Read all about it in two issues of the Harvard Crimson newspaper from 1934. The first issue dated March 15 describes the questionnaire put under student's doors and the sponsoring organization, The Cambridge society of Social Psychology. There were nine questions on sexual intercourse(amount, regularity, type of women). Then there were questions on, and I quote from the questionnaire, "intimate physical relationships with members of your own sex which gave you sexual pleasure." The other paper dated March 16th has a story headed "Four Nationally Known Scholars Indorse Sex Quiz" Sanger, Murray, and Schwelnitz named by critic as Harvard Psychologists pounce." Apparently the University did not know about the project and was prepared to take action if the results were published.
