Newspapers, 1969

The Queens College Campus Unrest Collection consists of materials ranging from 1968-1970. The bulk of the collections relates to the four-day sit-in protest of the science building on QC campus by members of the Ad Hoc Committee to End Political Suppression which resulted in the arrests of thirty-eight students and one faculty member. The collection contains correspondence, administrative papers, flyers, and newspaper articles. There's also a memoir/manuscript written by George Pierson, Dean of Students, which provides a chronological accounting of events over the 1968-1969 academic year, along with his reflections on the experience.
