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, including a Faculty Review dispute and a scheduling dispute, Dr Jervey sued college president Dr. Charles K. Martin/Board of Visitors. This file consists of a statement made by the Department of History in which they are formally recording their “serious criticisms” of the policies “together with a brief description of the problems”. It is unclear who wrote the memo or what happened to it after it was written.
