HEARING TO BOARD
Accepts Trustees’ Invitation
To Submit His Case
In Writing.
In compliance with a request of
the Board of Trustees of the Univer-sity
of Louisville, Dr. Louis R. Gott-schalk,
alleged disturbing element,
has submitted a written statement
presenting his views relative to the
action of the board in- relieving him
of his duties as associate professor
of history on March 17. Dr. Gott-schalk
was given until today to
present his case.
The resolution to give Dr. Gott-schalk
a written hearing was made
by William Heyburn, at a meeting
of the board held Monday afternoon
at the Brown Hotel. The motion was
seconded by Fred Keisker.
The resolution was:
That Dr. Gottschalk be invited to
make a statement in writing, mak-ing
any complaint or grievance
that he may have in connection with
action of the board in accepting his
resignation on March 17, 1927, and
that his reply should be in the
hands of the secretary of the board
on or before April 8.
The meeting to reconsider Dr. Gott-schalk’s
ouster was held at the re-quest
of Arthur Allen, trustee, who
declared that he thought Dr. Gott-schalk
“had been misunderstood by
the board and had been done an in-justice
by them.” Dr. Gottschalk’s
discharge followed his resignation to
take effect in June in protest of the
dismissal of Dr. Rolf Johannesen, one
of his associates in the history de-partment.
The announcement of his
immediate dismissal followed a hear-ing
given Dr. Johannesen, at which

Sole Bar to Great Prom
Is Tardy Payment of Fee
With the Junior Prom but two weeks
distant the sole obstacle to a highly
successful and memorable Prom is the
tardiness of members of the Junior
Class, especially Campus Juniors, in
paying the Junior Prom Fee.
Charles J. Robinson, chairman of the
greatest social event of the Univer-sity
season, issued a plea last night
to Juniors. In it he requested that the
prom fee of five dollars be paid to
members of the committee at the
earliest possible moment. William
Keller and Leslie Hauger are Cam-pus
Committee Chairmen.
Juniors will receive their bids up-on
payment of the Prom fee, Mr.
Robinson stated.
The Prom will be strictly formal.
It will be given in the Egyptian Ball-room
of the Kosair Hotel from 10:30
o’clock. Mr. Robinson said that he
took great pleasure in announcing that
after considerable effort the Kentucky
Nighthawks, now playing at Palm
Reach Gardens, New York City, had
been engaged for the occasion. The
rchestra is called the Kentucky Night-hawks
because its leader is a Ken-tuckian,
Mr. Robinson explained.

Administration.
Resolutions Indorsing George Colvin,
president of the University of Louis-ville,
were submitted to the Board of
Trustees by the faculty of the School
yf Dentistry and faculty members of
the School of Medicine.
Bofh sets of resolutions expressing
unqualified indorsemeut of the presi-dent
whose administration has been
under fire by the faculties of the Col-lege
of Liberal Arts and the Speed
Scientific School were made public
Tuesday.
The Dental School resolution was
as follows:
We, the undersigned, members
of the faculty of the School of Den-tistry,
University of Louisville,
mindful of the adverse comment,
criticism and publicity now being
given to the actions of the Presi-dent
and Board of Trustees of the
University of Louisville, take this
opportunity to inform the Presi-dent
and Board of Trustees.
First—That, as a faculty we are
in agreement with them as to their
aims in education, and their poli-cies
in reorganization at the Uni-versity
of Louisville, and that, fur-thermore.
we are unanimous in our
appreciation of the hearty co-oper-ation
and inspiration which we
have received from them through-out
the school year. This co-oper-ation
and inspiration has brought
to the faculty and student body
morale of high order, with a con-sequent
improvement in the work
of both student and teacher.
Second —As an expression of our
High Interest
in Art Exhibit
at the Museum
The exhibition now being given in
the Speed Museum under the auspices
of the Louisville Art Association con-tains
landscapes by John F. Carlson
of Woodstock, New York, and paint-ings
of Mexico and Guatlmala by Max
Vollmberg, who has spent the last
fifteen years in Mexico and Central
America. Mr. Carlson, who was born
in Sweden in 1875, studied under Am-erican
Masters. Mr. Vollmberg, who
was born in Berlin in 1882, has studied
in Berlin with Louis Corinth and in
Paris with Aman Jean. The paintings
jby Carlson and Vollmberg are for
sale. Besides these, numerous loans
of locally-owned works of art are be-ing
exhibited.
The exhibit opened April 3 and will
close April 24. The hours are from
ten o’clock in the morning to nine
at night on week days arid from two
to five in the afternoon on Sundays.
Suggest ‘Patterson Hall'
as Name of New Building
The Alumni Association of the Uni-versity
has submitted a resolution to
the Board of Trustees suggesting that
it would be “the source of great pleas-ure
and satisfaction” to them if the
Administration Building now being
constructed on Belknap Campus were
named Patterson Hall, or the John L.
Patterson Building, in commemora-tion
of the years of earnest work and
devotion of Dr. John L. Patterson to
the University of Louisville.
It is believed that the “secret” res-olution
of the Woodcock Society, an-nounced
in last week’s Cardinal News,
is something to the same effect. The
Alumni resolution follows:
