MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN COLLEGE
OFFICE OF DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS
STATION A – BOX 11 – HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI

September 14, 1959

Mr. Clyde Kennard
Rt. 1, Box 70
Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Dear Sir:

You are denied admission to Mississippi Southern College because of deficiencies and irregularities in your application papers as follows:

a. A copy of the transcript of your work at the University of Chicago has not been received, and that omission prevents our evaluating your scholastic eligibility to be admitted to Mississippi Southern College. On the basis of information available, you do not appear to be eligible to enter Mississippi Southern College from an out-of-state institution of higher learning.

b. All persons who are admitted to Mississippi Southern College must be of good moral character. The medical certificate filled by you on the date of September 2, 1959, appears to be false and fraudulent. This is indicative of a lack of good moral character.

c. From an investigation conducted at the University of Chicago, it appears that your record is such that you have been denied re-admittance there. A student who can not [sic] return to the last institution of higher learning attended is automatically excluded from Mississippi Southern College.

Very truly yours,

AKL:GLM
