Abstract
The New University Conference was a
national, radical organization that was active on the Indiana University campus from
1968-1971. The leftist group was made up of graduate students and faculty members
who were involved in causes such as educational reforms, women's liberation,
anti-war, and more. The local Bloomington group was dedicated to exposing problems
on the Indiana University campus, especially regarding those issues specifically
connected to the national organization's overarching causes. The collection consist
of records created by both the National organization and local Bloomington chapter
of the New University Conference.
Access Restrictions
Collection is open for research. Advance notice required.
Administrative History
According to information gleaned from the collection, the New University Conference
was active on the Indiana University campus from 1968 to 1971. Membership was
restricted to graduate students and faculty members. The Bloomington group was just
one chapter of a national group, based in Chicago, which had chapters on various
college campuses throughout the United States. The group was active in a variety of
causes and organized a number of events and campaigns to make their presence known
on campus, such as a mock election for the Bloomington Chancellor to hosting a
literature table where students could procure literature on the topics important to
the NUC.
Arrangement
The Collection is organized into two series: National organization records and
Bloomington chapter records.
Scope and Content Note
This collection is organized into two series: National organization records and the
Bloomington chapter records.
The first series consists of newsletters from the National organization as well as
information about the organization's meetings and conferences. These help to get a
sense of what the whole organization supported and what other schools' chapters
did.
The second series contains the local Bloomington chapter's records. These include a
wide variety of records that illustrate how the chapter tried to enact the changes
the New University Conference supported and include newspaper articles, newsletters,
proposals, letters, meeting agendas, and group promotional materials. The newspaper
articles mainly focus on the campus wide Chancellor mock election organized by the
New University Conference.
