Teaching With Documents:
The Don Henry Story
Sacrifice for Spain Poster
This poster notified students of a noontime rally at the
student union. Two professors from the University of Kansas spoke at the rally,
appealing to the students to support the Loyalist government in Spain. Questions
were raised about whether campus politics influenced students to support the
cause of the Loyalist government in Spain. After Henry's death, the committee
appointed by the Board of Regents to investigate campus activities observed that
"with a person possessing the brilliance of John Ise championing their cause
and no person of equal prominence or ability presenting the other side of the
question it is understandable why the young might have been influenced."
