Papers relating to Herfurth's historical study of the bronze plaque celebrating academic freedom presented to the University by the Class of 1910. Correspondence with participants in the five-year controversy over the memorial includes letters from F. Ryan Duffy and other student leaders relating to their efforts to have the plaque accepted by the regents, their achievement of the goal in 1915, and the way in which presentation of the plaque was connected with progressive politics and with the issue of academic freedom raised by the visit of Emma Goldman to the campus in 1910. Copies of letters from Charles Van Hise to Lincoln Steffens, 1908-1909, and information on Steffens' role in the selection of the motto are included, as well as letters from the regents to members of the Class of 1910, a typescript of source materials collected by Herfurth on the issue, and a manuscript article entitled “Sifting and Winnowing.”
