Louisville "U" Building Expected CITIZENS BEGIN TO ASK ABOUT LOUISVILLE UNIVERSITY BUILDING Presidents Ford and Colvin Had Settled On Ideal Jefferson Park Site Rushing the completion of the two Junior High Schools has started, the citizens to asking about the building for extension and promised by the Louisville University out of the bond is which colored people helped to pass in order that a progressive educational program of the University might be carried out. At the request of several readers some months ago the Leader asked about the Junior High Schools as a part of the promise made the colored voters by the Board of Education when the bond issue for the public schools was about to be submitted, and a representative of the Board informed a Leader representative of the steps being taken to carry out the promise and now the two beautiful junior high buildings are almost a reality. Jefferson Park Site Approved By Presidents Ford and Colvin It is the opinion of some of those who are interested in the college extension project that had President Ford lived the building for colored people would have been up and colored young men and women who wanted the advantage of a college training at home from the Louisville University would have been receiving it. It was said that President Ford and the Board of Trustees of the Louisville University had an option on the Jefferson Park site on Preston St., and that President Ford was about ready to close the deal and begin the building. The death of Mr. Ford halting the proposition, President Colvin, who succeded to the presidency of the University, had the option for the Jefferson Park site extended but death also stopped his plans. The colored people are expecting the building, the Jefferson Park site is still available, it is an ideal place for the institution, and it is the hope that the Board of Trustees will get together with the new president and carry out a promise that could fill no better need.
