THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY AND THE WAR Wh
. ; cor
The University of Kentucky, like all colleges in the country, is thi:
doing its utmost to aid the nation to win the war. To military service Hm
{ and related work have gone several thousand of its former students Sm
ig and more than a hundred members of the instructional and research
i ` staff. Curricular adjustments have been made with a view to lending
‘ the most immediate and direct aid to the war effort and many special ASE
J research projects have been established. At the time the copy was SOI
prepared for this bulletin, the University was operating an engineer- K9]
ing specialists’ school for approximately 900 soldiers, and several HFC
’ hundred more enlisted men to be trained in other types of work tm
were expected daily. By fall it appears probable that the University lggj
will be training perhaps as many as 2000 soldiers. xg
` It should be emphasized, however, that these special programs Com
“ will operate without detriment to the regular schedule of classes.
A complete program of studies will be operated for girls and for men For
not in service, utilizing the regular instructional staff. Rooming and legf
boarding facilities will be as adequate and as carefully supervised as ECO
usual. It is the purpose of the University to maintain its program of CO]
liberal education and its professional schools at the same high level Sch
on which they have been operated in the past, while at the same time mst
_ meeting in every way possible the immediate demands of the nation
Q for trained military personnel. WK

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY `Q
The University of Kentucky is located at Lexington, an urban °
community of about 65,000 population. It is a state-supported
institution operated under the direction of a board of trustees of
fifteen members. The membership of this board includes the
Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Com-
missioner of Agriculture, ex officio, and twelve members appointed
by the Governor, three of whom are alumni of the University and
three, members of the State Board of Agriculture. The University
is one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges A -
which were established by the Morrill Act of 1862 and which have
continued to receive federal assistance under the provisions of
U, is this and subsequent laws relating to the teaching of agriculture _
vice and the mechanic arts and the provision of agricultural experiment
ents stations and extension services in agriculture and home economics. .
The University of Kentucky is on the approved list of the
.9 Association of American Universities, and is a member of the
acm , southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the
gig? Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is
rem, accredited in its respective colleges or departments by the Associa-
Umk tion of American Law.Schools, the American Association pf Col-
rsity legiate Schools of Business, the American Association of Schools
and Departments of Journalism, the American Library Association,
the National Association of Schools of Music, and the Engineers’
rims Council for Professional Development.
$$6** The major function of the University is that of instruction.
men For the performance of this function it is organized into the Col-
md lege of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Home ·
das Economics, the College of Engineering, the College of Law, the
H of College of Education, the College of Commerce, the Graduate
gud School, and` a Department of University Extension. Residence ' -
mm instruction is given through four quarters of approximately twelve
mm weeks each, the summer quarter being divided into two terms.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the Uni- V
versity contributes to the welfare of the state through research,
experimentation, and public service. While all departments make
important contributions along these lines, certain divisions and l
bureaus have been established specifically for these purposes.
Included in this group are the Experiment Station and the Exten-
sion Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics,
the Bureau of Business Research, the Bureau of Government
Research, the Bureau of School Service, the Bureau of Source
Materials in Higher Education, the Personnel Bureau, the Teachers
Placement Bureau, the Department of University Extension, and
the Department of Public Relations.
` 14 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
_ ‘ The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky Uni- p]
versity under a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in ht
? 1865. The purpose of this plan was to unite sectarian and public SL
. I , education under one organization. This.experiment was tried for p,
. · ~ ' 2 a number of years. In the meantime, the federal funds authorized th
1 under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and
1 mechanic arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people
__ of Kentucky decided to establish 'a state institution of higher gl
I · learning, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was
` i separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on land ot

_ ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY as
L Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as fresh— ur
. men; with advanced standing from other institutions; as special
T students; and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is also th
i governed by special regulations. 19
I Aprflications for admission to the University should be made to
the Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certified K·
copies of high school credentials and of work done in other institu— fc
tions should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance of the Wt
~ registration period. Failure to file credentials in time for checking
before the registration period will delay the student in arranging his
program. All admissions, including those to the professional schools
and the Graduate School, must be passed on by the Registrars
Office. Students who come to the University without having had ad
their admission approved, do so at their own risk. The Unive1·sity th
reserves the right to refuse consideration of applications not made at
before the beginning of the regist1·ation period. Q);
