The University of Kentucky
By:"Carl B. Cone"
Published on 1989 by University Press of Kentucky
The University of Kentucky during its first century has had a colorful and paradoxical history -- a history which reflects the character of the society that forms its milieu. This second volume deals with the University's growth through the administration of three of its presidents -- Henry Stites Barker, Frank L. McVey, and Herman L. Donovan. When Judge Barker assumed office, the institution had been a university in name for only three years; at the close of President Donovan's administration it had become a true university in spirit and in fact. Mr. Talbert here traces the complex developments from 1911 to 1956 that were bringing maturity: he outlines the events of more recent times as the University enters its second century.
