LONGWOOD AND MADISON COLLEGES
President Darden reported that President Lankford of Longwood College and President Miller of
Madison College had proposed to him that consideration be given to the possibility of working out
a plan whereby the two colleges could become affiliated with the University. The conversations
had been very tentative, Mr. Darden said, and he did not wish to pursue the matter further until
he knew (1) the attitude of the Visitors toward his studying possible plans of association, and
(2) the attitude of the State Board of Fducation, which now administers the two colleges. Mr.
Howard stated that the State Board has taken no action, but is cognizant of the proposal, and
wishes to discuss it with Mr. Darden. The Visitors agreed that President Darden should examine
the matter further with Presidents Lankford and Miller and with the State Board.
