Fourteen months into President Bush’s term, Southern Methodist University has launched a campaign to bring his future library to Dallas.
“Since Texas already has two presidential libraries” – Lyndon Johnson’s in Austin and the elder George Bush’s in College Station – “we believe Dallas would be an ideal location for the next one,” SMU president Gerald Turner said. “We have the location and the amenities for a beautiful site.”
SMU officials are interviewing local architects and are considering potential sites on and around the campus.
