple with the subjects
ordinarily taught in the elements of Chemistry, Botany,
Zoology, Physics, Anatomy and Physiology. I think it would
be well to imbue young teachers with a love of nature and
of natural processes - a love which they might infuse into
their pupils. I am quite satisfied that much of the
curriculum of Common School studies, especially for the
rural communities, could be advantageously recast; and
this expediency and necessity could be naturally strengthened
by the concurrent action and influence of the body of State
teachers upon the Legislature.

      It would greatly strengthened the bonds which unite
the common schools of Kentucky to the College and gradually
create a constituency which would find the ultimate goal
of education in its practical application to the development
of Agriculture and the Mechanical Arts in the State College,
the recognized head of the common school system. I recommend
that authority be given to the Faculty to establish as an
experiment a six weeks course of instruction during the
summer vacation and that an appropriation be made from
the College funds for this purpose.

      Since M~Larch ofthis year I have visited and addressed
the High Schools of Catlettsburg, Newport, Ashland,
Harrodsburg and the three High Schools of Louisville, -
the Manual Training Schools of Cincinnati, and the Normal
School and Ogden College in Bowling Green.




 








MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,Dec. 9, 1902 - page 162-163



I have also visited and addressed the County Institutes of
Pulaski and Henry Counties and the congressional district
associations of teachers of the 7th district held at
Eminence and the 2nd. district held at Owensboro. Of course
the main feature of all these addresses was the State College
and its relation to Common Schools and High Schools in
Kentucky.

      I think the other members of the Faculty ought to be
encouraged and stimulated to do much of this kind of work
and suggest an expression of opinion by the Board on this
subject.

     There is a Young Ments Christiants Association
connected with the College. This has been in existance
for some years and has exerted a good influence upon the
body of the students, But the association has not been so
strong as it might become with a little more encouragement
and a little substantial aid from the College. For many
years it had no attractive place of meeting, no furniture
except a few common chairs, no books or periodicals except
through a chance bequest. Occasionally entertainments
were improvised and given in the Chapel by which small sums
of money were raised and applied to meet their necessities.
A good hall has now been placed at their disposal in the
new building, but it needs additional attractive furniture
and an increased supply of periodical literature. I suggest
that an appropriation of 4100 be made by this Board to
assist in this direction. Some months ago they raised
from the Faculty a handsome sum by subscription, which
supplemented by additions made thereto by citizens of the
town, assisted them materially. I may observe in this
connection that some of the friends of the denominational
Colleges have made it a matter of reproach, against the
State College that its young Men's Christian Association
had a merely nominal existance phat i.t was neglected by
the college authorities and thence it was inferred that a
reprehensible absence of proper religious influence
existed. They alleged that the religious element in
the denominational Colleges fosters and encourages
their Y. M. C. A. organizations and urge this as a strong
reason why their respective religious denominations should
patronize their own colleges in preference to a State




 







MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRLTSTEESDec. 9, 1902 - page 164 -165



institution in which no denomination has any special interest.
This reproach may be dissipated - or neutralized by the
liberali y suggested.

      Some musical concerts, embracing home and foreign
talent, have within the present collegiate year been given
in the Chapel, mainly the activity of Prof. Fang - a young
man of fine musical tastes and attainments. The services
of those who took part in the entertainment have, I believe,
been given gratuitously, but incidental expenses occur
which the projectors of these entertainments should not be
asked to meet out of their own pocket. I therefore, respect-
fully ask that an appropriation of $50.00 be made for the
current collegiate year and placed in proper hands for
meeting these contingent outlays.

      I desire to call attention to the necessity of the
Department of Chemistry for more available space. The
Experiment Station and the College Department of Chemistry
occupy the same building.  it is too small for their joint
occupancy. The pecuniary interest of the College in the
Building at its present valuation is $9000 - of the
Station $3000.

      The Board sometime since ordered the payment by the
Station of the pecuniary interest of the College in the
Station Building and the erection with the proceeds of a
separate building for the Chemical Department leaving
the Station in possession of the old building. Upon the
submission of plans and specifications with estimates thereon
the Building Committee found the funds at their disposal
insufficient and have therefore postponed further action
till the December meeting of the Board of Trustees.

      I was both surprised and distressed to learn a few
days ago from one of the members of the anti-gambling
league - a voluntary association recently formed to combat
gambling in the City of Lexington, - that students of the
State College have been discovered at places where allure-
ments for this vice abound. My informant stated that
facilities for faro, roulette and other games of chance
exist in connection with most of the saloons of the city;
that they present opportunities for clandestine visitations
by students difficult to discover and difficult to prevent.
Those who visit such resorts go sometimes, no doubt from
curiosity but more frequently to indulge a passion for
drink and for gaming and these habits are so utterly at
variance with the purpose for which students leave their




 








MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESDec. 9, 1902 - page 165-166



home that if unchecked they lead to ruin and disgrace
instead of character and distinction. There are regulations
forbidding students to visit saloons, gambling houses and
places of prostitution and when offenders are discovered
they are dealt with and penalties are attached.

      Warrants have been sworn out against persons dis-
covered gambling in these places and lists of witnesses will.
be summoned before the Grand Jury. These lists may include
some of our matriculates and if so, would involve both the
parties themselves, their parents and the College in
humilation,  I think it proper that the Board should know
these facts. Students while in connection with the College
are your wards. It behooves you to throw every safeguard
around them and to take all available measures to prevent
them from falling into vicious habits and when such habits
have without the knowledge of the College authorities been
formed, to ref orm them.

      I know it can be said that it is almost impossible
to close vicious resorts - that they exist as blots upon
the civilization of the age and have existed notwithstanding
all efforts to abate or abolish them. This is true, but
is there not something for us to do in the way of prevention
or cure? We must place ourselves on record.

      The outbreak of an epidemic of Typhoid Fever in the
town shortly after the session opened caused us eome
alarm. The sanitary precautions which were immediately
taken prevented any development of the malady upon the
grounds or among the students lodging elsewhere. With
one or two exceptions and these in all probality brought
the germs of the disease with them, there were no cases
among our students male or female.

      Later on small-pox broke out in the town, many were
stricken and a large number were consigned to the pest
house. Some half dozen of our students were exposed to
infection. These were immediately isolated, giving them
the option of quarantine or leaving college for a time.
They chose the latter alternative. Vaccination was




 







MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESDec. 9, 1902 - page 167



enjoined upon all. The order was complied with and we
escaped without a single case of the disease.

      Prof, Wernicke's application for leave of absence
for one year was referred to me by the Board at its regular
meeting in June, with power to make temporary provision
for supplying instruction in modern languages for the
current Collegiate year. I am glad to report that I have
made satisfactory arrangements for the continuance of the
work of this department.

      The late Geo. W. Crum of Jefferson County left by
his will $500 to be invested by the Board of Trustees for
and in behalf of the Patterson Society7 of the College - the
annual proceeds accruing therefrom to be used for the purchase
of a medal to be given by the Society to the winner of the
prize in oratory. This money is in the hands of the
Treasurer of the College and should be invested for
the Society.

      In conclusion I beg to congratulate you upon the
satisfactory condition of the College - its past history,
its present status and its prospective growth and usefulness.
I desire also to thank you for your continued confidence
and support.

                        I have the honor to be
                              your Ob't. Servant,

     Report of Committee on Pres. Report.

Gentlemen: -

     Your Committee to whom has been referred the President's
report, respectfully report to your Honorable Body that we
have carefully considered the several suggestions and re-
commendations made by him, and we recommend the following:


First: - That the faculty be authorized to establish a
Summer School for the instruction of teachers along the
lines as the President suggests, and that the expenses there-
of be paid by the College.


Second: - That the sum of $100.00 be appropriated for the
benefit of the Young Men's Christian Association.


Third: - That the sum of $50.00 be appropriated for
musical entertainments.


Fourth: - That full and unlimited power and authority be
conferred upon the faculty to make such regulations and
enforce the same with such Denalties as may be deemed
necessary to prevent the students in college from frequenting
gambling and drinking saloons (By Pres. Patterson) and
houses of prostitution; and to that end the faculty is
authorized and empowered, if necessary, to employ
detectives to ascertain the person or persons who violate
this requirement, at the expense of the college. We
recommend that this be read to the students for
their future guidance.


Fifth: - We recommend that the entire faculty give such
time as they can find from their other duties, to visiting
schools throughout the State and adjoining States, and
delivering addresses to the students and teachers, in
the interest of the college. The same to be done
under the supervision of the President.


      We further recommend that Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00)
be appropriated to purchase of the " Overstrom Concentrating
Table " as recommended by Prof. Norwood.

      It was moved, seconded and carried that the following
letter of Profs. Anderson and Faig be spread upon the
minutes of the meeting.

      Comlunication of Profs. Anderson & Faig.

To the Honorable Board of Trustees
    State College of Kentucky
       Lexington, Ky.

Gentlemen:

      In order to provide for certain phases of engineering
training, that the State College of Kentucky is unable
to offer during the regular collegiate year, the undersigned
F. Paul Anderson and John T. Faig, propose the establishment
of a summer school of Mechanic Arts to be conducted under
the conditions set forth below:

      On account of the limited facilities and the large
number of students at present carrying  on the full
collegiate course, in Mechanic and electrical engineering,
it has been impossible to offer any special courses in
these lines of engineering. Each year we have had a
number of applications from men who were anxious to pursue
special courses in Mechanical Drawing, Pattern Making,
Machine Design, Blacksmithing, Foundry Practice, etc.
The only exceptions that we have made to our general
rule have been made this year in the case of three men
who were beyond the age limit required by the Charter of
the college.
 







MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESDec. 9, 1902 - page 174-175



The establishment of a sumrmer school in Mechanic Arts,
would do much to popularize the institution with mechanics
of the State, and many young men would be attracted to the
full engineering course. Aside from the fact that the
summer course would be beneficial to the advanced courses
in engineering. The State College would be taking up 9
line of instruction in M-echanic Arts, in a way that was no
doubt contemplated in the original act of 1862. Advanced
courses in engineering offered at present by the State
College, cannot be pursued by those of limited education,
and for that reason many citizens of the Commonwealth who
are interested in the facilities offered by the State
College find that we offer no course that can be pursued
by their sons, on account of their limited attainments.
The summer school as proposed will be established
under conditions as follows:


      First: $150.00 will be spent for advertising, the
Board of Trustees to take the responsibility of this
expenditure. If the school proves successful, $50.00 of
this amount is to be refunded by those in charge of the
school. It is proposed that the only risk that the college
will be asked to assume will be $150.00 expended for
advertising, and if the school is at all successful,
the college will be put to a final expenditure of
$10oo .00e


      Second: The full financial responsibility of the
school will be assumed by F. Paul Anderson and John T.
Faig, who will employ such assistance as is necessary
to carry on the various lines of instruction offered.
All expenditures for materials used in the shops,
laboratories, and drawing roomis will be assumed
by the above named persons.


      Third: The various course.3 offered will cover a
period of ten weeks, for which will be charged a fee ranging
from $25.00 to $30.0( out of which amount will be paid
all expenditures for material including the fuel
and oil for running the aame.




 








MINLUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,Dec. 9. 1902 - page 175-176



     Fourth: Courses of instruction will be offered in
every branch taught in the school of Mechanical and
Electrical Engineering, and in addition special courses
will be offered in Pattern Making, Biacksmithing, Machine
Shop work, Foundry Practice, Mechanical Drawing, Machine
Design, Electrical Engineering Laboratory Work, Steam and
Gas Engineering Laboratory Work, Testing Materials of
Engine ering.


      Fifth: The instructors employed to carry on the work
will be paid by the two persons named above and who assume
the responsibilities of the school.


      Sixth: The undersigned are willing to take all
fisk connected with the organization of the summer school
in Mechanic Arts, except the advertising noted above, and
conduct the same on a high plane. In return for this risk
it is proposed that any amounts over th4 expenditures
for teaching force, materials in shops and drawing rooms,
fuel and oil are to be used in paying for the teaching
services of the undersigned during the summer school
period.

                                Yours truly,

                                F. Paul Anderson
                                John T. Faig


      Committee report adopted.

      Upon motion duly seconded to adopt the report of
the committees and also to spread Prof. Anderson's and
Prof. Faig's letter upon minutes was passed by a
unanimous vote.
