Text Any textual data included in the document Centre College of Kentucky Danville, Kentucky October 18, 1954 President Leo Eddleman Georgetown College Georgetown, Kentucky Dear President Eddleman, The two Synods of the Presbyterian Church in Kentucky have passed resolutions requesting that its institutions of higher education open their doors to qualified students of all races regardless of color. These resolutions will be placed before the Board of Trustees of Centre College of Kentucky at their fall meeting, October 30, 1954. It would be of considerable help to our trustees if we had the latest accurate information concerning what our independent non-tax-supported institutions of higher education in Kentucky are doing on this matter. Will you be good enough, therefore, to send in your reply to the following questions in the enclosed self addressed envelop at your earliest convenience? I hope that we can have this information prior to October 30th, 1. Does your present policy permit you to accept qualified Negro applicants? So far no racial barriers have been imposed in recent decades. 2. If the policy does permit the acceptance of such applications, are there any particular requirements governing the acceptance of Negro students, or are Negro students accepted on the same basis as all others? All students of whatever race will have to be "qualified" according to the usual standards, academically and otherwise. This involves the usual transcript of credits, recommendation of local pastor, etc. 3. Are there any Negro students enrolled in your institution this year? No 4. If your present policy does not permit you to accept qualified Negro applicants, is it planned to alter that policy to enable you to do so?___ If such is the plan when do you expect it to be put into effect?____ Very sincerely yours, Walter A, Groves President WAG.mp P.S. It will be sufficient if you will note your replies in this letter at places indicated and return to me. WAG (over) We do not know what would take place if a Negro applicant should present himself. The administration would record his acceptance, though the trustees would doubtless expect to take action themselves one way or another. H.
