description The Board had requested this report at its meeting on June 14, 1960. In it Trenholm discusses recent civil rights demonstrations led by students and faculty at the college, and he assures the Board that the situation is improving: "While there have been the several instances of continuing demonstration-efforts in the past three months, it is to be observed that the number of participating students has steadily been reduced to a small minority...During the entire period, the President has sought to proceed judiciously and constructively. There has been cognizance of the highly-emotionalized aspects as well as of the outside involvement. The duly-and-recurrently 'deliberated' administrative procedures have sought to develop both understanding and appreciation of the unwholesome and unwise aspects of the entire situation. The objective has been to utilize each opportunity for the improvement of control-procedures and to reduce the pretext for additional demonstrations. There has necessarily been the long-range effort to 'salvage' both students and staff and the college...toward the end of an improved circumstance for the ensuing year of 1960-61." The report ends by listing the measures the school has taken to control future protest activities on campus.
