Foreword The 1949 Thoroughbred has chosen for its theme A University With A Future in presenting the role each school plays in the development of the University. The Larson Plan, photographed on the introduction and conclusion pages of the Thoroughbred, represents the architectural program designed to pace the University's progress. The community has felt the importance of the University of Louisville through education and services offered to it by the Kent School of Social Work, Neighbor- hood Colleges, Community Chest Drives, and other welfare projects. The Public Relations Department has looked to the future by sponsoring a color movie entitled What is a University , portraying campus life at the University of Louisville. The presentation of this film throughout the country will be influential in attracting potential University students to our doors. One of the most significant changes which the University of Louisville has contrib- uted to education in recent years is the idea of radio-assisted correspondent courses by which students may listen to the radios in their homes and complete work for college degrees. The University has joined with the 137 stations of the National Broadcasting Company in presenting the courses as The University of the Air. The 1949 Thoroughbred honors the University of Louisville, a University with a future. THE EDITOR
