Papers, 1970-1971.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34163220

The collection includes items relating to both Professor Martin K Nurmi's teaching activities at Kent State University and to his non-teaching activities with the University's Faculty Senate. When the University was closed by a court injunction after the May 4, 1970 shootings on campus, Dr. Nurmi corresponded with his students several times during May and June, 1970, and he held some review sessions in his home to enable his students to complete their course work. The other major series in this collection relates to Nurmi's activities with the Faculty Senate. Of particular interest to researchers are the papers relating to the faculty observers program held in May, 1971; these include a phone log kept by one of the information centers established during the first remembrance of the shootings.
