Carolina Football Plays Its Home Games at Kenan Memorial Stadium North CaroliNa Football • KENAN STADIUM - HOME OF THE TAR HEELS Stadium. The football center is named in honor of the late Frank H. Kenan, one of the school’s most generous benefactors. Kenan was a Durham resident and chief executive officer of Kenan Transport Company in Chapel Hill. He passed away at age 83 in 1996. Kenan, a 1935 Carolina graduate, was the great-great- grandson of General James Kenan, a member of the University’s founding board of trustees. An Atlanta native, Kenan had a tremendous impact on the growth of the University. He served on many campus boards, including the Board of Visitors and the Educational Foundation Board of Directors.

    Huiberts s4502612/ 1 Huiberts s4502612/ 2 Abstract The electronic sports (esports) market is a growing global market that has peaked the interest of American higher education insitutions. Though the debate about esports’ elegibility of being an actual sport is still ongoing, some brave American universities and students have embraced the possibility of esports in a collegiate setting, whether as a student run-organization or a varsity sport. The development of esports in a collegiate setting is a rapid one and without a proper map of the current status of the phenomenon much potential is, especially as a marketing tool for universities is lost. This thesis aims to explore the potential role of esports in the process of the reconfiguration and intergration of American public and non-profit institutions of higher education into the dominant knowledge-based economy. By employing an academic capitalist perspective and analysing the functions within higher education marketization that the collegiate American football programs and collegiate League of Legends programs (LoL) have developed due to their existence in the changing American society. By doing this, the current study examines wether the adoption of the new, young branch of sports called esports into the higher education athletics department is one that is logical and profitable from a marketing perspective. Does this young newcomer have what it takes to take the stage among the champions of the past?

  • 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.

Chair: John Rury Suzanne Rice Ebenezer Obadare David Roediger Date Defended: 16 May 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Howard Graham certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium Chair: John Rury Date Approved: 26 July 2019 iii Abstract The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium, is a meditation over the college football stadium movement of the post-World War I era. The study incorporates higher education history, intellectual and social history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, African and African American history, Indigenous Nations history, whiteness studies, geography, sports history, and political philosophy. This dissertation seeks to establish the social and political backgrounds that inform the stadium movement of the 1920s. The aim is to understand the factors that influenced how KU’s Memorial Stadium (1921) was conceptualized, completed and subsequently. It is a conceptual intervention focused on stadium space and use, and contributes to the scholarship of higher education and sport. iv Acknowledgements I wish to thank my wife, Amanda, and our children, Russell and Ruby, for their support that made this dissertation possible. If there were a dedication, it would be for Amanda who sacrifices every day for our family and me.
