  • The Cigarette Card Series of W. Duke, Sons &
    CAPITALIZING ON TABOOS IN ADVERTISING: THE CIGARETTE CARD SERIES OF W. DUKE, SONS & COMPANY by Janet Katelyn Hammond Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of History and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May, 2018 Approved by: Michael C.

Behrent, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director Jefford Vahlbusch, Ph.D., Dean, The Honors College Hammond 1 Abstract This essay reveals the themes displayed in the cigarette card series produced at W. Duke, Sons & Co. from 1880 to 1900. The following mainly draws upon the cards themselves, the Duke family’s and the business’s correspondence, and other miscellaneous company notes. Topics covered include: a historiography, a family history, an overview of the cigarette and tobacco industries, late-eighteenth century capitalism and advertising methods, the interworking of the Duke company, and how the cigarette card series reflect all of these components. The overall argument is that the executives of this enterprise cashed in on the taboos of this time period while offering no new perspectives about the existing social hierarchy in the United States.

    The Duke Community Standard in Practice: A Guide for Undergraduates Duke Community2012-2013 Standard in Practice 1 UNIVERSITY’S MISSION STATEMENT James B. Duke's founding Indenture of Duke University directed the members of the University to “provide real leadership in the educational world” by choosing individuals of “outstanding character, ability, and vision” to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty; by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our wisdom, and promote human happiness.” To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate students, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high ethical standards and full participation as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the learned professions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who suffer, cure disease, and promote health, through sophisticated medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power of information technologies; and to promote a deep appreciation for the range of human difference and potential, a sense of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to learning, freedom and truth.

  • The Duke Lacrosse Case and the Blogosphere
    07__JOHNSON__CONTRACT PROOF.DOC 11/18/2008 11:42:21 AM THE DUKE LACROSSE CASE AND THE BLOGOSPHERE KC JOHNSON* I INTRODUCTION On December 28, 2006, Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong filed his initial response to the North Carolina State Bar grievance committee’s complaint that he had unethically withheld exculpatory DNA evidence in the Duke lacrosse case. Nifong concluded his missive with a swipe at the blogosphere: A well-connected and well-financed (but not, I would suggest, well-intentioned) group of individuals—most of whom are neither in nor from North Carolina—have taken it upon themselves to ensure that this case never reaches trial. (And if this seems like paranoid delusion to you, perhaps you should check out websites such as former Duke Law School graduate and current Maryland attorney Jason Trumpbour’s www.friendsofdukeuniversity.blogspot.com/, which has not only called for me to be investigated, removed from this case, and disbarred, but has also provided instructions on how to request such actions and to whom those requests should be sent.)1 A few months earlier, the District Attorney had similarly complained about the blogosphere. Asked in June 2006 by Newsweek reporter Susannah Meadows to comment on the mounting evidence of actual innocence, Nifong replied, “I have seen quite a bit of media speculation (and it is even worse on the blogs) that either starts from a faulty premise or builds to a demonstrably false conclusion. That is not my fault.”2 Nifong was hardly the only prominent figure associated with the case who read the blogs.

  • Durham Cultural Master Plan
    Durham Cultural Master Plan Summary August 2004 What You Need to Know about Durham’s Cultural Master Plan Why is Durham’s arts and culture sector a vital asset? - Durham’s cultural organizations and artists add $103 million annually to the economic activity in Durham. That’s a significant boost to our city’s economic development. - Arts and culture is a significant business sector of the current and future Durham. According to a recent state-wide research study on arts economic impact in North Carolina, the average number of non-profit arts and cultural organizations per county in our state is 19. Durham County has more than 150 non-profit arts and cultural organizations, and more than 900 artists. Additionally it has a lively mix of commercial arts and entertainment providers. - A number of Durham’s own cultural assets are known internationally and nationally, including African American Dance Ensemble, American Dance Festival, NCCU Jazz Ensemble, Full Frame Film Festival, The Hayti Heritage Center and its Blues Festival, Durham Arts Council, Mallarmé Chamber Players, and the arts museums of NCCU and Duke. - Ninety percent of respondents to the Durham Cultural Master Plan’s Civic- Community-Business Leaders Survey agreed that arts and culture provide great ways to learn about our various ethnic and racial backgrounds. Ninety-two percent of the survey respondents agreed that “learning art skills is an important way to master other basic skills.” - National studies have proven that arts programs decrease youth delinquency, enhance a child’s development, encourage conflict resolution, build tolerance and self-respect, provide safe havens for youth, reduce criminal activity, teach job skills, improve attitudes, behavior, and academic performance.

  • Camping out with the Crazies Duke Student Tells the Inside Story of Krzyzewskiville
    Camping Out with the Crazies Duke Student Tells the Inside Story of Krzyzewskiville Recent Duke University graduate Aaron Dinin has produced an entertaining, imaginative look at Krzyze- wskiville, the tent city named after Duke University’s head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski (Sha-shef- ski). A unique Duke tradition, Krzyzewskiville is used to determine which students are admitted into key games. Taking Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales as his model, Dinin has created characters who nar- rate their semi-fictionalized tales—by turns reverent, bawdy, and humorous—to enlighten readers about this cherished institution. So the story begins. On a wintry night in Durham, North Carolina, writes Dinin, twelve students huddle under the meager protection of a nylon tent. They have little in common except the sacrosanct tra- dition that has brought them together for the past month. Before the sun next sets, they will anoint them- selves in blue and white paint and enter nearby Cameron Indoor Stadium to worship at the altar of Blue Devil basketball. In the meantime, they abide in Krzyzewskiville. A stranger enters the tent, a respected sportswriter, and suggests that the tenters pass the hours un- til the next tent check by telling stories of Krzyzewskiville. Like Chaucer’s pilgrims, the students compete to tell the best tale. They report on ribald tenting exploits, relate a dream in which Duke basketball players and coaches test a fan’s loyalty, debate the rationality of tenting as a way of allocating students’ tickets, and describe the spontaneous tent city that sprang up one summer when their beloved “Coach K” was offered a job elsewhere.
