Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carolina Handbook, 1943-44 Chapel Hill is located approximately in the geographic center of the state and in reality is of twin age with the University. It owes its growth and importance to the University. Its' elevation above sea-level is an even 500 feet. Its population 3500, exclusive of the student body and the Navy and Army units - these two elements at present adding more than five thousand to the resident population. All of our streets are paved, for we are a thoroughly modern town, though the. Force of village tradition retains the old type gravel walks except in the one business block along the f1ont of stores, theatres and the Post Office. Women with open -toed shoes are well aware of the gravel 1n Chapel Hill's village atmosphere. The terrane is distinctly rolling, with the streets and lanes winding as old country roads to avoid excessive grades, and frequently there is a none-too-graceful curve merely to by-pass an ancient Oak or Elm.
