This Day In History

1897 The University inducted Edwin Anderson Alderman into the office of university president. Originally scheduled for October 12, 1896, the ceremony was delayed due to the heated political campaigns of that year. Alderman served from 1896 to 1900, leaving to become president of Tulane University.
1911 In its first men's varsity basketball game, the Tar Heels defeated Virginia Christian 42-21. Managed by track and field coach Nat Cartmell, the team went on to finish the season 7-4.
