From S. W. Canada to Charles H. Houston

Description: 

Letter from University of Missouri registrar S. W. Canada to Charles H. Houston, writing that in spite of Houston's apparently disagreement iwth the opinion of the Supreme Court and attorney general in the Lucile Bluford case, Canada believes it is his duty to follow the opinion and stating that he remains without authority to admit Bluford to the university. 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.
