and one course in Chemistry approved at the meeting of the Faculty
on June 19 and incorporated in the minutes of that meeting. These
courses were approved on June 19, subject to the subsequent approval
of the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Dean Boyd stated that further study of the recently adopted
rules governing the classifiCation of students indicated the desiraa
tility of a change to read as follows:

"A student in any college except Law shall he classi-
fied as a sophomore. or junior, when he has within 10 quarter
hours of the normal requirement?"‘"

The rule as originally stated had read 15 quarter hours instead of
10. It was noted that if the rule was left unchanged it would be
possible for a student to change his status from that of a freshman
to that of a sophomore after only two quarters in the University.
The recommendation was approved.

As a result of a recommendation of the Registrar and the Dean
of the University, President Donovan announced that he was appointa
ing a committee to consider special cases arising f rom the assesse
ment of nonaresident fees. It was pointed out the the Registrar
would refer a case to this committee when he deemed it necessary.
The committee named By President Donovan is to consist of Henry E.
Bill. Lee M. Chamberlain, Frank Murray, and Frank D. Peterson,

President Donovan pointed out that when the budget was made
for the current year a small item was included to cover unexpected
expenditures that could not be anticipated at the time the budget
was prepared. He stated that demands already have been made on this
sum to the point where there is little flexibility left in the Unie
versity's budget. President Donovan indicated that requests for
additions to the departmental or divisional budgets would probably
have to he denied.

The Faculty of the University voted that hereafter the minutes
of that body should be mimeographed and distributed to all department
heads in the University, with the understanding that mimeographed
copies are to be made available to all members of the staff who may
desire to see them.

Minutes of the Faculty of the University ~ August 18, 1942

The minutes of July 17 were read and approved.

Dean Taylor raised certain questions regarding the rule w
governing leaves of absence of faculty members entering military fl
service. In particular. he inquired as to what should be done in \

case one of the persons on leave should return and claim his posie

tion during a school year for which another person had been employed

in the position in question. There appeared to he no immediate answer

to this problem, though it was pointed out that substitutes for moms

hers of the staff on leave should not at any time be employed for a

period in excess of one year. ' “

The following changes were made in the rules of the Faculty
of the University. These changes were made at this meeting in
order that the completed rules could be planographed in time for
the opening of the school year. The first change provided that the |
rule governing classification should read as follows: ”

"A student in any college except Law shall be classified 952‘
as a sophomore or junior when he has within 10 quarter hours
of the normal requirement as defined in the section under
"Probation"° and a standing of l in all work for which he has
registered up to that time. However, no student may be
classified as a sophomore until he has been in residence at
least three quarters, nor as a junior until he has been in
residence at least five quarters. A student shall be classie
fied as a senior when he is within 54 quarter hours of the
amount required in his college for graduation. (Amended later.
See Minutes of November 4.)

A Law student is classified as a secondeyeer student when
he has completed 36 or more hours and as a thirdeyear student
when he has completed 75 or more hours. He shall not, however,
be classified as a second year student until he has been in
residence at least three quarters, nor as a thirdayear student ,
until he has been in residence at least five quarters." »

The second change provided that the definition of standing should read
as follows:

For purposes of graduation, the standing of a student is
defined as the ratio of his total number of points to the total 1
number of quarter hours used to satisfy the requirements for
the degree.

When a student's ”standing" is computed for any purpose other
than graduation, it shall be the ratio of the number of points
earned to the number of quarter hours attempted. (Amended later. *
See Minutes of November 4.)

The question was raised as to the amount of military science or @
physical eduCation a student would have to complete under the quarter f
system if he had previously taken within one semester of the require= L

ment under the semester system. The Faculty voted that one additional

quarter of either military science or physical education would complete
the student's requirement in a circumstance of this kind. This proposal
had previously had the approval of the heads of the departments of
military science and physiCal education.

0n recommendation of the College of Arts and Sciences, the petition
of John Kirkpatrick to be allowed full credit for all curses in which he
was enrolled and passing during the second semester of 1941-42 was
approved. Mr. Kirkpatrick left school on April 21. whereas the rule
provided that a student must remain through April 25 in order to receive
full credit. Mr. Kirkpatrick was allowed full credit in view of the fact
that his residence had closely approximated the minimum requirement.

The following rec0mmendations with respect to course changes in
the College of Arts and Sciences were approved:

It is recommended that, subject to subsequent approval
by the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences, Zoology 1080
be dropped and that Zoology 108a and 108b each be increased
from two quarter credits to three quarter credits.

It is recommended that, subject to subsequent approval
by the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences, the following
courses in ArchaeoIOgy and AnthropOIOgy be increased from two
quarter credits to three quarter credits: 101, 105. 106. 107.

It is recommended that, subject to subsequent approval by
the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences, the title of
Psychology 126 and Hygiene 120b be changed from Mental Hygiene
to Mental Hygiene Observation.

The Faculty heard the petition of Miss Helen Van Sent to be
allowed to graduate though having completed only 40 of the last 54
hours at the University of Kentucky instead of the 45 hours required.
This petition was referred to Dean Taylor and the Registrar, with power
to act. The petition was subsequently approved in view of the fact
that Miss Van Sant had completed approximately 120 quarter hours in
residence at the University.

0n recommendation of the College of Law, the following course
changes were approved by the Faculty:

1. Law 104a9h a Property IIasb e 2 qt. hrs. each quarter be changed
to Law 104 = Property II c 3 qtr. hrs.

2. Law 160 a Private corporations e 6 qtr. hrs. be changed to:
Law 160a a PriVate Corporations I e 4 qtr. hrs.

of Vincent F. Martin was approved. Mr. Martin asked that he be allowed
to carry 25 quarter hours during the summer quarter. His general standing
was well over two and his standing in the 12 hours carried during the
first summer term was 3. Mr. Martin stated that he would probably have
to enter the army the latter part of September and with this extra work
allowed he would be able to complete his requirements for a degree by
extension.

 

MINUTES OF THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY
Septemlnr 12. 1945L/

The Faculty of the University met in the President's Office Friday,
September 12. 1942. President Donovan presided. Those present were
J. E. Adams, Paul P. Boyd, C. C. Carpenter, Thomas P. Cooper, Alvin E.
Evans, W. D. Funkhouser. and J. H. Graham.

The minutes of August 18 were read. ApprOVal of these minutes
was deferred to a later meeting, for the reason indicated below. Dean
Cooper called attention to the fact that the statement regarding leaves
of faculty members entering milfiary service which appeared in the fig.
minutes of July 17 was apparently subject to more than one interpree K
tation, and preposed that some revision in this regulation he made.
Dean Cooper presented a revised statement of the rule for consideration
of the Faculty, prefacing it with the following introductory remarks:

"The original ruling of the Board of Trustees providing
military leave for members of the staff in the National Guard, '
Officers' Reserve and under the Selective Service Act, gave
assurance to the individual for definite return, at the close
of military service. to the position occupied in the institution
at the time the leave was granted.

When the ruling was made by the Board the full extent to
which calls would be made under the Selective Service Act were
not fully visualized. It is now apparent that a very complete
utilization of man=power is contemplated for military service, gl‘
irrespective of age and occupation. ‘

The continuation of the original ruling raises many ad=
ministrative questions. Frequently, especially in positions
