- Description:
- This memorandum from Chancellor Gordon William Blackwell dated March 16, 1960, addresses the publicity given to Blackwell's remarks to the student body following the sit-ins. Blackwell states that his comments, which were critical of the sit-ins, must be viewed in light of the fact that the events had occurred so close to an event that had been planned in advance, and notes that he is working on a solution to the problem. Several Woman's College students participated in the sit-ins.
