Reports Case T* NAACP
In report.r.g her case to the

at the Stata Hoap.tal for Insane in

When she arrived at the colleze
K» pt- 23. Dr. Lord stated that he d.d
r.ot know ahe was a Negro, and had
he known before, he would have
told her the difficulty involved in
tr.aking arrangements for Negro
g.rli in clinic work.
The clinic work is an orientation
course which allow* the prospective
therapud.at to become acquainted
%v;th therapy and the college to de
termine the applicants ability Dr.
Lord told M;*s Stewart that there
w as need for Negro girls in the field
•nd that he did not want to d.a
eourage her.
M..ss Stewart stated he referred
her to the resident physical thera
pist, Mia T.mey, who Informed her
that she eould get the theory but
not the clinical work. The reason
given wes that the college had not
made for Negroes in
the clinics. Miss Stewart waa ad
v.sed to take the theory and later
transfer to another school for the
clinical part of the course. The cur
riculum selected by Miss Stewart
d.d not include a clinic course, al
though white students enrolled af
ter aha did, were sent to clinics.
In e letter to Dr. Munson, presi
dent of Michigan State Normal
College. Gloster B. Current, exec
sit ve secretary NAACP. declared
that there is no reason for “unusual
treatment or special consideration"
in Mis* Stewart's case. The NAACP
communication pointed out that
*:he college has a responsibility to
rake available equal facilities to
■ll student* regardless of race or
color, and thu should not entail
