| Transcript | -* ©IBVEF; MAY 21 1956 1516 North Street 0ff»^ Texarkana, Texas vice PRESIDENT May 18, 1956 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS Dr. Clanton W. Williams Vice President of Academic Affairs University of Houston Houston, Texas My dear Sir: In reply to your request that I give more information regarding the program which I had wanted to pursue at the University of Houston during the summer session of 1956, I am presenting the following facts which will, I hope, clarify your thinking regarding my application for admittance. My academic standing is as follows: B. A. Degree, Major Social Science, Houston College for Negroes, 1940 B. S. in Home Economics, Houston College, 1946 M. S. in Ed., Texas Southern University, 1948 Since these degrees have been awarded, I have completed 33 semester hours in Special Education, of which number 15 semester hours are in the field of Speech and Hearing Therapy. I have already completed approximately 70 clock hours of clinical practice at the University of Texas Speech and Hearing Clinic, under the supervision of Doctors Kopra, Villa- real and Mrs. Maurine Amis. Since I reside in the Houston metropolitan area, it occurred to me that I would have a wider field in which to do clinical work in speech correction, and in other clinical areas as listed on the brochure from the Speech Department of the University of Houston. I further had in mind that if I should have some training from the University of Houston, that, along with my training and contacts at the University of Texas, would enable me to become prepared to work in clinical services in the area in which I reside. As to the matter of having other persons confer with you regarding matriculation at the University of Houston, I have no persons to suggest. In fact I am interested in my own professional growth and development in the area of clinical and psychological services. To that end, early in February, I began correspondence with the Division of Speech and Hearing at the University of Houston. I desire no fanfare with respect to the application. Yours very respectfully, (Mrs.) Bennie B. Savannah |
