- The Old Well is a small, neoclassical rotunda located on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus at the southern end of McCorkle Place. The current decorative form of the Old Well was modeled after the Temple of Love in the Gardens of Versailles and was completed in 1897. It was designed by the university registrar Eugene Lewis Harris (1856-1901), an artist and 1881 graduate of the institution, who served as registrar from 1894 to 1901. It is the most enduring symbol of UNC. The Old Well is located between Old East and Old West dormitories. 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. Today, 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. Because of its status as a symbol of the university, it is the target of vandals around the time of Carolina - State sporting events.
- 老井是一座坐落在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山校园内的，新古典主义的圆顶小型建筑。它标记了学校当年的水源的所在地，而且成为了学校一直一来的象征，扮演了某种非官方的校徽的角色。 老井和旧东方——美国公立大学的第一个建筑物同龄。许多年来，它是这座嗷嗷待哺的新生校园的唯一水源。它处在McCorkle广场——校园里两大四方草坪之一的最南端。1897年，原来的井被当时的校董Edwin A. Alderman替换了，并换以现在装饰建筑。现在的老井是参照凡尔赛花园中的爱德圣堂的样子设计的。1954年，作为1954年毕业班的献礼，老井被装上了条凳，砖墙，各种鲜花和树木在它周围种下。 如今，一座大理石材质的提供城市饮用水的小喷泉在老井里建成了（再也没有用水桶把水打上来的事情了）。学校有个说法，一个人如果喝了老井里面的水，会是一种幸运的象征。传统上新生可以在入学第一天喝一口老井里面的水，这样在接下来的四年时间里面就能拿全A。所以，每年开学的第一天都会看到新生在老井前排长队饮水。 老井被美国园艺设计师协会评为国家级优秀园艺设计地标。
