	North Carolina Collection-This Month in North Carolina History - Birth of William Richardson Davie
		William Richardson Davie, the "Father of the University of North Carolina," was born on June 22, 1756, in the Parish of Egremont, County Cumberland, England.
		Richardson wisely invested and nurtured an inheritance and his income as minister, so by the early 1760s he was a well-established member of the Waxhaws area.
		Although Davie would go on to serve as North Carolina's governor from 1798 to 1799 and as a minister plenipotentiary to France from 1799 to 1800, his main contribution to his adopted country and state remains as "Father" of the nation's first public university.

		Outcomes-based education means clearly focusing and organizing everything in an educational system around what is essential for all students to be able to do successfully at the end of their learning experiences.
		For various reasons, education is being driven towards an increasing concentration on the technical and the commercial, to a point at which any more reflective enquiry may come to seem unnecessary and archaic, something that at best is preserved as part of the heritage industry.

		Although he was never a member of the Dialectic Society, Davie’s name was very familiar to the students of the 1820’s, and he was a sensible choice of subject for the first Di portrait.
		The portrait was delayed by a resolution “that no further steps be taken to procure Gen. Davie’s portrait until it shall be fully established that he is a member of the Di Society.”[vii] Of course, he was not a member, but perhaps they eventually decided he was an honorary member.
		The Cretien sketch of Davie, which shows a left profile, in contrast to the right shown in the engraving, is presently located in the office of the Chancellor, UNC Campus, Chapel Hill.
