Abstract:
In 1933 at the University of North Carolina medical school, there was a quota on the number of Jewish students that were to be accepted into the program. Medical school dean Isaac Hall Manning kept Jewish students to about 10 percent of the overall program based on the argument that those students would not be accepted elsewhere after the program and the school's reputation would suffer. University president Frank Porter Graham argued against Manning's quota system on moral grounds until Manning resigned.

During the early 20th century, cotton-seed crushing mill owners in eastern North Carolina depressed the price of seeds by adopting a variety of tactics. After antitrust suits destabilized the seed pools and direct price agreements, the mill owners exchanged price information through private means until that came under legal attack. To combat more litigation, they began full publication of price information, which was ruled to not be an unfair trade practice by the US Supreme Court.
