UNC Celebrates
209th Birthday
By Alex Granados
Staff Writer
Saturday marks the 209th birthday of the University
with an annual celebration that reminds students and
alumni of UNC’s humble beginnings.
University Day, first cele
brated in 1877, combines speak
ers and activities to invoke a
spirit of appreciation and com
memoration. The day’s festivi
ties center on Saturday’s cere-
mony, set for 9:30 a.m. in Hill Hall auditorium.
Although most of the events are planned for Saturday,
the celebration really starts a day earlier.
Anew addition to the School of Pharmacy will be
unveiled with a ceremony today. The building will be
called Banks D. Kerr Hall.

thing that happened to the University,” said Matt
Kupec, vice chancellor of University advancement
Although $l.B billion is the goal expected to be
announced at 12:30 p.m. in McCorkle Place,
Kupec and Fulton said they believe the campaign
definitely will exceed that goal.
“We expect to raise $2 billion, but it is more
realistic at this time to set it at about a billion
eight,” Fulton said earlier in the week.
Kupec said private funds could be a key factor
in positioning UNC as the leading public univer
sity. The eight-year campaign will end July 1,2007.

Historic family names like Kenan, Morehead and Wilson are found scattered across the UNC campus.
University Day to Celebrate
UNC's Distinguished Founders
This past week, researchers delved into the wealth of infor
mation found in the Wilson Library.
Schoolchildren took buses to the Morehead Planetarium
for class trips.
And Saturday, people will head to the Kenan Stadium to watch
the Tar Heels play football once again.
As students, faculty and community members walk through the
campus each day, they pass names on build
ings - names of the individuals and families
who have made major contributions to the
University.
This weekend, UNC will celebrate its 209th
birthday, commemorating years of academic
excellence since the University opened its
doors as the first public university in the
nation.
In 1901, Louis Round Wilson launched one
of the South’s first library science programs at
his alma mater.
Wilson eventually became a professor at
UNC and served as director of the Division of
Extension from 1912-21.
He helped obtain $5 million dollars in pri
vate donations to expand the overcrowded
University in 1920.
From 1915-32, Wilson also served on the Faculty Advisory
Committee and participated in planning the Carnegie Library
(now Hill Hall), Swain Hall, Graham Memorial and University
Methodist Church.
“He knew everybody connected with the University,” said
William S. Powell, retired curator of the Wilson Library. “People
would come to him for advice.”

at a public university.
“We are very fortunate at this university to have
incredible support from the state, but in tough
times there are a lot of strains,” Kupec said. “We
know we’ve got to step it up.... The thing that can
drive us to excellence is private money.”
Since the campaign began it has averaged $22.3
million of committed funds each month. If the cam
paign averages only S2O million a month for its
remainder, $1.99 billion will be raised by July 1,2007.
The multiyear campaign began July 1, 1999,
with an initial goal of at least $1.5 billion. Officials
were originally going to announce the final goal
last October, but after the events of Sept. 11, they

decided to delay the announcement.
Fulton said that as the campaign goes on, it is like
ly the goal will be raised again. “It could increase,
and we are looking to do that. We are all confident
that the economy can bounce back,” Fulton said.
After today Carolina First will attempt to target
all UNC alumni for donations in its public phase.
Since its quiet phase began, the campaign has
raised $B6l million, mainly by targeting large
donors, said Speed Hallman, director of develop
ment communication.
Hallman said organizers took the extra time to

In 1932, Wilson left UNC for the University of Chicago, where
he taught future librarians for 10 years.
In 1942, he returned to Chapel Hill and worked as a professor
of library administration.
UNC named the Louis Round Wilson Library for him in
1965.
“Wilson used to come in my office and chat -1 felt like I knew
everybody from the past 100 years,” Powell
said.
“He was the heart and soul of the library.”
Like Wilson, the Morehead family has
strived for generations to strengthen the
University’s resources.
Gov. John Motley Morehead is called “the
father of modem North Carolina.” He graduat
ed from UNC in 1817 and served as a member
of the UNC Board of Tmstees for 38 years. He
also established and served as the first presi
dent of the Alumni Association.
One hundred years later, his grandson John
Motley Morehead 111 followed in his footsteps
and served as Alumni Association president and
donated funds to build the Bell Tower, the
Morehead Building and the Morehead
Planetarium.
Perhaps most importandy he established the John Modey
Morehead Foundation, an organization whose mission is, accord
ing to its Web site, “to sustain and enhance the excellence of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.”

Universities don't
fail to meet goals
By Elyse Ash burn

Senior Writers
UNC officially will embark today on
what University officials claim is an
“ambitious” and “aggressive” fund-rais
ing campaign, but experts indicate that
the school’s $l.B billion goal likely is a
conservative benchmark.
The philosophy behind the cam
paign goal-setting process is largely sub
jective, but fund-raising experts say uni
versities tend to err on the side of cau
tion when setting goals.
“These are just minimum levels of
success,” said Robert Carter, president
and CEO of Ketchum Inc., a consulting
firm based in Pittsburgh and Dallas that
advises colleges on fund-raising activities.
“No university has ever failed to
reach its goal - I think that says it all.”
If anything, Carter said, “mega-fund
raisers” such as UNC intentionally set
their goals lower so they can boast
when they overshoot them.
