STERLING HALL/MATH RESEARCH CENTER BOMBING FINDING AID

Introduction to the Finding Aid:

The bombing of Sterling Hall on the morning of August 24, 1970 was one of the pivotal events of the protest movements of the 1960s and 70s, as well as in the history of the University of Wisconsin’s Madison campus. Each year, researchers come to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Archives in an attempt to understand what happened on that day or the repercussions that were felt in following years. As a result, this research guide has been compiled with the aim of aiding those inquiring into the bombing. What follows constitutes a sketch of the materials to be found in the holdings of the Archives that relate to the bombing of Sterling Hall on August 24, 1970 and its aftermath. The finding aid is in no way exhaustive—nearly ever campus unit was affected and thus the bombing is discussed in many more accessions than are mentioned here. But we have endeavored to encapsulate the most pertinent parts of the archival material here.

THE STERLING HALL BOMBING Early on the morning of August 24, 1970, at around 3:40 am, a van rolled into the alley between the Chemistry building and Sterling Hall, which at the time housed the Physics department and the Math Research Center, a cooperative venture between the United States Army and the University of Wisconsin. Four young men had packed the van with almost a ton of a highly explosive mixture of nitrate-rich fertilizer and fuel oil, the first time such a mixture had been used on such a large scale as a car-bomb. Two of the men, Leo Burt and David Fine, were from the East Coast and attended the University of Wisconsin; the other two, Karl and Dwight Armstrong, were Madison natives and close friends of Burt and Fine. The blast that ripped apart Sterling Hall just moments later represented the largest act of domestic terrorism the country would see until the mid-1990s. One physics researcher, Robert Fassnacht, was killed in the blast; five other people were also in the building but all survived.

The Armstrongs, Fine and Burt were quickly identified as suspects—having been stopped shortly by police as they fled the scene—and later dubbed themselves the “New Years’ Gang” after another failed bombing attempt earlier in the year. All fled the country within days of the bombing. Police again spotted them on September 3—two were seen in upstate New York and two in Toronto, Canada—but the trail quickly thereafter went cold as they hid out, first in Canada and then elsewhere.

In Madison, the University sorted through the rubble and mourned the loss of Robert Fassnacht. The Math Research Center, often called Army Math and widely criticized for its purported complicity with the US government in Vietnam, was identified as the target of the attack by the bombers. But occupying the upper floors of Sterling Hall, it sustained far less damage than did the Physics department. Numbers of physics researchers and graduate students professed that, apart from losing a colleague, decades of research had been destroyed. The estimated cost to repair Sterling Hall and the surrounding buildings—Pharmacy, Old Chemistry, the Medical School, etc.—would be in the millions of dollars.

The doors of the University opened for the fall semester of 1970 just a few days later, but the aftershock of the bombing continued to be felt. Antiwar protests in the following years took on a more somber tone, and questions still remain about whether Sterling Hall crippled the New Left. Administrators faced growing criticism about the violent nature of protest between October 1967 (Dow Riot) and the bombing, and there was fear that critical university officials might be targeted.

A year and a half later, in February 1972, Karleton Armstrong was discovered hiding out near Toronto, Canada under the assumed name “David Weller.” After protracted extradition hearings and a high-profile return to Madison, he pled guilty to arson and second-degree murder and was sentence to 23 years prison. The courtroom drama of his mitigation hearings were seen by many as the public trial of the Vietnam War and the protest movement. It sparked a new series of student protests bearing the slogan “Free Karl” and attracted national attention. David Fine was arrested in 1976 and Dwight Armstrong in 1977, but both received much reduced sentences. The final suspect, Leo Burt, has never been found and has been an FBI priority off and on since 1970.

ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEWS PERTAINING TO STERLING HALL ACC: N/A LOC: ORAL HISTORY PROJECT OFFICE (430) In addition to maintaining documentary, photo, and physical evidence from the Sterling Hall bombing, UW-Madison Archives has also included an oral history collection (and eventually housed the Oral History Program). The interviews in this archive range from administrators to professors to academic staff to students. In many cases, individuals here in the late 1960s and early 1970s were deeply influenced by the Sterling Hall bombing and convey their recollections about the event itself, its context in the turbulent protest years, and its outcomes. Some audio is available through UWDCC, but a number of narrators’ files contain supplementary material useful to researchers.
