Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Records, 1836-2004 (bulk 1959-2004)

The Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate was formed in 1959 in an initially unsuccessful effort to reverse the decline of the University of North Carolina's historic Dialectic and Philanthropic societies. Membership increased in the 1970s as a result of publicity and special programs. Records of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate include meeting minutes; correspondence; committee records; financial records; membership lists; constitution and bylaws; publicity materials; and pictures, some of them 19th-century images of former members of the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies. Records also include several videocassette tapes, including one of the 18 October 1999 Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate meeting and one of a 1997 documentary about the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies.
