Synopsis
Excerpt from The James Sprunt Historical Publications, Vol. 14: Published Under the Direction of the North Carolina Historical Society
Charles Wilson Harris graduated at Princeton in 17 92 and was awarded the Mathematical oration. He then spent one, or two, years with his half - uncle, Dr. Charles Harris. At Favoni, the home Of the latter upon an estate adjoming that of Robert Harris and part of the original property Of the eldest Charles Harris. Here he applied himself to the study Of medicine under his uncle's guidance, apparently with the intention Of entering that profession. Nevertheless, in 1795, at the date Of his election to the tutorship of Mathe maties in the University Of North Carolina, he was teaching in Prince Edward County, Virginia. His letters thereafter, with the notes subjoined, sufficiently outline his life and services. They disclose a character of worth and dignity. At twenty-five years of age he was presiding over the fortunes of the state's infant University and in this role he manifests a maturity unusual even in that period Of our state and national life in which abilities ripened early. The trustees relinquished his services with great reluctance. His seven years of life after entering upon the practice of law at Hali fax were filled with earnest and successful endeavor and undoubtedly would have been crowned with high achieve ment but for his early death.
