- Description:
- In this March 18, 1970 letter to Guilford College President Grimsley Hobbs, Wesley Siler, a 1949 graduate of the college, rescinds his intention of giving a contribution to Guilford College and informs Hobbs that he is writing the college out of his will due to the administration's handling of the black students' request for a minimum grade requirement of "C" and other requests. The catalyst for the letter and Siler's decision was a March 18th article in the Greensboro News & Record.
