A snapshot of student life at UNC


This wrought-iron, three-pronged hook was used at the University of North Carolina from the early 1800s to 1900 to retrieve the bucket from the Old Well when it became detached from its pulley rope. Many of Carolina’s first students who lived in Old East and Old West dormitories relied on the Old Well and surrounding creeks as their sole water supply. (UNC.edu)
