Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In January 1927 Jones wrote to UNC President Chase regarding his desire to start this bookstore, saying, “Incidentally, I would like to get my students not merely to read, but to buy, books! Is it at all possible to start an informal bookstore in my office for such a purpose, or is that a misuse of university property? The profits (God save the mark!) would not, I think, exist” (MacMillan 32). In the following years it moved to the YMCA building, then the ground floor of Wilson Library, and finally to the Josephus Daniels Student Stores building in 1968. The Bull’s Head Bookshop has been operated by Barnes and Noble since 2016.
