<p>The history of the Order of the Golden Fleece is an integral part of the history of the University of North Carolina and of university honor societies across the country. Using original records, author Nick Herman provides the first comprehensive and public look at the Order of the Golden Fleece. His detailed account of its origins and purposes, and the individuals who made it one of the most prestigious orders of its kind in the nation, brings to light the contributions of America's first honor society for university leaders. At the turn of the twentieth century, deep and bitter divisions permeated the intimate campus environment at Chapel Hill. Fraternity men and "non-frats" competed fiercely with one another, upperclassmen hazed freshmen, and no organization provided either formal student governance or a sense of shared purpose. Into this fray, two visionary students, aided by legendary teacher of philosophy Horace Williams, stepped forward with a bold idea. In 1904" the Order of the Golden Fleece was founded. Its purpose was to restore unity and harmony to campus life, so that the university could prosper as a diverse and vibrant community and grow into a leading force in American higher education. Over more than a century, the order has stood for exemplary character, excellence, and leadership at Carolina. It has brought its influence to critical issues in university life, from the early quest for unity and harmony, to the controversy over the Speaker Ban Law of 1963 and the later struggle for racial integration.Fleece alumni have carried their ideals forward to become distinguished figures in public service, education, business, arts, and the professions. Throughout, the order's members have remained true to the vision of its founders-to bring unity, harmony, and service to all.</p>
