JOHN T. BATE GIFT
President Darden read a letter from Dr. John T. Bate, M.D. of Louisville, Kentucky, enclosing
a check for $500.00 for the Student Loan Funds of the University, the gift of this sum
and any future additions to the fund by Dr. Bate to be conditioned on agreement by the University
to make loans from his gift only to Kentucky students of the fourth generation in the United
States and of pure Caucasian stock, the term Caucasian to eliminate "certain races of people
from the near east" not recognized as pure Caucasians by Dr. Bate
After discussion it was resolved that the President be authorized to accept the gift
provided that he could reach a workable agreement with Dr. Bate to make it reasonably sure
that needy students from Kentucky would in practice be able to use the loan fund
