Author(s):

Browning, Andrew H.

Abstract:

Browning proposed remembering Davie as more than the founding father status of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He included Davie’s contribution to the Great Compromise at the Constitutional Convention. This contribution was made possible by the educational experience at Princeton, which for Davie yielded academic achievement.

Abstract:

"Charlotte picks a $10 million tribute to its most famous modern leader, erasing an earlier design." Thomas Polk Park, which opened in 1991, was demolished this past summer and will be replaced with a better designed space likely to be named in honor of banking leader Hugh McColl Jr. The redo has not gone without criticism.
