About the logo

The Californians for Academic Freedom logo uses the words "Academic Freedom" as they appear hand-written in pen in a copy of George R. Stewart's The Year of the Oath actually used by the Committee on Academic Freedom at Berkeley in 1950. (This copy may be found in the UC Berkeley Moffitt Library under the call number LD736.5S7.)

A scanned version of the original inscription from which this image was derived is available here; the inscription reads "Univ. Commitee on Academic Freedom. Berkeley, 1950." This text was written by an unknown member of that Committee during the original oath controversy.
