According to Jennings, at the School of Business Administration’s faculty meeting, Jennings mentioned that "a member of the Board of Directors of the Tuckahoe Elementary P.T.A. questioned the line of succession of board members of the Virginia Educational TV which P.T.A.’s, along with other organizations, have been asked to support." Since the meeting, they had a drive for donations and raised over three hundred dollars. However, some questioned whether "‘left-wing liberals could not infiltrate the board’" in the organization of the ETV program. Jennings wrote to Modlin for an answer because without one, "support for the ETV program may be lost."

Modlin wrote that he will not agree to serve as vice chairman of the Central Committee for Educational Television until there are clear expectations on what the three of them would work on together. He wanted to discuss this with representatives from Richmond television stations to "be more certain of their attitudes toward this new educational development." Modlin claimed that if "something constructive may be accomplished by our working together," then he would take the position. However, the details of the new educational development is unstated.

Description An account of the resource This document is a letter that was sent on March 13, 1967, from President George M. Modlin to Benjamin Berkofsky. It was written in response to a letter Berkofsky previously sent. In his original letter, Berkofsky claimed that the university’s faculty hiring process was prejudiced against Jewish people; Modlin refuted this claim. He explained that Berkofsky’s letter was "the first of its kind" because the University of Richmond’s faculty, student body, friends, and supporters come from all faiths, religions, and denominations and the university is proud of its "long tradition of academic and religious freedom." In addition, there was a building on campus given by a Jewish family, there were two Jewish fraternities, there was an annual Jewish "Lecturer-in-Residence," and Jewish people have been invited to campus as students and speakers. Therefore, the faculty opening in piano, though not given to Berkofsky’s son, was given to "the best man available to us."

Berofsky wrote, "Apparently, his [Dr. Erb’s] lack of seniority, despite being ‘Music Director,’ forced him into accepting an established point of view he did not relish."

Conquest wrote to Modlin on March 11, 1965, to inform him of Richmond Forward’s resolution which was unanimously passed on March 10, 1965. Richmond Forward was interested in "the best possible government for Richmond and in determining the best possible method of solving our urban problems" and felt it necessary to conduct non-partisan research on Richmond’s "urban problems." In addition, they requested the University of Richmond’s help to "set up the appropriate department to undertake non-partisan research into the problems facing the City of Richmond and the two adjacent counties, Henrico and Chesterfield." It is unclear what Richmond Forward means by "urban problems," but is likely tied to nationwide efforts towards urban renewal. Urban renewal often destroyed historical landmarks and neighborhoods, many of them populated by marginalized communities.

Modlin, the Chancellor and former President of the University of Richmond. Larkin wrote to Modlin because Modlin and his wife had given money to the University Band to travel abroad, but Larkin, along with several student officers, decided to cancel the trip. Larkin felt that it was not in the Band’s and university’s best interest to "undertake something of this magnitude without complete representation and confidence." In regards to the Band’s future, three questions kept coming up: "use of drum majorettes, carrying in the Confederate flag, and the playing of ‘Dixie.’" Though Larkin and Modlin agree on these issues, there was student pressure to address these matters, which had the potential to create controversy or lower student support, so Larkin considered consulting President Heilman.
