225 years of Tar Heels: Hinton James
Wed Feb 13, 2019
First-year students living in
Hinton James Residence Hall are no strangers to long walks to campus. Neither was the namesake of that building,
Hinton James, who — legend has it — walked from his home in Wilmington, NC, to Chapel Hill in 1795 and became the first student to enroll. James arrived at UNC on Feb. 12, 1795, almost a month after the University opened its doors.
