Record Series 393 contains documents regarding the Loyalty Oath Controversy, including a history of the collection, excerpts from Regent's meetings, University related publications, and newspaper clippings.

A special file on the loyalty oath controversy was set up in 1951 by Andrew Horn, University Archivist. Since that time printed and manuscript material has been collected dealing directly or indirectly with the University controversy. In 1968 the Caughey Project to study the history of oaths led to an organized enquiry to get petinent materials and papers of people directly involved with the controversy. The responses to the request are included in the collection under "History of Collection." Under the auspices of the same project, Jane White organized and listed the material in the collection. Jane White's list and notes on her work are also includled in the first section of the collection.
