According to Pruden, UR students yelled racial insults, booed, and sang a rendition of "Dixie." Pruden was an assistant principal at a local high school where he had encouraged black students, athletes and scholars, to consider the University of Richmond. This event was forcing him to reconsider, noting that when he attended UR similar incidents occurred--he recalls "some of my classmates hollering racial insults at Davidson's first black basketball player as he poured in the baskets." Pruden concludes: "I had hoped that one day such redneck behavior would disappear from our campus, and that we could represent ourselves as a liberally-educated community dedicated to, among other things, the brotherhood of man. However, it seems we have not yet shaken off the yoke of racism entirely."
