Abstract:

Many famous men in North Carolina's early history came from other states. David Caldwell was one, having been born in Pennsylvania and educated at Princeton. He was a Presbyterian minister, educator, and physician. In 1794 he was offered the first presidency of the University of North Carolina, but declined, preferring to teach at his Log College, one of the most outstanding schools in the South.
