	Series: 8: Campus Division File, 1939-1965 Note: Specify series number when requesting boxes. Physical Description: 34 boxes and 19 reels of microfilm (35 mm) Biographical / Historical Before its affiliation with the ADA, the student branch of the Americans for Democratic Action was known as the United States Student Assembly. The USSA had been formed so that American students could study the most pressing problems of both national and international importance and then act on their decisions in cooperation with progressive forces in the college communities. In 1946 the USSA joined with ADA (then called the Union for Democratic Action) and became the Students for Democratic Action (SDA). The initial purpose of the SDA was to maintain its independent national structure, hold conventions to elect officers, and adopt a program. In 1959, the SDA undertook a program to renovate and revitalize itself. In the process it changed its name to the Campus Division, ADA (CADA). Scope and Content Note The Campus Division File is divided into two alphabetically arranged sections: the SDA files (1946-1958), and the CADA files (1959-1965). There is little significance in this division beyond the change of name in the organization. The SDA section is arranged alphabetically by folder title and contains files for subjects, organizations, and projects. Most folders contain some chronologically arranged correspondence, but are composed primarily of printed material. There are folders relating to the various college and university chapters; and to SDA internal organizational and administrative correspondence, memoranda, and minutes. The SDA chapter files have been chronologically combined under the title of the relevant state, with the names of the various institutions represented listed on the folder. In some cases the larger chapter files have been maintained separately. The same arrangment also applies to the CADA section. Some of the more voluminous and significant folders in this series include the files on general civil rights issues and specific civil rights organizations, conscription, right wing youth organizations, socialist youth groups, and the United States National Student Association. Files also deal with the SDA national conventions and the programs and resolutions that developed from them.
