Norman Strax affair

  • CA PANB MC373
  • Collection
  • 1968-1969

This collection consists of two parts. One folder contains collected press clippings and newspaper articles published about the case in the local newspapers of New Brunswick during the period 1968-1969. It consists mostly of letters to the editor in support of Professor Norman Strax and articles that followed the course of the case, from its inception to the student occupation of his office in support of his fight to be reinstated. Further letters to the editor record the position of the student groups fighting the University executive and council on the issue of identification cards and the power to censure professors for the free expression of ideas and public support of the students' position.

The second part is a bound volume of the 1968-1969 editions of the MacKenzie House, University of New Brunswick, fraternity house newsletter, "The Stag", and its reports on the Norman Strax affair. In addition there are numerous internal memos and letters from the University administration and the student groups involved in the case. As well, there are copies of reports and public statements of position from the Student Defense Society (SDS).

Strax, Norman
