dinutes of the University Faculty n December ll, 1944

The UniVersity Faculty met in the Assembly Room of Lafferty Hall
Monday, December 11, at 4:00 p.m. In the absence of President Donovan,
Dean Chamberlain presided. Members absent were E. F. Farquhar, G. C.
Knight, E. W. Bannells, A. C. McFarlan, W. B. Hamilton, W. A. Heinz,
Bernie Shively, R. L. Stivers, H. W. Beers, N. R. Elliott, W. D. Funk-
houser, W. D. Valleau, D. G. Steele, Statie Erikson, R. E. Shaver,
James H. Graham, Frank D. Peterson, and Margaret King. ‘

The minutes of NOVember 13 were read and approved.

Dean Chamberlain called attention to the new edition of the Rules
of the University Faculty, a copy of which had been mailed to each member
of the University staff. He explained that this publication did not con-
tain the recently approved rules relating to fraternities and sororities,
but that the student or faculty member interested could get the detailed
information from the Office of the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men.

The Chairman outlined briefly some of the problems connected with the
preparation of a schedule of classes for the summer quarter. He emalained
that conditions seemed to make it desirable. in some instances, to continue
to offer full quarter courses during the 1945 summer quarter. Without
official action it was agreed that both term and full quarter courses

[would be offered during the coming summer, but that registration and fee

payments would be divided on a term basis. It was moved and seconded that
a committee be appointed to study the University calendar, with reference
particularly to the summer session and the quarter system. and to bring

recommendations to the UniVersity Faculty. This motion was carried. S“b$9?“'"+/

The prrdposed calendar rfor 1945 4 was then considered and after dis-

cussion a motion was made and seconded that the calendar be approved,
subject to such changes as may seem necessary later. This motion was
carried. In the course of the discussion attention was called to the fact
that the calendar had been planned to allow for a short spring vacation
and that in order to accomplish this and at the same time provide for

4nH Club Week. it would be necessary to shorten the summer quarter to ten
Weeks. The calendar, as approved, is as follows:

"The Alumni of the Chemistry Department have collected a fund, to
be known as the Ralph Nelson Maxson Library Endowment Fund, the purpose
of which is to create an endowment for the Library Kastle Hall, adding
books from year to year which shall be inscribed, 'Gift of the Maxson
Library Memorial'.

"Mrs. Maxson and the children recently gave to the University nearly
all of Dr. Maxson's priVate library. It has been my pleasure to contact

Vall of the alumni of the department in regard to this project, which will

be set up within the next two or three weeks, after which a public announce-
ment will be made. Mrs. Maxson is very pleased at this mention of Dr.
Maison and is glad that he will be so remembered. I am in favor of the
idea for another reason. We need traditions here at the University and

a tradition of that type, which is a living type of memorial, will carry
down through the years. Those who remain will be able to foster the
endowment so that it will become a very desirable thing and make 3 worth
while contribution to the University."

The following resolution on the death of Dr. F. Carleton Thomas was
read to the Faculty:

Dr. F. Carlton Themas, visiting physician to the University Health
Service for fifteen years, died suddenly in his office at the University
on the morning of December 2, 1944. Dr. Thomas brought to the students
not only the highest type of professional service, but by his kind and
courteous manner and his sterling qualities as physician and friend, he
endeared himself to all who came to know him.

Dr. Thomas' professional attainments were of high order. He was a
member of the Kentucky State, the American Medical, and the Southern
Medical Associations. He was a fellow of the American College of Surgeons,
and. in his chosen field of Ophthalmology, he was a diplomat of the American
Board of Ophthalmology.
