Abstract:

Dr. J. S. Dorton was a veterinarian and somewhat of a North Carolina celebrity. He organized local, county, and state fairs within North Carolina, which he was apt to do because of his natural flair for showmanship. His efforts extended beyond entertainment to transform the state into an agricultural competitor within the United States.

Abstract:

O. Max Gardner, Jr. became the youngest trustee of the Greater University of North Carolina in June 1947. Following the unexpected death of his father Oliver Max Gardner, Sr. in February 1947, the 24 year old was appointed to his father's position as a trustee. Making this story even more spectacular, is that Gardner, Jr. was a student at State College, a member of the Greater University of North Carolina making him not only the youngest trustee but the first active student to fill the role.
