Abstract:
When the corner stone of the nation's oldest state university was laid one hundred and forty-one years ago, an inscribed tablet was enclosed. During the dark days of Reconstruction, 1865-1875, the stone was broken into and its contents spirited away. Marlow recounts how the tablet was found in 1916 and returned to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
