...Ewing agreed. Simultaneous treatment of husbands and wives at Chapel Hill has brought better results than tackling the husbands alone. But nearly all the wives have shown resistance because of unconscious motives; some have become so ill as to need hospitalization. and others have openly sabotaged the doctors' efforts to dry out their husbands...
Spreading to adults, Aycock's education drive produced the South's first great college extension service at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Its regular faculty members roamed far and wide, by World War I came near their dream of using "the whole state for a campus." Sample of their work: road-planning "institutes" at Chapel Hill (1914-19) kicked off the South's first big, well-planned highway system; statewide high school debates focused on the need for good school libraries, got them going; extension service teachers organized part-time refresher courses for country...
Less obvious but more pervasive was the university's effect upon the state's business community, dominated by Chapel Hill alumni. Under the watchful eye of a benign oligarchy (R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., Duke Power Co. and the "textile aristocracy"), North Carolina has been developed with uncommon imagination.

Business Governor. Chapel Hill beckoned early to Luther Hodges, born March 9, 1898, eighth among nine children of a poor tenant farmer who gave up and moved into the textile-mill town of Spray (1950 pop. 5,500).

After college, he resolved to go back home and make his mark in the mills, in 17 years worked his way up to production manager of Marshall Field...
...Massive Resistance. Working with legislative advisory commissions, new Governor Hodges sent to Chapel Hill for a bright young lawyer to spend full time on the complex school crisis. Result: clear understanding that the court had not ordered immediate mass integration, as many a Southerner feared, or left the states free to interpose their authority between the courts and specific schools, as Virginia's "massive resisters" began to preach. Hodges, himself a segregationist, pleaded with Negro leaders to maintain "voluntary separatism of the races." But, never first segregation before education, he pushed through laws (1955-56) which allowed local boards...
