Over a 35-year period - as a professor, as a department chairmarn, and as dean - you have made noteworthy contributions to this i.ns'.i- tution. Your valued service has added immeasurably to the prestige not only of the College of Engineering but of the entire University. Particularly during the last 10 years, a period which coincides almost exactly with your tenure as dean, this nation has looked to the 3 A engineering profession for the scientific and technical advances that are essential to our existence in the Space Age. Thanks in great measure to you, the College of Engineering has played an important role in supplying the know-how and the skilled manpower that are requisite to this nation's security and continuing progress. A t me-proved yardstick for measuring the effectiveness of any educational institution is the performance of its graduates. I know that a source of deep pride to you, as it is for this Board of Trustees, is the high quality of professional service that is being rendered to state and nation today by your College of Engineering graduates. As vyou enter upon a new area of service to the University - one for whichI yoil are uniquely qualified - this Board extends sincere thanks for your past contrib-ations and looks forward with complete confidence to your performance of new and equally responsible duties. H. Dr. Robert M. Drake, Jr. Named Dean of the College of Engineering (PR 4a) Dr. Albright, who had returned from Frankfort, indicated his great pleasure in recommending to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees the appoint- ment of Dr. Robert M.

The Faculty Search Committee which Dr. Oswald had appointed to seek a replacement for Dean Shaver had set up certain criteria which are given in PR 4a attached, and had then carefully screened 40 candidates out of a list of approximately 70 namnes submitted to themn. This screening process resulted in a small number of namnes of eminent persons in the engineering field who satisfied the criteria and among these few names was that of a member of the faculty of the College of Engi- neering at the University of Kentucky--Dr. Robert M. Drake, Jr. This recom- mendation carries the unanimous support of the Search Committee. On motior duily made, seconded, and carried the recommendation that Dr. Drake be named Dear. of the College of Engineering, effective September 1, 1966, wvas approved ilnanimolusly. D-. Drake was called in to the meeting and Dr. Angelucci informed him of his appointment and expressed the gratification of the Executive Committee that he was to assume the leadership of the College of Engineering and said that the Board of Trustees had utmost confidence in his ability to develop a program, particularly at the grdduate level, which would place the College of Engineering at the University of Kentucky .n the forefront of the engineering colleges of the nation.

L. College of Agriculture and Home Economics Organization (PR 6) Dr. Albright called attention to PR 6, a copy of which is included at the end of the Minutes, stating that the proposed organization of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics is the result of special analyses and a restudy of the program in the college and should provide for an even stronger program in the future. On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the organization of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics as proposed in PR 6 was approved and PR 6 was ordered made an official part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 6 at the end of the Minutes. ) M. Agreement with Kentucky Science and Technology Commission (PR 7) Dr. Albright said he felt the recommendation and background statement in PR 7 were self-explanatory and recommended approval of the recommendation con- tained therein. On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the President was authorized to enter into a contractual agreement with the Kentucky Science and Technology Com- mission whereby the University will provide administrative, staff, and other pro- fessional support to the Commission in order that the Commission may be enabled to carry out its responsibilities as designated by the 1966 General Assembly. (See PR 7 at the end of the Minutes. ) N. Report on Dormitory Housing for the Fall Semester 1966 (PR 8) Mr. Kerley called attention to PR 8 which gave a detailed explanation of the housing situation which has necessitated the temporary use of off-campus facilities to house 329 students until the 5 low rise buildings in the dormitory complex can be completed. He commended members of his staff, Mr. G. J. Ruschell in particular, for the excellent job which they have done in handling this emergency situation. Dr. Angelucci accepted the report on behalf of the Executive Committee and ordered it made a part of the Minutes of the meeting. (See PR 8 at the end of the Minutes. ) 14 0. Accreditation of the School of Architecture Announced (PR 9) Dr. Albright called attention to PR 9 which announced the accreditation of the School of Architecture. He said that particular note should be taken of the fact that only one or two other new schools of architecture have received a full five-year ac- creditation at the time of their initial accreditation. Dean Charles P. Graves, who was present at the meeting, was commended for the splendid accreditation report received by the School of Architecture. (See PR 9 at the end of the Minutes. ) P. Report on Research Developments (PR 10) Dr. Bard called attention to PR 10, Extramural Awards Received During 1965- 66 in Support of Research, Training and Related Activities. He explained that the total awards amounted to $10, 348, 437. 62 and then pointed out the breakdown of these awards according to University units, and according to supporting agencies. Dr. Bard indicated that research activities show an increase in interdiscipli- nary or "team" type of operation, such as the Center for Developmental Change, the Tobacco and Health Research Project. There is also increased interest and support of training for service programs, such as the Peace Corps, Head Start, etc. Ad- ministrative responsibility in connection with research has become markedly greater since much of the money to support research now comes from Federal grants. In answer to a question, Dr. Bard replied that the University of Kentucky has a research program comparable with institutions of similar size and is favorably positioned with even larger institutions. Dr. Angelucci thanked Dr. Bard for his informative report and commended the University of Kentucky Research Foundation for the excellent program which it has developed. (See PR 10 at the end of the Minutes. ) Q. Dr. John L. Ragland Named Professor of Agronomy and Chairman of Department of Agronomy Dr. Albright said that PR 2 which had been approved before he returned from Frankfort contained the recommendation that Dr. John L. Ragland be named Chairman of the Department of Agronomy; however, it did not include mention of his promotion from Associate Professor to Professor and he wished to recommend approval of this promotion. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried Dr. John L. Ragland was named Professor of Agronomy as well as Chairman of the Department of Agronomy. 15 R. Association of Governing Boards Regional Conference Dr. Albright extended an invitation on behalf of the Association of Governing Boards to members of the Board of Trustees to attend a colloquium to be held in New Orleans, Cctober ll-1Z, 1966. This is one of a series of regional sessions which will be concerned with the outlook for the liberal arts both in the university and in the separate college. S. Meeting Adjourned Dr. Angelucci having first determined there was no further business to come before the meeting, called for a motion for adjournment. On motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting was declared officially adjourned at 2:45 p. m. Respectfully submitted, Harry Denham, Acting Secretary Board of Trustees PR 2, PR 3, PR 4a, 4b, 4c, PR 6, PR 7, PR 8, PR 9, and PR 10 are official parts of the Minutes of the August 19, 1966, meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. PRESIDENT'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES August 19, 1966 1. SENIOR CITIZENS PROGRAM PRODUCES DEGREE-WINNER The Herman L. Donovan Senior Citizens Fellowship Program, which was inaugurated by the University in 1964 to provide free classroom instruction to any interested person 65 years of age or older, has produced its first graduate. She is Mrs. Amanda Newell Hicks of Midway, who recently completed requirements for a degree in elementary education. Mrs. Hicks, who for some years has been a teacher at Sayre School in Lexington, plans to continue her studies under the Donovan program. She is one of approximately 200 who have taken advantage of the opportunity for free study. The Donovan program, which is directed by Dr.e Earl Kauffman, continues to attract wide attention. The August 12 issue of Time Magazine contains a report on the program, emphasizing the enthusiasm which the participants demonstrate for their work. A similar article on the Donovan program, which appeared in The National Observer in April, brought inquiries from persons in 13 other states, including a candidate for governor and a state legislator who wished to copy the program in their states. 20 TECHNICAL INSTITUTE OFFERING NEW PROGRAM A new associate-degree program in respiratory therapy is being offered in the University's Lexington Technical Institute. Students now are being enrolled in the program, which calls for approximately one year of general education courses and another year of technical courses. The student who successfully completes the two-year program is awarded the degree of Associate in Applied Science, Openings still exist in the Institute's technical programs in mechanical and electrical engineering. Enrollment is closed, however, for two other associate degree programs, nursing and dental laboratory technology. - 2 - 3, OVER 100 ATTEND WORKSHOP FOR EDITORS More than 100 high school yearbook editors and advisors were on campus August 3-4 for a workshop presented by the University and the Kentucky High School Press Association. The visitors received instruction in copy writing, yearbook design, and photography. They also inspected the University printing plant and heard critical evaluations of their yearbooks by representatives of several publishing companies. Consultants for the workshop included Joe Creason, Lee Heiman and Billy Davis, all of The Louisville Courier-Journal; William Robertson, editor of The Thoroughbred Record; Richard Deane, Eastern Kentucky University; Prof. J. A. McCauley of the University School of Journalism, and UK photographer Ken Goad. 4, VIDEO TAPE USED BY COUNSELING STUDENTS Students in the College of Education who plan to become guidance counselors now are using video tape for a more effective analysis of their practice counseling. In the same way that athletes learn to correct mistakes by watching films of their own performance, so do the counseling students observe the strengths and weaknesses of their technique in conducting interviews, Use of the video tapes was initiated this summer in a project headed by Dr, Car M. Foster, who says they appear to be considerably more effective as teaching aids than the sound- on-tape recording
