Title
Statement of Richard Glenn Gettell, Opening Session of the Intercollegiate Student Civil Rights Conference, 1965
Description
This statement from the Mount Holyoke President in 1965 shows that the Civil Rights Conference caused some tension and controversy due to its radical speakers. President Gettell defended the Conference on the basis of “freedom of inquiry and individual responsibility.” He specified that Mount Holyoke did not share the beliefs of all speakers of the Conference, but rather that it was an opportunity for students to hear different views and form their opinions accordingly.
