Carolina Alumni Lost in Military Service

History & Location

Book5

UNC-Chapel Hill’s “Alumni Memorial in Memory of Those Lost in Military Service” is a bronze, sandstone and concrete memorial that was designed by Maggie Smith and dedicated on the morning of April 12, 2007. The centerpiece of the memorial is a bronze Book of Names with pull-out pages; these pages are engraved with the names of 715 alumni who are known to have given their lives in the service of their country. The Book’s pages are grouped chronologically by war, and blank space has been left to allow for the inclusion of alumni yet to be discovered, as well as alumni who may be lost in the future.

Facing the Book of Names is a red sandstone bench inscribed with a quotation from Thomas Wolfe’s Look Homeward, Angel. Low stone walls and trees fill the plaza in front of the bench, and sixteen quotes from alumni and their loved ones are inscribed in flagstone pathways surrounding the Book and the bench. The memorial itself is located between Memorial Hall and Phillips Hall–just south of Cameron Avenue–and while it was constructed in the open, it’s easy to overlook the Book of Names in the hustle-and-bustle of class changes–hidden in plain sight, if you will.

The “original” Book contained a list of 684 alumni lost in the service of their country, but that number now totals to 715 former students–a combination of alumni lost since 2007 and newly-discovered alumni lost since the school’s opening on December 11, 1789. The list includes one veteran from the War of 1812, 287 from the U.S. Civil War, 22 from World War I, 333 from World War II, 18 from the Korean War, 50 from the Vietnam War and one veteran each from the Persian Gulf Conflict, the Bosnian War, the War in Afghanistan and the War in Iraq. To take a virtual tour and read each name, visit the UNC Libraries’ Digital Collection.

The Soldier Walks Under the Trees of the University

The walls have been shaded for so many years // By the green magnificence of these great lives // Their bricks are darkened till the end of time // Small touching whites in the perpetual // Darkness that saturates the unwalled world; // Saved from the sky by leaves, and from the earth by stone // The pupils trust like flowers to the shades // And interminable twilight of these latitutes.

In our zone innocence is born in banks // And cultured in colonies the rich have sown: // The one is spared here what the many share // To write the hitories that others are. // The oak escapes the storm that broke the reeds, // They read here; they read, too, of reeds, // Of storms; and are, almost sublime // In their read ignorance of everything.

The poor are always–somewhere, but not here; // We learn of them where they and Guilt subsist // with Death and Evil: in books, in books, in books. // Ah, sweet to contemplate the causes, not the things! // The soul learns fortitude in libraries, // Enduring patience in another’s pain, // And pity for the lives we do not change: // All that the world would be, if it were real. //

When will the boughs break blazing from these trees, // The darkened walls float heavenward like soot? // The days when man say: “Where we look is fire– // The iron branches flower in my veins?” // In that night even to be rich is difficult, // The world is something even books believe, // The bombs fall all year long among the states, // And the blood is black upon the unturned leaves.

– Randall Jarrett

Book of Names, Pedestal

The fading footsteps lost forever // The eloquent lips, the passionate hearts // All be as if they’d never been?

Now all our walking is the paths they trod,

So thus the dead do live in us again, // And we the living honorably may die.

– Paul Green

Bench, Facing the Book of Names

He heard…the mellow booming of the campus bell. And suddenly it seemed to him that all the beaten walks were thudding with the footballs of lost boys, himself among them, running for their class. Then, as he listened, the far bell died away, and the phantom runners thudded into oblivion.

– Thomas Wolfe, Look Homeward, Angel

  1. It is so gratifying to see the blogging medium being used to ensure that the men and women who died for us in war will never be forgotten. In my state of NH, Janice Brown has used her Cow Hampshire blog to research every soldier, doctor, and nurse from NH who died in WWI.

    1. That’s my hope–and I’m already working on the next one! All of them deserve to be remembered.

      I hadn’t heard of her blog, so I just looked it up–and wow, the content is exactly the kind of stuff I love to read! Thank you for the tip–such a brilliant idea.
