Dr. Kent,

I will not hesitate to tell you that the check you had sent to me arrived right on time! Thanks again for saving me!!!
Today, Pierre Monteux himself asked me to return next year. He wants me to perform the Mozart Bassoon Concerto at one of his concerts! Can you imagine!? Me!!!! Monteux-Concerto!!!
Since you are well aware of the problems and conflicts I was confronted with in Baltimore, I won’t elaborate on my decision to leave Peabody. I wish now things had worked out differently. The only consolation I can receive having decided to leave, is knowing that you are behind me 100%.

Fondest Regards,
Karl Hampton Porter

P.S. By the way, the check was made out for $40.00.]]> A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute, Accepted but Not Supported: 1955-1968]]> A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute, Policy at the Peabody Preparatory: 1953-1955]]> A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute, Government Inquiries: 1963]]> Daniel Coit Gilman papers, MS.0001

Dear Bill,
The attached correspondence is obviously about a negro music student. What do you want to do about it? My own feeling is to admit him only if, upon examination, he proves to be extremely talented.
Sincerely,
Reg]]> A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute, Acceptance of Paul Brent: 1949]]> A Message of Inclusion, A History of Exclusion: Racial Injustice at the Peabody Institute, Acceptance of Paul Brent: 1949]]>
