Abstract:
In this continuing series of articles about women who have played dramatic and interesting roles in the history of North Carolina, Rogers discusses Cornelia Phillips Spencer. She was a skilled artist who drew sketches of Chapel Hill and wrote everything from poems to hymns and sketches of men, and women and events. She is known to North Carolinians for her efforts to close the University of North Carolina when it was being disgraced by the carpet-bag regime, and then working to get it reopened a few years later under a new regime.
