Scope and Contents

In this follow-up interview to his interview of March 6, 2012, Dr. Dan Morrill continues to reflect upon Bonnie Cone and the transition of the university from Charlotte College to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He recalls a spontaneous celebration on campus when the news arrived that Charlotte College had become the fourth campus of the University of North Carolina system. Students started ringing the old school bell that was erected for a time in the courtyard in front of the Kennedy building. Dr. Morrill also discusses the significance of having Miss Cone buried on the university's campus and the importance of institutional history to a university community. Finally, he summarizes the significance of Miss Cone's career at Charlotte, remarks on how he would like students to learn about her, and observes the difference between the early faculty of Charlotte College and the faculty of the early twenty-first century.
