(Contributed) A century and a quarter ago, in a forest in the north-central part of North Carolina, was a crossing of two great roads: one leading from Petersburg, Virginia, on to South ;Car olina, the other from New Bern, down near the coast, westward to Greensboro and Salisbury. Here 1 wagoners and drovers,! and occasionally more exalted persons, used to stop and rest, to feed themselves and their horses, and to exchange gossip of their travels. At this intersection stood a little neglected building which had been a chapel of the Church of England—a symbol, in its emptiness and aspect of despair, of the fruitless efforts of the es tablished church to gain a foothold in the state after the Revo lutionary War. It was called New Hope Chapel; and from it, and from the fact that it stood upon a promontory between two creek valleys, the crossroads came to be known as New Hope Chapel Hill. It was not long before the words New Hope were dropped, and the name became simply Chapel Hill. x The provision that there should be founded “one or more uni versities” was incorporated in the constitution of the new state in the very year the Declaration of Independence was signed, 1776; but of course the war and the political confusion that followed Yorktown, as well as the general poverty, obscured the educa tional mandate in the public mind. The plan was revived when North Carolina entered the American Union, in 1789, and in that year the University received a charter from the General Assembly. Many of the most enlightened citizens of the commonwealth supported the project, but the one to whom history gives the chief share of the credit, and writes down as the Founder of the Univer sity, was William Richardson Davie. He had been a cavalry of ficer in the Revolution under General Greene, he had become a leader in political life, and in the constitutional convention of 1787 he ha<J caused the vote of North Carolina to be cast for the compromise—the equality of the states in the Senate—which made the Union possible. He was a thoughtful and fore-sighted man, and he saw a vigorous encouragement of education as ill dispensable to the future welfare of his state. After the charter had been granted and trustees had been appointed, the next task was to select the site for the University. To make the choice was no easy matter, for the appointed by the trustees were importuned by the people of one neighborhood after another, each group crying up the merits of its own particular location. At length, in November of 1792, the natural advantages of the ground, as well as substantial dona dons in land and money from farmers dwelling in and near the settlement, gave Chapel Hill the decision. In the language of the geologists, Chapel Hill is a promon tory of granite belonging to the Laurentian system, and extends into the sandstone formation to the east, which was once the bed )f a long sheet of water stretching from New York to Georgia. The hill is shaped somewhat like a tongue, with its tip pointed eastward over the former inland sea. “The flat country spreads out below”—these are the words from Davie’s own description— ‘like the ocean, giving an immense hemisphere in which the eye seems lost in the extent of space.” He adds: “There is nothing more remarkable about the place than the abundance of springs }f the purest and finest water, which burfet from the side of the ridge and which have been the object of admiration of both lunters and travelers ever since the discovery and settlement of riiis part of the country.” The cornerstone of the Old East building—which still stands, he oldest structure of any American state institution—was laid on the 12th of October, 1793. The space where the ceremony took place was then but a clearing in the virgin woods. By the map it was half way between the Atlantic Ocean and the western border 3f the state, but actually it was far toward the frontier, for at that period the great mass of the population was in the counties down .toward the sea. To the west and southwest the piedmont, now a busy manufacturing district, was then an undeveloped country, dotted here and there with farms; and farther on to the west a vast expanse of mountainland had never yet been trod by a white man. The new institution had its formal opening January 15, 1795. It was a hard winter, and, in the words of Kemp P. Battle, his torian of the University, Governor Richard Dobbs Speight and his fellow notables, to attend the ceremonies, “braved the discomforts of 28 miles of red mud and pipe clay and jagged rocks that strtech ed from Raleigh to Chapel Hill.” The Presiding Professor, David Kerr, reigned a month in solitary state with nobody to teach. The first student, Hinton James, of Wilmington, appeared on the 12th day of February. For two weeks he constituted the entire student body. There were 41 ybung men on the roll at the end of the term, and during the second tsrm the attendance reached a bout 100. The term University was not, of course, descriptive of the institution. This was a title by courtesy, much like the Colonel and the Major accorded to prominent figures in Southern com munities—a high-sounding name deemed suitable for the state’s most ambitious educational enterprise, denoting not an actuality but an aspiration. In its curriculum the University did not pre tend to be more than a modest college. And many of the entrants were unprepared for the courses that had been mapped out, so that at the very outset a preparatory department, or “grammar school,” had to be established. In those earliest years and for several years thereafter the rest of the South had no institutions of higher learning, and this condition brought to Chapel Hill a considerable number of stu dents from other states. Thomas Jefferson was not to found the University of Virginia until 1821, and the names of some of the celebrated Virginia families, such as the Masons, are found on the University of North Carolina roll for the first two decades of the century. Until the Civil War the states to the south con tributed a liberal proportion of the student attendance. The story of the University of North Carolina in those early years,, and for a long time after, is a story of an incessant strug gle, not for a luxurious or even a comfortable existence, but for :he barest necessities. It belonged to the state and was controlled Dy the state, but about all the state did for it was to give to it “escheats,” that is, the ownership of such property as might fall :o the state by forfeitures or unpresented claims. Now and then a small sum was realized in this way, but for the most part de pendence was upon private benefactions. Solicitations for funds —what in this day we would call “drives”—were made periodi-! cally. Lotteries, then legal and respectable, were resorted to. The cornerstone of the next oldest building on the campus, the South, was laid in 1798; work was begun, was halted for lack of funds, and the building was not completed until 1814. This enterprise presented a fair example of the difficulties met by the institution whenever it sought to raise money. When the Civil War broke out scores of the students went off to join the Confederate armies, but the University functioned all through the struggle and until 1868. Reconstruction dealt it a ftefcth blow. The carpet-bag government made &.pisj&nse of keep ingrifc in operation, but even this farce endured but a year or so. At the beginning of the second year of the new-regime, in August, ~ £BO9, the enrollment was 18.
