From Leslie Cowan to Dr. F. A. Middlebush

Description: 

Letter from Board of Curators secretary Leslie Cowan to University of Missouri President Frederick A. Middlebush, reporting that he is not making mention of his discussion of Lucile Bluford correspondence with the Board of Curators at its February 22 meeting, unless Middlebush thinks he should. He writes, however, that he assumes "no record is to be made." At the time, Bluford was the managing editor of the Kansas City Call and seeking admittance to the masters degree program at MU's School of Journalism. After repeated efforts to enter the program, and repeated denials due to her race, she filed a lawsuit against the university that eventually was heard before the Missouri Supreme Court.
