$150,000 aid

Kresge Foundation of Troy,
Michigan, toward the second
phase renovation and

historic landmark constructed
by Atlanta University in 1882.
The revovation and

of the College, Dr. William A.
Fountain, Sr., started in 1975.
Commenting on the grant,
Dr. Robert Threatt, president
of Morris Brown, expressed
gratitude to The Kresge
Foundation, and said the
“contribution will be a
substantial help toward
completing the $1.3 million
project by 1978,“ to provide the
college with a classroom
facility to accommodate
programs in business art,
English and sociology.
The Kresge Foundation, one
of the largest in the country,
has made grants of more than
$283 million to institutions in
the fields of higher learning,
health services, social welfare
and the care of the young and
aged in the past 54 years. It
was founded by the late
Sebastian S. Kresge, founder of
the S. S. Kresge Company, now
known as K-Mart Corporation.
