Title
Letter from Charles H. Wheeler III to George M. Modlin
Subject
Description
In this letter, University of Richmond Secretary-Treasurer Charles H. Wheeler III addresses University President George M. Modlin on the topic of actions taken by Marian H. Hamilton, the Westhampton College Dean of Students. Wheeler states that Hamilton overstepped her bounds by calling a meeting with the Westhampton dining hall’s waitresses and distributing instruction sheets (a copy of which is attached to this letter). Wheeler explains that Hamilton’s meeting has caused “considerable resentment”, and he requests the immediate withdrawal of these distributed instructions. Additionally, Wheeler says Hamilton told the waitresses that students were allowed to smoke at at least one meal a day; however, the dining hall is not equipped for cigarette waste.
