Our Man Has Hand in Mississippi

By MARY CAFFEE Correspondent Dr. Henry King Stanford, president of the University of Miami, will take part next month in deciding the academic fate of thousands of Mississippi college students. Dr. Stanford is head of the Commission on Colleges. The commission which will decide if the University of Mississippi and other state-owned schools there will lose their accreditation. The Commission will meet in Dallas, Texas, Nov. 26-29. Loss of accreditation would mean that Mississippi college students' work would be unacceptable for transfer. Last month, the Commission was called into emergency session, by Dr. Stanford in Atlanta. Reason for the meeting was that Governor Ross Barnett interfered with the administration of the University of Mississippi by acting as registrar of the school when he tried, futilely, to keep Negro James Meredith from enrolling. In Dallas, the Commission will try to decide if Barnett had put too much political pressure to bear on the University of Mississippi, and if so, is the violation of the regulations of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools flagrant enough to warrant expulsion of all Mississippi schools and therefore loss of accreditation When Governor Barnett received the Commission's telegram in September, he called Dr. Stanford to talk about it. However, the call was to the president's home at 1:40 in the morning. Apparently, the Governor had been out and received the wire on arriving home. The two talked for about 40 minutes, Dr. Stanford recalls. Dr. Stanford made this point: Its no business of the Commission he heads who is enrolled in the University of Mississippi as long as the enrollee meets requirements. What concerns the Commission, he said, is that the board of trustees of the institution had yielded control to an outside force, in this case the Governor. This violates accreditation rules. Dr. Stanford has been head of the Commission of Colleges for three years. He was first elected chairman when he was still serving as president of Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama. He became president of the University of Miami last year when Dr. J. F. W. Pearson moved up to the position of Chancellor.
