Baker acting as Hearing Officers of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline regarding charges against students arising from disturbances on the Champaign-Urbana campus.

Exhibits include affidavits, photos, statements of university policy on demonstrations and correspondence relevant to the disturbances on April 21, 1970 and May 6-8, 1970. The reports contain conclusions reached as to the disturbances resulting from demonstrations against General Electric and a cancellation of a speech by William Kunstler on March 2, 1970, against ROTC and the Armory Center and Central Warehouse on May 6-8, 1970, and against Marine recruiting at the Illini Union on May 6, 1971.
The series includes copies of motions filed, photographs of students and crowds, statements of witnesses, building plans, rocks and exhibits submitted to the hearing officers for the March 2, 1970 and May 6, 1971 disturbances.
In 1937, the Faculty Senate approved a Code on Student Affairs, which stated that the Committee on Student Affairs would handle discipline.1 Faculty chairmen carried this responsibility until 1948 when the Office of Security was established.2 Working under authority of the Dean of Students Office, it was the duty of the agency "to help students in their relationships with disciplinary agencies within the University and law enforcement agencies outside the University. Members of the office staff interpret University regulations for students and refer them to appropriate agencies for advice and aid."3
On March 9, 1897, the Board of Trustees authorized employment of a policeman.4
