The student body was very small at that time and completely ruled by the Trustees. However, short ly before the Civil War when President Van Buren visited the campus the University was at its height with a student body second only to Yale, Morrison told the group. , "But when Sherman marched through Chapel llill in 1865, the classes took holidays and the cavalry took prizes the Univer sity president's daughter, .who married Union officer Smith B. Atkins," laughed the speaker. "She married the boy righi heiC in Chapel Hill. But not without a! lot of student complaint," added Morrison.
