THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
. . . The State Is Our Campus
Located in Lexington, an urban community of over 155,000 population in
the heart of Kentucky’s famed Blue Grass region, University of Kentucky is a
state—supported, land-grant institution which celebrated its centennial year in
1965.
The present school, which has an enrollment of approximately 31,500 stu-
dents and now offers instruction in 10 academic colleges plus a Graduate School ~
and a Community College system of 13 centers, had its beginnings in 1865 when
it was established as a part of old Kentucky University. This action by the State
Legislature united sectarian and public education under one organization for
the Hrst time. Federal funds authorized under the Morrill Act were used to de-
velop agriculture and mechanical arts within KU and, in 1878, A8eM College
was separated from KU to become a separate state institution on the general site
of what is now the 706 acre main campus. Name changes in 1-908 and 1916
resulted in the title by which the school is now known.
It is fully accredited in its respective colleges and departments by all of the
major professional societies and educational organizations.
President of the University is Dr. Otis A. Singletary, who came to Lex- A
ington in 1969 from the University of Texas, Austin, where he was executive
vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Dr. Singletary, who is eighth president of the University, served a total of
eight years at Texas, progressing during seven (1954-61) of those years from
instructor to professor, associate dean of Arts and Sciences and assistant to the
president. Then for five years (1961-66), he was chancellor of the University of
North Carolina, although he was on leave from October 1964 to january 1966 ,
to serve as director of the job Corps, Office of Economic Opportunity.

HARRY C. LANCASTER
Director Of Athletics
i
Administration of the University of Kentucky athletics program is under the
guidance of Harry C. Lancaster, who was named acting A.D. in September 1968 '
and permanent A.D. three months later.
One of the first challenges facing Lancaster during his "acting" tenure was
to obtain a football coach to replace Charlie Bradshaw, who resigned unex-
pectedly. john Ray accepted the challenge. Three years later, Lancaster an-
nounced the appointment of ]oe B. Hall to replace the legendary Adolph Rupp i
as head basketball coach. Both appointments met with popular approval. ‘
Lancaster has applied his energies in other areas, hiring coaches Ron Hueb-
ner, swimming; jordan Horne, baseball, and Dan McQueen, golf, all outstanding g
in their sports as UK undergraduates, thus placing the accent on a youthful staff.
Capital improvements under Lancaster include a new roof for the Coliseum,
new surface on the a1l—weather running track, plus a press box and additional j
seating at the track events and new scoreboards for football and track. `
The latest achievement is a new football stadium to be completed in 1973. '
From 1946 until 1970, Lancaster was known primarily as the No. 1 assistant
to Coach Rupp. His freshman teams compiled 204 victories against only
5 .

{
1 57 losses. He served 16 seasons as head baseball coach and gave the school its
1 winningest seasons in history by compiling identical 18-8 marks in 1959-60.
1 A native of Paris (Ky.) High School, he lettered in football, basketball and
{ baseball under Coach Blanton Collier. At Georgetown College, he lettered in
  football, basketball and baseball for three years and twice captained the football
and basketball teams. He was Student Body president and president of Kappa
1 Alpha Social Fraternity his senior year.
F He served as assistant football and basketball coach at Georgetown College
(1932-33) and Paris High School (1933-34), head basketball coach at Bagdad High
School (1934-36) and principal and coach at Gleneyrie High School (1936-42).
j Lancaster earned his master’s degree in 1943 while serving as a part-time
assistant in basketball and full-time instructor in Physical Education from Sept.
l 1942 until March 1944, when he entered the U.S. Navy as a Seaman 2/c. He
` advanced to lieutenant (SG) and returned to the University in March, 1946, in
, time to assist Rupp in winning UK’s four NCAA basketball championships of
1 1948-49-51 and ’58.
W Traveled To Greece In 1951
1 In his own right, Lancaster has traveled extensively and received a signal
honor when he was invited to prepare the Greek National Basketball Team for
[ the 1968 Olympics. A return six-week tour in Athens was cancelled when Lan-
» caster was asked to stay home and serve as acting athletics chief of staff.
`; Lancaster had traveled to Greece in the summer of 1951 on a special ath-
1 letic assignment for the U.S. State Department. The mission called for him to
2lCt as an advisor to Greek Basketball Federation officials in Olympic procedures
i and other matters. Hc also conducted numerous clinics and coaching schools and
gave public lectures on the cage sport. During the summer of 1962, he helped
4 Coach Rupp conduct clinics for Army personnel in the Far East Theater and
j worked with Rupp on the team’s Middle East Tour in 1966 and a clinic in
` Germany in the summer of 1967.
