The university opened in a single building, which came to be called Old East. Still in use as a residence hall, it is the oldest public university building in the United States.^[13] Its cornerstone was laid October 12, 1793, near an abandoned Anglican chapel which lead to the naming of the town as Chapel Hill.^[14][15]. The spot was chosen due to its geographic centrality in the state.^[14] The first student, Hinton James, arrived on foot from Wilmington on February 12, 1795^[16].

The University of North Carolina was the first to hold classes and to graduate students. The University of Georgia was chartered first in 1785 but did not start classes until 1801. The University of North Carolina is the only university in the United States that awarded degrees as a public institution in the eighteenth century. The University of Georgia (UGA) is the largest institution of higher learning in the U.S. state of Georgia. ...

The early nineteenth century saw a period of much growth and development with the help of the backing of the trustees. Through this growth, the University began to move away from its original purpose, to train leadership for the state, as it added to the curriculum, first starting with the typical classical trend. By 1815, the University started giving equal ground to the natural sciences. This development continued with the establishment of the first astronomical observatory at a state university in 1831. Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...

During the Civil War, the University was among the few that managed to keep its doors open. Soon thereafter, however, the University was forced to close during Reconstruction from 1870 until 1875. With a change in political leadership following the close of Reconstruction, and the readmission of North Carolina into the Union, attempts made to control the direction through appointments during Reconstruction were blocked and the University quickly resumed leadership through the addition of programs such as the first summer school in America, and the establishment of regular Medical and Pharmaceutical offerings by 1879.

In 1932 UNC became one of the three original campuses of the Consolidated University of North Carolina (since 1972 called the University of North Carolina system). During the process of consolidation, programs were moved between the schools to prevent competition between system schools.^{[citation needed]} For instance, the Engineering school moved from UNC to North Carolina State University in Raleigh in 1932.^[17] In 1963 the Consolidated University was made fully coeducational. As a result, the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina was renamed the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and the University of North Carolina itself became the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Campus

The Old Well, Carolina's most recognized landmark.

UNC’s sprawling and well-landscaped campus is dominated by its two central quads. One of the quads is named Polk Place, after President James K. Polk, a native of North Carolina and an alumnus of the university.^[18] Students mill about in a sunken brick courtyard known as the Pit, often engaging in debate with the Pit Preacher. The Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower, located in the heart of campus, tolls the hour. In 1999, UNC was one of 16 recipients of the American Society of Landscape Architects Medallion Awards and was identified as one of 50 college or university 'works of art' by T.A. Gaines in his book 'The Campus as a Work of Art'.^[1][19] The Old Well and McCorkle Place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ...

Graham Memorial in the fall

The most enduring symbol of the university is the Old Well, a small neoclassical rotunda based on the Temple of Love in the Garden of Versailles, at the spot of the original well that provided water for the school.^[20] It stands at the south end of McCorkle Place, the northern quad, between two of the campus's oldest buildings, Old East and Old West. Also in McCorkle Place is the Davie Poplar tree under which the university's founder, William Davie, supposedly selected the location for the university in 1792. Due to its questionable health from damages caused by severe weather, such as Hurricane Fran in 1996, the university has planted two genetic clones, Davie Poplar Jr. and Davie Poplar III, nearby to ensure the continued livelihood of this important university symbol. The second clone was planted in conjunction with the University's bicentennial celebration in 1993.^[21] Another University landmark is Silent Sam, the statue commemorating the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the Confederacy. The statue has become a point of debate on Carolina's campus and within its classrooms, as some claim that it is a monument to racism and slavery, while others take the view that it is simply a piece of the rich heritage of the South, and should be viewed as such.^[22] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Student organizations

General student organizations (excluding most Greek organizations, club sports, and the independent student newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel) at UNC are officially recognized and provided with assistance (meeting space, equipment, and eligibility for funding from the Student Government Student Activity Fee) by the Carolina Union, an administrative unit of the University. Funding for student organizations is derived from the 'Student Government Student Activity Fee', which are monies collected to be spent at the discretion of Student Government's Student Congress.

Student Government is composed of the Executive Branch, headed by the Student Body President, a 41-member Student Congress, an entirely student-run honor system as well as a Student Supreme Court, Elections Board, and loosely-affiliated Carolina Athletic Association and Senior Class.

Traditions

Commencement ceremony in Kenan Football Stadium

Since the beginning of the athletics department, the school's colors have been Carolina Blue and White. The colors were chosen years before, with the blue (a shade similar to sky blue or Columbia blue) representing the Dialectic society and white representing the Philanthropic society. The school had required participation in one of the clubs; traditionally the "Di's" were from west of the Chapel Hill area, and the "Phi's" were from the east. On public occasions, both groups were equally represented, and eventually both colors were used by processional leaders to signify the unity of both groups as part of the university.^[41] In recent years, the teams have also used navy blue as a third, "highlight" color. The team nickname is "Tar Heels", a term that originally referenced the state's 18th century prominence as a tar and pitch producer. The nickname's cultural relevance, however, has a complex history that includes anecdotal tales from both the American Civil War and the American Revolution. The mascot is a live ram named Rameses, a tradition that dates back to 1924, when the team manager brought a ram to the annual game against VMI, inspired by the play of former football player Jack "The Battering Ram" Merrit. The kicker rubbed its head for good luck before a game-winning field goal, and the ram stayed. There is also an anthropomorphic ram mascot who appears at all games. The modern Rameses is depicted in a sailor's hat, a reference to a United States Navy flight training program that was attached to the university during World War II.
