Minutes of University Senate 9 Continued 9 May 13, 1935

Report made by special committee:
To the Senate of the University of Kentucky:

The Committee appointed to investigate the claim of Mr. R. B. Walsh of
having received a degree from the University of Kentucky has examined

the official records including the Minutes of the Arts and Science Faculty
and those of the Board of Trustees. These records show that Mr. Walsh had
completed all requirements for graduation, except Latin, in 1900, that he
was again in attendance at the University in 1903 and expected to receive
his degree that year° and that in 1904 he asked that the two degrees of
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Pedagogy be conferred upon him.

A Committee headed by Professor James G. White reported the Faculty that
year that there was no precedent for granting two degrees in the same
year and that Mr. Walsh was not entitled to a Bachelor of Arts degree in
1904 in view of changes in curriculum requirements since 1900 prior to
which year he had done the work for this degree. The question apparent:
1y was not again before the University authorities until 1918. That year
Professor T. T. Jones as Head of the Department of Latin and Greek
presented a signed statement to President McVey to the effect that Mr.
Walsh had completed the Latin requirement some time between 1900 and
1905. This statement was pasted in the Faculty Minutes Book, page 250,
as evidence that the Latin defieiency which prevented Mr. Walsh from

getting his degreeas noted in the minutes appearing on that page, had
been satisfied.

Also on the margin of this same page a reference t1 the Minutes of the
Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees states that "Mr. Walsh

completed his work for a degree. See minutes of Executive Committee,
June 10, 1918."

0n turning to the minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of
Trustees the following statement was found: I

”President McVey stated to the Executive Committee that
accoriding to the Faculty minutes of June 6, 1900, Mr.

R. B. Walsh came before the Faculty with the request that
he be allowed to graduate with the class of 1900, the
diploma being withheld until work in Latin has been
completed, and on recommendation of the President, the
Executive Committee authorized the Registrar to enter the
following notation on the minutes of the Faculty for June
6, 1900:

'Mr. R. B. Walsh completed his work for a degree. See
minutes of the Executive Committee of June 10° 1918.' ”

The Committee has no evidence that a diploma was actually issued to Mr.
Walsh except his own statement and that of the State Board of Education
of Oregon as well as that of his school principal under whom he held a
teaching position. If Mr. Walsh had a diploma it has been lost and is
not available as evidence to the Registrar.

Minutes of the University Senate w Continued a May 130 1935

The conclusion of the Committee is that the records Show that the
University authorities officially recognized in 1918 that Mr. Walsh
had met all requirements for a degree on of 1900; and the recommendu
ation of the Committee is that a diploma as of the year 1900 be issued
to hime If any other steps are necessary to clarify the official
status of his graduation, the Committee recommends that such steps be
taken.

in the major as partial fulfillment of the re«
ouirements for the baccalaureate degree.

2. That Physics 123, Principles of Thermodynamics
be substituted for Physics” elective, three
hours in second semester Senior year and Physics,
elective, three hours be substituted in place of

The Professional Degree in Engineering. The Professional degree of Civil
Engineer (C.E.), Electrical Engineer (E. E.), Mechanical Engineer (M.E.),
Metallurgical Engineer (Met.E.), or Mining Engineer(E.M.), will be
granted only to the graduate of the University of Kentucky, College of
Engineering who presents satisfactory evidence of professional work of
outstandingly superior quality in the engineering field of his choice,
extending over a period of five years, and who submits a satisfactory
thesis as further evidence of his professional attainments.

Applications for professional degrees must be made with the Dean of the
Graduate School not less than one year before the degree may be granted,

and have the approval of the Graduate Committee of the College of Engineer=
ing.

The Graduate Committe will pass on the qualifications of all applicants
for the professional degrees. It may° at its discretion, require an
oral examination.

A candidate holding the M.S. degree in engineering shall be considered
to have fulfilled two years of the five year requirement for the
corresponding professional degree.

A candidate holding the B.S. degree in one field of engineering may
apply for the professional degree in another field of engineering, if
he has attained unusual prominence and success in that field.

Respectfully submitted,

D. V. Terrell, Acting Dean

Dr. M. H. Bedford made a report on the meeting of the American Chemical
