Inventory to the Records of the Office of the President (Lewis Webster Jones). Group II, Academic Freedom Cases 1942-1958

http://www2.scc.rutgers.edu/ead/uarchives/Jones2f.html

The records of the Academic Freedom series created in the Office of Rutgers president Lewis Webster Jones consists of four manuscript boxes of documents that span from 1942-1958. The earliest records document the professional histories of Professors Heimlich, Finley, and Glasser, and the latest documents concern the Board of Governors dealing with censure by the AAUP and AALS. The bulk of the material is from 1952-1953, documenting the procedures of the University in evaluation of the cases and dismissal or resignation of the professors. The records are arranged into two series.

He led the University during an enrollment boom brought by the end of World War II and the GI Bill. Rutgers was not equipped to handle the increased numbers and required expansion. The first major issue Jones dealt with was the reorganization...
