                           By Engineer w. D. Maitland
    Gentlemen:

    The interior surfaces of the boiler were found free of any
    pitting or corrosion of consequence and light scale deposits
    about 1/16 inch maximum thickness were noted in the tubes
    from the water drum,   The openings to outer attachments
    were clear.

    There was no indication of overheating, leakage or distress.
    The various appliances were found in good order and condition.
    The brickwork and settings were found in good condition.

    We would suggest that all tubes leading from the water drum
    should be turbined so as to remove the scale accumulation
    in the tubes.

    As a result of inspection we have no further recommenda-
    tions or suggestions to offer and current operating certif-
    icate is enclosed.

                            Yours very truly

President H. L. Donovan
University of Kentucky

ky dear President Donovan:

          I submit hereto attached a report on the acci-
dent of Alfred Taylor, colored laborer, while working on
the Animal Pathology Building.

          It appears the injured man fell about six feet
due to mechanical failure of a hoist brake. He suffered
bruises, but not fractured ribs. However, the extent of
his injury was not known and he was taken to the Good
Samaritan Hospital where he remained for one day md re-
ceived medical care including X-Rays,.etc.

          I submit a statement from the hospital in the
amount of $17.20 with the recommendation that same be
paid with the understanding that such payment does nat.ladmit
negligence or liability on the part of the University,
or any of its Agents, and neither does it establish a
precedent or policy of the Board of Trustees.

                             Respectfully submitted

                             (Signed) Frank D. Peterson

     G. Investment of Student Government Association Funds.

     President Donovan reported to the Executive Committee that the
president of the Student Government Association had presented a
budget for the academic yea'r which had been passed by the Legislature
of the Student Government Association, which budget provides for the
Investment of 42000.00 of Student Government Association funds as
shown by the records of the Comptroller' s Office in U. S. Treasury
bonds.   The President explained to the Committee that he felt that
such investments should have the authorization of the Board and
further stated that it was his recommendation that the investment
be made in compliance with the wishes -f the Student Government
Association.   The Committee expressed the opinion that, since the
funds accruing to the credit of the Student Government Association
iere derived by authority of the board of Trustees from students
registering in the University, the Board could not divorce itself
from some supervision of all funds so collected.    The Executive
Committee took the following action:


            5. On motion, seconded and passed, the Comptroller
               is authorized, in cooperation with the representa-
               tive of the Student Government Association, to
               invest in United .Etates Treasury bonds the sum
               of UOO.OO or as near said amount as possible.
               Said bonds shall be purchased in the name of the
               University of Kentucky and carried on the books
               to the credit of the Student Government Associa-
               tion.   Said securities shall be deposited In
               the lock oox of the University of Kentucky under
               the custody and control of the Comptroller of the
               Univers ity*.

     H. Student Government Association Application for War Chest
Donation.

      President Donovan presented to the Board the question of the
Student Government Association donating SGA funds to the Community
Chest or War Chest.  It was the consensus of opinion of the Com-
mittee that since SGA funds are collected by virtue of authority
of the Board of Trustees for the use and benefit of the students
regularly enrolled in the University that such funds can not be
used for purposes not directly beneficial to students attending the
University of Kentucky.  The request was denied.


     I. Portrait of henry Clay.

     President Donovan reported to the Board that the Government
has taken over a hotel at White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia and
that various furnishings are being disposed of, among which is a
portrait of Henry Clay. He further reported that he had received
the information through Governor Johnson and that the portrait might
be purchased for a reasonable amount.   The Committee discussed the
possibility of acquiring the portrait for the Univemity and, on
motion duly made and seconded, the President was granted power to
act on behalf of the University if, in his Judgment, the portrait
is worth the price asked by the owners.


     J. Student Publication Sent to Soldiers.

     Mri Palmore presented a resolution passed by the Alumni Associa-
tion requesting the University to make available funds for mailing
the KentuckX Kernel and Kentucky Alumnus to former students now in
the armed forces.  Fir. Palmore read the following resolution:

          The following motion was made and seconded by the
     Exeoutive Committee of the Alumni Association at its re-
     cent meeting, and was passed unanimously:

          "That the Executive Committee of the University
          of Kentucky Alumni Association request the
          Board of Trustees and University officials to
          make available adequate funds for the mailing
          of the Kentucky Kernel and the Kentucky Alumnus
          to each alumnus and former student of the Uni-
          versity of Kentucky now in service and for
          whom we have an address on our files in the
          Alumni Office."

     The resolution was discussed in the light of the efforts on the
part of the Government to reduce the volume of mail addressed to
soldiers in foreign countries.   They also discussed the desirabili-
ty of furnishing reading material to soldiers.   Upon motion duly
made and seconded, the question was referred to the President and
Comptroller with power to act after obtaining information as to the
attitude of the Government.
