Minutes of the University Faculty ~ February 19, 1945

 

The University Faculty met in the Assembly Room of Lafferty Hall,
Monday, February 12, at 4:00 p.m} President Donovan presided. Members
1 absent were E. F. Ferquhar, James H. Graham, W. B. Hamilton, Carsie
- Hammonds, T. L. Rankine. T. T. Jones, G. C. Knight, Irwin T. Sanders,
R. E. Shaver, Bernie Shively, R. L. Stivers, W. D. Valleau, and Perry West.

The minutes of the special meeting of January 17 were read and
approved.

President Donovan called to the attention of the Faculty the
section of its rules which provides that individual attendance records
shall be maintained and reported in the minutes, and that non-attendance
shall be cause for the Feculty's dropping a member. He pointed out
that certain members rarely attended meetings, and that 27 per cent of
the membership had missed three or more meetings since September. He

requested that every member endeavor to attend all meetings of the
Faculty.

 

The following resolution was read to the Faculty by Dr. L. R. Dawson:

With the death of Dr. Matthew Hume Bedford, Professor
3 of Physical Chemistry, on February 3, 1945. the University
lost one of its older distinguished faculty members, Dr.
1 Bedford came to the University in 1913, and during his thirty~
one years of service contributed much to the growth of the
Department of Chemistry and to the University.

Modest and unassuming, many of his contributions to
the life of the University were observable only to those inn
timately associated with him. He and his wife took many
students into their home and by doing so made possible the
continuance of their education. Though these students are
now widely scattered and have risen to positions of responw
sibility in their profession, they have always considered the
Bedford home as their own.

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Bedford was greatly interested in Masonry and was
honored by election to the highest state offices of the Knights
Templers. At the time of his death he was chairman of the
g committee in charge of the Knight Templar Educational Foundation
of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky.

In his teaching he always insisted that his students do
; independent thinking as well as memorize. This training is
greatly appreciated by his students in later life who are
making a living in a highly competitive field.
