APPLICATION OF MR. BOOKER REAVES FOR ADMISSION

Dean Stiles had sent to each member of the Board a letter concerning the application of
Mr. Booker Reaves to the Department of Education for admission to pursue graduate study. The
President stated that he had reviewed the offerings in the State in this field with Dean Stiles,
and admission had been denied Mr. Reaves because he could secure training either in Richmond or at
Virginia State College in Petersburg.

Whereupon a resolution was adopted approving the action of the President in denying admission
to the Department of Education to Mr. Booker Reaves.
