Wisconsin Historical Society (Map)
Records of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a national organization of
students founded in 1960 that provided much of the force and direction for the New Left
during the 1960s. Three boxes relate to SDS during its initial growth, 1958-1962, and
contain national convention papers (including the Port Huron Statement); files on the League
for Industrial Democracy and the Student League for Industrial Democracy from which SDS
developed, projects, and related organizations; and correspondence of early leaders Al Haber
and Tom Hayden. Thirty boxes date from the fall of 1962 to August 1965, the period when SDS
still considered reform possible and when it maintained four separate national offices: the
administrative national office and the offices of the Economic Research and Action Project,
the Peace Research and Education Project, and the Political Education Project. National
office records include voluminous correspondence of leaders such as Todd Gitlin, Paul
Potter, and Clark Kissinger, reports, minutes, membership lists, pamphlets, registration
forms, newsletters, clippings, and check stubs. These records relate to conventions and
meetings, projects involving the anti-war movement and South Africa, publications, and
intra-organization matters and relations with local chapters and other organizations. ERAP,
which was headed by Rennie Davis, sought to organize a radical political movement among the
poor. This section includes files on meetings, publications, and projects such as its
extensive work among the poor in Chicago. PREP, which served as a clearinghouse and
publisher for research on peace, disarmament, and foreign policy, is documented by
correspondence, leaflets, manuscripts, newsletters, prospectuses, reports, and files on
Boston PREP. One-half box of correspondence, memos, minutes, leaflets, prospectuses, and
reports document PEP's efforts to push national electoral politics leftward in 1964. The
third series consists of 23 boxes regarding the operations of the national office from late
1964 to 1970 when SDS became increasingly action-oriented, violent, and fractious,
ultimately dividing into Progressive Labor, Weathermen, and Revolutionary Youth Movement.
Included are correspondence (containing many references to Paul Booth and Bernadine Dohrn);
minutes, notes, resolutions, and further correspondence of the national conventions and
meetings; office files; project and subject files; reference files; and material concerning
local chapters and related groups. Also part of the manuscript collection, but not available
with the microfilm edition, are 24 tape recordings of SDS conferences, conventions,
meetings, and speeches; the April 17, 1965, March on Washington; and the 1966 National
Conference for New Politics Electoral Campaign Institute.

Biography/History
The origins of SDS go back to the 1905 founding of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society,
renamed the League for Industrial Democracy (LID) in 1920. LID stressed the introduction of
socialist thought on college campuses through tours by speakers like Jack London, Harry
Laidler, and Norman Thomas; and through the publication and distribution of socialist
literature. From its beginnings, LID also organized affiliated student groups which carried
on educational programs. In the 1920s and early 1930s, students participated in LID through
the Student League for Industrial Democracy (SLID), which had partial autonomy from LID.
During the period 1936-1939, SLID ignored the admonitions of LID and joined with the
Communist youth group, the National Student League, to form the American Student Union.
Throughout much of its history, SLID also maintained close ties with the Young Peoples'
Socialist League (YPSL), the youth arm of the Socialist Party.
The SLID which emerged after World War II had closer supervision from LID; Communists and
other radical-socialists were excluded. During the 1950s, SLID suffered a decline in numbers
common to many liberal and radical student groups; by the middle of the decade, it had a few
hundred, mostly inactive, members. It would have surely collapsed completely if not for
money from LID and the efforts of a few stalwart supporters like James Farmer, later a
leader of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), who as LID's student secretary in the
early 1950s aided SLID.
During the 1950s, LID and SLID turned away from explicitly socialist politics. LID became
dependent on American labor unions for funding, much of which was earmarked for campus
educational programs that were designed to gain student support for unions and for
progressive measures advocated by labor leaders and liberal politicians. This program,
however, had little impact on the campuses.
At its annual national meeting in 1960, SLID changed its name to the Students for a
Democratic Society, and began to organize a movement whose purpose was to meaningfully
involve people in the political, social, and economic issues that affected their lives. The
main impetus for change came that year when Robert (Al) Haber became SDS's president. Haber
in the spring of 1960 organized a conference at the University of Michigan which was
attended by representatives of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), James
Farmer of CORE, and the Catholic-socialist Michael Harrington. This conference began SDS's
long association with SNCC and at it were recruited some of the persons who came to lead SDS
in the period 1961-1966. Yet SDS remained practically non-existent during the 1960-1961
school year.
In the fall of 1961, Paul Potter and Tom Hayden, both future presidents of SDS, went South
to participate in the burgeoning civil rights movement. Both were beaten by white mobs and
returned to the North determined to organize further assaults upon racism. In June of 1962
at SDS's National Convention in Port Huron, Michigan, Hayden presented a draft of a
statement of the values, beliefs, and conclusions of the New Left. This classic, The Port Huron Statement, criticized the hollowness of the
American dream and enunciated many of the fundamental beliefs held by SDS during the
1960s.
Throughout the 1960-1962 period, there existed continuous tension between SDS and LID. The
League paid staff salaries and provided office facilities for SDS, but became increasingly
disenchanted with the leftist direction of its junior organization. The members of both
organizations increasingly realized that their ways were parting.
The school year of 1962-1963 found SDS involved in supporting civil rights activities in
the South, pushing for a halt to nuclear testing, and organizing student chapters. Richard
Flacks directed a Peace Research and Education Project (PREP), organized during the fall of
1962, which served as a clearinghouse and publishing center for research about peace,
disarmament, and foreign policy. PREP remained basically a one-man affair from the fall of
1962 through the fall of 1964, when Flacks resigned as director and Todd Gitlin and Paul
Booth assumed charge. Funded by a $7500 grant by a wealthy Texas liberal, Joe Weingarten,
Gitlin and Booth pursued an aggressive program of campus speaking trips which stimulated the
founding of SDS chapters. PREP also continued its research activities, concentrating on the
conversion of the economy to peace-oriented production, American imperialism, and the
military draft. Actual work on converting the economy to peace-time uses was only effective
in the Boston area, where PREP assumed a role similar to the Economic Research and Action
Project (ERAP) and assimilated the latter's local group.
During the summer of 1963, SDS obtained a grant of $5000 from the United Auto Workers. With
part of this money, they established ERAP. From engaging in research into poverty, ERAP
sought during 1964-1965 to build a radical political movement of the impoverished. People
from neighborhoods would be organized on issues like better schools or garbage removal, and
through their struggle learn how power operates in our society. This program, led by Rennie
Davis, broadened the insights of ERAP workers but failed to either alter the condition of
the poor or to organize them.
During the 1963-1964 academic year, there was considerable debate over the direction of
SDS; to organize the disenfranchised and exploited, or to organize students. This division
could be seen in the diverse programs of SDS which ranged from ERAP's work in the slums to
the Political Education Project's (PEP) distribution of buttons with the slogan “Part
of the way with LBJ.” The establishment of PEP had been mandated by the delegates at
the June 1964 National Convention. Lead by Steve Max and Jim Williams, it sought to push
national electoral politics to the left. Towards this end, PEP distributed anti-Goldwater
literature for the Industrial Union Department of the AFL-CIO, which had given it $1300. The
Johnson landslide victory and subsequent escalation in Vietnam proved to be PEP's undoing.
The December 1964 National Council scrapped most of PEP's tentative programs and left it to
fade into oblivion during 1965.
In the academic year of 1964-1965, SDS had twenty-seven chapters in the U.S. and about two
thousand dues-paying members. It published a monthly Discussion
Bulletin for the membership and sent out a weekly worklist to about two hundred
activists and chapter contacts. Having directed its major efforts towards community
organizing, SDS was surprised at the development of two new issues which came to overshadow
the poverty question: the Vietnamese War and the issue of student power as exemplified in
the Berkeley Free Speech Movement. Though unprepared, SDS lent support to the latter
struggle but was less willing to become actively involved in the anti-war movement. This was
due to a fear of becoming a “one issue organization” and a belief by its members
that the internal structure of America had to be radically altered in order to prevent
imperialism. At the December 1964 National Council meeting, a proposal to organize an
anti-war demonstration the following spring passed only after heated debate. This National
Council also started an action-education program directed -by PREP against American economic
imperialism in South Africa; this produced a torrent of literature and sparked the March
1965 Chase Manhattan Bank protest, at which SDS members were arrested for the first
time.
The April 17, 1965 March on Washington also proved to be a great success and made SDS
recognized as one of the primary organizations of the New Left. That spring the National
Office moved from New York to Chicago, symbolizing both the parting of ways between SDS and
LID, and a shift of the organization from being basically East Coast-oriented to one which
included the entire U.S.
The June 1965 National Convention, held at Kewadin, Michigan, proved to be a transition for
SDS. The convention re-affirmed SDS's commitment to the organization of local power bases
and to a multi-issue style of radicalism. It consciously rejected leadership of the anti-war
movement at a time when many expected SDS to sponsor more massive anti-war demonstrations as
well as militant draft resistance, and following the Kewadin convention, SDS had neither the
organizational structure nor the commitment to lead the swelling anti-war movement.
Leadership passed from Eastern radicals with longer experience in leftist movements to
Midwesterners with neither radical nor organizational experience. These new leaders
concerned themselves more with action than with theory and had only a vague idea of the
complex divisions in the American Left. In the National Office this encouraged a general
breakdown, which was only partially alleviated by bringing in Clark Kissinger and Paul Booth
to serve as temporary National Secretaries. Throughout this chaotic period, New Left Notes played an important unifying role by printing many
of SDS's position statements, local news, and numerous letters to the editor by leftists of
every stripe.
In spite of or perhaps because of its disorganization, SDS continued to exert an immense
leftward influence on the anti-war and student movements. It started to attract members from
the Maoist-orientated May 2nd Movement, a youth organization of the Progressive Labor Party.
SDS's Radical Education Project (REP) produced a series of documents exposing the complicity
of academia with the military-industrial complex. The April 1965 National Council Meeting
commissioned REP to undertake analytical research similar to that of the defunct PREP as
well as to strengthen internal education and communication. This group enlisted many of the
“old guard” like Al Haber, Paul Booth, and Steve Weissman. In 1966, REP was
incorporated separately; by the following year it had broken with SDS over the issue of
whether it should train organizers or, as REP preferred, continue its research efforts.
SDS's influence could also be gauged by the students' shift frs' shift from protest to
resistance during 1967 and the crescendo of violence connected with student protests.
Although SDS had a relatively mild national anti-war policy and had opposed the October 1967
March on the Pentagon, local SDS chapters and members came to lead militant student
protests. These confrontations, in turn, convinced some SDS members that the accepted
methods of protest were ineffective and that an insurgent, student-based movement had to be
developed. Drawing upon the flourishing youth culture as well as the militancy of black
radicals, SDS leaders like Mark Rudd and Bernardine Dohrn became convinced of the absolute
necessity of active resistance to establishment repression by any means possible. This
attitude became a harbinger of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM I).
During 1968, SDS experienced increasing factionalism caused by Progressive Labor (PL)
members who were Maoist-doctrinaires and stressed an alliance with the working class; and
the RYM I group who advocated a more student-oriented, militant, counter-cultural program.
SDS remained, however, in the center of student protests like the Columbia University strike
of spring 1968 and the violence at the Democratic National Convention that summer in
Chicago. The June 1968 SDS National Convention saw acrimonious shouting matches, ideological
bickering, and bitter personality clashes. PL supporters gained policy victories that
stressed attempts to gain working-class support, but RYM I and other non-committed delegates
continued to dominate the organization's leadership positions.
SDS found itself harrassed from without and fragmented from within during the 1968-1969
school year. These pressures surfaced with a vengeance at the June 1969 National Convention
at which SDS split into approximately three factions: PL, Weathermen, and RYM II. This
latter group, composed of diverse, moderate SDSers, collapsed within a year due to its
inability to develop a coherent, activist program. The Weathermen, who included many of the
national leaders and staff members, sought to initiate an immediate revolution; within six
months, the organization had gone underground and its leaders were wanted in connection with
mob violence and bombing. SDS-PL continues today as an off-shoot of the Progressive Labor
Party; dominated by a doctrinaire ideology, which, for example, condemned Ho Chi Minh for
receiving aid from the USSR, this organization has had little appeal on campus. And so SDS,
after being at the forefront of the New Left during the 1960s, dissolved into factions of
bickering ideologues and violence-oriented cadres.
Much of this information came from a history of SDS prepared by Clark Kissinger, circa
1965; from Kirkpatrick Sale's book, SDS (New York: Random
House, 1973); and from an interview with Patrick M. Quinn, formerly of the State Historical
Society staff, May 16, 1974.

Part 1 (Mss 177, Audio 517A, Micro 655): Original Collection,
1958-1970: Records available on ProQuest History Vault. 22.2 cubic feet (57 archives boxes), 24 tape recordings, and 41 reels of
microfilm (35 mm) The records for the Students for a Democratic Society, 1958-1970, consist of 57 boxes
of various types of paper documentation as well as 24 tape recordings. These give a
fragmentary but extremely revealing picture of one of the major radical organizations of
the decade of the 1960s. (The microfilm in Archives' custody is a security copy only; a
user copy is owned by the Historical Society Library.) These records are incomplete and confusingly arranged for a variety of reasons. The
organizational structure of SDS was such that few people remained in the national
offices long enough to provide for continuity of record-keeping. In the period from
mid-1962 until mid-1965, SDS maintained four separate national offices -- the National
Office itself (which served as the administrative hub of the organization), and the
national offices of ERAP, PREP, and PEP; when these various offices were consolidated,
many files were abandoned, lost en route, or deliberately destroyed. And from 1966 to
1973, the records now in this collection came to the State Historical Society of
Wisconsin in ten installments from four donors. The various national office files have
been augmented by the records of individuals prominent in SDS and of local chapters and
projects; this was done by the Society after acquiring the collection or by the national
offices prior to the acquisition. These SDS archives have been arranged into three chronological series of paper records
and one series of tape recordings. The first series documents the period from January
1958 to August 1962 when SDS's National Office in New York City was first emerging from
LID's shadow and developing its own programs and organization. Series 2 reflects the
confusing period from the fall of 1962 until August 1965 when SDS dedicated itself to
reforming U.S. society, primarily by developing community action programs to revitalize
grassroots democracy. This, the most fully documented of the series, is broken down into
four sections -- Subseries 2A, the files of the National Office in Chicago; Subseries
2B, files of ERAP; Subseries 2C, files of PREP; and Subseries 2D, files of PEP. Series 3
concerns the period September 1965 until 1970 during which time the National Office was
recentralized in Chicago and SDS finally broke apart under the strain of its increasing
factionalism and revolutionary orientation. Patrick M. Quinn of the Society's
Manuscripts staff and radical historian James O'Brien determined this arrangement as the
most nearly accurate reflection of how the national offices probably kept their records.
A more lengthy and detailed description of each series precedes the contents list for
that series. There is some overlap among the series and much within the sub-series. For instance,
many letters in the correspondence sub-series have attached related documents
(pamphlets, reports, speeches, notes, etc.) necessary to understanding the sense of the
letter. And many letters that relate to the project and publication files are arranged
with the general correspondence. As is unfortunately common in the files of radical groups, the financial and membership
records are quite spotty. However, the material on chapters and local groups, and on
related organizations is quite extensive, though not always of high informational
quality; exceptions are the files of particularly active chapters such as that of the
University of Wisconsin and of such related groups as the United Auto Workers and the
Berkeley Free Speech Movement. Of the factions that finally split SDS apart, the
Weathermen are the most heavily documented, especially Bernardine Dohrn; but there is
little concerning RYM I and II, and even less concerning the PL forces. To supplement the information in this collection, the researcher is advised to consult
the Society's collections of other individuals and groups in the leftist, labor, civil
rights, and anti-war movements and the file of Social Action ephemera of the 1960s.
Tape-recorded interviews with Patrick M. Quinn give more information about the
acquisition of these records and their condition at the time of acquisition. And the
Society's Library has a nearly complete file of SDS publications, perhaps the most
complete in the United States. The following list includes correspondents identified as to the major position they
held at the time of the correspondence or the organization with which they were mainly
associated. Numbers after the names indicate the series in which the bulk of their
correspondence is located. Correspondent | Series or Subseries | Gar Alperovitz, aide, Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) | 2B, 2C | Stanley Aronowitz, chairman, Committee for Miners | 2B, 2C, 3 | P.F.

Series: 1: National Office, 1958 January-1962 AugustThe 3 boxes of material in this series relate to various aspects of SDS during its
initial period of growth, 1958-1962. There are papers from national conventions and
meetings, the Student League for Industrial Democracy (SLID) and the League for
Industrial Democracy (LID), SDS officers' correspondence and statements, project
files, and material from related groups. The convention papers include correspondence; conference papers; lists of
participants; notes; and reports pertaining to civil rights, anti-war activities,
foreign policy, and recruitment. There are correspondence, notes, proposals, and
statements referring to LID's relationship to and control over SLID and SDS. The SDS
officers' correspondence and statements concern civil rights and anti-war activities,
intra-organizational matters, and membership drives. The project files include

Series: 2: Records, 1962 Fall-1965 August : The 12 boxes of material in Series 2 generally dates from the fall of 1962 to August
1965, although there is some overlap with the other series. This material documents
the period when SDS still considered reform of the U.S. system possible and maintained
four separate national offices: the National Office (the administrative hub of the
organization) and the offices of the Economic Research and Action Project, of the
Peace Research and Education Project, and of the Political Education Project. The ERAP
and Boston PREP files are remarkably complete. The records of each of these offices
has been arranged in separate sections within this series.

|
Subseries: 2A: National Office, 1962-1965; undatedIncluded are a voluminous amount of correspondence as well as reports, minutes,
literature requests, membership lists, registration forms, pamphlets, newsletters,
clippings, and check stubs. These papers relate to SDS conventions and national
councils, National Office staff and other intra-organizational matters, projects,
chapters, and other organizations, 1962-1965. This subseries is arranged in seven
sub-categories. The convention and national council meeting papers, 1962-1965, contain
correspondence, minutes, reports, position papers, and registration forms. These are
concerned with various aspects of American radicalism: the student, civil rights,
peace, and labor movements as well as intra-organizational concerns. The correspondence refers to radical organizing, SDS matters, personal affairs, and
the civil rights, labor, and anti-war movements. The project files, 1963-1965, contain correspondence, leaflets, reports, literature
requests, clippings, and newsletters. They refer to the SDS Bulletin, anti-South African Apartheid activities including SDS's Chase
Manhattan sit-in, and anti-Vietnam war demonstrations. There are correspondence, leaflets, newsletters, clippings, reports, and literature
requests in the chapter files, that provide information on student activism
throughout the U.S. and have in some cases an abundance of data on local issues. Material pertaining to related groups includes correspondence, newsletters,
clippings, leaflets, and reports. They detail SDS's interrelationships with other
student and leftist groups. The National Office's office records include a checking account, cash receipts
journal, check stubs, literature requests, leaflets, membership lists, and
miscellaneous writings, speeches, and reports.

Subseries: 2B: The Economic Research and Action Project (ERAP) : Subseries 2B contains 14 boxes of ERAP papers relating to meetings, publications,
projects of national and local scope, office files, and related groups. The folder
on ERAP meetings, 1964, has correspondence, minutes, and notes relating to
intra-ERAP matters and community organizing. The ERAP publications, 1964-1965,
contain questionnaires, reports, and work-lists which primarily deal with ERAP
community projects and staff problems. The national ERAP projects, 1962-1965,
include information on several conferences on poverty, fundraising, legal aid,
institutes, newsletters, reports, and other miscellaneous documents. The office
files have substantial quantities of correspondence pertaining to inquiries about
SDS and ERAP as well as applications to join these two organizations. The files on
related groups consist of correspondence, clippings, handbills, and reports; these
files document the economic and political relationships between ERAP/SDS and these
other organizations, joint conferences and projects, and other topics. There is also
a folder of miscellaneous ERAP papers.

Series: 3: National Office, 1964 September-1970The 23 boxes of this series relate to the period in which SDS became increasingly
militant and violence-oriented, and finally dissolved into factionalisn. These papers
are organized into files of correspondence; national committees, conventions, and
council meetings; National Office matters; special project and subjects; related
groups; and miscellany. Much of the correspondence is from 1965 and relates to Paul
Booth. A sizeable portion of the later correspondence relates to Bernardine Dohrn, who
also apparently organized some of the project-subject files. The national committees, conventions, and councils files, 1965-1968, contain
correspondence, minutes, notes, and resolutions. There is a wide range in the extent
to which meetings are documented, with some having ample records and others none at
all. The locality files, 1964-1970, contain letters, clippings, publications, leaflets,
and reports; these often pertain to local controversies involving anti-war protests
and civil liberties. Many files include applications for affiliation and chapter
constitutions and reports, and some include assessments by the National Office as to
their level of activity circa 1966. The office files, 1965-1969, contain rosters of persons arrested during the Days of
Rage, October 8-11, 1969. These trace the progress of court cases and list when and
where persons were arrested. A card file contains names of contacts and chapters in
states alphabetically between Massachusetts and Wyoming. Financial records include
miscellaneous bank statements, check stubs, and budgets. The cash receipts journal
records the names of persons contributing to SDS and the amounts received from
them. The project-subject file, 1964-1970, includes a wide range of material:
correspondence, leaflets, clippings, manuscripts, reports, and miscellany. The
manuscripts include “The Birth of a Movement: SDS from 1960 to 1965” by C.
Clark Kissinger as well as many other articles on SDS and related subjects. One should
note that correspondence and manuscripts concerning New Left
Notes, SDS Bulletin, and Vietnam Bulletin are all located in the project-subject
file. Materials on the National Lawyers' Guild and on women appear to have been
collected by Bernardine Dohrn. The reference files include draft counselling information; material on chemical and
biological warfare; on the rights and treatment of political dissidents in the U.S.;
and files on political and student activity in various nations and areas throughout
the world. The related groups files, 1965-1969, have correspondence, leaflets,
pamphlets, newsletters, and clippings. The miscellany includes unidentified notes,
unrelated leaflets, photos of an unknown GI's diary as well as numerous leaflets and
pamphlets produced by SDS.
