A SELECTION OF BOOKS AND ARTICLES ABOUT THE STUDENT MOVEMENT OF THE SIXTIES, ESPECIALLY THE STRIKE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

[Thanks to Robert Feldman for most of the older material archived at: sundial-columbia-sds . Addition suggestions by Meredith Sue Willils, Hilton Obenzinger, and others.]

Avorn, Jerry L. UP AGAINST THE IVY WALL: A HISTORY OF THE COLUMBIA CRISIS, New York: Atheneum, 1969. Avorn was an editor of Spectator, and had others at the paper aid him in writing this. Very thorough, but with some errors of off-campus names and events.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE TODAY, "Six Weeks that Shook Morningside", Vol XV, No. 3 (Spring 1968). A quasi-official view from Columbia. Less detailed than most of the others listed here.

COLUMBIA DAILY SPECTATOR, Vol. CXII, Nos. 101-113 (April 24-May 10, 1968) Reprinted as a Supplement, much overlapping the Avorn piece above. Supplement's title is "Crisis at Columbia", not to be confused with the following:

The Cox Commission Report, CRISIS AT COLUMBIA: REPORT OF THE FACT FINDING COMMISSION APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE THE DISTURBANCES AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. New York: Vintage Books, 1968.

F. W. Dupee, “The Uprising at Columbia", New York Review of Books, Vol. XI, No. 5 (September 26, 1968), pp 20 ff.

Grant, Joanne, CONFRONTATION ON CAMPUS: THE COLUMBIA PATTERN FOR THE NEW PROTEST, New York: Signet Books, 1969. Scattered factual errors such as three arrested when six were, and calling the Columbia owned apartment building on 114 Street a hotel on 112 Street, but an interesting take by a total outsider.
