There are so many stories to tell. Many of you know the year was full of significant change, challenge, and accomplishment. At times the campus community—Morehead-Cains included—disagreed on the best path forward. But there has been a constant: a commitment to each other and the values our community shares. Even in trying times for our University, Morehead-Cains are dedicated to leading with empathy and optimism. We stand up for what we believe in, but we also learn from others. These values bond us together but can take many different forms in practice. Take this year for example. Ashton Martin ’20 won the race for student body president with a platform focused on academic affairs and student wellness. Raymond Tu ’21 became co-president of the Campus Y with a promise to foster cross-campus collaboration between organizations. Alice Huang ’16 and Emily Venturi ’18 received the prestigious Schwarzman Scholarship for study in China. Habitat for Humanity CEO Jonathan Reckford ’84 delivered a stirring commencement address for the University. And Ned Sharpless ’88 first took charge of the National Cancer Institute before taking over as acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. These are but a few examples of scholars and alumni answering the call of North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper ’79. During October’s best-attended Morehead-Cain Alumni Forum in history, Governor Cooper called on each of us to serve our communities. To lead. To help others. To better ourselves and those around us. Many of us find it a promise worth making and keeping. Within the Program, we made further tweaks to the interview process and selection cycle designed to increase validity and reduce bias. We expanded summer enrichment and study abroad opportunities for current scholars. And we’re striving to support your love of lifelong learning and your wish to remain connected with each other long after you leave Carolina. How? In addition to the Alumni Forum, we helped alumni host events in Chicago, Denver, Nashville, Seattle, Toronto, and Washington, DC. Those gatherings are only the beginning. Next spring we will hold the first West-Coast Morehead-Cain Alumni Symposium. I hope to see many of you there in San Francisco; it will be a special weekend rivaled only by the Alumni Forum. In the coming year, we plan to support regional groups in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and more. As we close this academic year, we say thank you to Morehead-Cain Foundation trustee Peggy Weaver. Peggy was key to the generous, transformative gift from the Gordon and Mary Cain Foundation in 2007. Her term as a trustee has come to an end, but I will be forever grateful for her support and her lasting impact on the Program. We are pleased to welcome Rachel Mazyck Pfeifer ’02 as our new trustee. The Morehead-Cain community is vibrant and thoughtful, passionate and adaptable. Alumni and scholars leave me in awe every day. The next time you visit Chapel Hill, I hope you’ll stop by the Foundation and see for yourself all the incredible things happening here. Warmly, Charles E. Lovelace, Jr. ’77 Executive Director 1 MOREHEAD-CAIN FOUNDATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mr. David C. Wright, III ’80 Mr. G. Kennedy Thompson ’73 Ms. Lucy Hanes Chatham Mr. W.

Sullivan ’85 Ms. Margaret W. Weaver Ms. Pearlynn G. Houck Houston, Texas Park City, Utah Houston, Texas General Counsel Charlotte, North Carolina 3 NOVEMBER 19, 2018 The Morehead-Cain community held its third Day of Giving on November 19, 2018—a one-day giving blitz that inspired alumni and friends around the world and celebrated the Program’s founding in 1945. From in-person visits to social media posts that reached tens of thousands of people, the Morehead-Cain family spent the day sharing their stories of inspiration and gratitude. Your support put the Program in position to reach new heights by year’s end. You started the day at 7 percent alumni participation for the academic year and ended at 22 percent once all gifts were processed. In all, 508 alumni made gifts and met $75,000 in additional challenges. Thank you! MARK YOUR CALENDARS for the 2019 Day of Giving: Monday, November 25. We’re doing it TOGETHER, again. Bigger than ever—1,000 donors. We need your help to reach our ambitious goal! 4 YEAR IN REVIEW 2018– 2019 5 ARE YOU A MOREHEAD-CAIN PARTNER? Morehead-Cain Partner is a relatively new designation that recognizes and honors the loyal commitment of many of our Morehead-Cain Alumni. The Partner designation came about after many years of having Morehead-Cain Alumni ask how they can best support the Morehead-Cain Program. Several years ago, we began sharing a list of four simple things all alumni can do to ensure the future of the Program: PROMOTE. Please make sure that “Morehead-Cain Scholar” is on your résumé, in your CV, on your LinkedIn profile, and/or in your professional biography. You are the Morehead-Cain legacy. Telling others raises awareness and recognition. We also ask that you commit to keeping your Morehead-Cain Network (MCN) profile up to date so that fellow alumni and scholars can connect with you. CONNECT. Please respond to requests (reasonable ones, of course!) from current scholars or fellow alumni. There is no better way to express gratitude for what others have given you than by sharing advice or offering a connection. Each time this happens, the Morehead-Cain network is strengthened and the lifelong designation of Morehead-Cain gains deeper significance. RECRUIT. Please help recruit future scholars when we call on you with specific needs. For recipients of the scholarship and their parents, no voice is more authentic than yours in representing the value of the Morehead-Cain experience. INVEST. Please make an annual gift to the Morehead-Cain Scholarship Fund (MCSF). Your participation at an appropriate level for you matters deeply, both in the endorsement that it represents and in helping to sustain and enhance the Morehead-Cain Program. The cumulative impact of annual alumni support is transformational—the MCSF provides approximately 20 percent of the Foundation’s annual operating budget. To honor the dedication of all who support the Morehead-Cain Program by agreeing to these four commitments, we are now designating such alumni as Morehead-Cain Partners. So far, 776 Morehead-Cain Alumni have signed up to be Partners. Are you a Morehead-Cain Partner? If so, we thank you for your loyal support! If you already do these four things (or are willing to!), but haven’t signed up to be a Partner yet, please call Emily or Megan at 919-962-1201 to join this important group! 6 I can’t think of any wind beneath my wings that ever was more important than the Morehead-Cain. Maybe the woman I chose to marry. But the scholarship? Wow. What a difference it makes. Wade Smith ’60 | Founding Partner, Tharrington Smith, Raleigh TOGETHER. 2019 Honor Roll of Giving It is with great appreciation that we recognize alumni, scholars, and friends of the Program who made a gift to Morehead-Cain between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019. denotes our Morehead-Cain Partners.

  • JOHN EVELYN and MEDICINE* by C
    JOHN EVELYN AND MEDICINE* by C. D. O'MALLEY JOHN EvELYN has often been described as a virtuoso in the seventeenth-century meaning of that word, and if it be recalled that the Earl of Arundel, the greatest of the virtuosi was his patron, that Evelyn was a member of the Royal Society almost from its inception and a diligent attendant of its meetings, which at that time dealt with a wide variety of curiosa and technological as well as scientific problems, that he was a vocal and literary exponent and collector of the odd and the artistic, and a recognized authority on architecture and gardens, he must certainly be classed among the notable virtuosi of his day. But within his multifarious interests and their related activities Evelyn appears to have had a particular regard for medicine, one that transcended the usual concern of those members of his class who did not espouse that subject professionally. Except for somewhat intermittent studies at Oxford, undertaken more as an obligation than because of genuine desire, medicine was the only discipline in which he deliberately took any formal instruction, and throughout the many years covered by his Diary medicine and matters ancillary to it received uncommon attention." Anyone living in the seventeenth century was very much aware of accident, disease, and ever proximate death. It was quite in the order of things that Evelyn, born in 1620, recalled from his fifth year the severe plague in 1625, its high mortality and the fact, as he later wrote, that he himself 'was shortly after so dangerously sick of a Feavor, that (as I have heard), the Physitians despair'd of me' (ii.7).2 He was fourteen years old when his sister Elizabeth died (ii.12), fifteen at the death of his mother, whose four attending physicians were identified by name in the Diary (ii.14-15), and twenty at the time of his father's death (ii.26).

  • Mccorkle PLACE
    CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking.

  • Lessons on Political Speech, Academic Freedom, and University Governance from the New North Carolina
    LESSONS ON POLITICAL SPEECH, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE FROM THE NEW NORTH CAROLINA * Gene Nichol Things don’t always turn out the way we anticipate. Almost two decades ago, I came to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) after a long stint as dean of the law school in Boulder, Colorado. I was enthusiastic about UNC for two reasons. First, I’m a southerner by blood, culture, and temperament. And, for a lot of us, the state of North Carolina had long been regarded as a leading edge, perhaps the leading edge, of progressivism in the American South. To be sure, Carolina’s progressive habits were often timid and halting, and usually exceedingly modest.1 Still, the Tar Heel State was decidedly not to be confused with Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, or my home country, Texas. Frank Porter Graham, Terry Sanford, Bill Friday, Ella Baker, and Julius Chambers had cast a long and ennobling shadow. Second, I have a thing for the University of North Carolina itself. Quite intentionally, I’ve spent my entire academic career–as student, professor, dean, and president–at public universities. I have nothing against the privates. But it has always seemed to me that the crucial democratizing aspirations of higher education in the United States are played out, almost fully, in our great and often ambitious state institutions. And though they have their challenges, the mission of public higher education is a near-perfect one: to bring the illumination and opportunity offered by the lamp of learning to all. Black and white, male and female, rich and poor, rural and urban, high and low, newly arrived and ancient pedigreed–all can, the theory goes, deploy education’s prospects to make the promises of egalitarian democracy real.
