Abstract | The Dialectic Society was the first of two literary societies formed in 1795, the year the University of North Carolina opened. Throughout the nineteenth century, nearly all students were members of one of these societies. Students from the eastern portion of the state tended to belong to the Philanthropic Society and those from the western portion to the Dialectic Society. The societies provided literary and oratorical training, and exercised many of the functions of student government. They also acquired books and developed extensive libraries. In 1886, the societies merged their libraries into the university library. Records of the Dialectic Society include minutes, inaugural addresses of society presidents, commencement addresses, debates, bills and resolutions, correspondence, committee records, treasurer's records, membership records, the constitution and bylaws, library catalogs and circulation records, and publicity records. Correspondence concerns requests for portraits, library book orders, invitations to deliver addresses, and financial matters. Committee records include records of the building, catalog, Confederate repository and records, dance, debate, executive, library, membership, portraits, properties, publicity, radio, renovations, room, query, ways and means, and special committees. |

The University of North Carolina opened its doors on 15 January 1795. The first recorded meeting of its student Debating Society occurred less than five months later, on 3 June 1795. Undoubtedly, Tutor Charles W. Harris had some influence on its creation, since he had attended the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) and was familiar with the Whig Society there. Thirty-one members pledged to abide by the laws of the Debating Society. However, at its third meeting, on 25 June 1795, a motion was made to divide into two separate societies. Voting on the motion was postponed for a week; and at a meeting on 2 July, a vote was taken, the motion passed, and a second society was created. It was called the Concord Society. The records of the societies do not reveal why the division was made. Historians have suggested that it may have been because of political differences, or disagreement over the powers of the Censor Morum (the Debating Society officer who inspected the conduct and morals of the members), or simply a desire to provide more frequent opportunities for debate. The following year both societies changed their names to the Greek equivalents. The Debating Society became the Dialectic Society on 25 August 1796, and on 29 August 1796 the Concord Society became the Philanthropic Society.
In his History of the University of North Carolina, Kemp P. Battle wrote, "The Fundamental Laws, afterward called Constitution, and the course of proceedings of the two societies were much alike. In the Concord for a short while new members could be admitted by a majority vote. . . I notice no other material differences, and I make no further distinction between the two in endeavoring to reproduce their action." The stated goals of both societies were the cultivation of friendship and the promotion of useful knowledge. The latter included development of the members' debating skill, writing style, and knowledge of parliamentary rules. Officers of the societies included a president; a clerk; a treasurer; a censor morum; and two correctors, who reviewed the members' compositions. The censor morum, whose powers were more restricted than those of the Debating Society officer, was later replaced by a vice-president.
Members were divided into three classes; and alternately at each meeting one class read, another composed, and the third spoke. Reading meant reading aloud a passage from an author, while speaking (or declaiming) meant reciting from memory a passage from a famous speech. Those composing had to read aloud short essays they had written. Meetings were held once a week (later, twice a week). In addition to the three activities described above, each meeting included a debate, in which two of the members would argue a predetermined question. The societies awarded diplomas, and although not an academic diploma, a society diploma was a distinct honor conferred on a member who was well respected and had performed his society duties outstandingly.
In support of their activities, the societies acquired, by gift and purchase, extensive library and portrait collections. For the most part, books were purchased from funds provided by dues and fees imposed on the members. Eventually, the societies' combined libraries became larger than the university library. According to Kemp P. Battle, "as early as 1835 there were about 6,000 well-selected books in the two, probably the best collection in the State." By 1875, the Dialectic Society alone had amassed 6,943 volumes. In 1886, the two societies merged their library holdings into the university's collection.
Until 1848, the societies met in their libraries, which were on the third floor of South Building. The additions to Old East and Old West completed in 1848 included new quarters for the societies--the Dialectic in Old West and the Philanthropic in Old East. In 1860, the societies moved to chambers in New East and New West.
By virtue of their concern with the conduct of their members, the societies also functioned as the campus student government for over a century and were instrumental in the development of the Honor System. Bad conduct by one member was thought to reflect on the entire society. The societies imposed fines for various offenses, and it was not uncommon for them to impeach members for repeated or excessive misconduct. Around 1890, the faculty, interested in fostering student self-government, began to refer cases of cheating to the societies. But, by 1910, the societies' disciplinary role in cases of cheating, hazing, and numerous other offenses had been assumed by the Student Council (established in 1904 as the University Council).
Throughout most of the university's history, membership in the societies was voluntary; and new members were admitted by a vote of the old members. Nevertheless, until the twentieth century, almost the entire student body belonged to one of the two societies. Generally though not exclusively, students from the eastern portion of the state joined the Philanthropic Society and those from the western portion joined the Dialectic Society. This practice may grown out of the early sectional rivalry between east and west.
The societies disbanded during Reconstruction, when the university was closed. But following the university's reopening in 1875, they reorganized and flourished. In 1885, a resolution of the Board of Trustees required all enrolled students, "except medical, law, and students taking postgraduate or special courses, and such as may be specially excused by the faculty," to belong to one of the societies. This action resulted from the urging of University President Kemp P. Battle and the faculty, who wanted to foster the societies' disciplinary function. By 1895, however, the university had dropped this membership requirement; the course catalog published in that year states that "although membership in the societies is entirely optional, yet it is earnestly recommended by the faculty."
In 1919, the Philanthropic Society reorganized itself according to the plan of the General Assembly of North Carolina and became the Philanthropic Assembly. In 1924, the Dialectic Society reorganized as the Dialectic Senate. Over the next several decades, more and more student groups emerged to vie for members; and by the mid-1950s, membership in both societies had declined to an alarming level. In 1959, in an effort to ensure continuation of the organizations, the Senate and the Assembly merged into the Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate.

The University of North Carolina opened its doors in January 1795 with one professor and one classroom building. On 3 June of that year, students organized the Debating Society, which soon split into two separate societies. In 1796, the societies adopted the names Dialectic and Philanthropic. By September 1795, 74 students had enrolled in the university. Most of them were sons of well-to-do planters and statesmen. Their curriculum, designed by university founder William R. Davie, was a liberal one for the time. It put the study of science on a par with the classics and emphasized English composition. Davie's curriculum, however, was short-lived. By 1804, Joseph Caldwell, who was president of the university for most of the period prior to 1835, had instituted the traditional classical curriculum, which emphasized the study of Latin and Greek. The site of the university was distant from major towns and cities; thus the students had little to occupy them besides their studies, the societies, and entertainments of their own making. The holdings of the university library were meager, and members of the societies began to acquire books and to establish their own libraries. By 1835, the two societies together possessed 6,000 volumes. Enrollment at the university was 109 in 1833 (though it had been over 170 in the early 1820s); the faculty included a president, five professors and two or three tutors.
The addresses, debates, and other writings of Dialectic Society members in the period 1795-1834 reflect increasing interest in politics and government and in contemporary and recently past events in both the United States and Europe. For example, in 1823, members debated the question "Should the United States assist Spain in her present struggle with France?" and, in 1825, "Should the U.S. remove the Indians within her territory beyond the Mississippi?" Yet society members also debated and composed on ancient history, American literature, religion, morals, and many other subjects.

Arrangement: Chronological.
The period 1835-1868 coincided with the tenure of David L. Swain as university president. Swain, unlike his predecessors, was not a scholar or clergyman; he was an attorney and former governor of the state. He worked to increase enrollment and to attract students from states other than North Carolina. By 1858, enrollment had reached 456; and over one-third of the student body was from other southern states, including Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia. The number of professors had increased to ten. The University of North Carolina was then one of the largest educational institutions in the nation. While the curriculum remained predominately classical, there were developments in other areas. In 1845, instruction in law was introduced. Courses in civil engineering and agricultural chemistry began to be offered through a School for the Application of Science to the Arts, authorized in 1852. The Dialectic and Philanthropic societies remained the principal student organizations, but fraternities began to appear on campus, the first being Delta Kappa Epsilon in 1851.
The Civil War brought the university's growth to a halt. Students left in large numbers in 1861 to join the Confederate army. Others were conscripted as the war dragged on. By the end of September 1861, only 91 students remained on campus. The university managed to remain open for the war's duration, with barely a dozen students enrolled at the end in 1865. In the years immediately after the war, it continued to struggle. Enrollment did not rebound, and the university had debt that it could not repay. It closed in February 1871, when the General Assembly declined to address its financial needs. It did not reopen until September 1875. Between 1868 and 1875, the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies were largely inactive.
As in the period before 1835, the addresses, debates, and other writings of Dialectic Society members in this period reflect a strong interest in politics and government and in contemporary and historical events. In the early 1840s, members wrote and debated on whether immigration ought to be restricted; whether monarchy or democracy was the better form of government; the evil influence of wealth upon national morality; and whether Elizabeth I was justified in the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. Some of their writings also reflect the growing controversy within the nation over slavery. In 1837, society members debated whether Texas should be annexed to the United States and, in 1838, whether Congress should receive petitions for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. During the 1850s, they wrote and spoke on "Two sections of the Union"; "Our Union, will it be preserved"; and "The American Union, a Failure."

Arrangement: Chronological.
The university closed its doors in February 1871 due to lack of support from the state legislature. When it reopened in September 1875, its curriculum had been reorganized into six colleges: Agriculture; Engineering and the Mechanic Arts; Natural Sciences; Literature; Mathematics; and Philosophy (the law school would reopen later). No longer did the classics reign. Seven professsors were elected by the Board of Trustees in 1875; three had been members of the faculty prior to the war. Sixty-nine students enrolled in the 1875-1876 session. The Dialectic and Philanthropic societies, which had been inactive since 1868, reorganized themselves. In June 1876, Kemp Plummer Battle, an attorney and secretary of the Board of Trustees, was elected president of the university. By the 1877-1878 session, there were 198 students enrolled. The student body began to be more representative of the state. Poorer students had opportunities to attend because free tuition was provided to the sons of clergymen, those intending to become clergymen, and "county" students (selected by the commissioners in each county). In 1877, the university began running a summer session for teachers. Called the Normal School, it brought women to campus for the first time to take courses. Women, however, were not enrolled as regular students until 1897, when five enrolled in postgraduate courses. In 1885, The Board of Trustees allowed fraternities to return to campus. In 1886, the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies transferred their libraries to the university library, then in Smith Hall. By 1897-1898, the student body numbered 472, only a few more than in 1858. However, 445 of these students were from North Carolina, while in 1858, over a third of the student body had been from out of state.
The addresses, debates, and other writings of Dialectic Society members in this period are less numerous than in the earlier periods. But they continue to reflect interest in politics and government, contemporary and historical events, and literature. Among the contemporary issues that members debated were whether the Negro should be colonized (1878); whether North Carolina should adopt a compulsory system of education (1879); whether North Carolina should tax her two races separatively to support their respective school systems (1883); whether the right of suffrage should be restricted (1885); and whether the United States should allow foreign capitalists to cut a canal across the Isthmus of Panama (1886). A senior oration in 1898 and another composition in 1899 dealt with the causes of the Civil War.
Arrangement: Chronological.
The period 1900-1918 saw the beginning of the university's transition from a good liberal arts college to a modern university. The tenures of two university presidents spanned the period: Francis Preston Venable, 1900-1914, and Edward K. Graham, 1914-1918. Under Venable, the Graduate School was established in 1903. In 1907, the university library, having outgrown Smith Hall, moved into the newly constructed Carnegie Library. The latter was one of nine new buildings completed between 1900 and 1910--the first major expansion of the campus since before the Civil War. E.K. Graham emphasized university extension and service to the state. Many of his plans and projects were delayed by World War I and by his death from influenza in the fall of 1918.
The Dialectic and Philanthropic societies remained influential, but there was an increasing number of students who did not belong to them. Thus, the ability of the societies to regulate student behavior was diminished. At the same time, there was friction between fraternity and non-fraternity men. It was in this climate that the student body, in 1904, proposed the establishment of the Student Council, which ultimately became Student Government.
The addresses and other writings of Dialectic Society members in this period consist largely of untitled inaugural addresses of the society presidents. There are no debates.
By 1937, the student body numbered nearly 3600, including 434 graduate students. The university and the nation were slowly recovering from the Great Depression. Construction began in 1938-1939 on a number of new buildings, including several dormitories, funded in large part by the Public Works Administration of the federal government. Soon after the United States entered World War II in December 1941, the university placed its resources at the disposal of the federal government to assist in the war effort. Several military training programs operated on the campus. After the war, enrollment surged, in large part because of the GI Bill. The late 1940s and early 1950s saw an expansion of the School of Medicine and construction of a medical center and teaching hospital on the campus. The 1950s also brought integration, with the admission of a small number of African-American students to the School of Law (1951), the School of Medicine (1951), and the General College (1955).
Membership in the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies continued to decline as more and more student groups emerged to vie for members. Both societies had reorganized along the lines of legislative bodies in the period between 1918 and 1937. The Philanthropic Society had become the Philanthropic Assembly in 1919, and the Dialectic Society had become the Dialectic Senate in 1924. In 1959, in an effort to ensure continuation of the organizations, the two merged to become the Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate.
As in the period just prior, the addresses and other writings of Dialectic Society members from 1937 to 1957 consist largely of untitled inaugural addresses of the society presidents. There is a 1939 inaugural address by Louise Walker, possibly the first woman to preside over the society. Again, there are no debates. A handful of other addresses reflects members' continuing interest in government, politics, and contemporary events. These include "A University Goes to War," 1942; an untitled address in support of United States Senator Frank Porter Graham, 1950; an untitled address on the place of militarism in the community of learning, 1953; and several others.
