Dear Miss Mmkels

i @m sorry to tell you thet I had a conference
with Chancellor talott last Friday and he said under no
circunstances would he accept your resignation at the end
of the first semester. He feels that it is your cbligation,
inasmuch as you took the job for this year, to continue
until the end of the second semesters

Frankly, I feel in entire accord with him because
it leaves the University in e@ position that they are unable
to find replacemont to #222 your positions

Had this real guation been asked on wasiaids of your
bettering yourself in e professicml wey, the University

- would have doubtless considered your request from a different

angle, but since your professional responsibility should

exesed your convenience in this case, I am passing om the

<eee opinion of the Chancellors

\ Sincerely yours,

Yea $e
