SUNDAY, DECEMBER FOURTEENTH • TWO THOUSAND EIGHT MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR

Dear Graduates:

Congratulations on completing your degree. Dedication and hard work have brought you to this moment. Enjoy it, but also take the opportunity to thank the family and friends who sup- ported you during your journey. I know that they are proud of you, as are all of us at Carolina.

I hope that your Carolina education challenged and inspired you, and that what you learned here in Chapel Hill prepared you to pursue your dreams. Today you join the ranks of Carolina alumni who have gone out into the world and made a difference. We know you will, too.

The University's motto is light and liberty. When you leave Chapel Hill, you carry that light with you, and I hope it will help you transform the future. Nothing thrills us more than seeing our graduates go out and change the world.

At my graduation in 1986, Senior Class President John Kennedy spoke about our prodigious consumption of pizza and cups of coffee. But he also talked about how our Carolina experience would stay with us forever. "Chapel Hill is more than just a place," he said, "it is a state of mind."

No matter where you go, please remember that you have the love of all of us here at

Carolina. Keep us in mind, let us know how we can help, and come back to visit.

Hark the sound!

ALMA MATER

The words of "Hark the Sound," UNC-Chapel Hill's alma mater, were written in 1897 by William Starr Myers,

a graduating senior. The Glee Club director asked Myers to put words to the tune "Amici," and the song was

first performed on June 2,1897, as part of the Glee Club's Commencement performance in Gerrard Hall.

Soon the song was almost forgotten. When a University quartet tried a few years later to remember the

words, they could recollect only the first verse and the chorus of Myers' original version. Two members of the

quartet, Charles S. Mangum and Charles T. Woollen, added two verses to the one they remembered. Mangum

later became a professor in the School of Medicine, and Woollen worked as the University's business manager

and comptroller.

HARK THE SOUND

Hark, the sound of voices

Ringing clear and true,

Singing Carolina's praises,

Shouting N.C.U.!

Hail to the brightest star of all!

Clear its radiance shine!

Carolina, priceless gem,

Receive all praises thine.

THE FIRST CAROLINA DIPLOMA

In September 1796 Carolina student Davie Gillespie began

working with a group of men to determine the Southern

boundary of the United States. His instructors gave Gillespie

a document to carry as proof that he had been a student at

the University of North Carolina. The document, now in

the Library of Congress, was signed by his professors and

ended with the statement, "We thought it proper to give

him this certificate."

The University's first graduating class in 1798 included

Hinton James, the first student to enroll. Seven men received

the first documents that by today's standards can be called

UNC-Chapel Hill diplomas. One of the original diplomas is

in the Southern Historical Collection in Wilson Library.

During the University's early years, commencement at

Carolina was a time for examinations and promotions to

higher classes. There was a commencement, but no degrees awarded and no graduation. Two Thousand Eight Mid-Year Commencement \ 29
