Records, 1946-1970.

Files accumulated by Bernard J. Kohlbrenner, professor of education at the University of Notre Dame, during his twenty-one year effort (1946-1967) to establish a Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Notre Dame and his three year tenure (1967-1970) as president of the chapter. Consisting of correspondence with university officers, other PBK members, and the headquarters of the PBK United Chapters; lengthy and detailed reports to the PBK Qualifications Committee supporting Notre Dame's application for a chapter; and by-laws, membership lists, minutes, correspondence, and other records of the chapter. There are relatively few chapter records, and much of the correspondence relates to the problem of finding an office to store the chapter's charter and files. The more extensive pre-chapter files, however, contain much information concerning the academic programs and standards of Notre Dame.
