The University of North Carolina first admitted women as
graduate students in 1897.  Clara S. Lingle was appointed Adviser
to Women in 1917.  She was succeeded in 1919 by Inez Koonce
Stacy, who held the office until 1946 and during whose tenure
(1942) the title of the office became Dean of Women.  Katherine
Carmichael succeeded Dean Stacy and served until 1977.  In 1972
the Office of the Dean of Women was abolished, and Dean
Carmichael was appointed Associate Dean of Student Affairs for
Supportive Services.  The latter office inherited none of the
functions of the Office of the Dean of Women; nevertheless, these
records contain several annual reports of Carmichael as Associate
Dean for Supportive Services.

     The archival records of the Office of the Dean of Women
consist of annual reports, administrative correspondence,
speeches and writings of Deans Stacy and Carmichael, and files
pertaining to (in some cases, containing the records of) various
women’s student government organizations.  Also included in these
records are regulations and policies governing women students,
files on facilities for women, and several lists of women
students, 1897-1946, as well as clippings, printed material, and
photographs.  There are also some personal papers of Dean
Carmichael.  The records are divided into series reflecting the
individual tenures within the Office of the Dean of Women.  See
the descriptions of the individual series and subseries for more
information.  Related materials will also be found in the Records
of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs in the University
Archives.


SERIES 1: INEZ KOONCE STACY SERIES

     The Stacy series derives largely from the period 1919-1946,
when Inez Koonce Stacy was Adviser to Women and then Dean of
Women.  There is also one annual report submitted in 1917 by
Clara S. Lingle, Adviser for the Division of Women.  Other files
include a few of Mrs. Stacy's speeches, records of the women's
student government organizations, and a list of women students
for the period 1897-1946.  This list was probably compiled when
Mrs. Stacy's portrait was presented to the University in 1957.
The records also contain significant correspondence relating to
the formation of the North Carolina Association of Deans of
Women, as well as letters and memoranda about a building for
women students on the campus (i.e., Spencer Residence Hall,
completed in 1924).  There is a notebook containing lists of
graduate and undergraduate women students, 1919-1929, and women
honorary degree recipients, 1895-1934.  Two bound volumes filed
at the end of the series describe the duties and responsibilities
of the Dean of Women.

SERIES 2: KATHERINE KENNEDY CARMICHAEL SERIES

     The Carmichael Series derives from the period 1946-1977 when
Katherine Kennedy Carmichael was Dean of Women, 1946-1972, and
Associate Dean of Student Affairs for Supportive Services,
1972-1977.  These records are divided into subseries according to
their content.

     SUBSERIES 1: ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS

     This subseries contains Dean Carmichael's annual reports for
the years 1946-1977.  There is some administrative correspondence
filed with the reports.  In addition to the annual reports, there
are administrative files from the Office of the Dean of Women
that contain correspondence, minutes, and reports of the various
women students’ campus organizations.  There are several files of
regulations for women students, especially relating to freshmen
women, 1957-1958.  This subseries also contains correspondence
and reports about the visit by the women members of the Board of
Trustees to the Chapel Hill campus in 1957-1958 and 1967-1968.
Correspondence about the presentation of the portrait of Inez
Stacy, a bound volume containing the proceedings of that
presentation, and a tape recording are filed with the Carmichael
Series.  There is also a handbook issued by the office of the
Dean of Women in 1970 for residence hall directors and one binder
of newspaper clippings relating directly to the work of the Dean
of Women.

     SUBSERIES 3: PERSONAL PAPERS

     This subseries contains Katherine Carmichael's personal
correspondence from 1946-1978, clippings, printed material, and
photographs.  The personal correspondence is arranged in three
separate units, each chronological.  The first two document
leaves of absence from the University, which Miss Carmichael
spent in the Philippines, 1951-1952, and Saigon, Vietnam,
1961-1962.  Many of the letters contained here are from Katherine
Carmichael to family and friends and contain descriptions of her
life in Manila and Vietnam.  The Vietnam section includes
correspondence, 1962-1977, with and about Miss Carmichael's
former students in Vietnam.  Miss Carmichael's correspondence
from James Penrose Harland, for many years professor of
archaeology in the University, is filed as a separate unit in
this subseries.  There are a number of awards, certificates, and
