The Dialectic
and Philanthropic
Societies
Portrait Index
The portrait collections of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Literary Societies, begun before 1819 when
the record notes the existence of the portraits of Caldwell and Blakely, suffered many periods of neglect.
Even when regarded as needing work, they were entrusted to local handymen, notably Wilson Caldwell,
a custodian of the University, in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s many had deteriorated beyond
repair and others were destroyed through carelessness. The first great restoration project was begun in
1939, when restorer Rosen was contacted to restore some of the more prominent paintings. This continued during World War II with Gladys Hall Coates, wife of law professor Albert Coates, who arranged for
Princeton art historian Arthur Bye to come to Chapel Hill and work on restoring many of the better works.
Until the 1970s, with some work done on the Jacob Marling portraits and other works, there was no further continued restoration work. Charles Barwick, a society member, compiled a list in the mid-1960s in
anticipation of starting anew with the restoration, but this never achieved fruition. George T. Blackburn,
another society member, took Barwick’s list and other lists from the Ackland Museum and the North
Carolina Collection to make a complete list. Largely through his efforts the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies Foundation, Inc., was formed to conserve those portraits collected and listed. Restorers of the
1970s include Leon Stacks, who did restoration work before the foundation was formed, and continued
his work with the foundation. Paul Moro of New York was contracted for his experience in removing
the Masonite from the back of many of the portraits and, as the program accelerated, Joseph LaFone of
the Ackland museum was contacted to clean and restore several of the paintings in the collection. At this
writing most of the collection is now in good to excellent condition.
- Roger N. Kirkman, 1980
Without the hard work of Messrs. George Blackburn, Roger Kirkman, and Joseph Reckford, the societies
would still be uneducated about many of the men whose portraits hang in their halls. When The Di & Phi
Portrait Index was published in 1980, there were still several subjects of portraits and busts still alive.
Unfortunately, that is no longer the case 31 years later. However, we are proud to note that many portraits
have been restored in that time frame as well. With the passage of time, parts of the original portrait index
have become out of date; and with the rise of the Internet, many unknowns can now be answered. It is
with this in mind that we have endeavored to update the index, standardize the grammar, and complete
a digital copy of this guide. The Societies thank Messrs. Blackburn, Kirkman, and Reckford for their
dedication to the portraits of DiPhi so many years ago. This dedication, as well as the enthusiasm of
many others, stands today through their efforts with the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies Foundation,
Inc., a non-profit organization devoted to the care and restoration of these portraits. We, the members of
the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies, past, present, and future, are greatly indebted to the work the
Foundation has done.

Michael the Archangel, Saint (Phi N)
Attributed to Samuel Morse (Circa 1830-1832)
This painting is a copy of Guido Reni’s original masterpiece that depicts Saint Michael imprisoning Satan
at the end of the battle. The original resides in Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini Church in
Rome, Italy. The scene is described in Revelation 20:1-2 “And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that
old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years…” (KJV) Samuel Morse, of
Morse code fame, is believed to have painted this while studying art in Italy.

1835-1839. The only speaker to have also been US President. Governor of Tennessee, 1839-1841. US
President, 1845-1849. The youngest president elected until the election of John F. Kennedy. The Polk
administration saw the authorization of the Smithsonian Institution, the establishment of the Department
of the Interior, the institution of an independent treasury, the foundation of the US Naval Academy and the
US Navel Observatory, and the lowering of tariffs to promote trade. Polk’s presidency saw and increase of
territorial size greater than had any administration, through the settlement of boundary disputes with Great
Britain and the successful prosecution of the Mexican-American War, the first such use of the military by
a civilian president, paving the way by precedent for Lincoln’s command of the armed forces in the Civil
War. Polk’s vigorous work led to an early death within a few months after he stepped down. American
historians have ranked Polk as one of our ten best presidents, with the added superlative as most honest.
