Simmons 'U' Program Made Public
PROGRAM OF SIMMONS UNIVERSITY IS MADE KNOWN BY PRESIDENT PARRISH Cooperation Of Baptists And The General Public Is Asked To the Baptists and General Public: Simmons University by order of the General Association of Kentucky Baptists, sold a part of her territory and buildings to the University of Louisville. It is the purpose of the University of Louisville to establish a Municipal College for the benefit of the colored people. It will be a full fledged College and will open its doors for service just as soon as they can complete needed repairs. The Ministerial and Christian training classes will open as usual the 30th or last Tuesday in September. Exceptional opportunities are offered students, leading to degrees in the Theological and Missionary training classes. Tuition will be free. Those wishing to attend will please apply at once to C. H. Parrish or D. L. Lawson. The transfer of the property does not mean that Simmons University closes her doors. She will retain her name and charter and will give close attention to the Christian development of students that may enter her portals. The cost of maintaining a first class Theological and Missionary Training department will be at least $18,000 a year. The Institution has only a small endowment and we are expecting most of the above amount to be given by the generous public and Baptists in the State and elsewhere. The Trustee Board has unanimously ordered the opening of the Theological School on the 30th of September, 1930, and we are asking our friends and churches to send at once a liberal donation to take care of current expenses. We are depending chiefly upon you for support and asking that you do not forget to help our sisters in the Educational work, when they meet in October. C. H. Parrish.

Yates, of Glasgow, K., the Republican State Campaign Chairman and representing the Republican State Central Committee. In the abseice of Mr. Yates, Mr. I.
