Academic Credit for Classical Tour

At its last meeting the Board referred to the Mary Washington Committee the question of
granting credit at Mary Washington College for a summer Classical Backgrounds Tour. The committee
members present met with President Darden immediately after the Board adjourned on March 9, 1951.

While we very much liked the proposed plan and think that the experience of such a study
tour will be most profitable to the participating students, the committee feels that the granting
of academic credit for it would not be to the best interests of Mary Washington College, and recommends
that no such credit be given.
