                <text>In this letter, J. Hall Pleasants, a member of the Peabody Institute Board of Trustees and the Conservatory Committee, responds to William L. Marbury with his opinion on the admission of Paul A. Brent to the Conservatory.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Bill&#13;
I vote reluctantly to admit Brent as a student in the advanced department of the Peabody Conservatory of course subject to Mr. Stewart finding him to be “extremely talented”. That Mayor Jackson backs him counts nothing with me. I have talked the matter over with Mrs. Cooper who is here at York Harbor, and also with Gilman Paul before I left, and as you and they feel that he should be admitted, I acquiesce. I do not think however, that a public announcement of a policy to admit negroes should be made until there has been a full discussion of the subject at a board meeting. &#13;
I feel that there is an hysterical element in the way the negro question, especially in its racial aspects, is being rushed at the present time, and that under the guise of racial equality, things are going too fast. Had public opinion been allowed to develop more slowly there would be less friction in a community like Baltimore. You and I both know, that apart from the negroes themselves, where most of the pressure now comes from. &#13;
Yours sincerely,&#13;
J. Hall Pleasants</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>

                <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>

                <text>On October 18, 1949, Peabody’s Board of Trustees discussed the admission of Paul A. Brent to the Conservatory after each member had cast their vote by letter over the preceding months. Despite William L. Marbury’s expectation that the Board would be in favor of “removing the racial barrier altogether,” they determined to admit African-American students only to the Conservatory on a case-by-case basis, excluding the Preparatory and summer programs completely.</text>
