Carolina in a Brief
The first building and, indeed, the only building for two years, was a two-story brick structure that came to be called Old East. It is now a National Historic Landmark, the oldest state
university building in America. Opened to students on January 15, 1795, The University
of North Carolina received its first student, Hinton James of New Hanover County, on
February 12. By March there were two professors and forty-one students present.
Carolina in a Brief cont.
Young men from many states came to Chapel Hill for their education, particularly those from
families who had recently left North Carolina to settle elsewhere in the South. The University of North Carolina provided governors not only for North Carolina but also for many other states; countless professions and occupations were
represented, including cabinet members, clergymen, diplomats, engineers, geologists,
judges, legislators, surveyors, teachers, and a president and a vice president of the United
States among others.
Medical
The Division of Health Affairs was formally organized in 1949, with schools of Dentistry and Nursing added to the schools of Medicine,
Pharmacy, and Public Health. The University thereby became one of the few in the nation with schools in the five health professions. The
opening of North Carolina Memorial Hospital in 1952 provided clinical facilities for the schools. Which is now Rex Hospital.

1949 and is still there today as
