University of Virginia Library

Student Activity

Finally, Mr. Godwin addressed
himself to student activity in these
areas. He said, "I wonder, for
instance, if as students, you really
expect to have a voice in what the
University pays its employees or
how the Governor makes appointments
to the Board of Visitors.

"I say this out of my own
conviction and because I am certain
I express the overwhelming sentiment
of the people of Virginia.
They feel very strongly that
students at our State-supported
colleges and universities are there to
get an education and not to dictate
policy."
