10 Edward A Norman, President of the Rural Settlement Institute of New York City, writes that he will visit the College sometime between April 13 and 20. In his letter he says: “I would like to talk about the possibilities of cooperative communities as a practical approach to the needs of the people and as a foundation for the preservation of democracy in the economic era that lies ahead. I hope also to make reference to the part that I think a college like Black Mountain could take in fostering a cooperative development of the type I have in mind.”

Excerpts from recent letters:
1 Ezra McIntosh, Program Director at WWNC, writes:
“You may count on WWNC doing all it possibly can in connection with your Latin-American courses next year.
“Of course, it is too early to judge just what amount of time will be available, or to give an exact quotation of availabilities, but you may be assured of our interest in the series and of our desire to further the work of this new department.”
2 Robert Field of the School of Art, Sophie Newcomb College, New Orleans, writes Anni Albers:
“The Black Mountain textiles have arrived—and they’re simply marvelous. I can’t tell you how excited we all are to have them with us for a few weeks. They would guarantee the success of any exhibition. I only hope that through their example we can establish a point of view in our own weaving department upon which we can build in the years to come.”

For discussion at faculty meeting:
1 Supplementary report on Jerry Wolport (Bob Babcock).
2 Supplementary report on Maude Dabbs (Dr Jalowetz).
3 The problem of Order at Black Mountain.
