Abstract | George Lensing is a white scholar of modern American poetry known particularly for his work on Wallace Stevens. He joined the Department of English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1969 and served in that department until his retirement in 2016. During his time at UNC-Chapel Hill, Lensing served in numerous administrative roles, including secretary of the faculty, director of the English honors program, assistant dean of honors in the College of Arts and Sciences, advisory board member for the Campus Y, member of the Morehead and Robertson scholarship committees, and member of the chancellor's award committee. He also served as the faculty adviser to the Order of the Golden Fleece, a campus honor organization. Papers relate primarily to Lensing's service to the university and consist largely of correspondence with chancellors and other university figures, 1970s-2017. Included are photographs of several UNC chancellors as well as United States president Bill Clinton, who spoke at University Day in 1993. Also included is a small series of U.S. national political memorabilia, 1960-1977, collected by Lensing. |
