The Old Well, here in a photo from 1892, served as the campus's sole water source for many years.
The Old Well is located between Old East and Old West residence halls. For many years, it served as the sole water supply for the university. In 1897, the original well was replaced and given its present signature structure by university president Edwin A. Alderman. In 1954, the university built benches, brick walls, and planted various flower beds and trees around the Old Well.Passers-by can drink from a marble water fountain supplying city water that sits in the center of the Old Well. Campus tradition dictates that a drink from the Old Well on the first day of classes will bring good luck (or straight A's).The Old Well is recognized as a National Landmark for Outstanding Landscape Architecture by the American Society of Landscape Architects. The Old Well is also used on the official stamp of all apparel licensed by the university.WEB,weblink The Old Well, an enduring symbol | A View to Hugh, Lib.unc.edu, 2010-06-23, 2012-12-07, 2013-01-19,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20130119110620weblink">weblink live, Because of its status as a symbol of the university, it is the target of vandals around the time of Carolina - State sporting events.WEB,weblink Tar Heels Unfazed by Old Well Vandals, 20 February 2008, WRAL.com, 2012-12-07, 2012-04-02,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20120402202608weblink">weblink live, In Kinston, North Carolina, there is a replica of the Old Well, created to honor UNC alumnus Harvey Beech.WEB,weblink A small town's Old Well honors a trailblazing Tar Heel, Holliday, Rob, February 26, 2021, unc.edu, March 3, 2021, February 27, 2021,weblink live, Beech was one of the first African-Americans to attend the University of North Carolina School of Law.- Old Well 1892.jpg -

Old Well Walk
On game days from the 2001-2012 football seasons, the North Carolina Tar Heels football team traveled from the team hotel and was dropped off in the center of campus, which is the Old Well. From there, the team walked from the Old Well through Tar Heel Town and into the Kenan Football Stadium. This walk was usually packed with fans hoping to see their favorite player(s). The Old Well walk started approximately two and a half hours prior to kickoff.WEB,weblink 2007 UNC Football Fan Guide, Chatham Journal, 2012-12-07, 2012-03-10,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20120310154407weblink">weblink live, {{Clear}}References
