The page presentation framework of the Booker T. Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

MARCH · I 895 To Susan B. Bransford [Tuskegee, Ala.] Mar 7, 95 Miss Bransford: Lydia Robinson' claims that she is wrongfully accused of making noise and consequently is being wrongfully punished. I do not write about this as ~ know that many of the students claim that they are wrongfully punished when it is not true. What ~ speak of is this: This air! claims that she has been refused by you any opportunity to make a statement of her case. She says that you refuse to hear any statement from her and ''shut the door'' in her face. If this last statement of this girl is true, she should be treated differently. Of course I do not say that any of the girls statements are true. But in case her latter statement is true care should be taken to see that girls are not treated in this way. The most humble and the worst girl should be given a chance to make a statement of any side of her case. ~ never refuse any student even though I know the student is guilty, the opportunity to sit down in my office and make a statement of his side of any case. In no other way can we hold the respect and confidence of the students. Booker T. Washington ALpS Con. ~3 BTW Papers DLC.
