"Look Homeward, Angel": Marking 100 years since Thomas Wolfe's graduation from Carolina
Posted Jun 24, 2020
Thomas Wolfe was a “great man on the campus.” He had come to Chapel Hill a gangly and brooding 15-year-old, and blossomed into one of the University’s most popular and successful students. In addition to being editor-in-chief of The Tar Heel, class poet and a member of both the Golden Fleece and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, Wolfe had also written and performed in two plays.
