The statue was funded by the University Alumni and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It was erected in 1913 as a memorial to the Confederate alumni who lost their lives in the American Civil War and all students who joined the Confederate States Army

UNC, the university, didn't pay for it, and it isn't recognized as the unviersity's memorial. That would be Memorial Hall.
