William Richardson Davie is known as the father of the University of North Carolina. In 1789, as a North Carolina state legislator, he introduced the bill that established the University. Each year on Oct. 12, the University celebrates University Day, which marks the day that Davie laid the cornerstone at Old East, the oldest state university building in the nation. (UNC.edu)
