NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1975 SESSION
CHAPTER 952
HOUSE BILL 840
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO ASSIST WITH THE HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE DAVID CALDWELL LOG COLLEGE SITE IN GUILFORD COUNTY.
Whereas, The Reverend David Caldwell, D.D., was a great religious, educational, and political leader in the revolutionary era of North Carolina history; and
Whereas, David Caldwell did establish and maintain for many years in Guilford County an academy known as the "log college" in which numerous future leaders of this State including Governor John Motley Morehead and four governors of other states received their training; and
Whereas, a portion of the estate of David Caldwell, now located within the corporate limits of the city of Greensboro, has been purchased by the David Caldwell Log College Corporation, which with private funds has developed plans for a David Caldwell Park; and
Whereas, the City of Greensboro has allocated money to purchase adjacent property, also once the property of David Caldwell, which is to be included in the David Caldwell Park; and
Whereas, historical and archaeological investigation is needed before a developmental plan can be initiated so that this site can receive full use for the education and enjoyment of our people; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. There is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Division of Archives and History, Department of Cultural Resources, for assistance in the historical and archaeological investigation of the David Caldwell Log College Site for the 1976-77 fiscal year the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), provided a like amount is raised by the David Caldwell Log College Corporation after July 1, 1976.
Sec. 2. Funds appropriated in this act shall be expended only in accordance with Sections 121-11 and 143-31.2 of the General Statutes.
Sec. 3. This act shall become effective on July 1, 1975.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 26th day of June, 1975.
