- Description:
- March 20, 1970 Hobbs' response to Siler who had threatened to cancel a provision in his will for one fourth of his assets to go to Guilford College after his death. Hobbs asserts that Siler had misinterpreted an article in the Greensboro News and Record about the college agreeing to the request of black students to be allowed a minimum grade requirement of "C." Hobbs questions Siler's decision without having talked to anyone in the administration about the matter and states that he and the administration in no way "bowed down" to the demands of the black students. He also offers to talk with Siler about the situation in hopes that he might reconsider his decision. (Document includes a draft).
