Plans for explaining the merits
of the proposed four million dol­lar
bond issue to the Louisville
community are being directed pri­marily
from the offices of the
President of the University.
President Davidson spoke to
the Arts and Sciences faculty last
Monday at noon. At this meeting
he explained the role that the fac­ulty
will play in interpreting the
bond issue to the community.
Due Thanks Rendered

met with U of L's Board of
Overseers, who drew up a reso­lution

President Davidson said that an

called at which time all plans
and problems will be presented to
the University community. He
said further that an attempt will

schools for the mass meeting. it
will probably be held on the lawn
in front of the Administration
Building.
Late Appeal Planned
According to Davidson, the ma­jor
plans for explaining the bond
issue to the voters will not begin
until October 15. The reason for
this, he says, is that an appeal can
be more effectively made, if it is
made just a short time before
election day. Otherwise, he ex­plained,
the enthusi~m for the
bond issue might "burn itself out"
too quickly.

"We are delighted with the
prospect of what the bond issue
would do for us," commented
President Davidson. He said fur­ther
that the proposed library is
of "primary importance to us, for
the needs here are criticaL" Not
only is the present building •poor­ly
designed for library purposes,
but the space is completely in­adequate
for both study and
storage space."
Downtown DAE
Davidson went on to say that
the proposed downtown head­quarters
for the Division of Adult
Education would alleviate com­pletely
the overworked and over­crowded
buildings on Belknap
Campus. A survey of other uni­versities'
evening classes indi­cates
that a majority of students
favor downtown classes. If this is
true in Louisville, the DAE may
look forward to greater enroll­ment.
Currently, there are more
students in night classes than
there are in Arts and Sciences day
sessions.

one year before the successful
bond issue of 1925, prevents the
City of Louisville from issuing
bonds favoring "medical, dental or
legal education."
The proposed bond issue will be
the first bond issue that the Uni­versity
will have gotten since 1925,
when the citizens of Louisville
voted the sum of one million dol­lars,
which was used to purchase
Belknap Campus. The bond issue
of 1925 was really the birth of
U of L when it made possible
movin:g from an old residence on
Broadway to the present campus.
In 1925 U of L had 1927 stu­dents
enrolled. The million dollar
issue provided an outlay of ap­proximately
$770 per student.
With more than 8000 students
now enrolled, the proposed four
million dollars would mean the
equivalent of $476 for each stu­dent.
