"My own conviction constantly deepens that the next great creative chapter in the history of the nation is to be written here in the South . . . Somewhere in the South there must inevitably grow up an institution . . . which typifies and serves and guides this new civilization. . . . My dream for the University of North Carolina is that she be nothing less than this."

-- Harry Woodburn Chase, President of the University of North Carolina, 1919
