                <text>In 1952, Conservatory Dean Virginia Carty received a letter from Walter E. Hager, President of Wilson Teachers College in Washington, D.C., as a follow up to a 1950 Regional Conference on Discrimination in College Administration. Hager asked for a report on any change in discriminatory policies, enrollment of minority students, and creating a more inclusive culture. Conservatory Director Reginald Stewart told Carty, “We have nothing to report,” and Carty responded by saying that “our policy is to accept students for regular work in the Conservatory whenever they are ready to undertake the course. This is done regardless of race, religion or creed.” This statement is significant because no discussion of this policy had been recorded since the determination in 1949 that African-American students would be accepted to the Conservatory on a case-by-case basis only. </text>

                <text>Ellis Larkins was a childhood piano prodigy from Baltimore, MD. He was famous within Baltimore at a very young age, making his debut with the City Colored Orchestra in 1934 at the age of six. Although taught by Peabody faculty members, Larkins was never allowed to enroll at the school because of his race. He later received an honorary Bachelor's Degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1985.</text>

                <text>In this letter, Douglas H. Gordon, a member of the Peabody Institute Board of Trustees, responds to William L. Marbury with his opinion on the admission of Paul A. Brent to the Conservatory. Gordon was the only trustee who did not agree to admit Brent to the Conservatory. &#13;
&#13;
Dear Billie:&#13;
I received word yesterday that you would like to know the opinion of the Peabody board members on the question of admitting a colored student to the Conservatory. &#13;
It seems to me that it would be a great mistake to change the present policy. In our climate the presence of negroes can to some be extremely offensive. Notwithstanding this, to others their presence together with whites at school, etc., is [illegible] in the South going to lead to such a mixed race as can see [sic] in Sicily or Brazil, — not a very edifying spectacle. &#13;
The effect upon our enrollment might be disastrous. At a time when it is probably going to fall for a while, due to less abundant money in parents’ hands, our principal competitors, — our own graduates teaching music —, may well take away a large part of our own enrollment. When the Board of St. John’s College decided not to accept a negro applicant, and the Executive Committee caused him to be accepted, a drive for funds which was contemplated had to be given up for want of Alumni support. &#13;
If the applicant for the Conservatory is really of outstanding talent, the Peabody should give him financial aid enabling him to study at the Conservatory in Boston, which is not vexed with the problem in question. &#13;
Sincerely yours,&#13;
Douglas Gordon</text>

&#13;
Dear Billy -&#13;
I am sorry to have been so slow in answering your letter but we were on a trip to the White Mountain in New Hampshire and no mail was forwarded. &#13;
At first I was inclined to disagree with you and the others about the advisability of admitting a negro student to the Conservatory. However after giving further consideration to this problem I find that I am in agreement with you provided it is not used to set a precedent but that each future case will be decided upon its merits. &#13;
It seems to me that a line, perhaps a fine one, can be drawn between other activities of the Conservatory and the Advance [sic] Department which requires individual instruction rather than work in the Classroom. &#13;
We have been thinking of all you in [illegible] but not with the same sympathy as ordinarily because the heat has been pretty bad up here and the fields are burned to a crisp with little or no rain for the past two months and more. Charlotte sends her love to Natalie.&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
Hambleton</text>
