{"value"=>"<p>Files relating to the university-wide concept begin in 1970 with correspondence with president Nathan Pusey and members of the committee he appointed to develop the Institute. The 1970-71 correspondence includes letters from Edmund W. Gordon of Columbia University's Teachers College, George Murphy of the <em render=\"underline\">Afro-American</em> newspaper, and from faculty members within the Afro-American Studies Department asserting that the university-wide concept would inevitably overshadow the department in funding and academic relevance. A file labeled \"Reaction to the First Year Report of AASD\" includes an extensive memorandum from Myles Lynk on what kind of relationship ought to exist between the Institute and the department, with additional communications from Wesley Profit and professor Zeph Stewart. This is followed by a compilation of newspaper and magazine stories about the first year report, the report of the Review Committee and the first three years report of AASD, as they relate to the DuBois Institute.</p>"}
