In this May 8, 1969 letter to Board of Trustee member Robert Frazier, Guilford College President Grimsley Hobbs addresses the subject of campus unrest across the country and how it relates to Guilford College. Hobbs commends the leadership of certain students for their efforts to work with the administration and describes the college's Administrative Council's preliminary conclusions about how to respond to a group protest on campus. The council recommends negotiations only with representatives of the protesters, never with a mob, and that negotiations should take place in an area designated by the administration with at least three members of the administration or faculty present.
