PROCLAMATION
Next week the University of
Louisville celebrates the 97th
anniversary of the founding of
the institution. There has been
some confusion in the past
about this date, but the records
are perfectly clear as to when
the institution was begun. On
April 3, 1837, by decree of the
City Council, an appropriation
of land and of money was
made, and in the Fall of that
year the present School of
Medicine of the University of
Louisville was opened. The cor'
poration which began at this
time was chartered as a Univer'
sity by an act of the Kentucky
Legislature in 1846.
Since the Medical School be'
gan work in 1837, the Univer-sity
has continued without in-terruption
up to the present
time. It now has seven differ-ent
schools and last year enroll-ed
3,200 students.
Founders’ Week is partly for
the purpose of calling attention
to the historical origins of the
University, but more especially
for the purpose of creating a
special occasion when, the Uni-versitys
patrons and friends
may visit it under conditions
which are most advantageous to
their learning the most about it
in the shortest time.
We welcome to the several
programs, displays, and other
activities of the University next
week all who may be interested
for any reason whatever,
whether they have ever been
within the institution before,
whether they are alumni, form-er
students, present students, or
faculty members.
Next week the University
of Louisville in a peculiar sense
belongs to the public.

discussions, and special

University, will mark the celebra-tion

Founded in 1837, the Universi-ty
of Louisville is the oldest muni-cipal
university in the country.
During this time it has continued
to grow and improve. In the last
few years, especially marked pro-gress
has been made in more ef-ficient
organisation and raising of
Standards. In order to give the
public an opportunity to observe
advances made, and to commem-orate
the establishment of the Uni-versity,
the first Founders’ Week
was held in 1932.
The schedule for the third an-nual
Founders’ Week is as follows:
Monday, April 2, the School of
Law will be open to the public.
On Tuesday those interested may
view the accomplishments of the
College of Liberal Arts and the
School of Music. The School of
Medicine’s attractions will be dis-played
during the following day.
On Thursday the citizens of Louis-ville
will have an opportunity to
see the work done in the School of
Dentistry, and on Friday, April 6,
the Speed Scientific School will
open its doors for its Founders’
Week program.
The School of Law, the second
oldest law school in the South, is
to hold open house on Tuesday.
The contents of its library and the
other departments of the school
will be open to those interested in
seeing the type of work done.
The varied fields of interest em-braced
by the curricula of the Col-lege
of Liberal Arts and the
School of Music will be represent-ed
by many exhibits, conferences,
and experiments of an interesting
nature.
All lovers of art will be attract*
ed by the round-table discussion
to be given by the Humanities di-vision
of Liberal Arts in Gardner
Hall on Belknap Campus, Tuesday
at 7:30 p.m. One problem to be
discussed is how to make Louis-ville
art-conscious. Art leaders of
the city will lead the discussion.
An informal conference on
“The Art of Writing,” to be held
Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Ad-ministration
Building will be led
