Biographical/Historical Note:

A. Blair Helman, Manchester College President Emeritus, served as president from 1956-1986.

From v. 1 no.4 of Gadfly: "We the editors and writers of this paper are active student leaders...therefore we take it upon ourselves to open a new channel of communication on the Manchester Campus. Other channels are open...but these channels are restricted by procedure and burdened by triviality.  We propose as a newspaper to fight the following:  1. The continuation of student apathy...2.  The continuation of student ignorance...3.  The continuation of hypocrisy between policy and reality within our community.  4.  The continuation of undemocratic authority within our community."

Scope and Content Note: V.1, no. 4 slipped under President Helman's door on 21 May 1968.
