Description

Personal letter from Walter L. Lipscomb to Herbert Thomas opposing the admission of black students to the University of Arkansas. Conway, Arkansas February 1, 1948 Mr. Herbert Thomas Chairman, Board of Trustees University of Arkansas Fayetteville, Arkansas Dear Mr. Thomas: As an alumnus of the University of Arkansas, I am extremely bitter and violently opposed to the decision which the Board of Trustees and Dr. Luis Webster Jones have announced concern- ing the admittance of negro students to the university. It is true that educational facilities for negroes in Arkansas are pathetically inadequate, and I will heartely endorse the approvements and additions to the AM and N College at Pine Bluff to raise it, if need be, to graduate level, or the establishment of a regional negro university, which issue is to come before the Southern Governors' Convention. But for the present it is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees
