University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy.

The Department of Physics was officially established in 1907, although courses in natural philosophy, as the subject was called through most of the nineteenth century, had been given as part of the mathematics curriculum since about 1820. In 1973, the name of the Department of Physics changed to Department of Physics and Astronomy.
