29th Annual Archives Lecture

"It can't happen here?": Chuck Edwards and the Challenge to Limestone Liberalism at Queen's, 1968-1970

For four traumatic months in the fall of 1969 and the winter of 1970, Queen's campus was galvanized by the Edwards Affair, which plunged the university into the mainstream of Sixties student activism.

Allegations of political persecution and Mounties snooping on campus boiled over and resulted in a full-blown inquiry that obliged the whole university to look closely at the liberal values it had long cherished.

Queen's University Archives is pleased to announce this year's Annual Archives Lecture, titled "It can't happen here?": Chuck Edwards and the Challenge to Limestone Liberalism at Queen's, 1968-1970 by Dr. Duncan McDowall, Queen's University Historian.  The lecture will be held  Thursday, 20 October 2011 at 7:00 pm in Robert Sutherland Hall, Rm. 202.
