The papers of Philip G. Hubbard revolve around his professional career as educator and administrator at the University of Iowa. While there is some mention of family, the bulk refers to his tenure as professor, and later as Dean of Students. The records span more than 60 years, from 1932 to 1997. Of particular note are the speeches of Professor Hubbard, including his support of fair housing in 1964. The collection also includes drafts and manuscripts of his public memoirs. The collection is reflective of one man's role in the emerging civil rights movement in Iowa City during the 1960s.
