Emory University Denies Admission To Negro Student
An Emory University official disclosed Wednesday night that a Negro's application for admission there had been turned down.
Dean J. Gordon Stipe, vice president of the University, said the Negro applied for entrance during the summer quarters, but was "immediately notified that he could not be considered."
"So far as I know," Dean Stipe said, "this is the only case on record involving a Negro's application to Emory. While Emory has no racial clause of any kind in its admission regulations, it has, as a private institution, the prerogative of accepting or rejecting any application."
