“One problem, at least in the past, has been that the university at Chapel Hill has had too much of a ‘closed shop’ attitude -. . . .The university . . . continues rightfully to be a strong force in the state and the South, but it is no longer the alpha and omega of all wisdom, knowledge and power.”

-- Robert W. Scott, Governor of North Carolina, 1970
