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 Tar Heel voices Ringing clear and true. Singing Carolina’s praises. Shouting N.C.U.! Hail to the brightest star of all! Clear its radiance shine!

But from Orville and Wilbur’s first flight to our basketball teams, North Carolina takes pride in being first. And as we introduced the idea of the North Carolina Science Festival, North Carolina responded enthusiastically. From elementary school students to transnational corporations, we found partners and supporters around every corner and an 413 174 appetite for science that heartened us. individual events unique events First, our state’s business community immediately saw (including repeat sessions) the Festival’s value and provided sponsorship dollars that helped us deliver a high-quality program of events. Without our sponsors, we would not have been able to present the Festival. All of our sponsors are very important to us, but 78 111 we think that the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, SAS and Time unique events Warner Cable & News 14 Carolina deserve special recognition program partners for having the faith in our vision to become Platinum Sponsors in the Piedmont in the very first year.

  • Facilities Inventory and Utilization Study 2010
    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA HIGHER EDUCATION COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROGRAM FACILITIES INVENTORY AND UTILIZATION STUDY 2010 School of Pharmacy, Elizabeth City State University HIGHER EDUCATION COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROGRAM FACILITIES INVENTORY AND UTILIZATION STUDY FALL OF 2010 For THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FORTY-FOURTH EDITION THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Facilities Space Utilization and Analysis Chapel Hill, North Carolina September 2011 School of Pharmacy Complex Elizabeth City State University (Cover Page) Starting in fall 2010, pharmacy students at the Elizabeth City site began taking their classes in a new 52,500 square foot building located at the west entrance to the ECSU campus. This $21.9 million, three story facility, whose architecture was inspired by the idea of an apothecary chest, overlooks an artificial pond and contains classrooms and labs organized around a two-story atrium. The first floor contains general science labs, a library, and a drug information center, while the second floor houses the IV simulation lab and the compounding lab. The third floor features three research labs for biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry, as well as a computer lab. Other classrooms, meeting rooms, and offices are distributed throughout the building to create a more collaborative environment for students, faculty, and staff. In the last decade, 45 of North Carolina’s 100 counties did not increase their supply of pharmacists rapidly enough to keep pace with population growth. Due to a need for more pharmacists in eastern North Carolina, the General Assembly allocated funds in 2004 for a new pharmacy program at Elizabeth City State University to be taught in conjunction with faculty located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

  • The Self-Memorialization of John Motley Morehead Iii
    A CRAFTED LEGACY: THE SELF-MEMORIALIZATION OF JOHN MOTLEY MOREHEAD III Lindsay E. Oliver A senior honors thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of American Studies in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved By: ABSTRACT Lindsay E. Oliver: A Crafted Legacy: The Self-Memorialization of John Motley Morehead III (Under the direction of Timothy Marr) This paper explores the self-memorialization project of John Motley Morehead III (1870- 1965) through his benefactions to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 1930s through 1950s. An examination of the conception and execution of the Morehead- Patterson Bell Tower, Morehead Planetarium and Sundial, and Morehead-Cain Foundation reveals how Morehead sought to carefully engrave his name and memory into both the built landscape and the reputation of the University to promote a legacy of prestige through his own memory. This paper also examines relevant biographical details drawn from Morehead’s personal papers, which have not previously been subject to academic examination, and offers a critical review of Morehead’s legacy and contributions to the University as well as situates them within the philanthropic context of this period. Finally, it explores the implications of Morehead’s self-memorialization project for contemporary philanthropy as a means of establishing legacy. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the encouragement and unrelenting positivity of my advisor, Tim Marr, to whom I extend my utmost gratitude for guiding me through this process, reading my drafts, sending Melville quotations, and propelling me to be a better writer and student.

Without these, we carom blindly from decision to decision, without any consensus on whom or what we want to be.” —Michael Collins, Planning Board Member Initiation of the New Comprehensive Plan – A Different Approach In order to set a course for the future and not to “carom blindly from decision to decision,” the Chapel Hill Mayor and Town Council established the development of a new comprehensive plan as the community’s preeminent goal for 2011-2012. The Town Council began by appointing an Initiating Committee which was comprised of community members who represented a diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints. The Initiating Committee designed a process for creating the new comprehensive plan that underlined the importance of broadly including all community members in the visioning and decision-making process. To provide leadership for the development of the new comprehensive plan, the Initiating Committee determined that two co-chairs were needed. George Cianciolo and Rosemary Waldorf accepted this charge and worked enthusiastically, overseeing the process. They stayed true to the inclusionary goals of the Initiating Committee and encouraged all participants to create a plan that would be truly useful to the Mayor, Town Council, Town staff, and the community.
