UW President Raymond B. Allen letter to Roy W. McDonald concerning a discontinuance with Ralph Gundlach, February 21, 1949
Document related to the Canwell Committee hearings.
In this letter Dr. Raymond B. Allen, President of the University of Washington, writes to Roy W. McDonald, an attorney, concerning the libel suit that Professor Ralph Gundlach had filed against him. Allen writes “My feeling is that I should like to have you approach Professor Gundlach’s attorneys about the matter and request a discontinuance. I say this because I am sure that any procedure followed in the New York action could be of no significance in connection with the American Association of University Professors.”Raymond B. Allen received his Ph.D. and MD from University of Minnesota. He became President of the University of Washington in 1946 until 1951. While President of the University of Washington he dealt with the Un-American Activities Committee and subsequently dismissed three professors for their affiliation with the Communist Party. He served as the first Chancellor of University of California, Los Angeles from 1951 to 1959.
Roy W. McDonald was an attorney for the law firm Donovan Leisure Newton Lumbard and Irvine.
The Interim Committee on Un-American Activities (Canwell Committee) operated from 1947-1949. It was a special exploratory committee of the Washington State Legislature which investigated the influence of the Communist Party in Washington State, most notably at the University of Washington. During the years the committee was active it subpoenaed and took to trial 12 of the University’s professors, three of whom were dismissed from the university for having Communist affiliations and three of whom were put on probation for years after the incident occurred
