Abstract:

The Walk of Fame at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, recently added a stone for North Carolina's best known author, Thomas Wolfe. The walk is bordered by over 800 stones such as Wolfe's, and all are from the birthplace or other spot associated with the person they honor. Begun fifty years ago as a personal hobby by Dr. Hamilton Holt, then president of Rollins, as many as thirty stones are added to the walk each year.
