historical Highlights OfUNC: The Maturation Of A University
By OTELIA CONNOR
After 75 years of Latin,
j.reek. Math, and Moral Phi
losoDhv. the curriculum was
broadened to include English
and Modern Languages. For
many years, the colleges of thp
nation trained men only for
th- Law. Medicine and teach
ing. More and more thev real
ized thp obligation of the col
leges to train people for the
comDlicated work in a compli
cated society. Now we have
the IBM. the computer, right
on through th Jet age.
The Honor System was start
ed in 1875. It had been a case
of cops and robbers before the
Civil War.
At first the Council concern
ed itself only with cheating on
exams. Gradually it included
other ungentlemanly conduct
on the campus. But it did not
tackle hazing in the fraterni
ties, which could be very bru
tal, until a student who was
dancing on a barrel, fell, cut
his jugular vein on a rugged
broken bottle, and died instant
ly. This incident kicked up the
biggest furor throughout the
state in the history of the Uni
versity, and was the deciding
factor in President Venable's
resignation as President of the
University in 1914. Very strict
regulations against hazing
were put into force from then
on.
The School of Medicine was
established in 1879. It was a
private school but the basic
sciences were taught by the
University. In 18S8 it was ad
mitted to the Association of
American Medical Colleges. It
was a two-year school until
the early 1950's when it was
succeeded by the four - year
school.

Lots of people do. Some right on your
campus. And for rationale, they point an
accusing finger at business and say it lacks
"social commitment."
Social commitment? We wish they could
visit our Kearny, N. J. plant, where we
make cable and apparatus for your Bell
telephone company. But we have time for
other thoughts, other talents.
Like the situation in nearby Newark.
With civic and business leaders, we be
gan buzzing with ideas. "Let's teach higher
skills to some of the un-employed and
under-employed. Say, machine shop prac
tice. They could qualify for jobs that are
going begging -and help themselves as
well."
We lent our tool-and-die shop, , eve
nings We found volunteer instructors. A
community group screened applicants.
Another supplied hand tools. The Boys
Club donated classroom facilities. Another
company sent more instructors.
Some 70 trainees enrolled. Their incen
tive? Self-improvement. Results to date?
New people at better jobs. Happier.
And this is only one of dozens of social
minded projects at Western Electric plants
across the country, where our first job is
making communications equipment for the
Bell System.
So, you don't give up ideals when you
graduate. If anything, at a company like,
say, Western Electric, you add to them.
And it's not just a theory. It's practice.
Satisfying. Come on and find out. And
watch a feathered cliche fly out the window.

The School of Law had been
established bv William Home
Battle in 1845 as a private law
school, not connected with the
University. The school became
wholly integrated Dart of the
University in 1894, under
Judge Manning.
Like the school of Medicine,
the School of Pharmacy was
not an integrated part of th
University. In 1897 the School
of Pharmacy was organized
under President Alderman.
Graduate School was insti
tuted in 1876, on a very small
scale.
The first Honorary Degree
was conferred on General Wil
liam Richardson Davie, the
founder of the University, in
1811. It took the University
over a hundred years to get
around to naming a building
for General Davie, Davie Hall
in 1908.
It was not until President Al
derman's administration, that
the first women were admit
ted. In 1897. five young wom
en were admitted to graduate
school.
No housing was provided on
the campus for women. They
lived in boarding houses. Miss
Alice Jones, class of 1898, who
died three years ago in her
95th year, lived in boarding
house where the Post Office
now stands. She never tired
of talking about those days,
when she wore high-buttoned
shoes, a long black skirt.
gloves, and hat with veil, to
classes every day.
The bovs were violently op
posed to the admission of wo
men to their midst. Now their
complaint is that thefe are not
enough girls at the University,
the competition is too keen.
President Edward Kidder
Graham was a strong advo
cate that undergraduate wom
en be admitted. He died be
fore the recommendation was
acted unon. But women were
admitted in the next adminis
tration, that of President
Chase. Spencer Dorm was
built in 1925 to house the ever
increasing number of coeds.
In 1831, President Battle ob
serves in his History of the
University. the fraternities
were on the campus by per
mission of the Trustees. A
member of the class of 1842
said that the fraternities ex
isted sub rosa when he was
a student. All the fraternities
closed for the Civil War.
In 1875, and again in 1877,
the fraternities petitioned the
Trustees for permission to re
open the Fraternities. The pe
tition was denied on the
grounds that the state was too
poor from the ravages of the
War for such luxuries.
In 1885 the Trustees granted
the admission of all Greek So
cieties "on condition that they
would provide the faculty with
the names of their members
and wTould pledge themselves
not to use intoxicating liquors
at any banquet given in Chap
el Hill."
Fraternity Row was the
street running behind Hill Hall.
It consisted of ten frame build
ings. In the early morning hours
of January 9, 1919, four of the
buildings, the Sigma Nu, SAE,
Phi Kappa Phi, and DKE
houses were wiped out by fire.
In order to avoid future fire
hazards, the University bought
the property on Columbia
Street, and exchanged these
lots for the lets on Fraternity
Row. The entire court on Co
lumbia Street was completed
in October 1925, and a new
court of three buildings were
completed on Cameron Ave
nue by 1931.
Between 1837-1843, under
President Swain, rock walls
were built to replace the un
sightly rail fences, which were
always falling down, letting
the villagers' cows wander
through the campus. The first
rock walls had no cement to
hold them together, and after
time and weather, they be
came dilapidated. In the pres
ent century, the rock walls
have been rebuilt with a ce
ment center. Many townspeo
ple followed the example of the
University and enclosed their
yards with rock walls.

In Today's Fast Moving "World ....
where 9 out of every 10 scientists who ever lived, are still alive,
where more scientific progress is made in 1 day than was made in
the whole world in the first 1000 years of the Christian era . . .
where more new technical information has been published in the last
15 years than in the previous 15,000 years fast and efficient
reading is necessary to keep mankind alive and free in this most
dangerous of all ages !
Fast and efficient reading is not new. Julius Caesar, Theodore
vJioosevelt, John Kennedy, John Stuart Mill and many others read
this way. . . What IS new is Mrs. Wood's unique methods of
teaching Reading- Dynamics skills. Today, thanks to her pioneering
work over many years, not just the fortunate few but nearly every
one can increase his reading efficiency 300, 500, 1000, or even
more. So sure are we of this that we make the following ....

"I must say that this is one of the
most useful education experiences
I have ever had. It certainly com
pares favorably with the experi
ence I've had at Yale and Har
vard." U. S. Senator Wm. Proxmire
"It is my opinion that if these
techniques were instituted in the
public and private schools of our
country, it would he the greatest
single step which we could take
in educational progress."
U. S. Senator Herman Talma de
In North Carolina
I now have the ability to read a
great many more books. I can
easily read two average length
books in an evening. I previously
took two conventional reading
courses and made no significant
improvement. Based on beginning
and end tests, my rate increased
five fold with improved compre
hension. Lt. Col. Louis Brooks,
U. S. Marines Set
What She Said:
I can do my homework in half the
time and know it better than I
would have before. Yet, you get
just as much out of the literary
style as you would the old way.
You get more of an overall picture
instead of having the story come
into your mind in bits and pieces.
High School Student
Virsinia Marshall Sutton.
What Her Mother Said:
I want to express my thanks for
all you have done for Jinny. Be
fore taking your course, she was
having trouble in her schoolwork,
although she had a high I.Q. and
was very well-read. No one was
able to diagnose her trouble as
slow reading for she loved to read
and had an extensive vocabulary.
Finally, as a last resort, we de
cided to try your reading course,
what a miracle it proved to be!
Her reading rate came up from
250 w.pjn. to 5,281 w.p.m. and she
has been on the Honor Roll af
school ever since. It was a lucky
day Indeed when she enrolled In
your course.
Thank you again and now I am
going to try Reading Dynamics
myself and see if I can match
Jinny's fabulous record.
Mrs. Marshall Sutton, Mother
What Her motner Said Later: .
I have not only greatly increased
my reading speed but my compre
hension as well. I have also learn
ed to study and comprehend tech
nical material at a rate I would
have believed impossible to
achieve.
Mrs. Marshall Sutton
Conventional rapid reading cours
es aspire to 450-600 words per
minute. Most Reading Dynamics
graduates can read between 1,000
and 3,000 words per minute, and
many go even higher.

We guarantee to increase the reading efficiency of each student
AT LEAST 3 times with good comprehension. We will refund the
entire tuition to any student who, after completing minimum class
and study requirements does not at least triple his reading efficiency
as measured by our beginning and ending tests.
