Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Richard Morse in Sydney, Australia. Pendleton is pleased that Morse plans to attend the 1928 London General Assembly, and he reports that they are expecting a large attendance. Pendleton discusses the matter of vaccination as it relates to Miss (Mora) White’s attendance at the Academy. Pendleton brought the issue before the Board of Directors, and they agreed with him that proof of vaccination is required for Academy students under the charter granted to them by the State of Pennsylvania. The Academy does not perform “bodily examination” of pupils, but instead requires a signed physician’s certificate. Pendleton writes that this system “puts the responsibility upon individuals who comply with or evade the spirit of the law as their conscience allows.” Pendleton also states his personal opinion on vaccination: “I do not think vaccination a matter of vast importance from a religious standpoint, and certainly I would not let it stand in the way of spiritual values and Church advancement. I am opposed to compulsory vaccination and wish in the name of freedom that we might have a Conscience Clause, such as England allows. But the State of Pennsylvania is not liberal in this matter.” Names mentioned: Miss (Mora (aka Martha Mornington)) White
