School Recruits Blacks
Rallies were held, students
got excited, administrative
hairs grayed, committees got
appointed, and the University
began, perhaps for the first
time, seriously talking about
changing its attitudes and
increasing its efforts to recruit
black students. A summer
preparatory program was
inaugurated, largely with
student-raised money. Things
started to happen.
Two years ago the
enrollment of 92 black
students in the first-year class
raised the percentage of blacks
in the College from 0.7 per
cent of three years ago to 1.9
per cent. The total black
enrollment at the University
rose to a"peak"of 2.2 per cent.
