 l University of Kentucky Alumni Association
A Hall of Distinguished Alumni
  Criteria and Nomination Form for the year 2000
  Every five years the University of Kentucky Alumni Association recognizes a select group of outstanding alumni
and honors them by inducting them into the Hall of Distinguished AIumni.There have been 223 people honored since the
Hall was established in 1965 to help celebrate the University of Kentucky’s Centennial Year.
Nominations are carefully considered by a special committee selected by the Association’s board of directors.
Please consider the following criteria when nominating someone to the Hall.
Candidates must:
1. have earned a degree from the University of Kentucky at least 10 years prior to consideration;
2. have reached and remained at the pinnacle of their industry or field for a time sufficient to
demonstrate perseverance and maturation;
3. be recognized by peers for having reached and remained at the pinnacle of their field or industry (renown
with peers should preferably extend beyond Kentucky and beyond their field);
4. have shown evidence of actual merit of work in their chosen field, and community leadership;
5. not be the holder of an elected political office.
Evidence for meeting the above criteria must come from detailed information about the candidates credentials,
achievements, the impact of those accomplishments, public awards and honors, and outside sources such as
published articles and previously aired video or audio tapes.
Please send a cover letter describing why you think the person should be considered, along with all of the evi-
dence you can gather supporting that nomination.
Nominations may be submitted immediately and will be accepted until June 1, 1999.
For more information, call Kay Johnson at 606-257-1478 or 800-269—ALUM.

The VVilliarn T. Yorrng Library is a library ot torrrorrow for Kentuckians of today.
The $58 million structure is a repository of knowledge as well as a syrrrbol of
the rrniversity’s commitment to acaderrric excellence. It is a building that

Authorized by the General Assembly in 1992 to proceed with design and site work,
the University assembled a blue—ribbon panel to select an architect. The Boston
firm of Kallman McKinnell & Wood was chosen and, in Septmeber 1993, it
