REPORT ON HARRISON MANN, JR.'S LETTER
In compliance with the Board's request at the last meeting on 8 April 1961, the President and the
Chancellor distributed to the Board members copies of their written report on a request for a review
of admissions policy at Mary Washington College made by Mr. Harrison Mann, Jr. in his letter to the
Rector dated 5 April 1961 in which Mr. Mann alleged that Mary Washington College had deliberately
the most highly qualified. The report stated that there had been no effort to limit enrollment by
curtailing requests for capital outlays. The report took issue with Mr. Mann's letter by pointing
out that Mary Washington College was charged by statute to maintain the same standards for admission
and graduation as the college at Charlottesville. Also, the College is already the largest State-supported
women's college in Virginia and is, in fact, the largest devoted entirely to undergraduate
education in the country. The report further showed that qualified Virginia students who
had applied before 1 February, the date specified in the catalogue, in both 1960 and 1961, had been
admitted.
After a lengthy discussion, the following resolution was adopted
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the report of the President and the Chancellor on the letter of Mr. Harrison Mann, Jr. to the
Rector dated 5 April 1961 be filed by the Secretary with the records of the Board, and that the
President be and he is hereby directed to reply to Mr. Mann on behalf of the Board, using the joint
report as the basis for his reply.
