Midpeninsula Free University
The Midpeninsula Free University (MFU) was one of the largest and most successful of the many free universities that sprang up on and around college campuses in the mid-1960s in the wake of the Free Speech Movement at UC-Berkeley and the nationwide anti-war Teach-ins which followed.〔Draves,'' The Free University'', Chapter 5〕 Like other free universities, it featured an open curriculum—anyone who paid the nominal membership fee ($10) could offer a course in anything—marxism, pacifism, candle making, computers, encounter, dance, literature, walking in the woods, whatever.〔Wolpman, ''Alive in the 60's'', Topics: "What was taught?" "How much did it cost?" ()〕 Courses were publicized in illustrated catalogs, issued quarterly and widely distributed.〔(See for example, Spring 1969 MFU Catalog )〕 It had no campus; classes were taught in homes and storefronts. Its magazine-style, illustrated newsletter, ''The Free You'', published articles, features, fiction, poetry, and reviews contributed by both members and nonmembers.〔(See for example, ''The Free You'', Vol. 3, No.12, October 1969 )〕 The MFU sponsored, Be-Ins, street concerts, a restaurant, a store, and was actively involved in every aspect of the flourishing counterculture on the Midpeninsula, including the anti-war movement at Stanford.〔''Alive in the 60's'', Introduction ()〕〔(Fall 1968 MFU Catalog, pp. 53-57 )〕
==Aims and goals==
Its original Preamble focused on the criticism of education found in SDS's Port Huron Statement.〔SDS Regional Newsletter, Mar. 8, 1966, Vol. 1, no. 8 () Winter 1966 MFU Catalog ()〕 Later, as its courses and interests expanded to include the full range of 1960s counterculture—especially the burgeoning human potential movement—the MFU adopted a revised Preamble reflecting a more expansive vision〔(Winter 1968 MFU Catalog, p. 2 )〕—a document which one commentator characterized as "a compelling and almost classical manifesto" of the aspirations of 1960s counterculture.〔Knight, ''Street of Dreams'', pp. 128-129 〕
In so far as the MFU had a concrete political philosophy, it was the belief that the counterculture harbored the potential for a new politics—open, more humane, and more creative—one that could lead to a true community and a better society. Realizing that potential would require a radical transformation of personal and interpersonal relationships. Eventually the MFU came to focus on the encounter group and the psychodrama as the primary vehicle for that transformation.〔''Alive in the 60's'', Topic: "Tensions within and without" ()〕
