NEGRO STUDENT'S APPLICATION
The Chancellor informed the Board that an application had been filed by a young Negro woman
in Spotsylvania County for admission to the College as a full-time day student in the 1956-57
session. The applicant, it developed, is known to be a graduate of John J. Wright High School,
but the admissions authorities of the College have not yet received a transcript of her subsequent
record at Morgan College, Baltimore, Maryland. It was accordingly ordered that action on the
matter be deferred until the June meeting of the Board. In response to a Visitor's suggestion,
the President said that he would in the meantime consult with the Governor and the Attorney
General on the policy involved.
