Minutes of the Faculty of the University 9 October 21, 1942

At the request of the President, Dean Graham reported on the
policies that may prevail after the amendment of the Selective Service
Act to cover 18 and 19 year old men. Dean Graham pointed out that there
was as yet no definite assurance as to what the policies w0uld be. He
outlined, however, the general trend of thought in Washington, particu-
larly as it bears on the place of the institutions of higher learning
in the preparation of these young men for military service. Following
Dean Graham's statement, President Donovan emphasized that all should
adopt the attitude that the University of Kentucky and other institutions
of higher learning can and probably will be radically transformed in
terms of their programs of study.

Dean Evans requested advice concerning a problem which has arisen
in the College of Law as a result of the change from the semester system
to the quarter plan. The problem involved a student who, for example,
had completed five of the six semesters of residence formerly required
for graduation from the Law College, and who now must of necessity finish
in either one quarter or one quarter and a fractional part of another.
Dean Evans and the Dean of the University were requested to study this
problem and report to the Faculty.

On recommendation of Dean Boyd, the petition of Oscar Sellers
was approved. Mr. Sellers was asking to complete the last 13 quarter
hours required for graduation by correspondence. Mr. Sellers is now
in military service.

Referring to his request at a previous meeting for nominations
for the Advisory Athletics Council, President Donovan indicated that an
analysis had been made of the distribution of representation on this
committee among the various colleges, and that this analysis revealed
that the College of Agriculture and Home Economics had not had represeno
tation during the last five years. He indiCated therefore that he was
appointing Professor L. J. Horlacher to membership on the Advisory
Athletics Council, and that Professor D, V. Terrell was being reappointed
for a oneeyear term only.
