Duke Staff Handbook DUKE STAFF HANDBOOK “…itisuptoustoset anexampleofhowa communityofpeople workingtogethertoward acommonpurpose canrealizeoutrageous ambitions.” VincentE.Price President Checkout ,~,_ UKE forthelatestnews,resources&conversation Print: Working@Dukepublication Online:working.duke.edu Facebook:facebook.com/workingatduke 0 Twitter: twitter.com/workingatduke WELCOME TO DUKE As President, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Duke! Duke’s employees are among the university’s greatest strengths. When you work here, you don’t just do the job and go home. You’re part of the campus community. You share in the university’s successes and help define its identity. Former president Terry Sanford perhaps put it best: every person who works for Duke is important to Duke; they are all Duke University People. As a new Duke University Person, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with this handbook, which is intended to help you establish a successful working relationship with the Duke community. It outlines the many resources and opportunities that are available to you as an employee, and it should help you understand what Duke expects from you as a staff member and what you should expect from Duke. You can find answers to additional questions by reviewing the Duke Human Resources Policy Manual (hr.duke.edu/policies) or by speaking with your supervisor. I also invite you to share in the responsibility of shaping the university’s identity and guiding it toward a more inclusive future. Duke is about much more than what happens in the classroom or the lab; it is up to us to set an example of how a community of people working together toward a common purpose can realize outrageous ambitions. Again, welcome to Duke! We are glad you are here. Sincerely, Vincent E. Price President 1 Please refer to the Duke Human Resources Policy Manual at hr.duke.edu/policies for more detailed information.

THE HEIR PRESUMPTIVE AND THE HEIR APPARENT CHAPTER I When Agnes went upstairs after this genial but interrupted meal she was met by her sister's maid, who begged her to go at once to Lady Frogmore. " My lady's very restless," said the attendant, who was something more than a maid, the same who had brought her home after her recovery. " You don't think there's anything wrong ? " said Agnes, breathless, for notwithstanding the tranquillity of so many years, any trifle was enough to rouse her anxieties. " Oh, I hope not," said the maid. This was enough, it need not be said, to VOL. III. B THE HEIR PRESUMPTIVE send Miss Hill trembling to her sister's side. Mary was lying very quietly in bed, with some boxes on the table beside her, and a miniature of her husband, which she always carried about with her, in her hands. " You wanted me, Mary ? " " No," said Lady Frogmore gently ; then, after a pause : " Yes ; I hope you will not be disappointed, dear Agnes ; I think I must go home." " Home ! but we came for Duke's party."

Over the centuries, certain customs and traditions have been established regarding styles and forms of address; they follow below: a. Duke & Duchess: Formal style: "The Most Noble the Duke of (title); although this is now very rare; the style is more usually, “His Grace the Duke of (Hamilton), and his address is, "Your Grace" or simply, "Duke” or “Duchess.” The eldest son uses one of his father's subsidiary titles as a courtesy. Younger sons use "Lord" followed by their first name (e.g., Lord David Scott); daughters are "Lady" followed by their first name (e.g., Lady Christina Hamilton); in conversation, they would be addressed as Lord David or Lady Christina. The same rules apply to eldest son's sons and daughters. The wife of a younger son uses”Lady” prior to her husbands name, (e.g. Lady David Scot) b. Marquess & Marchioness: Formal style: "The Most Honourable the Marquess/Marchioness (of) (title)" and address is "My Lord" or e.g., "Lord “Bute.” Other rules are the same as dukes.

The eldest son uses one of his father's subsidiary titles as a courtesy.
