Abstract | The Department of Philosophy of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is responsible for the university's undergraduate and graduate curricula in philosophy. In 1967 the department, in cooperation with the university's Extension Division (later the Division of Extension and Continuing Education), began sponsoring the annual Chapel Hill Colloquium in Philosophy. Records of the Department of Philosophy consist of seven audiotapes, six of which document portions of the 1976, 1978, 1979, and 1986 Chapel Hill Colloquium in Philosophy. The remaining tape documents the 17 September 1978 memorial service for Jane English, an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy who was killed in a mountain climbing accident at the age of 31. Also included are copies of the printed programs for these events. |

Philosophy in one form or another has been taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill since its opening in 1795. The modern Department of Philosophy dates to the 1880s, when it was established as the School of Metaphysics. The school was soon transformed into the Department of Mental and Moral Science, which became the Department of Philosophy around 1895. The department has become nationally recognized and offers both undergraduate and graduate curricula. In 1967 it began sponsoring, in cooperation with the university's Extension Division (beginning in 1976, the Division of Extension and Continuing Education), the annual Chapel Hill Colloquium in Philosophy, which featured lectures and seminars by noted philosophers.
