Just why such is the case is not so easily deter- mined. Of course, like all young editors, we are proud of our achievement and justly so, we think. We have encountered all the difficulties incident to issuing the first number of such a publication. Consequently we think we are somewhat wiser than we were before. We know that we have more patience, and our stock of cheek, too, has been greatly increased. So without any further comment we wish to present the Hellenian to the college world • and trust that our labor may meet with the approval of all who feel a sincere interest in colleo^e work.

'90, Poet. Chas. a. Rankin, Marshal. CLASS COLOR, ' PURPLE. History of '90. On August 26th, 1886, glorious old '90 was ushered into existence. Our Freshman class, though a little larger than usual, numbering seventy-four, was not an exception to the ' ' ' ' rule, and ' greenness ' and ' self-conceit ' were the chief characteristics. Shortly after our arrival we were some- what shaken up by the earthquake, but it was not long before we were settled again and each man "began" to do some little studying. On October loth, 1886, our class- negroes, and mate, J. A. Freeze, was brutally murdered by in March, 1887, we lost another member, H. A. Wilson, by pneumonia. Commencement soon came and each one of us pictured in our mind's eye the mighty Soph, of '88. But alas! the great honor which we had been so long look- ing forward to seemed to be almost nothing, and we soon came to the* wise conclusion that the Soph, was not as big a man as the Fresh, imagined him. During this year the monotony was only broken by the withdrawal of the Phi. members. Yes, '88 had come and was fast going awa}'. Vacation came, and after crushing all the damsels' hearts we came back with our Junior dignity on us. The Com- mencemenc of '89 was indeed a glorious one. It being the Centennial Anniversary of the establishment of the Univer- sity, our ahnnni flocked from all parts of the country and some of the old ones said it reminded them of ante-beUinn times. Now we are Seniors. The seventy-four Freshmen, besides additions in the Soph., Junior and Senior years, have dwindled down to twenty. Some have died, some have voluntarily left, the "climate" did not suit others, and the "Faculty deemed it best that others should not return." We are few in number but "still in the ring." We are, as a rule, quite as dignified as the average Senior class, thouo:h sometimes we come off of our hio^h roost and make night hideous with "Where did you get that Hat?" and "Down went McGinty." Our class has contained all specimens of humanity—the Y. M. C. A. man and the sinner, the temperance man and the toper, the man who never "dirties" his lily-white hands with cards, and he that "throws the papers" with a blanket on the table to the "wee hours o' midnight." We have caused the Faculty little » trouble and have behaved ourselves well during our college course. '90's men stand well in their studies and in June we will show as fine an average as the great majority of our predecessors. During our connection with the University many changes in the Faculty have occurred. Profs. Henry, Phillips and Atkinson have gone to other institutions and in business. Dr. Chas. Phillips, emeritus Professor of Mathematics, died in the spring of '89. Prof Ralph Graves died in the sum- mer of '89, and Prof. William Cain now fills the chair of Mathematics in the University. Our time is nearly out and ere long, only a few weeks, we will, most of us, sever our connections with the dear 8 old U. N. C. forever. Sadness is stamped on our brows, for now we trulv realize that our colleg^e davs have been our happiest. We have become attached to these classic walks and halls and we will bid them adieu with tears in our eyes. We are about to put on the true Armor of Life and enter this wide, wide world for ourselves. Let each one of us remember that we are members of '90, and what- soever we do, whether it be good or evil, will reflect credit or discredit upon our class. Aim high if you fall low. Let " Perseverence and Energy" be your motto and watch- word. And in all thy ways think of your Alma Mater and strive to help her in every way. And now to old U. N. C. we bid a lasting farewell, always wishing her a long life and prosperity. Exit '90. J. D. B., Jr. "^^n : : €las0 of *9i. MOTTO ''Ad Astra per Aspera.''

Hi^^ory of the ©U55 of '91. It is no easy task to write the history of the class of 1891 of the University of North Carolina. Its history is not a story of brilliant conquests—it is not a story of the achievements of genius, but rather of results attained by hard work and determination. Our cla.ss numbers no eeniuses in its ranks. We have not startled colleo-e bv the hio^h averao^es of our leaders, but we have shown more genuine progressiveness, more class and college spirit than any class that has entered this institution for years. From our birth—which occurred August 25, 1887—we have been animated by a spirit of progressive conservatism. We have always been ready to take any step forward, if it seemed wise to us. II —— - During our Fresh, year—to begin at the beginning nothing of importance happened to disturb the even tenor of our way. At Commencement we were represented by two marshals —Batchelor and Green, B. In the Phi. Society, Bryan won Declaimer's Medal. As Sophomores, we treated the Fresh, with consideration. We brought back the time-honored "water-melon treat" —which degenerate classes had allowed to be forgotten and our hearts were made glad with the hearts of the melons, while the poor Fresh, were given only the rinds, and these, to be rendered eatable, must first be deprived of rapid whirlings and twists through the air.

Green PREFACE Dr. Louis Round Wilson originally suggested the idea of a centennial history of the Chapel Hill Methodist Church in a letter to the pastor, the Reverend Henry G. Ruark, on July 6, 1949. After due consideration the minister appointed a com- mittee to study the matter and to formulate plans for a history. The committee members were Mrs. Hope S. Chamberlain, Fletcher M. Green, Mrs. Guy B. Johnson, Edgar W. Knight, Mrs. Harold G. McCurdy, Mrs. Walter Patten, Mrs. William Whatley Pierson, Mrs. Marvin H. Stacy, and Dr. Louis R. Wilson, chairman. The commilttee adopted a tentative outline and apportioned the work of gathering data among its members. Later Dr. Wilson resigned as chairman and was succeeded by Fletcher M. Green. Others of the group resigned from the committee. Finally, after the data were gathered, Mrs. Pierson, Dr. Green, Dr. Knight, and Dr. Wilson were appointed to write the history.

    JAMES PATRICK MCCARTHY, JR. Commerce and College

    JAMES PATRICK MCCARTHY, JR. Commerce and College: State Higher Education and Economic Development in North Carolina and Georgia, 1850-1890 (Under the Direction of EMORY M. THOMAS) From 1850 to 1890, the Universities of Georgia and North Carolina undertook significant structural and curricular reform in an effort to hasten the economic development of their states and region. Led by trustee William Mitchell, the University of Georgia adopted a reform plan in the 1850s that was both comprehensive and far-reaching. The plan did not survive the Civil War, but Mitchell and his supporters used it as their guide in expanding the university in the 1860s, obtaining the Morrill Land Grant funds in the 1870s, and continuing to expand and diversify the university’s offerings against opposition in the 1880s. The trustees and faculty at the University of North Carolina began more modest reforms in the 1850s that survived the war. Deterred considerably by Reconstruction, Kemp Battle and the trustees grew the university’s curriculum immensely in the late 1870s and early 1880s, alongside other state institutions designed to improve the economy through education. The Watauga Club and the North Carolina Farmer’s Alliance took the Morrill Funds away from the university, but it had already taken the rough form of a modern university and consequently become a font of Southern Progressivism. The shifting educational policies and practices at these two universities between 1850 and 1890 reveal several things about these schools and Southern higher education. Substantial curricular reforms began quite early; they continued through the Civil War, Reconstruction and beyond; and they were just as diverse and comprehensive as reforms elsewhere in the nation.

CHAPMAN A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: James L. Leloudis Jerma A. Jackson Reginald Hildebrand Gerald Horne Timothy B. Tyson ” 2006 JOHN K. CHAPMAN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JOHN K. CHAPMAN: Black Freedom and the University of North Carolina, 1793-1960 (Under the direction of James L. Leloudis) Recent histories of the University of North Carolina trivialize the institution’s support for white supremacy during slavery, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow, while denying that this unjust past affects the university today. The celebratory lens also filters out African American contributions to the university. In fact, most credit for UNC’s increased diversity is due to the struggles of African Americans and other traditionally disenfranchised groups for equal rights. During both the 1860s and the1960s, black freedom movements promoted norms of democratic citizenship and institutional responsibility that challenged the university to become more honest, more inclusive, and more just. By censoring this historical viewpoint, previous scholarship has contributed to a culture of denial and racial historical amnesia that heralds UNC as the “University of the People,” without seriously engaging questions of justice in the past or the present. This dissertation demonstrates that before 1865, the gentry used the university to promote the growth of slavery. Following Emancipation, university trustees led the white supremacy campaign to suppress black freedom and Radical Reconstruction.

    Faculty Government at Chapel Hill

    1 Faculty Government at Chapel Hill The First Two Hundred Years A Brief History By Henry C. Boren Professor of History Emeritus Secretary of the Faculty 1969-1984 Author's Preface I prepared this sketch of the history of faculty government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1993 as part of the work of a faculty subcommittee in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the opening of the University in 1793. I presented an oral summary of the paper as a small part of the program presented in a special, anniversary meeting of the General Faculty in November of that year. This is my work--with informational assistance from others, to be sure--but it is not as complete in matters of the 1990's as it was originally intended to be. Others on the committee were to have furnished material relating to those years, but did not, mostly because of the pressure to finish the document by the year of the bicentennial celebration. I felt that the oral presentation in the special bicentennial meeting of the General Faculty came close to fulfilling my own commitment, but at length I felt compelled to do a bit more. A final editing and the addition of the skimpy last three paragraphs are my way of bringing this project to a conclusion of sorts. It is worth noting that the faculty of the University at Chapel Hill has always had a healthy and significant role in the governance of the institution. It is probably accurate to say this faculty even now, when the size and complexity of the structure necessarily restricts its participation in governance of the University as a whole, has more authority and exercises more influence on matters central to the University's mission than do most faculties in comparable state institutions.
