Hinton James leaves a legend and a legacy in UNC's most-populated dorm


Residence Hall will turn 50 years old this fall. Built in 1967, the dormitory houses 964 freshmen and has 10 floors. The building, which is the furthest of all dorms from main campus, was named after the first student to arrive at UNC. Archivist Nicholas Graham said came from Pender County in the area that is now Burgaw, North Carolina. (Daily Tar Heel)
