TO THE EDITOR:

Congratulations to Ralph Byrns, professor of economics at UNC, for receiving the Carolina Chiron Award.

This award recognizes him for his remarkable character and service to the undergraduate population of the University. It is an opportunity for UNC to publicly celebrate and share the exceptional undergraduate teaching that is vital to Carolina’s greatness.

There are only a few professors I will remember for life, and professor Byrns is one of them. He truly changed the way I approached economics — I learned to love the class and the subject and now it is part of my life. With gratitude and admiration, professor Byrns will be missed.
