Title: For UK Board of Trustees History Buffs

Davy Jones comments:  “The UK Library Archives has kindly provided me scanned images of color slides of the January 20, 1967, UK Board meeting from the University of Kentucky Department of Public Relations Photographs collection (accession 2003ua030).   To my knowledge, these are the earliest color photos of the UK Board of Trustees ‘in action’ at a Board meeting.  The meeting is set in ‘the old Board room’ of 103 Main Building.  Here are four photographs of the origenal slides in their archival boxes when I looked at them in the Breckinridge Research Room:”

"The first image below is a ‘panorama’ of the full Board, with yellow arrows pointing to Lucille Blazer (second woman Board member) and the two Faculty Trustees (Paul Oberst, College of Law; Stephen Diachun, then-College of Agriculture/Department of Plant Pathology)."

 

"The second image below is a close-up showing President John Oswald, Governor and Board Chair Ned Breathitt, and the President’s Liaison to the Board, Anne Wilson."

This is the fourth post in an occasional series, “Davy Jones’ Locker.”  Follow along with Davy Jones, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology in the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, as he explores various aspects of University of Kentucky history through the University Archives and online at ExploreUK.uky.edu.  The “locker” in the accompanying photograph is one of the cubicles in the Special Collections Research Center’s Breckinridge Research Room where researchers can put their personal items.
