Grimes, Alice Dugger

Abstract:

North Carolina has produced many great women who have played dramatic and interesting roles in the state's history. Grimes makes her case for Cornelia Phillips Spencer as the greatest of them all. She is endeared 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.
