Abstract	John Moran Frohock attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C., from 1925 to 1929. He graduated in 1929. The collection consists of 242 black-and-white photographic prints, many of which were presumably made and/or collected by John Moran Frohock while he attended the University of North Carolina. A few images pre-date Frohock's tenure at UNC, and others appear to have been collected by an unidentified girlfriend of Frohock's. Many of the photographs were made in Chapel Hill and include views of the University of North Carolina campus. The images taken on campus include University buildings/grounds, UNC students (Frohock's classmates and friends), UNC sports (boxing and football), and views of Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill. Also included are photographs from Greensboro, Trenton, and other areas of North Carolina (including a fishing trip in the coastal region); Washington, D.C.; and the 1926 Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition in Philadelphia, Pa.
