Documents concerning the dismissal of students Box 12, Folder 2

Professors John L. Campbell, Sr. and Junius Fishburn discovered three intoxicated students: W. W. Houston, R. K. Estill, and W. M. Brown. The faculty voted to dismiss them from Washington College. The student body petitioned for their co-horts to be reinstated but were denied. They burned in effigy both professors. In addition to the petition, the folder includes a printed description of events dated March 15 as well as two documents of apology issued to the faculty by offending students. The printed description says there were two intoxicated students but the petition lists the three above.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
