Serving . . . the needs of a commonwealth The University of Kentucky provides many services to the state. It furnishes an opportunity for higher edu- cation for more than 10,000 students yearly and supplies the state with teachers, business leaders, lawyers, en- gineers, and other professional persons. It cannot accomplish all this in the classroom but must extend research into areas for economic and social improvements. The University Medical Center provides the most recent techniques for medical personnel and institutions, and the Agriculture Experiment Station aids agricultural production in Kentucky in reaching the one billion dollar industry as outlined by Governor Breathitt. Conferences, conventions and meetings are held throughout the year on the campus. These gatherings connect the University with the people of the state and the Kentuckians with their University. UK provides not only educational facilities for its followers but also a common bond to the state. The University is con- cerned with life surrounding it and an enthusiasm for service to the people whom it represents. Coldstream Farm enables Kentucky agriculture to exhibit the latest in experimental development. W . , -Awf.--,,,i.,.,,, ,,r, '- - --- X .. 1 i l

Research . . . looking toward the future Research is not all test tubes, white mice, and people in white coats. It may be the history major in the archives trying to establish the motive of a famous political figure, or an engineer with a maze of num- bers, wires, and tubes assembling an electronic com- puter. It may be the agriculture major in dirty blue- jeans calculating the correct ration for a beef animal. Research is conducted in many different places and many different ways to improve our way of life. The Chemistry-Physics Building, Computer Center, Margaret I. King Library, experimental farms, and other laboratories offer a vast layout of facilities for the graduate student. These facilities in addition to state and national research grants provide our state with solutions to various problems of our society. If we were satisfied with a complacency in everyday life, then we would have no need for the University or its research. But, we are constantly aksing for new and better drugs, more efficient machines, scientific prod- ucts, and art to represent our era. These are the re- sults of research. For the researcher, electronic tape recording machines are an invaluable source of data , ., .. 4.fiyY..,..-at-.Q-v.,.,.,.f'.J.mhnw,--Q
