- Description
- Dr. Ed Jervey was a Professor of History at Radford College/Radford University from roughly 1961-1991. Because of a controversy involving a "Letters to the Editor" submission to Redbook Magazine, (in response to an article published in February 1968 titled "Why I Believe in Sex Before Marriage" by Suzanne Milas), and Radford College's response to that letter, Dr Jervey sued college president Dr. Charles K. Martin/Board of Visitors.
This file consists of a letter Attorney G.H. Gromel Jr wrote to Franklin P. Hillman referring to a conversation they had earlier had and reminding Hillman of some details to be expected in the upcoming trial in the case Jervey vs. Martin. Gromel also includes various passages from Suzanne Milas’ article “Why I Believe in Sex Before Marriage” that he expects Hillman to read aloud in court. Also included is Hillman’s response including a detailed explanation of the scheduling practices for assigning faculty classes.
