Size 31.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 25200 items)
Abstract Students at the University of North Carolina established a chapter of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in 1860. Although the association initially was run entirely by the students, the university encouraged it and eventually provided it with a building. The YMCA disbanded in 1870 but was reestablished in 1876 and has operated continuously since then. In addition to providing a center for religious life on the campus, the YMCA took the lead in organizing an orientation program for new students, published the student handbook for many years, ran the book exchange, and played an important role in early athletics at the university. From 1926 to 1943, the YMCA sponsored the Institute of Human Relations, which brought speakers of many religious and political persuasions to the university. The institute was disbanded during World War II but was reestablished as the Carolina Symposium in 1956. The Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) was established on campus in 1936 and began to sponsor programs and events of a similar nature. In 1954, the paid staffs and advisory boards of the YMCA and YWCA were merged; however, the two associations maintained separate student cabinets until 1973. The merged organization was known as the YMCA-YWCA until 1976, when its name changed to Campus Y. The Campus Y has focused increasingly on community service and issues related to social justice and race relations. The director of the Campus Y reports to the vice chancellor for student affairs. Records include correspondence, constitutions, minutes of boards and committees, and other files relating to the administration of and programs sponsored by the YMCA and YWCA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, both before and after the merger of the two associations. Also included are scrapbooks, photographs, and other media. The addition of June 2011 includes materials relating to the Black Faculty Staff Caucus and the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black History and Culture (formerly Black Cultural Center).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Historical Information

Students at the University of North Carolina established a chapter of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in 1860. Although the association initially was run entirely by the students, the university encouraged it and eventually provided it with a building. The YMCA disbanded in 1870 but was reestablished in 1876 and has operated continuously since then.

In addition to providing a center for religious life on the campus, the YMCA took the lead in organizing an orientation program for new students, published the student handbook for many years, ran the book exchange, and played an important role in early athletics at the university. From 1926 to 1943 the YMCA sponsored the Institute of Human Relations, which brought speakers of many religious and political persuasions to the university. The institute was disbanded during World War II but was reestablished as the Carolina Symposium in 1956.

The Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) was established on campus in 1936 and began sponsoring programs and events of a similar nature. Both associations participated in outreach programs in local hospitals and schools, provided assistance to foreign students before the opening of the International Student Center, and led the way in bringing distinguished visitors to the campus. In the spring of 1954, the paid staffs and advisory boards of the YMCA and YWCA were merged; however, the two associations maintained separate student cabinets until 1973. The merged organization was known as the YMCA-YWCA until 1976, when its named changed to Campus Y. Since then, the Campus Y has focused increasingly on community service and issues related to social justice and race relations.

In the early years of both the YMCA and the YWCA, the paid position of secretary was usually a one-year appointment. Frank P. Graham was secretary from 1913 to 1915, and Frances F. Bradshaw served in that capacity from 1916 to 1918. Harry F. Comer, secretary of the YMCA from 1921 until 1947, was the first long-term staff member. The YWCA also had a succession of short-term appointees until 1948, when Gay Currie was selected as executive secretary. Later the position was called chairman and then director. Since 1954, the director of the Campus Y has reported to the vice chancellor for student affairs. A list of YM-YWCA secretaries and their successors follows.
