CCNY President Frederick Robinson, who was inaugurated in 1927, developed an increasingly confrontational relationship with liberal students and faculty. The animosity reached a peak in 1938, when the Young Socialist League published a 16-page zine, which summarizes the main points of contention. They include the students’ anti-militarist position, the President’s attack on freedom of speech on campus and what the students’ call “the war of the umbrella,” an instance when he lost his temper and physically threatened the students with his umbrella, as relayed in the essay “The City College Cauldron” in Let My People Know. This collection also includes two flyers from 1934 promote an on-going strike within a 5-day period against Robinson. The strike was called against the expulsion of 21 activist students who protested fascism, a set of sanctions that demonstrates the problematic political stance of the president and justify the students' recurring demands for freedom of speech. The flyers contain satirical, student-made drawings of Robinson, offering us insight as to how he was viewed by many students of CCNY. This collection was co-curated by Scarlet Almanzar, Adonis Anderson, Amando Clemente, Kimberly Geraldino, and Melanie Matonte.
