This Day in the History of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Albert Coates, founder and first director of the Institute of Government (now School of Government), married Gladys Hall, a native of Portsmouth, Virginia. The couple immediately immersed themselves in the life of the University and community, he through his position as professor of law and she through civic and cultural organizations. In 1985, the couple co-authored the 435-page "The Story of Student Government in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill."
