Chairman of the Admissions Policy Committee Concerning your letter inquiring about the status of policy relating to the admission of Negro students to Swarthmore College, the follow~ng can be sairl at this time: 1) The Committee will be meeting next week to make final revisions in a tentative statement of policy recommendations to be submitted to the faculty for discussion. It is anticipated that such a discussion will take place immediately after the return from Christmas vacation. After having ascertained faculty views on the matter, we intend to distribute the tentative recommendations to all Negro students in order to ascertain their views on the subject. Hopefully a fi~al policy .statement would then be forthcoming within a week or so after that. This timetable would allow us to take such policy into consideration before making admissions decisions for this year . 2) The reasons why it has taken nearly a full semester to bring forth policy recommendations should be clear to anyone who has read the Phoenix during that period of time. 3) The Committee has (and will continue to do so) consulted all Negro students--including SASS and its members--on matters relating to the admission of Negro students. However, since all of us on the Committ~e c~~ry other responsibilities in the College, we have had to bring our efforts to a conclusion as best we could within the limited time and r e sources available to us. We have patiently waited for repli es to inquiries made in a letter sent to all Negro students last October 21st, but as ye t have received not a sing le reply.
