The Desegregation of Emory University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University Who’s Invited? The Desegregation of Emory University, The University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University Samantha Rahmin AN HONORS THESIS in History Presented to the Faculty of the Department of History of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors 2017 Dr. Beth Wenger, Honors Seminar Director Dr. Mary Frances Berry, Thesis Advisor _______________________________ Siyen Fei Undergraduate Chair, Department of History To my parents for being the wind beneath my wings. i Acknowledgements I’m so lucky to have grown up surrounded by the most amazing family. My parents, Iris Kopeloff and Michael Rahmin, and my siblings, Gabrielle Rahmin and Austin Rahmin, have provided me with unconditional love and encouragement to fulfil my dreams. I’m incredibly grateful that I have the world’s best nana, colloquially known to my friends as “super nana,” as my best friend and constant source of wisdom. I would not be me if it were not for her influence. I have learned so much as a student in the department of history at the University of Pennsylvania. Thank you to Dr. Yvonne Fabella for providing me with endless major specific advice. Thank you to Dr. Thomas Sugrue for inspiring me to pursue this topic and helping me start this research. This thesis would not be complete if it were not for the amazing seminar leader, Dr. Beth Wenger. Dr. Wenger’s ability to teach me research and writing skills of course were a prerequisite for my ability to write this thesis. However, Dr. Wenger’s courses hae also helped me develop as a thinker, and will therefore positively impact every future project that I undertake. Dr. Mary Frances Berry, my thesis advisor, provided me with a wealth of subject specific knowledge, and I am so lucky that this project grew under her guidance. Thank you to my fellow students in my history thesis seminar, and especially my peer group: Chloe Nurik, Hannah Fagin, and John Shinn. Thank you to Dr. Rogers Smith and his Democracy, Constitutionalism, and Citizenship program for both writing support throughout the project and the necessary funding for the work. This thesis benefitted immensely from Emory’s archives, the University of Pennsylvania’s archives, and Princeton’s archives. I am fortunate that many archivists took the time to help me find necessary materials. Finally, I am thankful for the two organizations I have joined at Penn, my sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, and my branch of student government, the Nominations and Elections Committee. The support of my families at Penn has made me the student (and historian) I am now. ii Table of Contents Introduction............................................................................................................................................... 10 Chapter 1: The Desegregation of Emory University………………………………………...11-43 Chapter 2: The Desegregation of The University of Pennsylvania…………………….44-70 Chapter 3: The Desegregation of Princeton University……………………………………71-94 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………………………95-102 iii “In studying the experience of black people with Princeton University—a premiere institution of education—one can better understand how engulfing racism was in this nation's history. By neglecting the histories of African Americans at Ivy League universities, scholars have failed to acknowledge the expanse of the struggle for black freedom.1 Who’s Invited? Most basic American history textbooks emphasize that in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education the Supreme Court ruled to “admit public schools on a racially non discriminatory basis.”2 While this decision is frequently celebrated for its immediate impact, much of its significance stems from the way that it catalyzed a chain of events, and these events eventually sparked desegregation of higher education.3 As a result of this ruling, court mandates frequently forced public universities to alter their admissions criteria.4 This switch in policy correlated with a switch in American attitudes: only twenty six percent of Americans thought that “negroes should go to the same schools as whites” in 1942. By 1967 almost seventy percent believed in school desegregation.5 As the American public began to affirm school desegregation, selective private institutions began transforming their approach to admissions in order to desegregate. This thesis offers a case study of the desegregation of three private schools: Emory University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University. The first chapter demonstrates how Emory University fought Georgia’s law in order to admit black applicants. The chapter shows that once Emory won the right to desegregate, it accepted a 1 Stefan M.

The next chapter highlights the tension associated with Penn’s desegregation process, where administrators struggled to balance the need to admit black students while keeping a high average SAT score. The final chapter shows that while Princeton had the resources to admit black students without sacrificing its reputation, Princeton prevented changing its admissions policies until the emergence of new leadership in the 1960s. In order to show the motives behind each schools’ desegregation process, this thesis relies heavily on materials from each school’s archive and each school’s major student newspaper: The Emory Wheel, The Daily Pennsylvania, and The Daily Princetonian, respectively. At Emory, the archive’s Desegregation Collection holds paperwork surrounding a crucial court decision and provocative correspondences between administrators, alumni, and students. Emory’s archives include the President’s paperwork and admissions files. At Penn’s archives, files from the admissions office shed light on the school’s desegregation process. Princeton’s archives contain much material, but a significant portion is restricted from researchers. Fortunately, each student at Princeton had to write a thesis, and these theses contribute to this work. The source base for each school varied slightly. Yet these sources illuminate the theme that each school delayed desegregation until doing so was convenient for each institution to grow a national reputation. All three institutions aspired to become well known “national universities.” To be a national university, many admissions officers believed they ought to reflect the population of the entire nation. Yet through the 1960s, Emory, Penn, and Princeton each maintained a white student and faculty population in a historically black city. From the 2 middle of the1960s to the middle of the 1970s, each school desegregated by admitting black students in greater numbers. By definition, desegregation means, “to free of any laws, provisions of practices requiring isolation of members of a particular race in separate units.”6 In his recent, Why Busing Failed, Matthew Delmont defines desegregation as “assignment of students to public schools without regard to race, religion, or national origin.”7 Emory fought to admit students in that manner, and Penn and Emory claimed to do so. However, defact segregation hindered these schools from initially admitting black students in greater numbers. This thesis shows how administrators at each school worked within the confines of federal and state law along with internal school policy to allow more black students to gain entry. This paper uses the terminology “black students” opposed to “African American students.” Race refers to a social classification system broadly correlated with phenotypes, which confers such structural advantage to privileged groups. The term has “African American” has implications regarding ancestral origin which are irrelevant to this paper. This work focuses solely on the plight of black applicants; a limitation to this work is that it does not address if the universities became inclusive to other minorities.8 Moreover, the biggest limitation of this thesis is that does not attempt to discuss school integration, meaning according to Merriam Webster Dictionary, “to combine (two or more things) to form or create something.”9 Whereas this thesis demonstrates how Emory, Penn, and Princeton allowed more black students to exist in their campuses, it 6 The Merriam-Webster dictionary (Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster, 2004). 7 Matthew F.

  • Aristotle Meets Apple: Rhetoric in the Podcast”
    “Aristotle Meets Apple: Rhetoric in the Podcast” By Anna Butrico An Undergraduate Honors Thesis presented to the faculty of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS in ENGLISH April 24, 2016 Thesis Advisor: John Clayton Second Reader: Haerin Shin Program Director: Teresa Goddu Instructions for Reading and Listening: This thesis is a multimedia project that has both written and audio components. The introduction and conclusion to the thesis are podcasts themselves, and there are sound bites within the thesis that showcase the podcasts discussed. Refer to the “Butrico Introduction Podcast” MP3 file to hear the introductory podcast, work through the “Sound Bites for Chapter 1 – 3” folders to listen to the bites embedded within the piece, and refer to the “Butrico Conclusion Podcast” file to hear the conclusion. 1 Introduction: Listen to “Butrico Intro Podcast” Chapter I Engaging Listeners in Problem Solving: Deliberative Rhetoric in the Podcast Mrs. Thompson stands on stage at a University of Michigan conference in 2004, holding a letter in her hands. Her shaky voice belies her strength and focused intentions, as she leans her sixty-year old body over the microphone to speak. “Dear Miss Buchanan,” her voice rings out, slowly reading a letter that fired an African American teacher from the local school system. Mrs. Thompson’s words unroll a profound social paradox: the integration of White students into Black schools after the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education verdict illogically caused an increased segregation of Black teachers. This policy (that had large and lasting unintended consequences) is one of the many examples of deliberative rhetoric that the podcast Revisionist History addresses.

  • Andrew Sledd Revisited Terry L. Matthews, Phd / Mount Airy, North Carolina
    Journal of Southern Religion, Volume 6 (December 2003) The Voice of a Prophet: Andrew Sledd Revisited Terry L. Matthews, PhD / Mount Airy, North Carolina In 1902, Andrew Sledd, a professor of Latin at Emory College published “a strong denunciation of lynching in the Atlantic Monthly.” The furor that followed the article’s appearance led the president of Emory, James Dickey, “to ask for Sledd’s resignation.” For the next 100 years, Emory University sought to gloss over or ignore this stain on its institutional soul.1 Not until April 2002, at a special symposium held to commemorate the controversy, did the University act to “right a wrong committed a century ago by revisiting the ‘Sledd affair’ and reflecting on its meaning for Emory today.”2 Indeed, Andrew Sledd’s life and work had meaning far “A man with the beyond the borders of the Emory campus. He was one of the key figures responsible for undermining the ruling courage of his orthodoxies of race, education and religion that held convictions, Sledd Southern culture in an iron grip for far too long.

A self styled “Apostle of the New embarked on a life South,” Sledd spoke out forcefully against the “infidelity long struggle against of the orthodox” proclaiming a gospel of “righteousness the ‘blind adherents’ and social service” that would inspire his students at Emory College and the Candler School of Theology to of racism, anti- 3 intellectualism, and become agents of change across the region.

  • OUTLIERS: the STORY of SUCCESS by Malcolm Gladwell
    An Executive Summary of OUTLIERS: THE STORY OF SUCCESS by Malcolm Gladwell Who is Malcolm Gladwell Malcolm Gladwell is most known for his books, “The Tipping Point: How little things can make a big difference”, “Blink: The power of thinking without thinking”, and “Outliers: The Story of Success”. Amazingly, all the books have been featured on The New York Best Sellers list. Gladwell, who was born on September 3, 1963, is not only a writer but is also a journalist and speaker. As a staff writer for the prestigious “New Yorker” ever since 1966, he has gained a lot of popularity due to this books that deal with his research in various areas of social science. Most importantly, he is known to write in a way that provokes and challenges the reader to think differently. This is our summary of his book: Outliers: The Story of Success Preston and Stig’s General Thoughts on the Book We were initially turned on to this book by a comment that Charlie Munger made during a shareholders meeting. Although many might find the discussion of extraordinary people un-relatable, we are of the opinion that the book provides great insights into the importance of finding your own unique “assets”. Perhaps contrarily to others I don’t see this book as a testament to the concept of luck. I would much rather say that if you are willing to work hard, are talented, and you are lucky to have the right opportunities, you will become successful. Even the most successful people in this world are hard working, and a single individual has hardly been successful by merely having birthdays on a lucky date or simply being gifted with special skills.

  • Malcolm Gladwell on Writing
    The Daily Northwestern - New Yorker writer Gladwell shares tips, stories 02/23/2007 10:06 AM < Back | Home New Yorker writer Gladwell shares tips, stories Becky Bowman Posted: 11/13/01 Reporters should always "swing late," waiting until they begin reporting a story to decide what angle to take with it, New Yorker staff writer Malcolm Gladwell said Monday in Fisk Hall. Gladwell said he has steadfast rules of reporting: Swing late, don't overload stories with information, decide what is truly interesting about a story and meet as many people as possible. Gladwell, whose book "The Tipping Point" examines the intricacies of social networks and the way trends become "epidemics," also said cultivating sources for news stories can be as easy as having a social life. "That's just something I do automatically when I meet someone, without knowing that I'm doing it," Gladwell said. "I try to figure out what they know." He illustrated his point by describing how he wrote "Six Degrees of Lois Weisberg," a New Yorker piece about a 73-year-old Chicago woman who knew everyone in the city. He said the piece practically wrote itself because so much of the reporting involved talking and socializing. Born in England and raised and schooled in Toronto, Gladwell worked as a science writer and New York bureau chief for The Washington Post before moving to The New Yorker in 1996. At The New Yorker, he has written about everything from how fast food is killing Americans to an obese American Indian tribe giving scientists lessons on how to fight weight gain.

In Outliers, Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. To support his thesis, he examines the causes of why the majority of Canadian ice hockey players are born in the first few months of the calendar year, how Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates achieved his extreme wealth, and how two people with exceptional intelligence, Christopher Langan and J. Robert Oppenheimer, end up with such vastly different fortunes. Throughout the publication, Gladwell repeatedly mentions the "10,000-Hour Rule", claiming that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours. The publication debuted at number one on the bestseller lists for The New York Times and The Globe and Mail, holding the position on the former for eleven consecutive weeks. Generally well-received by critics, Outliers was considered more personal than Gladwell's other works, and some reviews commented on how much Outliers felt like an autobiography. Reviews praised the connection that Gladwell draws between his own background and the rest of the publication to conclude the book.
