Commenting on this possibility,
Crockett said "This is entirely out

He stated further that "such a

Donovan. Gov. Earle C. Clements,
board chairman, attended
the meeting.
The decision that Negro grad
uate students may enter the University unless "substantially equal"
facilities were provided elsewhere,
was handed down by Federal Judge
H. Church Ford. March 31.
The test case was taken to court
by Lyman Johnson. Louisville Negro graduate student. Johnson has
indicated that he will attend the
University for the summer term to
work for a doctor of philosophy
degree in history.
University officials stated at the
trial that adequate facilities could
be provided at the Kentucky State
College for Negroes in Frankfort.
University professors would travel
to Frankfort to instruct students.
In addition, students would have
the use of the University library
and facilities on campus.
However, Judge Ford ruled that
this was not "substantially equal"
to the opportunities provided on
the campus through class dLscus-sio- ns
and "bull sessions."
