Abstract
The University Histories blog was launched by The Research Group on University History (based in the University of Manchester). It brings together a nexus of people working on university histories in the broadest context and provides a platform for discussion on the changing roles and meanings of these institutions through time, advancing the understanding of universities and their place in society. This blog post features in the category 'Students and Student Life'. It charts UK student responses after the Second World War to potential Displaced Student migration to Britain from Germany, and uses rare contemporary Student Union publications to reconstruct the so-called 'D.P. Controversy' as it played out in the University of Manchester Student Unions from 1949 to 1950.
