Remarks:
IAS files contain an excerpt describing the Joseph Caldwell bust from William S. Powell's "The First State University: A Pictorial History" Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1971. President Joseph Caldwell died on January 27, 1835 and was buried in cemetery near campus. In Nov. 1835, his body was exhumed under the direction of Alfred S. Waugh so that a plaster cast could be made, and his cast was used in the creation of the Caldwell bust. In 1988, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, noted that the bust of Caldwell was missing from campus.
