Clippings, 1983-1984

This is a small collection of materials gathered by Charlotte Briggs during her time as a student at Oberlin College. The materials document student involvement in campus opposition to the Solomon Amendment. At least three students, including Briggs, left the college publicly to protest the amendment. Briggs also co-chaired committees that insisted the College provide financial assistance to students affected by the Solomon Amendment. In response to this and other pressures, the College Board of Trustees approved a program to provide alternative loans to students who chose not to comply with the Solomon Amendment in November of 1983.

The collection also contains a report that is unrelated to the Solomon Amendment, titled “Research on the Impact of a Computerized Circulation System on the Performance of a Large College Library.”
