If These Stones Could Talk
by Neil Caudle

to higher education became as much a part of Carolina’s
physical tradition as the well, the bell and the bricks.

part. What distinguished Woody

creating mental pictures for a
sound-only medium.

On the cover:
These stones don’t
roll. They gather
moss, honeysuckle
vines, a lichen or
two, and sometimes
the weight of
passersby in need of
a place to rest.
Chapel Hill’s low
stone walls were
built to fence in and
later to blend in.
Once you take
notice, it’s a
challenge to stand
anywhere without
seeing one.
