  • 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.

  • Old Chapel Hill Cemetery, History and Burial Records
    THE OLD CHAPEL HILL CEMETERY Est. 1798 CHAPEL HILL NORTH CAROLINA History of the Cemetery The Old Chapel Hill Cemetery lies in the heart of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The site was part of a land grant given by the State of North Carolina in 1796 to develop the University of North Carolina, and the cemetery originally served as a final resting place for University faculty and students. The University’s Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies were the first to establish burial plots. The earliest recorded burial, in 1798, was that of 19 year old George Clarke, although the stone marking his grave dates from the mid-19th century. Several monuments in the Di and Phi enclosures are the work of noted 19th century stonecarver George Lauder of Fayetteville. Other monuments were carved by British stonemasons originally hired to construct Raleigh’s state capitol in 1840. The Cemetery was enclosed in 1835 by a rock wall, constructed at a cost of $64.41. Dr. Joseph Caldwell, the first person officially titled President of the University of North Carolina, was interred here in 1835, but in 1846 was removed to a monument erected on McCorkle Place on the main campus. At that time, University trustees proposed creating a new cemetery on McCorkle Place, but this did not come to fruition. Instead, the trustees officially changed the name of the old cemetery to the “College Graveyard”, but it continued to be called the “Village Cemetery” by most residents. There were no black church cemeteries in Chapel Hill in the 18th and early 19th centuries; consequently, the slaves of the village were buried in a segregated section of the Cemetery (Sections A and B), separated from the other sections (I, II, III and IV) by a low rock wall, which still stands.
