In 1917, professor and future school president, Leon Meadows requested a leave of absence to volunteer for service in France during World War I. His act embodied the school’s Latin moto 'servire' or 'to serve' and began a century long tradition of service by the students, faculty, and staff of East Carolina. In the years since, East Carolina veterans have served before and after their time on campus in periods of conflict and peace throughout the world.

Edward Moseley (ca.1682-1749) was a white slave-holding colonial landowner who was very involved in North Carolina politics. He held many positions in the colonial government including Speaker of the Assembly, member of the Royal Council, Treasurer for the province, and baron of the Exchequer. He was well-known for his surveying skills and was part of the commission to define the line between North Carolina and Virginia in 1728. While surveyor-general, a position he held for many years, he produced one of the most important early North Carolina maps. Moseley utilized earlier surveys and works to draw “A New and Correct Map of the Province.” Dated 1733, the map was one of the most accurate to that point.

Main Campus Library Exhibits

This project was created to be an online archive of information and photographs regarding the Ayden African American community.

Susan Martin Meggs’ artwork in her exhibit on view in the library's Janice Hardison Faulkner Gallery from October 13th through November 30th, 2021, is strongly influenced by her surroundings as “a sense of place.” As a personal, engaged experience, a sense of place becomes a constantly morphing transformation of identity relative to past and present. Her works are largely divided between landscapes and cityscapes. The landscapes demonstrate juxtaposition of iconography between the built environment and natural forms, as well as the effects of light on the perception of form. A series of oil paintings examines light as cast shadows of natural elements on primarily architectural surfaces.

This exhibit chronicles the origins and legacy of the Beta Phi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at East Carolina College, from its beginnings in 1961 to its modern resurgence.
