Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Sterling M. McMurrin audio collection includes speeches and recorded depositions between 1960-1965.

Fletcher; this was related to the appeal of one Mr. Sinha, who was studying for a doctorate degree in political science. The charges brought against Mr. Sinha included misrepresentation to obtain University funds, as well as for plagiarism in his doctoral thesis.
