     (16) Resolutions'reseocting Mrs. MoVey. The following resolutions
respecting Mrs. McVey, passed at a special meeting of the Executive Qome
mittee on April 20, 1922, vrere ordered incorporated in the minutes:

          The members of the Executive Committee have heard with. pro-
     found regret of the pass ig of Mrs. F. L. McVey, wife of the
     President of the University of Kentucky, and knows that, in the
     death of this cultured and admirable 1hristian woman,. the Uni-
     versity loses a loyal adherent and the President himself a cam-
     panion whose place cannot be filled by any other.

          This feeling is intensified among members of this Com' ittee
     by a personal acquaintance with her that has covered five years
     that have been exi.k.4 years in the life of the University, and
     it has lead each of us to feel that her coming into this com-
     munity i;iAth her d?1itinguished husband, meant much is leader-
     ship and vision for an institution whose welfare we are charged
     with the serious duty of promoting.

          We are sensible of the fact that in her were combined rare
     qualities of gracions and attractive womanhood of marked culture,
     of vigorous intellect, of breadth of sympathy for and under-
     standing of the young.   In addition to this she -wras .possessed
     of leadership excelled by few, if any, wtomen of our State.

          The Executive Committee of the Universi'v fnous _ull -tell
     that words mean little to those who are crushed by so severe a
     blow as has fallen upon the household of President McVey.    It
     therefore attempts at this moment to do nothing more than merely
     express in this feeble way its deep sense of sympathy at his
     immeasurable loss.

          Therefore be it resolved that this minute be spread upon
     the record of the Executive Committee of the University of Ken-
     tuoky as permanent record, ana that a copy be sent to the
     bereaved family.

                                        Chairmann, Executive Committee
                                               University of Kentucsky
