Literary institutions of North Carolina-Their history, progress, and pre- sent condition-Queen's Museum, at Charlotte, 1770-University, incor- porated in 1789, and located at Chapel Hill, 1792-Corner-stone laid in October 1793-Commenced tuition, 1795-Life and character of Dr. Joseph Caldwell ; and a list of its graduates from 1798 to 1851-Davidson College; in. Mecklenburg County, commenced in' 1838; its present faculty and alumni, from 1840-Wake Forest College, in' Wake County; its. trustees and faculty-Female institutions, common schools, and Literary Fund of the State ..
THE early history of the State presents but few institutions, where the benefits of a liberal education could be obtained.
In 1736, the Governor (Johnston), in his address to the Legisla- ture bewailed the deplorable condition of the province in which no provision had been made, "or care taken to inspire the youth with generous sentiments, worthy principles, or the least tincture of lite- rature."
In 1754, an act was passed to establish a public seminary, but it proved abortive.
In 1764, an act was passed to erect a school-house in Newbern, and in 1767 Trustees were incorporated.
At the end of the Royal Government. (1775), Martin says that " Literature was hardly known. There were in the whole province but two schools, those of Newbern and Edenton. In the first a wooden building, in which the meetings of the Lower House of the Legislature were occasionally held."
When reading the resolves of the Provincial Congress, the Pro- vincial Councils, the District Committees of Safety, and the addresses which they published to the country, the purity of the language, the simplicity and beauty of style, the cogency of argument are so re- markable that they cannot be surpassed by the most polished pro- ductions of the present age.
Even the handwriting of the men of '75, as exhibited in the. Journals, will bear a fair comparison with those of this day, and per- haps surpass them in ease and plainness.
This proves that our forefathers had not been inattentive to the objects of practical education.
In 1770, a charter was obtained from the Provincial Assembly to incorporate the Queen's Museum at Charlotte.
117
HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The charter not receiving the royal sanction was amended; and again passed in 1771; it was repealed by the King. But it flourished without a charter ; and in 1777 it was incorporated by the General Assembly of the State by the name of Liberty Hall. .
The Trustees were Isaac Alexander, M. D., President; Thomas . Polk, Thomas. Neal, Abraham Alexander, Waightstill Avery, Ephraim Brevard, M. D., John Simpson, Adlai Osborne, John Mc Knitt . Alexander, Rev. David Caldwell, James Edmonds, Thomas Reese, Samuel E. McCorkle, Thomas Harris McCaule, and James Hall.
The latter were Presbyterian Ministers, and the school was under the supervision of this highly respectable. denomination.
The first meeting of the Trustees was held at Charlotte, January 3d, 1778. Lots were purchased in the town of Charlotte belonging to Col. Thomas Polk. The revolutionary war closed the school, and. the troops of Cornwallis occupied its halls. 6 Rev. DAVID CALDWELL, about the year 1767, opened a school in Guilford county. He was a native of Pennsylvania, graduated at Princeton, in 1761, and a. Presbyterian Minister. (See Guilford county.) This school was conducted with great success. "His log cabin served for many years to North Carolina, as an Academy, a College, and a Theological Seminary." Many who were here edu- cated have become distinguished as statesmen, lawyers, physicians and divines.
The Constitution adopted at Halifax, 18th Dec., 1776, declared (in Section XLI.) that a school or schools shall be established, and " all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more universities." Accordingly, in 1789, the University of North Carolina was established by incorporating Samuel Johnston and others Trustees, and in Nov. 1792, these Trustees located this Institution at Chapel Hill, in Orange county. Eleven hundred and eighty acres of land were conveyed to the Trustees by the citizens of this neighborhood. In Oct. 1793, the first lots of the village were sold, and the corner-stone of the College laid. The ceremonies were conducted with masonic honors, by Wm. R. Davie, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, at the time, and afterwards, Governor of the State. The Rev. Dr. McCorkle, one of the Trustees, made an address ..
The buildings being sufficiently prepared in 1795, the Trustees selected Rev. David Kerr as Professor, and Samuel A. Holmes as Tutor.
Mr. Hinton James was the first student; who arrived from Wil- mington, Feb. 12th, 1795.
Public instruction commenced on the 13th.
Mr. Kerr was a foreigner by birth, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, a man of piety and learning. He emigrated to this country in 1791, and preached in Fayetteville, in the Presbyterian Church, and taught school there for three years. He remained but a short time at the University, removing to Lumberton, and commenced the
118
HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
study of law. He removed afterwards to Mississippi, where he acquired wealth and honors (he was United States Marshal and Judge). He died in 1810.
He was succeeded in the Presidency of the University of North . Carolina, by Charles W. Harris, of Cabarrus county, who was ap- pointed Professor of Mathematics, and Mr. Holmes, Professor of Languages.
Mr. Harris remained only a year at the university, preferring, like his predecessor, the pursuit of his profession, and in which he would have attained great eminence had not death suddenly closed his career. He was succeeded by Mr. Joseph Caldwell, at this time a tutor in Nassau Hall, New Jersey, who was appointed Pro- fessor of Mathematics in the fall of 1796.
For forty years the destinies of the institution were directed by Dr. Caldwell. His history is its record.
He was born in Lamington, New Jersey, on the 21st. of April, 1773, the day after the burial of his father, who was a physician, and -of Irish descent. He was educated at. Princeton, where he graduated in August, 1791. .
He was employed in teaching and studying divinity until April, 1795, when he was appointed tutor in his alma mater. His asso- ciate in this duty was Mr. Hobart, afterwards Bishop of New York ; here he remained until 1796, when he was appointed Professor of Mathematics in the University of North Carolina.
In 1806 he was appointed President of the University.
In 1811 he made an excursion throughout the State, to collect funds for the aid of the college, and received $12,000.
In 1816 he received the honorary degree of D. D. from Nassau Hall, and also from the University of North Carolina.
In 1824 he was sent to Europe to direct the construction of the philosophical apparatus and procure books for the library. .
He remained connected with it until his death, which occurred on the 27th of January, 1835.
The life, character, and services of Dr. Caldwell afford inviting material to the biographer and historian. Connected as he was with the University, which he raised, by his energy, talents, and piety, from an obscure institution to the front ranks of science ; embalmed as is his memory in the hearts of many now scattered over our whole Union, who witnessed his services and enjoyed the benefits of his labors, it is to be hoped that some one of these will enter upon this pious duty. His character was one worthy of study . and imitation. In his person, he was small and delicate. His expansive forehead, bushy eyebrows, his keen glance, and regular features evidenced strong powers of reason, great determination of character, invincible firmness and self-possession.
His usefulness was not confined to the advancement of the Uni- versity alone. In'1827, he delivered at Raleigh a lecture on Rail- roads, then a new subject to the members of the Legislature.
He wrote numerous essays on Common Schools, the Deaf and

Dumb, and the condition of the State as to internal improvement; which were extensively circulated, attentively read, and were instru- mental in directing public attention in North Carolina towards these important subjects.
It was not his fortune
" The applause of listening Senates to command ;" 1
nor did he direct in fields of battle or of victory. But he discharged the important part of training those whose eloquence now often charms our Congress, whose talents preside in our courts, and whose piety enlivens our faith.
The warrior's name,
Tho' pealed and chimed by every tongue of fame, Sounds less harmonious to the grateful mind Than he who fashions and improves mankind."
He was succeeded by Hon. David L. Swain, for whose biography the reader is referred to another chapter. (See Buncombe.)
