one year later.

His military service was extensive. He was an officer in the
Kentucky National Guard from 1906 to 1911, and from 1912, coutinu—

Major Grady we? a man of strong character and attractive oer“
sonality. During his many years” sojourn at the University he was
well and widely known among the faculty and students. His many
friends at the University of Kentucky sincerely mourn his untimely
massing."

The Senate voted to include this resolution in its minutes and ordered a

tions from final examinations be allowed only in accordance with the
Senate rule."

This recommendation was adonted by the Senate without comment.

The following report of the Curriculum Committee was read to the Senate
by its Chairman, Professor John Kuiper:

"The College of Agriculture recommends the aDDrOVal of the fol-
lowing new courses:

mends to the Senate that they be approved. They constitute a consol—
idation of subject matter and credit which we find desirable and fit-
ting. The program as outlined together with the changes adooted by
the Senate last time (drOpping Physical Education 50 and 148 and re“
placing them with Physical Education 51 and 149) represents a net in~
crease of two hours° credit. In subjectwmatter courses there has been
a considerable reduction.

The College of Arts and Sciences recommends the approval of the
following new courses:

1. Political Science 271. Seminar in Contemporary Political

Theory (33WTSummé? Session only, “An intensive study of recent polit-
ical thought. The basic thread of the course will be the nature of

the contemporary ideologies of socialism, communism, syndicalism,
pluralism, anarchism, fascism, and political and social democracy.
Emphasis will be primarily upon individual research and reading. In-
dividual reports, papers, and round table discussion. Open to gradu-
ate students only.

2. History 15la,b. The American Frontier. (3,3) A course
dealing specifically with American expansion westward from the origi—
nal colonies to California. This course will consider the westward
movement in respect to ponulation as well as expansion, politiCal,
economic, social and cultural developments; analyze the process of
national adjustments; and weigh the contributions of each succeeding
period. 151a will consider the Early West; lSlb the Trans~Mississippi
West. Prerequisites, History 5a and 5b or equivalents.

The Committee has examined these courses from all relevant phases
and recommends their adoption to the Senate.

Finally, the College of Arts and Sciences recommends that Journal—
ism 118, Publicity for Schools and Social Service Agencies (3) here~
tofore approved only for the Summer Session, be approved also for the
regular session.

"~ The description of the course reads as follows: "Lectures and

practice dealing with the aims and methods of writing news and special
articles on the work of schools, colleges, libraries and social ser-
vice organizations."

This course was introduced some three years ago upon the request
of those in charge of the summer courses for Public Health nurses and
has been taught twice, first in the summer of 1937 and then in the sum-
mer of 1939. It is designed for non~majors in Journalism who are in-
terested in the techniques of publicity.

"In view of the fact that no need for this course during the regu-
lar session has been demonstrated before the Committee, we are of the
opinion that Journalism 118 should remain, as at present, a summer
session course.

There are rather large numbers of professional people at the Uni—

versity in the summer session for whom this course might reasonably
be expected to serve a very useful purpose. But such is not the case
during the regular session, when the number of graduate or undergrad~
uate students having administrative nositions in schools, colleges,
libraries and social service agencies is certainly very much reduced.
Moreover, the committee feels that the basic techniques of publicity
are (or can readily be) provided for in existing courses in Journalm
ism now open to non~major students.

The Committee, therefore, recommends that this request to offer
Journalism 118 in the regular session be not granted."

The Senate approved each of the recommendations in the above report.

Dean Boyd reach to the Senate the following recommendation from the faculty
of the College of Arts and Sciences:

1. That a student dropuing a course after October 20 or March 5 re*
ceive a grade of E in the course, unless the student nresent to his
dean a written recommendation signed by his instructor that he be
allowed to drop without a grade. Such a statement must, of course,
have the apprOVal of the dean.

2. That a student withdrawing from the University after October 20
and before December 1, or after March 5 and before April 15, receive
a mark of WF in any course in which he is failing at the time of with"
drawal, and a mark of WP in any course in which he is passing at the
time of withdrawal.

3. That a student withdrawing from the University after December 1
or April 15 receive a grade of E in any course in which he is failing
at the time of withdrawal, and a mark of WP in any course in which he
is passing at the time of withdrawal.

4. That any Senate or University rule conflicting with any part or
all of the previsions l, 2 and 3 above be null and void in so far
as it may affect any of these provisions.

The Senate Voted to refer this recommendation to the Rules Committee"

Professor W. F“ GallaWay reported to the Senate on the meeting of the
Modern Language Association held in New Orleans during the Christmas holi«
days. He informed the Senate that this organization covers all modern
languages and is organized in 47 sections. Among its functions are the
publishing of a Quarterly, the publishing of books that deserve recogni=
tion but cannot be handled by commercial publishers; the provision of a
fund from which institutions may borrow for the purpose of publishing
worthy research; and the reproduction of manuscripts and documents for
research purposes. Professor Gallaway noted that the Association was
beginning to express dissatisfaction with excessive specialization in
modern language studies.

Dr. L. N. Cohen reported on the meeting of the American Mathematical Socie*
ty, held in Columbus, Ohio. in connection with the meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. The University of Kentucky

was well represented at this meeting. with papers presented by Dr. Latimer

and r. Cohen, and with Professor Downing narticinating in a symnosium on
the teaching of high school mathematics. Professor Latimer was elected
to the Council of the American Mathematical Society. Dr. Cohen observed
that the society this year placed an unusually large emnhasis upon the
problems involved in the teaching of mathematics.

President McVey reported briefly on a meeting of 13 university presidents
of the middle west, at which the general problem of regional cooperation
and coordination was considered“ President McVey cited examples of the
possibilities in this field of regional cooperation. He stated that the
president of each institution had been asked to report the narticular
fields of interest which the institution is and should be giving special
emohasis in its graduate nrogram. He invited suggestions from the facul~
ty to be used in making this statement for the University of Kentuck'.

March 11, 1940. In the absence of President McVey, Dean Boyd presided.

The minutes of February 12 were read and apnroved.

Dean Funkhouser read to the University Senate the following recommenda~
tion from the Graduate Faculty, with respect to honorary degrees to be
granted at the June Commencement:

”The Graduate Faculty recommends that Justice Stanley Forman
Reed be extended a second invitation to attend the University Comw
mencement to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. The
granting of the degree to Justice Reed was annroved last year, by
the Senate and the University Board of Trustees.

The Graduate Faculty also recommends that the degree of Door
tor of Laws be granted to the following at the commencement in
June, 1940: Governor Keen Johnson, President Frank L. McVey, and
Frances Jewell McVey."

AS the rules of the University Senate provide that recommendations for
honorary degrees must lay over for one month, the Senate took no action
on these recommendations at this meeting.

following report from the Committee:
