This source advised that the YSC has been controlled and directed by members of the SWP from its inception to the present time. The purpose of the YSC was to afford the SWP an opportunity to make contacts, recruit members into the SWP, and spread propaganda among the students and other young people. Tie constitution of the YSC states its purpose “shall be to unite young students, workers, and members of minority groups who wish to build and participate in an independent, militant, socialist group. It shall engage in a broad program of political, educational, and social activities, bringing socialist ideas to young people in an atmosphere of free and open discussion," Another source advised on August 20, 1958, that the YSC was officially dissolved on Augyst 10, 1955, as a tactical move by the youth fraction of’ the Detroit Branch SWP.
