Auch in München stellte das Symboljahr 1968 einen tiefen Einschnitt in die Nachkriegsgeschichte dar. Neben den allgemeinen, vielfach gestellten Fragen, welche Defizite individueller, gesellschaftlicher, politischer oder wirtschaftlicher Art die Studentenrevolte motiviert haben könnten, aus welchen emotionalen und intellektuellen Quellen sie sich speiste, wie sich die vielfach verdrängte Last der NS-Vergangenheit auf das Verhältnis zwischen den Generationen auswirkte und inwiefern Entwicklungen im Ausland die Bewegung beeinflussten, wird in diesem Aufsatz der Frage nachgegangen, welche konkrete Rolle die Akademie der Bildenden Künste in den Jahren 1967 bis 1970 in München spielte.

In seinem Aufsatz beschreibt der ehemalige Rektor der Freiburger Pädagogischen Hochschule die Zeit der Studentenbewegung, die zeitlich mit seinem Rektorat zusammen fiel, wie er sie erlabt hat, und stellt die Ereignisse in den politischen und gesellschaftlichen Kontext dieser Zeit.

The League of Women Voters of Texas is a non-partisan organization that works to promote political responsibility through active informed participation of all citizens in their government. In 1919, the Texas Equal Suffrage Association evolved into the Texas League of Women Voters, and today is recognized as the League of Women Voters of Texas. Their hallmark activity is the circulation of Voters' Guides through newspapers prior to elections; locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The League's intent is dissemination of information on political candidates, and the objective promotion of "political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government." The organization's efforts, however, are by no means limited to politics, but also address issues on water, health care, hazardous wastes, education, energy, and such international concerns as the United Nations. ; The records of the League of Women Voters of Texas also reflect socio-economic changes in the United States with the active organizational membership drives of the mid to late 1970s in response to American society's evolution into a two income family. Collectively, the materials provide researchers with invaluable insight into politics and political concerns on an international, national, statewide, and local basis. ; The collection consists of materials from national, state, and local files, financial materials, photographs, and publications of the National, Texas, and local leagues, as well as other state leagues. Also included are a study of the national league, scrapbooks, memorabilia, vice-presidential program files, and printed materials. The focus of the collection is on state committees and local units. ; Highlights from the donation include the original 1919 minutes from the Texas Equal Suffrage Association authorizing the organizational conversion to the Texas League of Women Voters, films produced by the group on legislative processes, the 104th Congressional recognition given and signed by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on the 75th anniversary of the League of Women Voters of Texas, and the flag that flew over the Texas capitol on that day. ; Box 7, Folder 22
