Transcript | OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT University of Houston 3 801 CULLEN BOULEVARD HOUSTON 4, TEXAS November 5* 1958 ^ w Mr. E. K. Aboagye Brewery Road, House No. D446/4 Adabraka, Accra Ghana Dear Mr. Aboagye: I regret very much to state that there has been a misunderstanding on your part. The University of Houston has not yet reached a decision as to when it will admit Negro students. As of this date I must advise you, therefore, not to plan to enter this institution in 1959. I strongly suggest to you that your desire© sight be realized should you apply to an institution which does not have the integration problem unresolved. I presume that you are in contact with the American diplomatic authorities in Accra. Please know that you have the very best wishes of this university. Most sincerely yours. Gianton W. Williams President ekr |
