THE GREAT INVESTIGATION University of Chicago 1949 by The All-campus Committee
THE GREAT INVESTIGATION - 1949 (Possibly printed in 1950). An account of the Investigation of the University of Chicago by the State Seditious Activity Investigation Commission in the Spring of 1949, and including the complete testimony of Chancellor Hutchins and Dean Thompson of Rockefeller Chapel.

The All-Campus Committee Opposing the Broyles Bills and the Broyles Investigation. It's amazing this even exists. There was a small group of students that formed a committee opposing the Broyles Bills and Broyles Investigation happening at the University of Chicago in 1949 and they grouped together to put the full transcripts from the case out there for fellow students to read, as well as a summary of the case and reasons to opposed.

They published it in this 73 page manifesto staple bound and distributed on campus in 1950. I can only find 3 other copies in existence, all at the University of Chicago in a few different library archives. Otherwise they are digitally available across various internet library archives. This may be one of the only left in existence that is authentic and printed by the committee of students in 1949 (or possibly 1950). Some light and dust fading front and back, as well as rust on the staples from humidity/moisture in the basement where it was stored.

Otherwise an almost untouched copy. Discolored pages but no writing, no marks, no tears, no rips, no pages missing. Background on Broyle's Bill. In 1947 State Senator Paul Broyles R.

Mount Vernon called for a commission to investigate communism in Illinois. According to Broyles, The increasing menace of communism is now widely recognized and we must take steps to keep un-Americanism under control. " The legislature created the Seditious Activities Investigation Commission, or Broyles Commission, and in 1949 it requested a series of measures to rid Illinois of communists, including requiring "non-Communist oaths from public employees, making the support of communism a felony, and prohibiting communists from holding office. The Illinois investigations occurred in a time of increasing frenzy over communist infiltration into public life.

Matthews, a special consultant to the Broyles Commission, went on to be the staff director for Senator Joseph McCarthy's investigations. The inquiries lasted into well into the 1950s, with Broyles mainly targeting the University of Chicago and Roosevelt College. Students and professors from the University of Illinois lobbied against the "Broyles Bills, " charging that they restricted academic freedom.
