Abstract:

Papers of noted educator and civil libertarian Alexander Meiklejohn. The papers consist of private and professional correspondence, writings, and subject files, and cover nearly the full range of his activities and interests. The correspondence, which is chiefly incoming, includes letters from many important individuals in education and law, and representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), of which he was a founder, and the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee. Also includes letters from many former students, including a number of students of the Experimental College. Meiklejohn's speeches, articles, papers, and books are represented by manuscript drafts, notes, reviews, and clippings. The general subject files consist of notes, clippings, and printed material on a variety of topics of interest to him. Among them are loyalty oaths and academic freedom, the ACLU, and the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
