Biographical history

Jean Du Plessis, a South African and anti-apartheid activist, put together a collection of poems for publication and sale together with two people from the Provisional Editorial Board. The Editorial Board believed that unpretentious individual expression was sadly lacking at stellenbosch, and hoped to stimulate and provide a forum for such expression. \'Feel Free\', a collection of poems highlighting people\'s opposition against apartheid, was banned.
