Professor D. Nelms
Chairman, Title IX Committee
Dear Professor Nelms:
Since 1971 five men and one woman have graduated with chemical physics majors at Centre. We have examined these statistics, realized that the sample is small, and have found no occurences of sexual discrimination to account for the figures. We are continuing to encourage members of both sex to major
in chemical physics and judge that the statistics are a result of other trends which are mostly beyond the control of the department.
Sincerely yours,
Marshall Wilt

TO: Professor Nelms
FROM: Otis K. Wolfe, Jr., Chairman, Physics Program Committee
SUBJECT: Title IX Considerations
The physics program is one in which any qualified student
is welcomed to select. No member of this program committee
is prejudiced against either sex. While any qualified student
with an interest or possibility of interest in physics is welcomed
to major in physics, this committee has no intention of jeopardizing the future of any student by introducing insincere means of recruitment for the sake of numbers.

Memorandum to
Dr. Dorothy Nelms, Chairman
Title IX Committee
May 8, 1976
None of the members of the Biology Program Conunittee is dismayed by the fact that twice as many men as women have majored in Biology since 1962. I might add that the ratio of rising senior biology majors is 19 to 11, and of rising juniors 13 to 13.
We all believe that in our contacts with students considerable
encouragement is given to women as well as to men to consider all options such as, for example, veterinary medicine and dentistry - professions which until recently were male-dominated in this country.
So, without undue smugness we feel reasonably guiltless of
discrimination based on sex.
