Collection Overview
| Size | 77.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 55000 items) |
| Abstract | Intercollegiate athletics at the University of North Carolina began in 1884 with a baseball game against Bingham Military School. The position of director of athletics was established in 1915 to provide oversight for intercollegiate sports. Beginning in 1937, the director of athletics was also the chair of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics. In 1938, the Educational Foundation was established to support the athletic program by raising funds for facilities and scholarships. During 1954-1955, the Department of Physical Education and Athletics was divided into the Department of Physical Education and the Department of Athletics, the latter assuming responsibility for intercollegiate sports. Also at that time, the director of athletics began reporting directly to the chancellor. There were no official intercollegiate women's teams at the university until the early 1970s. In 1974, the women's intercollegiate athletics program became part of the Department of Athletics. Records include files of the director of athletics and other Department of Athletics administrators related to the overall administration of the department and to individual intercollegiate sports. The majority of the sports-related files pertain to non-revenue sports, especially women's sports. However, there are some files related to revenue sports (football and men's basketball). Other sports represented include baseball, women's basketball, cross country running, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. Materials include correspondence; annual reports; budgets and financial materials; policy statements and regulations; game schedules and statistics; and press releases and news clippings. There are also materials related to athletic facilities and equipment; fundraising; athletic scholarships; recruitment and eligibility of players; regional and national athletic organizations; and other issues and topics. Of particular interest are materials related to Title IX of the United States Education Amendments of 1972 and its impact on women's athletics. Administrators who figure prominently in the records include Robert A. Fetzer, director of athletics, 1926-1952; Ernie Williamson, executive secretary, and later executive vice president, of the Educational Foundation, 1957-1986; Frances B. Hogan, director of Women's Intercollegiate Athletics, 1974-1985; John Swofford, assistant director of athletics, 1976-1979, and director of athletics, 1980-1997; and Beth Miller, business manager, assistant director, and then, associate director of athletics, 1979-1995. The records also include Fetzer's files as track coach and Beth Miller's files as volleyball coach along with scrapbooks and photographs documenting the activities of the Women's Athletic Association, 1954-1977. |

Historical Information
The University of North Carolina's first intercollegiate athletic contest was a baseball game against Bingham Military School in the spring of 1884. Its first intercollegiate football game was against Wake Forest College on 18 October 1888. Initially, intercollegiate games were arranged by the students, but within a few years, a faculty committee was established to provide oversight. The position of director of athletics was written into university policy in 1915, in order to provide needed reform and regulation. Thomas J. Campbell was appointed to the position in 1916. Among the duties of the director was to assure that instruction and facilities were adequate for the participation of all students in athletic activities. Campbell's tenure was interrupted by World War I, but in 1921, the university hired William K. Fetzer as director of athletics and football coach. Fetzer's brother Robert became assistant director and track coach. When William resigned in 1926, Robert A. Fetzer became director of athletics and served in that capacity for more than twenty years.
In 1935, the university established the Department of Physical Education with Oliver K. Cornwell as chair. In 1937, the Department of Physical Education and the athletics program directed by Robert Fetzer were combined to form the Department of Physical Education and Athletics. Cornwell, as professor of physical education, was considered chair of the physical education component of the new department, but Fetzer was chair of the combined department and director of athletics. There was some separation of funds between the two components of the department. The salaries of the physical education faculty came from state funds, while those of the coaches came from Athletic Association funds. The Athletic Association, organized by students in 1876, remained a student organization but was also a quasi-administrative office. Because it received student athletic fees and proceeds from ticket sales, it needed a professional business manager. The first person to provide managerial services to the Athletic Association was Charles T. Woollen, the university business manager. Later, the association's business manager was part of the office of the director of athletics. Another individual who worked closely with the office of the director of athletics was the director of sports publicity. This position was created about 1947; it was technically part of the university's News Bureau at first, but it was funded by the Athletic Association. Eventually, the Sports Information Office was established within the Department of Athletics.
In 1952, when Robert Fetzer retired, administration of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics was modified in an effort to strengthen faculty control over athletics. Oliver K. Cornwell became chair of the combined department while Charles P. Erickson, Fetzer's successor, was simply director of athletics. The combined department ended in 1954-1955, when the director of athletics began reporting directly to the chancellor. The intercollegiate athletics component of the old department became the Department of Athletics; but the names Department of Athletics and Athletic Association were sometimes used interchangeably.
The Educational Foundation was chartered in 1938 in order to provide financial aid to athletes and to support university athletics by building facilities and purchasing equipment. For a brief period in the 1960s, at the behest of football coach Jim Tatum, a parallel organization called The Rams, Inc., took primary control over fundraising efforts for athletic programs at the university. When the Rams' charter expired, the Educational Foundation resumed the role of fundraising. The name Rams Club was later given to a category of donors within the foundation.
Prior to 1971, there were limited opportunities for women students to participate in athletics. The main opportunities were the intramural and co-recreational sports sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association and the Department of Physical Education. There were no official intercollegiate athletic teams for women at the university, although women could compete as individuals in intercollegiate tournaments. In 1971, the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) was established with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a charter member. In 1972, the United States Congress enacted the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX of which prohibited discrimination against women in athletics and other areas by educational institutions receiving federal funds. In May 1974, Frances Hogan, a member of the university's physical education faculty since 1946, was appointed director of intercollegiate athletics for women. At that time, the women's intercollegiate athletics program was part of the Department of Physical Education. In October 1974, it became part of the Department of Athletics. By 1979, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had the largest women's intercollegiate athletics program in the state and fielded women's teams in 13 sports. UNC-Chapel Hill remained a member of the Association for Interccollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) until 1982, when its women's teams were placed under the jurisdiction of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

Addition of June 2012. Women's Athletic Association,
1951-1976.
Arrangement: Chronological.
Prior to 1971, opportunities for women students to participate in athletics were limited. The main opportunities at the university were the intramural and co-recreational sports sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association and the Department of Physical Education. There were no official intercollegiate athletic teams for women at the university, although women could compete as individuals in intercollegiate tournaments. The Women's Athletic Association (WAA), established in 1934, was a student organization whose membership included all women students. According to a WAA handbook from 1951-1952, its purpose was "to develop qualities of leadership, to promote interest in women's athletics, and to provide opportunities for participation in various recreational activities." The organization was run by students, with logistical support provided by the Department of Physical Education. Women students could compete for the Dormitory Cup or the Sorority Cup in intramural sports including volleyball, tennis, hockey, basketball, badminton, ping pong, shuffleboard, swimming, archery, softball, and golf. Some co-recreational activities were also sponsored, including carnival games. Records consist mainly of the annual handbooks of the Women's Athletic Association and related materials including constitutions, calendars of events, lists of officers, meeting minutes, rules, regulations, participation records, photographs, and yearly reports (which typically include procedures, results of competitions, and suggestions for improvements). There is also information on individual events, co-recreational activities, election of officers, awards, and the Athletic and Recreation Federation of College Women.

Addition of June 2012. Educational Foundation, 1962-1965, 1972, 1974.
Arrangement: By year, then alphabetically by file name.
The Educational Foundation, Inc., chartered 7 December 1938, was established to serve as the development organization for the intercollegiate athletics program at the University of North Carolina. A 1991 brochure describes its purpose: "To offer financial aid to worthy young men and women seeking an education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill" and "to support university programs by providing services and funds for the construction of facilities and purchase of equipment." For a brief period in the 1960s, at the behest of football coach Jim Tatum, a parallel organization called The Rams, Inc. took primary control of fundraising efforts, but when its charter expired, the Educational Foundation resumed the role. Later, the name Rams Club was applied to a category of donors within the foundation.
This subseries consists of the files of Ernie Williamson, who served as the executive secretary, and later executive vice president, of the foundation from 1957 to 1986. Files consist largely of routine correspondence, much of it with foundation members. Included are notices of chapter meetings; acknowledgements of donations; member requests for tickets and parking at athletic events; and correspondence concerning trips and other events sponsored by the foundation. There are also scattered financial records, including trust statements. In the 1974 files, there are multiple references to the passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the impact it might have on football and men's basketball.
