"Under a Southern Rose: Of a Time When 'CIA' Meant 'Confederate Intelligence Activities'," David Winfrey Gaddy, 1989

This series contains information on the annual lecture series, with the bulk covering the period after its revival in 1957. The files for the early years include much of the correspondence arranging for the lectures and information on the lecturers as well as in some cases printed copies of the prepared text. For later years the files consist largely of lecture announcements, programs, and attendance lists.

Audio or video recordings were made of most lectures, but are not currently available. Correspondence relating to the recordings can be found in the relevant subseries.

Correspondence is also available regarding the production of the printed programs and the selection of speakers during the 1970s along with an undated seat plan.

Information on attendance and the financial aspects of the lectures can be found in other series.

Print transcriptions for certain lectures are available in the reading room.
