Reverse: Three stacked textbooks form the centerpiece, with "FIRST PUBLIC UNIVERSITY" proudly displayed on the middle volume's spine. Atop this foundation of knowledge sits a classical lamp of learning, its flame symbolizing the light of education spreading across the nation. Graceful olive branches—symbols of peace and achievement—curve elegantly around the design's edge, while "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "NORTH CAROLINA" complete the tribute to this educational milestone.
