THE SUTHERLAND MATTER:

Mrs. W. O. S. Sutherland, of Wilmington, N. C., accomplete by her daughter Dorothy, a former
student at Mary Washington College, appeared before the Board to request the withdrawal of a communication
which she had received from the school advising her that her daughter would not be permitted to return
for the session of 1945-46 on account of the infraction by her of certain school regulations. The matter

was very fully discussed and considered during which President Combs and several members of the faculty were
heard, and, on motion, was referred to a special committee to be appointed by the Rector for further investigation
and report.

The meeting then adjourned,
