                  .JiEINUTES OF ThE EXECtTIVE COMMITTEE
                      OF THE UNIVERSITy OF KENTUCKY
                           November 21. 1917.

      The Executive Committee of the University of Kentucky met

in the President's office on the above named date with the fol-

lowing present: Chairman C. B. Nichols, Messrs. John E. Brown,

C. B. Terrell, Doctor S. B. Marks, and President MSVey,

      On motion of Mr. Terrell, the reading of the minutes of

the previous meeti-ng was dispensed with.

      President dcVey reported a set of rules and Regulations

governing the action of the Board of Trustees, which were read to

the Committee and discussed. Upon motion of Mr. Brown, seconded

by Doctor Marks, the Rules and Regulations were approved and recom-

mended to consideration of the Board of Trustees in its next meet-

i ng.

      In this connection, President McVey reported that the facul-

ty had now under discussion similar rules governing its activities

which would be adopted and reported to the Board later.

      Under heading of reports, the Building Committee made a

brief report on the progress of work of reconstructing the Mulli-

gan home for occupancy of President McVey, which was to the effect

that the work was proceeding Satisfactorily.

      Dean Anderson of the College of Mechanical and Electrical

Engineering submitted his monthly report containing a number of

recoamendations, and which was, in full, as follows:

                                          November 20, 1917.

      President Frank L. MicVey,
      University of Kentucky.

      My dear President klcVey:-

                I have the honor to submit to you according to
      the rulin7 of the Executive Committee, my monthly report

together with r.coramendations relative to the College of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

THE DEATH Or JUOSEPH DICKER:

     On October 31 the University suffered the loss of
Mr. Joseph Dicker, who was very largely responsible for
the upbuilding of the College of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering. Dir. Dicker had been in the employ of the In-
stitution for over twenty six years and he rendered a dis-
tinguished service in the training of young men. He not
only gave to every young man who came within his influence
a great appreciation of mechanic arts but he instilled
into the heart of every one ideals that will be carried
through life and I believe that there has never been a
man in the Institution who has been a greater influence
for good than the late lamented Joseph Dicker. anyone
who attended the funeral of this good man could not help
but he impressed with the certainty with which he had
won his way into the hearts of the best men of this com-
munity. I have on very few occasions witnessed tri-
butes to a dead man that were as sincere and varied. A
movement has already been started by the alumni to put
in the entrance hall of Mechanical Hall a bronze tablet
and in the senior room a full-length portrait of this
plain yet marvelous man.

RECOMMIEND.iTIONS:

     First: I respectfully request that the Executive
Committee order paid the salary payments that would
have come to Joseph Dicker during November and December,
to his sister, Mary Dicker.

     Second: I recommend that air. John B. Dicker, now in
charge of our 'Wuood Shops, be given the title borne by his
uncle, Mr. Joseph Dicker, Superintendents of Shops, and
that his salary be, after the first of January, at the
rate of 41300.00 a year, which was the salary paid Joseph
Dicker.

     Third: I recommend that Mr. Gordon Thurman, now as-
sistant in the engineering laboratories at a salary of
$p840.00 a year, be made instructor in machine shop and
that his salary, after the first of January, be at the
rate of V4000.00 a year. which is the amount now being
paid John B. Dicker.

     Fourth:  1 recommend that Mir. Isaac iatkins, now en-
gineer in the experimental laboratories at a salary of
';P600.00 a year, be made assistant in the engineering lab-
oratories and that his salary, after the first of Jan-
uary, be 840.00, which is the salary now being paid
Gordon Thurman.




 






                           -3?

          Fifth:  I recommend that authority be given for the
     employment of a man to take Mr. Isaac Watkins' place as
     engineer in the experimental laboratories, beginning of
     service to be January first and the salary to be at the
     rate of $600.00 a year, which is the salary now being paid
     Isaac Watkins.

          The carrying out of the plans in the recommendations
     suggested above will mean no additions to the budget and
     will enable us to recognize the efficient and long service of
     the men who have been connected with the Department of
     Practical Mechanics.

          I respectfully request that the traveling expenses of
     F. Paul Anderson to Iew York and return -to attend the annual
     meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers dur-
     ing the week of December third be authorized. For a number
     of years the writer has attended these yearly meetings and
     I think it is desirable that engineers should come in con-
     tact at least once a year with notable and distinguished
     men who are solving the important commercial problems in
     mechanical and electrical engineering.

          I take pleasure in submitting to you a plan we have in-
     troduced for a graphic study of the time devoted to study
     outside of class room periods by the members of our senior
     class. The purpose of this study is to equalize, if possible,
     the requirements of the various subjects taught the senior
     mechanical and electrical sengineers. With the chart you
     will observe a time card that is handed in each week by the
     respective seniors. -The rated number of hours shown on the
     card are on the basis of the credit hours at present given
     to each subject in the curriculum. In order to make the
     proper distribution of the time required for preparation of
     subjects there should be a coincidence of credits given and
     relative amount of time required for preparation of each sub-
     ject.

                           Respectfully submitted,

                                       F. Paul Anderson, Dean.

     Upon approval of President McVey, Mir. Brown moved that the

recommendation of Dean Anderson contained in the foregoing report

be approved by the Board. Deconded by 1Mr. Tarrell, upon roll

call, the said recommendations were unanimously approved.

     The following recommendations made by Goerge Roberts, Acting

Dean, College of Agriculture, and approved by President MocVey,

were concurr ed in by thc Board unanimously:

           I submit herewith financial report for October, 1917,
     under the heads_

                Trial Balance of Funds- Exhibit 1;

                Statement of Conditions of Funds and
                Appropriations; Exhibit 2;

          October; 'Lxhibit 3;

          Abstract of Payments, Trust Funds,
          (Patterson Hall), Exhibit 4;

also I submit a statement showing appropriations in addi-
tion to the original budget; Exhibit 5; and a detailed
statement of Student Fees, Exhibit 6.

                      COAL

     The Wyatt Coal Company has added 35 cents per ton to
our contract through Kinkead Coal Company. It seems from,
my investigations that the Company is within its- contract
in doing this. I submit correspondence concerning the
increase, Exhibit 7.

     (On motion of Mr. Brown, seconded by Doctor Marks,
the question of increased cost of coal was referred to a
committee composed of President McVey, the Business Agent,
and lir. Stoll..)

                    DEPRTMETREQUES

Appropriations:
     airs. Stout asks for an appropriation for Physical Edu-
cation for Women. She was given ;,130 in budget. Out of
this the employs a pianist at a cost of ;112.50. I submit
her letter, Exhibit 8 in which she asks that she be allowed


     (President McVey recommended that an allowance of' $150
be made tQ cover this item. Adopted by the Board on roll
call.)

Purchase -of Pump-

     Professor Anderson found it necessary to purchase with,
out delay a pumnip for his power boiler house. The cost is
4100. He thinks this is properly a charge against Building
and Repairs. He says he is willing to pay half from his
appropriation for supplies, and asks that half be paid by
special appropriation.

     (On recommendation of the President, Dean Anderson' s
request was approved by the Board on roll call.)

LexinttonHerald .tcount-

     The Lexington Herald Company has rendered an account
against Ld'echanical and Electrical Department for newspapers
and postage. as this account was made without order from
the business office, I submit it to you for approval.
Exhibit 9.



(6uggested that President McVey procure from Dean XK- ,

Anderson an explanation of this unauthorized account.)

Janitors? s VEes-  I submit Exhibit 10, request of Profeesor
Noe that the wages of his janitor be increased to ,    035.0-.
The puint is well taken.

     (On recommendation of the President, the Board approvei
the request of Professor Noe and said increase an roll call
was allowed).

                      REP aX R6

Repairs at President Patterson's Residence-- The furnace was
put in repair at a cost of w50.00. The janitor says it is
working well. Work is about completed on the carriage house.
The cost will approximate $40.00. President Patterson has
complained to me about his fence, and has told me that he
expects to present the matter to the Executive Committee.

( Received) .

Commandant's Dwelling- Repairs on Commandant's dwelling have
been ccmpleted and Captain Royden and family have moved into
it, The total cost to date is $262.90. This includes k56.90
in work and material in addition to that on which estimate
was made,. He requests window shades which will cost about
$36.00 more.-
(Gpproved).

&V.klinr l         The cleaning up of the grounds has been
completed so far as can well be done at present. The progress
on the house seems to be fair. No bills have been submitted
by contractor for payment. No additional 'insurance has been
taken out, the architect having agreed to keep us informed
as to when that will be necessary.

                    TORNADO INSURANCE

     IWe are asked to return tornado policies written by the
Sun Insurance Office for cancellation. It seems that we do
not carry insurance enough but Exhibit 11, will explain in
d3tail. Policy No. 9639288 for i3000 is on the Main Build-
ing. There is another policy on the Main building for 42000.
PO-licy No. 9039289 for 42500 is on the Science building. There
is no other tornado insurance on that building. Out tornado
Losses last year amounted to nearly Q,,1000.

     (Mr. Brown suggested the matter be referred to a commit-
tea to investigate during the winter months.   Same was referree.
to Dtvsiness Agent and President McVey with power to act,)

                     KENTUCKY KERNEL

     The report on student fees shows that the Kernel on
Octo'ter 1; was entitled to $675.00.  It takes 4l40 each month
to rneet the expense of publication.  Advertising brings in




 








-7-



approximately Q40.0O monthly.  If the paper is issued for
eight months, there will be a deficit of about .123.00,
which added to last year' s deficit would make the total
W350. 00.

     This ineans that publication will be suspended for ta'e
year about two and one half months before the close of the
University year unless help is secured, and it seems that
the only hope for help is from the University.   This can
be made done either by a loan or by an appropriation. A
loan can be made by payment of approved bill's and charging
them to Kentucky Kernel advance account is now carried.
There are three ways of finally disposing of such an indebt-
edness. One way is by a subscription campaign among the
alumni and friends. Such a campaign can be made a success
only by the assurance of the continuation of the paper,
and subscriptions can be held only by the continued publica-
tion of a paper up to at least its present high standard.
It may be well to say that a publication such as we now'
have is one of the. iain sources, perhaps the chief source
of student enthusiasm. Another way is by gradual reduction
of the debt as the student body grows each year, and the
Kernel's allowance is thereby increased.   The last report
of course is by charging to loss account.

     (Referred to President McVey with power to act.)

                    PAPER ON HAiND

     You have made inquiries concerning the book paper in
hands of the Experiment Station, and I think best to report
as to that.  it is my information that Mir. GWsley purchased
this paper a short time before the printing plant was sold.
The cost including insurance now amounts to 8 2/5 cents
per pound. Mvir. H. E. Curtis has sold 161 1/5 reams of the
paper at approximately nine cents per pound. There are on
hand 441 9/10 reams of 60 pounds each. If sold at this
rate there will be a profit of about s100 on the purchase.
However, the sale has been slow and probably will be slow
because it is in 25 X 38 sheets instead of 50 X 38 sheets,
the size used by the large printing concerns.

     The paper was purchased from the Whitaker Paper Com-
pany of Cincinnati. Mir. Curtis tried to get that company
to take it back, but they offered only 7-b- $ per pound. I
have asked them for a price on it within the last month and
they made no better offer.

                           Very respectfully,



D. H. Peak, Bus. Agent.
