Black and white photographs of Moratorium, a two-day suspension of classes to allow for College-wide discussion of student grievances over the Vietnam War, race relations, College governance, and coeducation. Photographed are students, faculty, staff, trustees, photographers, and videographers. Events photographed are in various locations including outside the front of Robert Frost Library, in the Main Quadrangle (also known as the first-year quad), outside of Arms Music Center, and in front of Converse Hall. Individuals photographed may include Oliver Boutwell Merrill, Eugene S. Wilson (Amherst College Dean of Admissions, 1946-1972), and Leo Marx. These photographs were taken by the College Photographer for the Office of Public Affairs (now the Office of Communications). Jim Gerhard was the College Photographer from the mid-1960s to 1971.
