    What's that sound? Political action and the New Left at Purdue University, 1968-1970
    (2017) Belser, Elizabeth A.; Kaufman-McKivigan, John R.
    This thesis argues that Purdue, a socially and politically conservative institution in an equally conservative state, provides an ideal atmosphere in which to study the inception of the New Left. The insular nature of the campus and its relative isolation from outside groups provides an opportunity to study the genesis of the movement as it progressed from local concerns to a broader focus on national and international topics.
