The University of the People

Posted Oct 10, 2014
When William Richardson Davie laid the cornerstone at Old East on Oct. 12, 1793, it marked the beginning of what alumnus Charles Kuralt would famously call “the University of the people.” That’s why, since 1877, UNC has recognized October 12 as University Day, a time to anticipate Carolina’s future while celebrating its history — a rich history that includes a long commitment to accessibility and affordability.
