The indoor/outdoor facili- ty is adjacent to the A.E. Finley Golf Course on N.C. Highway 54 in Chapel Hill. The facility is named for Ceasar Cone, II, a 1928 alumnus of the University who played tennis at Carolina and was a great benefactor of the school. The center also bears the name of John Kenfield, the leg- endary Tar Heel men’s tennis coach who had a sterling record of 434- 30-2 from 1928-55. Kenfield’s teams won 15 Southern Conference and two Atlantic Coast Conference team championships during his tenure. He coached the likes of Bitsy Grant, Wilmer Hines and Vic Seixas at UNC, and his 1948 team finished third in the country. Kenfield was Carolina’s first-ever tennis coach, and he took over the reins of the UNC team in time to coach Cone in his senior season in 1928.

IAN 2004 OLYMP GAN VINCE CARTER SHALANE FLANA • The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the nation’s first state university to open its doors and the only public university to award degrees in the 18th century.

The cornerstone was laid for Old East, the nation’s first state university building, Oct. 12, 1793. Hinton James, the first student, arrived from Wilmington, N.C., Feb. 12, 1795.

• The 729-acre central campus includes the two oldest state university buildings, Old East and Person Hall. Old East and Playmakers Theatre, an 1852 Greek-revival building, are National Historic Landmarks. Today, the campus is under- going an unprecedented physical transformation made possible in part by North Carolinians’ overwhelming approval of the $3.1 billion bond referendum for higher education.

• Recently completed projects include the renovation of Memorial Hall, which anchors the university’s planned arts common and is now a comfortable, ele- gant venue for the performing arts; the Rams Head Center, a linchpin in the campus master plan that com- bines a 700-space parking deck, dining and student recreation facilities, and innovative sustainability prac- tices; and the renovated Health Sciences Library, which features 140 computer workstations and tech- nology that will encourage collaboration among scientists and educations in Chapel Hill and beyond.
