welcome to campus Duke University dates its origin to a one-room log schoolhouse in nearby Randolph County. In the academic year 1838-39, Brown’s Schoolhouse reorganized as Union Institute when Methodist and Quaker families united their efforts to provide a permanent academy for their children. For a brief period the school offered state sanctioned teacher education as Normal College, but it became more clearly identified with the Methodist Church when its name changed to Trinity College in 1859.

James B. Duke had a remarkable vision: transform a regional liberal arts college into one of the world’s top institutions of higher education. Younger than most other prestigious U.S. research universities, Duke University consistently ranks among the very best. Its graduate and professional schools — in business, divinity, engineering, the environment, law, medicine, nursing and public policy — are among the leaders in their fields.

The school survived the Civil War without closing but it struggled during the Reconstruction Era before casting its lot with the “New South” image of urbanization and manufacturing with a move to the booming city of Durham in 1892. The church loyalty and civic mindedness of entrepreneur Washington Duke led him to contribute $85,000 to entice the school to Durham. His eldest son, Benjamin N. Duke, continued support for Trinity College and Ben’s younger brother, James B. Duke, made the transition to a university possible with the creation of The Duke Endowment, a family philanthropic organization, in 1924.

History of the Blue Devil Mascot During World War I the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed “les Diables Bleus,” were well known French soldiers. They first gained attention when their unique training and alpine knowledge was counted upon to break the stalemate of trench warfare in their native region of the French Alps. Their distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret captured public imagination. When the United States entered the war, units of the French Blue Devils toured the

8 the chronicle

country helping raise money in the war effort. Irving Berlin captured their spirit in song describing them as “strong and active, most attractive . . . those Devils, the Blue Devils of France.” As the war was ending in Europe, the Trinity College Board of Trustees lifted its quarter-century ban of football on campus. After playing an intramural class first year the traditional nomenclature of the Trinity Eleven, the Blue and White

or the Methodists (as opposed to the Baptists of nearby Wake Forest) described the team. In September, 1921, the student newspaper, the Trinity Chronicle, launched a campaign for a “catchy name, one of our own possession that would be instantly recognizable nationwide in songs, yells and publicity.” There were numerous nominations including Catamounts, Grizzlies, Badgers, Dreadnaughts, and Captains which was in honor of the well-liked Coach W. W. “Cap” Card. Believing a choice utilizing the school colors of dark blue and white to be appropriate, the newspaper editors urged a selection from among the

nominations of Blue Titans, Blue Eagles, Polar Bears, Blue Devils, Royal Blazes, or Blue Warriors. None of the nominations won strong favor but Blue Devils apparently had enough support to elicit the criticism that it would arouse opposition on the Methodist campus “for obvious


welcome to campus

reasons,” and that it might prove risky and jeopardize football if a controversial name were used at that particular time. The football season passed with no official selection of a name. As the campus leaders from the Class of 1923 made plans for their senior year, they decided to select a name since the desired results by democratic nomination and vote had been inconclusive. The editors of The Archive and The Chanticleer, two of the other student publications, agreed that the newspaper staff should choose a name and “put it over.” Thus William H. Lander, as editor-in-chief, and Mike Bradshaw, as managing editor, of the Trinity Chronicle began the academic year 1922-23 referring to the athletic teams as the Blue Devils. Their class had been the first post-war freshmen and the student body was full of returning veterans so the name needed no explanation. Acknowledging that it was somewhat unpopular, they nevertheless believed it to be the best name nominated. Neither the college press nor the cheerleaders used

the name that first year. In fact, The Chanticleer made fun of the selection and process by quoting someone saying “We will use blew devvies even if no one else does.” Much to the editor’s surprise no opposition materialized, not even from the college administration. The Chronicle staff continued its use and through repetition, Blue Devils eventually caught on. Today the origin of the university mascot is virtually forgotten even though its instant, national recognition has long been established. With the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged throughout the country, the origin of Duke’s Blue Devil is one of the most often requested items of information in the University Archives. Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more military and patriotic than religious. By William King, University Archivist, 1972-2002. Reprinted with permission from the Duke University Archives website, www.lib.duke.edu/archives/.

‘Dear Old Duke’ Originally called the “Hymn to Trinity”, the Alma Mater was the work of one of Duke’s own when he was a senior in Trinity College. Robert H. James ‘24 said “I was inspired to write ‘A Hymn to Trinity’, a song that would show my gratitude and devotion to my College. And would express the feelings of my fellow students and others in the little world of Trinity.” The first public singing was at the Flag Lowering where members of the Class of ’24 and their friends sang the song and the next year it was adopted as “Dear Old Duke”, the Alma Mater of Duke University. Robert James was a native of Wilmington, North Carolina. He was a civilian professor of English, History, and government at the United States Naval Academy for twenty years. He also taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and the University of the City of New York. During World War II Mr. James was a naval officer and was awarded the Victory Medal and the Navy Medal. He passed away on September 26, 1982, in Wilmington. A ceremony was held in 1982 to dedicate a plaque in lasting tribute of Robert Henry James. http://web.duke.edu/commencement/weekend/alma_mater.php

History and Architecture of Duke Chapel From the beginning, Duke University Chapel was meant to serve the entire university. At the Service of Dedication in 1935, ministers from several faiths participated in the service, as well as officers of the university, faculty members, and students. Since then, the Chapel has served the University community in many ways. The Deans and campus ministers provide continuing opportunities for worship, study, and outreach. The Chapel hosts many weddings and funeral services for students, graduates, and employees each year. In addition, convocations and baccalaureates for various colleges of the university frequently take place in the Chapel. Past preachers have included the Rev.

Billy Graham, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Reverend Charlene Kammerer, Rev. Dr. Peter Gomes, Dr. Samuel Proctor, just to name a few. A variety of musical performances takes place each year. Recent groups to visit and perform at Duke University Chapel include the Durham Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys from Durham, England; the Tallis Scholars; and the North Carolina Boys Choir. The Duke University Chapel Choir is a strong and active choir. In addition to singing for Sunday worship during the academic year, the choir performs two oratorios a year, one of which is always Handel’s MESSIAH, performed

each December. Perhaps the most memorable performance of MESSIAH took place on the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The audience emerged from hearing Handel’s marvelous work to be greeted by newsies and others announcing the bombing. The two greatest changes to the Chapel occurred in the 1970s. In 1971, a fire sparked in the nave, destroying several pews and causing thousands of dollars in damage to the interior of the Chapel. The pews were replaced with wooden chairs, which proved to be something of a blessing: the chairs can be moved to accommodate an orchestra, risers, and other supports for concerts and liturgical dance performances. In 1976, the dedication of the Benjamin N. Duke Memorial Organ took place. The organ, built above the entrance to the nave, is the single most important addition to the building since its completion and dedication in the 1930s. Established endowments and offerings help defray the cost of the upkeep of the fabric of the Chapel, enabling the Chapel to maintain its grandeur while still offering entrance and guided tours at no charge.

The Stone Duke University Chapel is constructed of a volcanic stone from the Duke Quarry in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The lectern, pulpit and other trimmings were made from Indiana limestone. The vaults of the choir are made of stone, but the walls and vaults of the nave and transepts are made of Guastavino tile, a sound-absorbing material. This tile had to be coated with a sealant prior to the installation of the Flentrop. This increased the reverberation time, making the Chapel more suited to the sounds of the new organ.

Gothic To simply explain Gothic architecture is a difficult, even daunting task. It is an architecture of height--allowing for great height and space as well as for complex and delicate ornamentation. The Gothic era spans something of 500 years--the Middle Ages of England and Western Europe. Most Gothic cathedrals are not all of a piece--one might have a Norman nave, a Perpendicular choir, one window from the 13th century, others from the 15th, perhaps even later. Often a Gothic cathedral might be as many as two hundred years in the making -several generations of architects, stone cutters, and craftsmen. A later architect might tear down an entire wall erected the century before. Fire might destroy a delicate window, leaving only a few pieces of glass to be used in the panes of its replacement. But it was five years between the laying of the cornerstone to the Service of Dedication in 1935. Duke University Chapel might be described as a synthesis of the best of Gothic. While one is not able to see every characteristic from each period of Gothic architecture, one can experience the height, space, ornamentation and color of a Gothic cathedral. The decorative foliage at the base of the Memorial Chapel vaults, the intricate hand-carved woodwork of the choir, the 73-foot interior ceiling with its carved stone bosses, and over a million pieces of stained glass all combine to form one of the largest and most well-used university chapels in the United States.

Architects and Craftsmen The architects of the Chapel were Horace Trumbauer of Philadelphia and his chief designer, Julian Abele, America’s first black architect of renown. Mr. Abele was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and in France. The stone carving in the Chapel was done by John Donnelly, Inc., of New York. All of the woodwork was done by Irving and Casson--A.H. Davenport, Inc., of Boston. The ironwork was done by the William H. Jackson Company of New York. The stained glass windows and the ornamental lead-and-gold symbols in the doors were designed and made by G. Owen Bonawit, Inc., of New York. Charles Keck of New York carved the recumbent statues on the tombs in the Memorial Chapel. By Adelaide McCulloch Reprinted with permission from the Duke Chapel website www.chapel.duke.edu.

Campus Attractions Duke Forest Many students attend Duke University and never take advantage of one of the most unique environments the University has to offer: Duke Forest. Totaling over 7,000 acres, primarily within Durham, Orange, and Alamance Counties, the Forest is comprised of a variety of ecosystems, from open fields and young pine stands to mature pine and hardwood forests. The Duke Forest originated in the mid1920s when Duke University purchased many small farms and forested lands as a buffer for the new campus then under construction. In 1931, under the direction of Dr. Clarence Korstian, these tracts were placed under intensive management for forestry purposes. The original goals of forestry education and research have since broadened to encompass a variety of disciplines in the natural and environmental sciences. Today, academic use of the Duke Forest ranges from class instruction to long-term research projects, and includes such diverse topics as plant ecology, invertebrate zoology, forest economics and global climate change. With over $3 million of funded research annually, the Duke Forest is nationally recognized as a premier facility for

outdoor education and environmental science research in the southeast. All students that wish to initiate research or lead class activities in the Forest should contact the Office of the Duke Forest at 919613-8013 to discuss the project. Through a simple registration process, students can gain access to all of the Forest’s services, including maps and gate keys.

New Hope Creek in Duke Forest, where many unique experiences await.

Limited recreation is permitted in the Duke Forest, as long as it does not conflict with teaching and research projects. Access roads throughout the Forest provide opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hikers may also use the posted foot-trails and are encouraged to visit the 0.8-mile self-guided Shepherd Nature Trail located off NC-751 at Gate C. Additional opportunities for biking and hiking near campus can be found at the threemile cross country trail, which winds through

the woods around the Duke University Golf Course. For more information or trail maps, contact the Office of the Duke Forest at 919613-8013 or visit the Duke Forest homepage at www.dukeforest.duke.edu. A book “The Duke Forest at 75: A Resource for All Seasons” is available from the Forest Office, online and at the Gothic Bookshop in the Bryan Center.

welcome to campus, attractions continued Duke Lemur Center Since 1966 The Lemur Center has housed and studied the world’s largest and most diverse captive collection of rare prosimian primates (mostly lemurs from the island of Madagascar). As Madagascar’s population

is currently doubling every 25 years, there is ever growing pressure for land, mainly for slash-and-burn agriculture. Therefore, the protection and preservation of these truly unique primates requires a holistic approach involving multiple strategies both

in Madagascar and internationally. The Lemur Center houses about 250 animals, including 233 lemurs encompassing 15 species, along with lorises from India and Southeast Asia and bushbabies from Africa. During a walking tour of the Center, visitors are introduced to representatives from the species we house. The protected enclosures and captive breeding programs are designed to enable researchers from around the world to study these unique animals. Unlike a zoo, visitors are not allowed to tour the Center unescorted, but rather are required to schedule appointments for a docent-guided walking tour of the facility. For additional information see our web site at http://lemur.duke.edu and for appointments please call 919-489-3364.

HDRL, student residents and others in the Duke community develop and maintain environments that support classroom learning and stir students to seek learning opportunities in the world around them. We promote opportunities for students to connect with others and develop a strong and enduring sense of belonging; and intentionally provide opportunities for students to grow and develop, especially as they wrestle with issues of identity, autonomy and responsibility. HDRL programs are rooted in the concepts of mutual respect and civility, and recognize and celebrate the dignity and self-worth of all members. HDRL also manages the facilities operations of all university student residences, which comprise approximately 25 percent of all university space. These responsibilities include all long-range planning, renovations and major projects, managing housekeeping and maintenance efforts, and ensuring that all residence options are safe, secure, comfortable, and well-maintained. HDRL also oversees more than 40 dining venues on campus. At Duke, dining is more than a meal. In addition to the wide range of options in our campus eateries, Duke also features a variety of food carts that offer convenient grab-and-go eats on the West Campus Plaza. All students, faculty, staff and visitors are valued customers, and are likely to find something to fit their tastes and dietary needs, whatever they may be. Dining Services also provide a number of programs to help students understand nutrition, develop good eating habits, and think of the dining experience as a community event

where they can meet friends, discuss the day, and take a breather to enjoy a good, healthy meal. In addition, Dining Services works hard on sustainability, and supports locally grown food sources as much as possible. dining.duke.edu • Community Housing is a campus resource for Duke students, faculty, staff and affiliates to locate rental housing in the Durham area. • The New Student Programs provides programs and resources to help new Duke students have a successful matriculation, transition, and acclimation experience as members of the Duke community.

welcome to durham From humble beginnings as a home for two Native American tribes to a thriving, progressive and globally-known city, Durham continues to surprise with its culture, technology, health, education and innovation.

Street with its funky and eclectic shops or enticing Brightleaf District watering holes, don’t be afraid to try something new. Venture toward the American Tobacco District with its skylineshaping water tower or become immersed in artistic expression in the Golden Belt Arts district. Take a culinary tour through the Five Points downtown district and stuff yourself silly with chicken & waffles, Spanish tapas, cupcakes, Italian panini and more.

Transformed from its history as a tobacco and textile manufacturing mecca, the Bull City is once again humming with entrepreneurs, artists & chefs, thought leaders in nearly every discipline, and those looking to live in an open and accepting community like no other. Rather than tear down the buildings of old, many of the previously vacant brick warehouses have now emerged from a cocoon of time to house trendy boutiques, art galleries, delightful restaurants and more.

No area is complete without great places to shop, and Durham is no exception. Fun boutiques and retail offerings make the Downtown, Brightleaf, Rockwood, and Ninth Street districts popular options for unique gifts and sundries. Additionally, southern Durham boasts the most compact retail options in Durham in with The Streets at Southpoint, a super-regional mall that has more than 170 shops including a Nordstrom, Apple Store, Anthropologie, and more.

Durham: A Thriving Global Hub

Far from being an insulated Southern city, Durham is invigorated by great minds at Duke University and Research Triangle Park. Durham draws people from all over the world creating a melting pot of food, flavors and ideas. Durham’s start-up culture has contributed to what Newsweek calls “New Silicon Valley.” But Durham isn’t all suits and study buddies. In June 2013, Money Under 30 Magazine ranked Durham the third best city on its list of the “Best Cities in America to Be Young, Broke & Single,” citing its low cost of living. Now, more than ever is the best time to be in Durham.

There’s More to Durham than Duke Whenever people think about Durham, they often mention the food. Durham was recently voted the “The South’s Tastiest Town” by Southern Living magazine and its readers,beating out culinary hotspots like Charleston and New Orleans. The New York Times profiled Durham twice at the beginning of 2013 raving about “the Bull City’s youth-driven renaissance,” on display at places like Fullsteam Brewery , Motorco Music Hall and in food trucks like Chirba Chirba and American Meltdown. Durham’s districts are a natural extension of the people who live there and are best experienced on foot. While many Duke students gravitate toward close-to campus areas like Ninth

The Durham Bulls are one of “Minor League Baseball’s Most Valuable Teams” (Forbes) and with tickets starting at around $6, the experience is enough to make anyone cheer.

DPAC was the third most attended theatre in the US from January-June 2013, putting it among peers like Radio City Music Hall and Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE (Pollstar Magazine).
