Bear Mrs. Scott,Thank you for your letter of the 22nd February.As it is now too late for student Mr. J.R. van der

Merwe to enter the First Year of Study, it has been decided not to take any further action in assisting him to register in 1963.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter

Yours sincerely

iAssistant Registrar - Faculty of Medicine

The Assistant Registrar, Faculty of Medioine,University of Natal,719, Unbilo Hoad,D U B B A

Dear Dr* Coohran,The Director asked me to make enquiries

about Mr. J.R. van der Merwe, as requested in your letter of 8 February, but we can find no traoe of him. No ono of that name is known at 11 Welman Avenue, Newolare, nor has tho local minister ever heard of the family.

Would it be possible to have further information, such a3 the schools he attended, church affiliation etc? Inquiries have been made widely and can go no further without fresh inform­ation.

With kind regards.

Yours sincerely,

(Mrs.) M, Scott, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTHNT.

8th February, 1963

The Director,S.A. Institute of Race Relations, P.O. Box 97,JOHANNESBURG,Transvaal.

Dear Sir,We have a preliminary year coloured, student, Mr. J.R.

Van Der Merwe who lives at 11 Welman Avenue, Newclare, Johannesburg, whom we are wishing to help if it is possible to do so.

Mr. Van Der Merwe has completed his preliminary year of study in the Faculty of Medicine and has been promoted to the First Year. Owing tcT'the1’ fact that he is in debt to the University for tuition ard residence fees to the extent of R2i43, he has been told that he cannot attend the first year of study until this debt has been settled. It is possible that we may find some benefactor who is prepared to assist him financially, but it is essential that he must have some resources upon which he can rely if he is to take the 7 year University course. Would it be asking too much of you for you to give us a report on Mr. Van Der Merwe*s circumstances and background, to give us some idea as to what length we must go to assist him. One thing is cer­tain, he is not a brilliant student, and it is quite possible that somewhere along the line he may fail and it may take him longer than 7 years to complete his course.Any information which you can give us which may help us to make a decision concerning Mr. Van Der Merwe will be very much appreciated.

/over

U N I V E R S I T Y O F N A T A L page: 2M“ ’ ref. no. CMC/BFF 8th February, 1963

There is an element of urgency about this matter as the 2nd. year course starts at the end of this month and we would like to he in a position to make an early decision whether or not to register Mr. Van Der Merwe.

Yours faithfully,

C.McN. Cochran ASSISTANT REGISTRAR

The Vice-Principal,University of tko Witwatersrand,Milner Park,J OH A . N5S51TRG .Sear Olyn,

I have been trying to get you on the telephone for one or tiro days but you seem to he very, very engaged. I was not a matter of importance, hut I did promise Dr. Munchi to make the inquiry. He has a daughter, Miss Fazela Munohi, who is anxious to do medicine. Apparently ehe has acquired a Ministerial permit hut I understand that she has been rejected by the University already.

Dr. Munchi heard that two other Indians, Patel and Bhult, had withdrawn from the medical course and he was wondering whether his daughter, Miss I’unohi, could fill one of these places.

I promised I would make inquiries hut I did not hold out any hope. All good wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Quintin Whyte Director.

Mr. Doasho Mamabolo, P.O. Box 394»miTEBSBUBOeDear Mr. Mamabolo,

Thank you for your letter of the 20th March,1963, in reply to which I wired you thie morning.

I regret that it is quite impossible for the Institute to arrange a meeting suoh as you suggest hut, as instructed in my letter of the 12th March, you write personally to the Institute of Medical Research, Johannesburg and arrange a meeting with then. If they are interested in your discoveries, rest assured that they will get in touch with you.

Yours sincerely,

Quintin fflhyte Director.

16 th May, 1963.

Mr Quintin Whyte,Director,South African Institute of Race Relations, P.O. Box 97,Johannesburg.

Dear Quinton,At the time that I received your letter of 21st March,

1963, I tried to get you on the telephone but you seemed to be equally engaged.

I would have said that there was hardly any chance for Miss Munchi to be admitted to medical studies. The com­petition for our non-White quota is extremely severe (more than 80 applicants for 8 places) and only really distinguished appli­cants have any chance at all. I do not remember seeing Iss Munchi*s name on the reserve list but in any case I doubt whether a student would be admitted as late as the fourth week in March.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely

I. Glyn Thomas, Yice-Principal.
