Abstract

[On a March day in 1965, Emily Taylor sat at her wide wooden desk reading a thank you note from two KU students, Linda Cook and Carol Borg. Notes of appreciation frequently crossed her desk as a matter of etiquette, an expected courtesy reflective of the formality of the time. Most letters expressed gratitude for a speech by Taylor or for her help arranging classes. This note, though, was different. The two women thanked the dean of women for not suspending them—despite Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe’s directive to do so.1]
