SPEECH CORRECTION PROGRAM

President Darden reported that tentative plans had been made between the Dean of Mary
Washington and the Faculty of the University to enable a few girls interested in taking work in
speech correction to spend their fourth year in Charlottesville and to receive a degree from
Mary Washington

After considerable discussion of the proposal, the establishment of such a program was
approved in principle, with the details left to be worked out by the respective schools. Mr. Gay
stated that he thought the Act establishing Mary Washington as a liberal arts college and making
it institutionally a part of the University contemplated that young women students would be
educated at Fredericksburg and not at Charlottesville, and that in his opinion it was unwise to
admit undergraduate females in the College at the University. He expressed himself as being
strongly in favor of the preservation of the University as a school for men, and to put into effect
the proposed proposal would be merely another step in the program of coordination, to which he was
unalterably opposed
