DESCRIPTION:The Struggle for Free Speech at the City College of New York 1931-42\nBy 
 Carol Smith\n This slide/lecture of press and police surveillance 
 photographs, political cartoons, graphics, and flyers highlights student 
 and faculty activism at CCNY spawned by the Great Depression and the rise 
 of fascism in Europe. Students played a major role in creating a national 
 student movement against militarism and fascism and for free speech on 
 campus. Faculty organized into a powerful union, and won major victories 
 for its members. This activism brought repeated crackdowns by the CCNY 
 college administration.\n In 1940 New York State established the 
 Rapp-Coudert Committee to investigate “subversion” in New York City’s 
 public schools and colleges, This investigation resulted in the dismissal 
 of 50 CCNY faculty and staff, the largest academic purge in US history. The 
 techniques of interrogation developed by this committee become the model 
 for the anti-communist investigations of the 1950s.\n This presentation is 
 based on a travelling exhibit, The Struggle for Free Speech at CCNY, 
 1931-42,” and can be viewed online at\nhttp://www.vny.cuny.edu
