  • The North Carolina Botanical Garden at 50
    A Conservation Garden: The North Carolina Botanical Garden at 50 (1966-2016) Volume I Researched, compiled, and written by the North Carolina Botanical Garden Greenbriers February 2019 To the visionaries who came before us, the pragmatists who carried the vision forward, and the allies yet to come; and to past, present, and future seekers who find inspiration, encouragement, and solace at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. FOREWORD One would be hard pressed to walk into any botanical garden in the world and come across a compendium of historical information as complete as this one. What is even more amazing is that this compilation of the Garden’s 50-year history was authored by volunteers! Calling themselves the Greenbriers, this dedicated group of 12, under the able leadership of Joanne Lott, has spent countless hours researching, fact checking, and writing the definitive guide to the first 50 years of the North Carolina Botanical Garden. As you peruse Volume I from the Introduction to the Reference Timeline, perhaps even delve into the Volume II appendices, you will quickly come to the realization that this history goes much deeper than the last 50 years. Indeed, the story of the North Carolina Botanical Garden is the botanical legacy of the University of North Carolina, the nation’s oldest public university. Like the entangling Greenbrier vine, the two have been intertwined and inseparable since 1903 when the University’s first professor of botany, William Chambers Coker, established a teaching collection of trees and shrubs on campus which later became the Coker Arboretum. The Garden has many other branches that can trace their origin to the Coker legacy, including Battle Park, the UNC Herbarium, the Coker Pinetum, and The Rocks at the Coker/Burns estate.

  • A Model for Folk Theatre the Carolina Playmakers
    A Model for Folk Theatre The Carolina Playmakers by Cecelia Moore, Special Assistant to the Chancellor and University Historian University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2014 Gladys Hall Coates University History Lecture Good evening. It is an honor to give the Coates Lecture on University History. In 2004, I was in the audience when Jim Leloudis delivered the inaugural Lecture, and I remember wondering if I would ever get to do something as cool as that. Thanks to the support of many people, including Jim — who was my doctoral advisor — I got my chance. And that anecdote tells you something about how nerdy historians generally are. Thank you to Bob Anthony for inviting me to speak. Throughout my graduate studies at NC State and here, I became well acquainted with the people of Wilson Library and I owe a great deal to their professional skills and unflagging enthusiasm. For those of you who do not regularly read academic books, you should know that their names appear in hundreds of acknowledgement sections of books across a range of subjects, and that they are known literally around the world for what they do. I also have to give credit to the people in the Department of Dramatic Art and PlayMakers Repertory, and to the Carolina Playmakers I met over the years; they made me want to learn more about this piece of American theatre. Even before I knew I would return to school to study history, I was the designated person at PlayMakers who "liked all that old stuff" and would listen to the stories of former Playmakers who dropped in.
