Howard University Student Receives Unfriendly Reception

As of 1964, the last time a Howard University student had studied at Bucknell for a semester was Martha F. Brooks in 1959. After her experience, she wrote this letter, published in the Bucknellian both that year and five years later, stating that Bucknell is not ready for this type of exchange program. She did not have a welcoming and positive experience at Bucknell, and the writer republishing this letter 5 years later points out that this is the reason Bucknell has a bad reputation among black students.
