ADMISSION OF MRS. PARSON TO THE COLLEGE

President Darden referred to the minutes of the April 9th meeting of the Board relative
to the application of Mrs. Lucille Parson for permission to matriculate in the College,
pointing out that the language of the minutes appeared to be a judgment by the Board of
Mrs. Parson's qualifications as a student.

The Board thereupon resolved that the concluding portion of the minute in question be
revised to read as follows: ". . the Board resolved that Mrs. Parson, as the wife of a
professor, should be admitted, upon application, as a regular student in the College of
Arts and Sciences provided that her qualifications for admission be equal to the
qualifications required of male applicants admitted to the College, and that her sex should
not be a bar to admission."
