Aycock House was named for former NC Governor Charles B. Aycock. Its twin, Jarvis, was named for former NC Governor Thomas J. Jarvis.
For those interested in Wilson House, it was named for Dean Mary Grace Wilson.

Re: Chat room needs a name
Section 17 was one of my votes, but I do like Section 21 better.

So you have already named a room Bob.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:When we remodeled our chapter room in 1975, we named it in honor of Dr. Robert S. Rankin, a brother in Phi Kappa Psi. So I vote for Robert S. Rankin. Well, not really.Devil in the Blue Dress wrote: How about a name which honors one of the professors friendly to athletes and the athletics dept.
Seriously, as much as Windsor and several other of the lovelies of CTN were residents of Aycock, and LOVED to chant their favorite cheer wanting an A, Y, C..., I say give it to them! Ummm, not really.
I'd vote for Section 17 from all the names above. Really.

Re: Chat room needs a name
In my day, Grace's Cafe was the restaurant in Trent. Chinese, sandwiches, burgers, and the only place that would deliver breakfast (all on points, of course). We all loved the place. Grace always had the most cheerful disposition (at least from what I could tell on the phone), and you'd get your food anywhere on campus within 15 minutes. My comment was purely fond remembrance.DukieInKansas wrote:What do you have against poor little Trent.

Re: Chat room needs a name
Where in the building was Grace's Cafe? Sounds like a great place. The only food we had was the cafeteria and vending machine. There was also a special foodline and dining room for the Rice Diet folks.wilson wrote:In my day, Grace's Cafe was the restaurant in Trent.

Re: Chat room needs a name
I have no idea. I never once set foot in Trent. Sure consumed a lot of Grace's, though. I can still hear Grace's singsong cadence and not-too-thick-not-too-thin accent in my head: "HiiithisisGrace's, mayIhelpyouuuu?DukieInKansas wrote:Where in the building was Grace's Cafe?

It was in the basement "Trent G" I lived there soph year (96-97) and it was great to just go down two floors for breakfast and bring it back up.wilson wrote:I have no idea.
