office of the President, with the following present: The Rector, E. R. Stettinius, Jr., Visitors E. C.
Anderson, Mrs. J. M. H. Willis, M. H. Bustard, Thomas B. Gay, and G. Tyler Miller; President Newcomb
and President Combs. I have brought your letter to the attention of Governor Fuck
and he has requested me to write you and ask you to initiate the action
necessary to call a special meeting of the Board of Visitors to reconsider
their action rejecting the proposal to admit male veterans as day
students at the Mary Washington College. The Governor feels that the
action of the Board of Visitors is directly at odds with the policy of the
State Board of Education and the policy he has set forth himself in regard
to veterans education. If there are male veterans in the vicinity of
Fredericksburg, married or single, who would find it more convenient to
attend Mary Washington College, the Governor feels that they must be
allowed to do so. Since the time remaining before the opening of the
Fall term is short, the Governor urges you to re-open this matter with
the Board as soon as possible. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
