From 1936 to 1980, volunteer committees organized social dinners in the Quadrangle Club for the wives of University of Chicago faculty and trustees. The events were planned as a counterpart to the annual dinner given by University Trustees for faculty members.
The Faculty Wives' events included entertainment productions as well as social dinners. Early productions were often unrehearsed theatrical readings, skits, song recitals, and games. Beginning in 1950, the productions took the form of more elaborate theatrical events, with the presentation of original material whose subject matter satirized current events and campus life. These productions became a campus tradition. Dress rehearsals were attended by the participants' husbands and children, members of the campus community, media reporters, and photographers. The content of these productions was socially attuned and could be sharply witty, as in the 1970 satire of the women's movement, "Never Underestimate…" which met with objections from many female students and faculty members.
Considerable time and effort were devoted to the event at every stage, including fund-raising and underwriting, designing and producing invitations and programs, planning meals for hundreds of guests, and composing, producing, and performing the theatrical programs. Committees assigned to each task reported to the General Chairman and the Treasurer for the event. These in turn reported to the Chair of the Board of Trustees
Beginning in the 1970s, social and generational changes resulted in diminishing interest and support for the tradition, which was ended in 1980 under the administration of President Hannah Gray. The last Faculty Wives' Dinner took place in 1980, and a reunion was held in 1985.
The records of the Faculty Wives' Dinners comprise 5 linear feet of material, spanning the years 1936 to 1985. The records pertain to the organization of dinners for the wives of University of Chicago faculty and trustees, given annually from 1936 through 1980. The collection contains manuscripts of speeches, song lyrics, and play scripts; correspondence among event organizers and with University administrators; invitations and programs; and reports, committee records, and financial material.
The collection has been arranged into six series. Series I, Events Files, is arranged chronologically and contains material related to the organization of Dinners and theater productions from 1937 to 1979. Series II, Officers' Reports, spans the years 1936 to 1979 and contains reports submitted by committee chairs to the General Chairman and University administrators. Series III, Invitations, Programs, and Talent Search Cards, spans the years 1942 to 1979. Series IV, Committee Records, contains material used within various organizing committees from 1959 to 1980. Series V, Scripts, Songs, and Production Materials, contains material used during the organization and performance of the amateur theater performances which followed dinners from 1950 to 1980. Series VI, Related Campus and Theater Organizations, contains material not pertaining to Faculty Wives' Dinners; this series, spanning the years 1951 to 1980, includes programs and other material related to a variety of amateur theater groups, as well as a small number of faculty and alumni periodicals.
