More Context

At Princeton the crescendo of student activism occurred in 1970, as it did on other campuses around the nation. While the morality of the US war in Vietnam sparked campus protests, the actions of the University—from the role of the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) to the University’s affiliation with the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA)—prompted students to pursue change on campus as well. Beginning in the fall of 1967, the local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) led numerous student and faculty demonstrations to demand that the University sever its ties with the IDA, a research division of the Department of Defense, then located on Prospect Avenue. (Now called the Center for Communications Research, it is located elsewhere in town.)
