Issue: "Hampton Institute Students Visit W&L"

Black Students, Visiting Students, Cultural Exchange

This February 1964 issue of the Ring-tum Phi is replete with topics covering desegregation at Washington and Lee and the nation at large. In this one issue alone, the Ring-tum Phi covers the Hampton Institute visit, covering the first black students to attend classes at Washington and Lee since John Chavis at Liberty Hall, a member of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association urges the W&L community to take their stance on desegregation, and three students alongside one professor attended “The Second American Revolution,” a conference examining the state of the Civil Rights Movement.
