Richard Stephen Creed papers 1959 April-July.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/671987537

Collection documents the controversy that followed publication of Dr. Seymour J. G. Spencer's article, "Homosexuality among Oxford Undergraduates," in the Journal of Mental Science in April 1959, which received press coverage in England and the United States. The article discussed the psychiatric treatment of such students. Contains Creed's corrected copy of the reprinted article and an excerpt from the July meeting minutes for the Warneford Management committee, where faculty and staff mentioned in the article's acknowledgments expressed their outrage at the unwanted and sensational publicity. Includes Creed's letter to the author following that meeting, which questioned Spencer's research results and approach to writing, as well as Spencer's letters written in response to defend his work.
