One new Negro student in the Law School; none in Publc Health; two in the School of Medicine; none in the graduate school. Thus there are three Negroes enrolled in the University for the first semester.
In connection with the above, Chancellor House called attention to the problem of bringing learned groups to the campus, such as a proposed National Conference on Improvement in the Teaching of Mathematics. This Conference is very much desired by the University as being exactly in line with the Trustees' directive concerning the improvement of under-graduate instruction. A national foundation will support the Conference which is an eight-weeks workshop designed for the summer of 1954. The Foundation and Conference are non-segregated in principle, and at other institutions where the Conference has been held a few NEgroes have appeared. It is proposed, and Chancellor House recommended, that one dormitory be set aside for the Conference and one small dining room be set aside in Lenoir Hall for the use of the Conference, and that within these limits the few Negroes who come be housed and fed, and that the Conference be allowed, as is their custom, to have a coffee hour. The purpose is educational and not at all designed as a social gesture.
Chancellor House reported a similar situation experienced this summer when the Army Dental Staff of Fort Bragg came up to inspect the University's Dental School. One or two Negro dentists were in the body. It was desired to give a luncheon to the group at the Carolina Inn and the question arose as to what to do with the Negroes. They were informed that accommodations at the Carolina Inn would not be open to Negroes and that the proposed luncheon would have to be held off of University property or abandoned.
If approval is given to this suggested plan for handling the National Conference on Mathematics, similar groups might be handled from time to time in one of the small dining halls of Lenoir.
After discussion of the above, Mr. Clark moved that such matters be left to the discretion of the University. Mr. Pate seconded this motion, it was put to a vote and carried.
