AAAAAAXAAmUAAUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUAAAAAAAAXA A , JN October, 1926, William Rand Kenan, Jr., (B.S. 1894) of New York gave „j . Ma X to the University of North Carolina the funds for the erection of the Kenan Memorial Stadium, in honor of his father and his mother, William Rand and Mary Hargrave Kenan. This act of Mr. Kenan becomes, in the span of Universjty histoiy. the latest of many events which have kept the Kenan family and the L niversity closely intertwined since the last years f the eighteenth century. James Kenan, representing the District of Wilmington, was the second trustee ever elected after the original group designated in the enabling act of the Legislature of 1789. He met with the board in its third meeting, held in Fayetteville on November 18, 1790, and continued actively in the capacity of trustee until 1799. To him, as to his great grandson, Tliomas Stephen, there is a tablet in Memorial Hall. One son and three great-great-grandsons of James Kenan have also sat upon ihe Board of Trustees, for a combined term of fifty-five years. The terms of two were brought to a close by death, of two by removal from the State, and of one. that of the original James Kenan, by resignation. Thomas Stephen Kenan was for twenty years president of the General Alumni Association. Three great-grandsons of James Kenan were graduated from Chapel Hill: Thomas Stephen, A.B., 1857, A.M., 1858; James Graham, A.B., 1861; and William Rand, A.B., 1911, as of 1864, his fourth year being spent in the Confederate Army rather than upon the University campus. Four of his great-great-grandsons in a direct line have been students here, two of them remaining to graduate: and two great-granddaughters have married University Alumni. One great-granddaughter, Mrs. Graham Kenan, is. the donor of the Graham Kenan Fellowship in Philosophy; another, Mrs. Mary Lily Kenan Flagler Bingham, gave the Kenan Endowment Fund of a million and a half dollars — an award for the excellence of the teaching faculty and the largest factor in holding together the abler faculty members during the recent years of readjustments; and a great-great-grandson, William Rand Kenan, Jr.. is the donor of the Kenan Memorial Stadium, now in process of construction. The University takes pride in her long record of service to the members ul this illustrious family. She has won continuity in her development and gained strength through the power which she has gathered from the Kenans: statesmen, soldiers, business men, educators, citizens, wise counselors, and benefactors. Truly, there is a Kenan Tradition which is woven into the very life of the institution; and the University feels privileged to honor the Kenans, for in so doing she honors and lends strength to her own cause.
