Abstract
Fred H. Weaver, a long-time educational administrator at the University of North Carolina, was born in Aberdeen, N.C. in 1915 and died in India in 1972. The collection is chiefly correspondence, speeches, and photographs that relate to Fred H. Weaver's career as an educational administrator at the University of North Carolina. Most of the materials date from his years as Dean of Students at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N.C., 1946-1961, and his subsequent service with the University of North Carolina System as Secretary, 1961-1963, and then Vice President, 1963-1969. Earlier correspondence, 1941-1946, reflects Weaver's diplomatic career as an American vice consul in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1941-1942, and his World War II service as an aviator in the United States Navy, 1942-1946. There are a number of reports and other writings that were generated in conjunction with a 1952 Carnegie Corporation travel grant for young educational administrators and as a result of his work as a project adviser for educational administration with the Ford Foundation in India, 1967-1972. There are also administrative papers relating to his work as a trustee of Saint Augustine's College, Raleigh, N.C., 1962-1967, and his work with the Health Planning Council for Central North Carolina, 1964-1969.
