Transcription

Our policy is that black students are entitled to athletic grants-in-aid just the same as players of any other race who excel. As in the case of white athletes, we welcome black athletes at BYU provided they satisfy our entrance requirements and are willing to abide by our standards. We shall continue to try to bring them to BYU, and I emphasize, not just to exploit them as athletes as unfortunately has been done at some universities, but to give them all the advantages of an outstanding education along with the privilege of intercollegiate competition.
