We the undersigned Black women of Bryn Mawr College
find it impossible to tolerate the present conditions
of this campus, and therefore voice our dissatisfaction
in the following demands:

1. We demand the fourth appointment in Sociology as
promised by September, 1970. This appointment should
be a Black professor.

2. We demand the appointment of a Black professor
in English and the reappointment of Mr. Herbert
Aptheker in History.

3. We demand an active search for Black professors
to fill vacancies in other departments—Biology,
Psychology, and Economics.

4. We demand an African American house. This house
will be a cultural center, housing the Black Library,
and a meeting place for business and social functions.
We suggest the present Spanish House for this purpose.

5. We demand Bryn Mawr’s support in (facilities and
faculty) a Summer Pre-Enrollment Program starting
summer 1970. We also demand that Bryn Mawr should
supply funds in the event that outside funds are not
sufficient.

6. We demand that there be a diligent effort to increase
the Black enrollment and to provide funding for intensive
recruitment program to find qualified applicants.

7. We demand that African languages and literature
satisfy major requirements (language, literature, and/or
major) and that transportation allowances be provided
for these courses and other courses that have to be
taken outside of the Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore
community. We demand that these languages be introduced
into the Bryn Mawr curriculum by September 1971.

8. We demand increased Black employment i.e. Black
secretaries, librarians, bookshop clerks, etc. We
want a progress report on May 1, 1970.

9. We demand the address of the maids and porters by
respectful titles i.e. Mr., Mrs., Miss. We want this
done by Administrative memorandum.

10. We demand the total revamping of the educational
structure of Bryn Mawr College through student and
faculty participation in college decisions.
