DUKES & DUCHESSES Recruitment 2016 Test Study Guide (As of January 27, 2016)

A note about the test: The D&D test is intended to assess your familiarity of Duke University, its history, and current events around the world, as we desire candidates that can speak knowledgeably with University leaders and campus guests. The test consists of two parts: Part I covers the history of Duke as outlined in this packet. These questions are factual and require an extensive knowledge of the information – we suggest that you study well in advance. Part II is a general knowledge section. It will cover current events here at Duke, in the Durham community, and around the world. Though there is no specific way to study for this section, it is suggested that you read The Chronicle regularly and stay informed on current events in the news, especially in the weeks leading up to the exam.

DURHAM Bartlett Snipes Durham, a physician, came to this part of North Carolina in 1853 and founded "Durhamville." A few years later, the tobacco industry in Durhamville was formed, and Bull Durham Smoking Tobacco was the first local product. In fact, the term "bullpen" in baseball originates from a Bull Durham ad which was painted behind the N.Y. Yankees' dugout.

When the Civil War ended, tobacco became the foundation of Durham industry. Men such as Julian Carr and Washington Duke both made their family fortunes in tobacco. In fact, Washington Duke and his sons entered the tobacco industry with their last dollars following the war. Washington and his sons traveled from town to town hawking their “brightleaf” tobacco which was sold in canvas bags that Washington Duke’s daughter had stitched together. The Dukes were so successful that they eventually created the American Tobacco Company, which, before the Sherman Anti-Trust laws were passed, controlled 90% of the American tobacco industry. Later, the monopoly was split into R.J. Reynolds, P. Lorillard, and Liggett and Myers.

Now, however, the biggest industry in Durham is medicine. More than twenty-five percent of the work force is employed in health---related occupations, and the doctor-to- population ratio is five times the national average. Durham has seen rapid expansion in recent years and currently has a population approaching 200,000. In 1994 the Raleigh- Durham area was rated the #1 place to live in the country by Money Magazine, which also rated the area Best Place to Live in the South as recently as 2000. Durham has also been recognized as the “South’s Tasiest Town”.

THE DUKE FAMILY The Duke family made their money in tobacco. Their American Tobacco Company controlled 90% of the American tobacco market, and when J.B. Duke sold his interest in the tobacco company near the turn of the century he made most of his fortune by then investing the money in hydroelectric power and starting the Duke Power Company. Duke used a generous portion of his fortune to fund his philanthropic endeavors.

The connections between the Duke family and Duke University date back far beyond James B. Duke's 1924 donation to Trinity College and include many other family members. Benjamin Duke, James’ brother, was a member of the Trinity Board of Trustees and played an important role in building lifelong connections between the Duke family and Trinity College. James and Benjamin’s father, Washington Duke was one of Trinity's strongest supporters and he was instrumental in the relocation of Trinity to Durham. It was Washington Duke who provided financial assistance for the move, while Julian Carr donated the land. Benjamin Duke was also a generous donor to the University and later, children of B.N. Duke would prove to be staunch supporters of Duke University. In 1925, the Angier Buchanan Duke Scholarship was established by Benjamin N. Duke in memory of his son. A.B. Duke played an important and active role in the University as a graduate, a member of the Board of Trustees and Vice-President and in 1922, President of the Alumni Association. His sister, Mary Duke Biddle, also played a vital role in Duke's history including overseeing the dedication of the gardens in memory of her mother Sarah P. Duke. Her daughter, Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans, is a very dedicated member of the Duke community and continues to be an active supporter and patron of the University. These are only a few of the individuals in the Duke family who have close ties to the University.

For more information on the Duke Family, please see attached genealogy.

JULIAN CARR Julian Carr was also a strong supporter of Trinity College and his ties to the institution date back to 1885, when he was a part of a three---man Management Committee that kept Trinity running after the death of President Craven. Carr also donated $10,000 to Trinity in 1887 for its endowment, a very substantial gift. Carr is reputed to have been North Carolina's first millionaire and is credited with the aggressive advertising campaign that popularized Bull Durham tobacco. This led to coining of the phrase "bullpen," as an ad for Bull Durham tobacco was painted behind the dugout of many major league baseball teams.

WEST CAMPUS West campus, completed in 1932, was built in a Neo---Gothic architectural style. It is currently comprised of many of the more important buildings for the University including academic and residential buildings. When facing the chapel, the “academic quad” is to the right and the “residential quad” (or Main West) is to the left. The statue in front of the chapel is one of James B. Duke. Legend has it that James B. Duke supposedly stood on the statue’s spot before the construction of the campus and used his cane to indicate where he wanted which building. His cigar represents the Duke family’s tobacco fortune; the monikers around the statue show his most important roles. The arrangement of stone on Duke’s older buildings was done with the intention of making the campus look older and more established, like its older, Northern counterparts.

THE CHAPEL Construction began on Duke Chapel in 1930. The interdenominational chapel seats 1800, and its 210-foot tower is patterned after the Bell Harry Tower of Canterbury Cathedral. James Duke would not allow any building on campus to be taller than the Chapel.

The figures that appear to guard the Chapel represent some important figures from history. The legend is that the men chosen by President Few were several of the men he most admired. Above the outside arch of the Chapel stand three figures. These three men were eighteenth century Methodist church leaders who came to America from England. From left to right they are: Bishops Thomas Coke and Frances Asbury, and missionary evangelist George Whitefield. The figures carved inside the entrance portal (beginning from the left) are Girolamo Savonarola, a 15th century Italian monk, reformer, and martyr; Martin Luther, a sixteenth century German religious reformer and John Wycliffe, a 14th century English translator of the Bible and martyr. In the center above the doors is a statue of John Wesley, the 18th century founder of Methodism. On the opposite side stand the three figures of Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, and Sidney Lanier – statesman, soldier, and poet of the South – respectively.

The stained glass windows in the chapel were designed and composed in the French tradition by Mr. S. Charles Jaekle of G. Owen Bonawit Inc. of New York. It took fifteen men almost three years to complete all of the windows. The ruby and blue glass was made in the United States while the yellow, brown, white, purple, and green glass came from England, France and Belgium. Over 1 million pieces of glass were used. In general, the upper windows illustrate scenes from the Old Testament while the lower level illustrates the New Testament.

The Memorial Chapel, a small room to the left of the chancel and the altar, houses the three sarcophagi in which (from left) Benjamin Newton Duke, Washington N. Duke, and James Buchanan Duke are interred. The three tombs were carved from over thirty tons of Carrara marble and designed by Charles Keck. The three limewood figures in the Memorial Chapel represent St. Paul (book and sword), Jesus, and St. Peter (keys). In the crypt below the main floor of the chapel are the tombs of Mrs. James B. Duke, Terry Sanford, and William Preston Few as well as several other important members of the university community.

A fifty bell, four-octave carillon was given in 1932 by George G. Allen and William R. Perkins, who were the first Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Duke Endowment. John Taylor and Company of Loughborough, England cast the bells and they are played at the close of each working day. The heaviest bell weighs 11,200 pounds and the mouth measures close to seven feet across. The smallest bell weighs only about 10 pounds and is a mere 6 inches across. The carillon was restored and rededicated in 1992.

At the back of the nave of the chapel is the Benjamin N. Duke Memorial Organ, built by Dirk A. Flentrop of Holland, and dedicated in 1976. This five-thousand pipe, five keyboard instrument was transported piece by piece from Europe to be reconstructed here. The Flentrop was specifically designed for music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but is easily adapted to fit music of any century. It is interesting to note as well that when first installed, the designers realized that the three second reverberation time of the chapel was insufficient for the size of the organ and a special sealer was applied to the walls and ceiling to raise the reverberation time to eight seconds. More than five million people have visited the chapel including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Contralto Marian Anderson. Additionally, the Dead Sea Scrolls were exhibited for a short time in the chapel in 1950.

The Chapel will be closed and under renovation from May 2015 to Spring 2016. In 2012 a team of structural engineers, materials scientists, and architects recommended that the University restore several features from the Chapel’s original 1932 construction to preserve and maintain the beauty and use of the building for generations to come. During this yearlong restoration of the Chapel, Construction crews are focusing on rehabilitating the Chapel’s limestone ceiling and replacing its original roof. LIBRARIES The original library on West Campus was built in 1930, and additions were made in 1948 and 1969. It was named after William R. Perkins in 1969. There are now five main libraries at Duke: the Medical Center Library, the Law Library, the Divinity School Library, the Business Library, and Perkins Library, which has ten branches, including the new Bostock Library. Today, Duke's library system boasts over 4.1 million volumes, 17.7 million manuscripts, and 14,000 periodical subscriptions.

Perkins also houses the University Archives which contain the records of the University. The Archives possess some of the oldest documents of the University, including the constitution of Union Institute Society which was adopted in 1839.

The newly renovated David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library opened in the fall of 2015 after construction began in late 2012. The project was financed by a $13.6 million gift from Chairman of the Board of Trustees David Rubenstein in 2011. The approximately $60 million renovation to Rubenstein Library focused on the original portions of the West Campus structure built in 1928 and 1948. Renovation highlights include adding new event spaces, study rooms, and technology resources. The first floor of the library includes the Mary Duke Biddle Rare Book Room, which houses some of Rubenstein’s special collections including history of anatomy textbooks.

BOSTOCK LIBRARY Opened on October 12, 2005, the Bostock Library (pronounced “BAH---stock”) comprises five floors of services and collections, which include the two---story Carpenter Reading Room, the Center for Instructional Technology, nine group study rooms, seven reading rooms, and wireless and high---speed Internet access. Bostock also houses the first stage of the Perkins Library Information Commons, whose 96 workstations offers Microsoft Office and other production software in addition to the Library’s rich electronic resources for the search and retrieval of information, enabling students to both research and write papers in the library.

The Bostock Library is named for the Bostock family, Roy and Merilee and their three children. The Bostocks, all of whom are Duke graduates, have contributed significantly to the university, financially and through their volunteer leadership. Roy Bostock is a former member of the board of trustees, and Merilee and Victoria are current members of the library advisory board.

When the facility first opened, many students mispronounced the name of the facility, calling it “BOH---stock” or “BAW---stock” The Bostock family, wishing to ensure that their name was pronounced correctly, held a contest to think of the best way to do so. They offered $500 to the student who thought of the best idea. One day, as students got off at the West Campus bus stop, they saw a petting zoo with sheep in it, as the animal has mastered the art of the first syllable of the Bostock family’s name. The lucky student with the idea won $500 In January 2015, The Ruppert Commons for Research + Technology + Collaboration, known as The Edge, opened with new group study spaces on the first floor of Bostock.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Card Gym The gym was built in 1930 and called Old Gym until 1958 when it was renamed for Wilbur "Cap" Card, a member of the athletic staff for more than 40 years. Card is called the father of North Carolina basketball.

Wallace Wade Stadium Built in 1930, the stadium seats 35,000. It was the site of the only Rose Bowl game played outside Pasadena, CA. The game was originally canceled, but then moved to Durham. Duke played Oregon State in that game on January 1, 1942, and bleacher seats from UNC and NC State were added to the stadium so that 55,000 people could attend. Unfortunately, Duke lost the game 20-16. Wallace Wade coached two teams that played in the Rose Bowl. Wallace Wade is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation in preparation for the 2015 season that will include the removal of the track, increased seating, a new press box, and other amenities.

Cameron Indoor Stadium Built in 1939, the stadium was renamed in 1972 for Edmund Cameron, to commemorate his 46 years of service to Duke. He was head basketball coach, head football coach, and athletic director. The stadium seats 8800. Named one of the top 5 places to watch sports in the United States by “Sports Illustrated” magazine. The decibel level in Cameron during a Duke-UNC game has been measured to be greater than that in the spaceship.

Brodie Recreation Center Originally named Memorial Gymnasium, it was built in 1923 as a memorial to the men who died in WWI. It was built with donations from Angier B. Duke and his sister Mary Duke Biddle. The Memorial Gymnasium is now part of a larger recreational facility called the Keith and Brenda Brodie Recreation Center in honor of the former Duke President and his wife. Renovations were completed in 1997.

Wilson Recreation Center Built in 1999, the Wilson Recreation Center is named after Gary Wilson (Duke Trustee) and his wife Barbara Thornhill who donated five million dollars towards the facility. The facility was built specifically for all non---varsity sports. It has state of the art weight and fitness machines, dance floors, meeting/class rooms and houses Intramural Team offices. The building is 99,000 sq. ft. The front lawn houses “K-ville” during basketball season.

Schwartz-Butters Athletic Complex Completed in 2000, it is the new home to the Men’s and Women’s varsity basketball teams. It also houses many Duke athletic staff members. The new building is state of the art, complete with conference, study, and locker rooms, as well as computer clusters for the players.

Sheffield Tennis Center Completed in 2000, the center is primarily used for varsity tennis teams. Cost – $4.4 million, including air- conditioned courts, locker rooms, coaches’ offices and a meeting place. It does open its doors to the public for a fee during limited times of the day. The space is also large enough to hold other events, including alumni gatherings and football tailgating events.

Yoh Football Center Completed in 2002, the 70,000 square foot, $20 million building is named for Harold “Spike” and Mary Yoh, who made a $5 million gift in 1999 to help begin the building's funding. The Yoh Center contains position meeting rooms, coaches' offices, a weight room, a speed and agility training area, a players' lounge, a recruitment area, an alumni lounge and trophy room, and a viewing deck.

DUKE GARDENS In 1932, Dr. Frederick Hanes was inspired to create an Iris garden. With help from Benjamin Duke's wife, Sarah P. Duke, Dr. Hanes was able to begin the construction of this dream. Unfortunately, a series of floods destroyed most of his efforts. The idea did not die however, and in 1939, Mary Duke Biddle helped to establish the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in honor of her mother, Sarah Pearson Duke. The Sarah P. Duke Gardens consist of 55 acres of a combination of developed and undeveloped gardens with floral displays arranged on a seasonal basis. There are over 5 miles of paths and walkways and over 1500 different kinds of plants in the Gardens. An estimated 400,000 people annually visit the gardens, which are open to the public free of charge.

The Terraces, which are the oldest section of the Gardens, were designed in the late 1930s by landscape architect Ellen Shipman. The gardens also contain the Blomquist garden of native plants with over 900 species and varieties native to the south. The Blomquist garden was established in 1969 in memory of Professor Hugo L. Blomquist, teacher, researcher, and founder of Duke's Botany Department. The Blomquist Pavilion was designed by Linda Jewell. Jewell also designed the Asiatic Arboretum, which was initiated in 1984. The 20-acre Asiatic Arboretum contains more than 550 species and cultivates of Asian plants at this point.

DORIS DUKE CENTER The Doris Duke Center, a visitor and educational center designed to complement the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, opened to the public in 2001. Named for the daughter of Duke University founder James B. Duke, the 12,000 square foot building includes classrooms, a horticultural library, a reception hall, a gift shop, offices and extensive landscaping. Designed by Atkin, Olshin, Lawson Bell & Associates of Philadelphia, the center allows the gardens to better fulfill its educational mission, offering programs to schoolchildren and adult classes for garden clubs. The center is also used for a variety of university functions, including receptions, symposia, exhibitions and even retirement gatherings. It also can be rented for weddings and other special occasions. Among the center's various architectural attributes are a cathedral ceiling, cherry wood floors, large beams made of Douglas fir, a copper roof and plenty of windows for natural lighting.

THE BRYAN CENTER The concept of a University center was formulated in 1964 under President Doug Knight and the idea became a reality under President Terry Sanford. The project, begun in 1972, was to design an area that would offer the Duke community a space for cultural, social, commercial and service activities.

Within the Bryan Center there are three theaters – Reynolds Theater, Griffith Film Theater, and Sheafer Theater, named after Emma Sheafer. Also included in the center are the offices for the Union, DSG, the Black Student Alliance, Fraternity and Sorority Life and Student Activities. There are a variety of meeting locations including the Von Canon banquet facilities. It also contains the University Book Store, the Post Office, and bank machines. A later addition to the Bryan Center is the student TV studio, Cable 13.

In 1971 the Center was officially named the Joseph M. and Kathleen Price Bryan Center. The two gave over $3 million toward the project. Groundbreaking occurred in 1978 and the building was to be completed in late 1979. However, due to miscalculations And inflation, the projected $8 million expense jumped to almost $15 million and consequently the Bryan Center was not finished until 1982. In order to complete the project, students raised money from individuals, alumni, and class donations.

WEST UNION Completed in 1931, the West Union was the original location of the University’s cornerstone. The basement once served as the school’s "Main Street" with a soda shop, post office, bookstore, bank and laundry. Occupants now include several dining halls, the DukeCard office, the Faculty Commons, and the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture. The building also connects Page auditorium and the Plaza and is home to the Great Hall, the biggest and most diverse West Campus eatery.

Thanks to an $80 million gift from the Duke Endowment, West Union is currently under its first major renovation in over eighty years. Construction is expected to last until early 2016. When completed, West Union will be home to a wide variety of food venues, student gathering spaces, and multi-purpose areas.

EVENTS PAVILION Construction of the 25,000-square-foot Pavilion was completed in June 2013. A largely glass enclosure, the Pavilion is currently housing dining operations during the West Union renovations. Upon completion of West Union, the Events Pavilion will be used as a venue for student gatherings and university events.

NASHER MUSEUM The Nasher Museum of Art opened its new building, designed by architect Rafael Viñoly, on October 2, 2005, creating a major new center for the arts on campus. The $23 million museum fosters multidisciplinary learning and serves the Research Triangle area with its 65,000 square feet of space, of which 14,000 square feet is devoted to gallery space. Nearly 3,000 people came to Nasher on its opening day, which far exceeded what the former Duke University Museum of Art (DUMA) could have held. Currently, the museum houses over 13,000 pieces of art, many of which is currently in storage below the main floor.

VON DER HEYDEN PAVILION This open, glass-walled space opened on October 12, 2005 to serve as a place for gathering and studying, reading and writing, conversation and collaboration. The new café inside the Pavilion, operated by the Saladelia, opened in 2006 to replace the old café run by Mad Hatter’s Bake Shop. The Pavilion is named for Karl and Mary Ellen von der Heyden in recognition of their generous financial support to the university. Karl von der Heyden currently serves on the board of trustees and chaired the library’s Campaign for Duke Committee.

THE DIVINITY SCHOOL The Divinity School, originally known as the School of Religion, was established in 1926. It began with 6 instructors and 23 students. As Duke was originally affiliated with the Methodist church, the Divinity School served as a center for the North Carolina Methodist Conference. Today, the Divinity School retains its Methodist affiliation while operating as a major ecumenical center.

THE TERRY SANFORD INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC POLICY Built of German limestone, the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy is a 52,000 sq. ft. facility designed by Architectural Resources Cambridge, Inc. of Cambridge, Mass. that houses space for both undergraduates and graduates. ARC also designed the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. The building was dedicated in December of 1994 and is named after former Duke President Terry Sanford.

RUBENSTEIN HALL The Sanford Institute’s second building, Rubenstein Hall, opened in August 2005 to serve as home to several growing Sanford programs, including the Center for Child and Family Policy, the Center for Health Policy, Law and Management, and the Master’s in Public Policy Program. The 46,000---squre---foot building doubles the Institute’s office space, and former U.S. Secretary of State General Colin Powell gave the keynote address at its official dedication ceremony in November 2005.

THE FUQUA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Duke’s business school was renamed the Fuqua School of Business in 1980 in honor of J.B. Fuqua’s gift of $10 million to the school. Fuqua’s motivation for donating such a large gift to the university stemmed from the fact that as a boy he borrowed books from the Duke library through a mail program that the university participated in. It was through these books that Fuqua gleaned much of his education. Fuqua never attended college, but through his determination and intelligence, he went on to build Fuqua Industries, a Fortune 500 company. In appreciation for the role that Duke University played in his education, Fuqua donated $10 million to the business school. He has since made additional gifts to the Fuqua School including $4 million in 1989 to create a program to train senior managers from Russia in the principles of a free-market economy.

THE R. DAVID THOMAS CENTER The R. David Thomas Center, a three building complex spanning 103,000 square feet, provides Duke University's Fuqua School of Business with an executive education program to meet the needs of American industry. A $4 million naming gift from Fuqua’s friend, R. David Thomas, senior Chairman of the Board and founder of Wendy's International, Inc., allowed to Fuqua School to begin construction of a facility that would train business executives from around the country. The facility, opened in May 1989, contains 113 guest rooms and a variety of classrooms and computer facilities for those enrolled in the executive education program. It now has an international focus as well.

STUDENT PLAZA Completed in the fall of 2006, the West Campus Student Plaza replaced the former Bryan Center walkway with 40,000 square feet of elevated space that connects the West Union Building, Page Auditorium and the Bryan Center. The space has misters, food carts, space for tabling, and a performance area. The total construction cost $10 million.

FRENCH FAMILY SCIENCE CENTER In December 2006, the board of trustees agreed to name the new facility the French Family Science Center in honor of Duke trustee and alumna Melinda French Gates and her family. In May 2002, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced it would give Duke $30 million to support the new science facility. Melinda French Gates, a former Microsoft executive, earned two bachelor's degrees at Duke, one in computer science and the other in economics, and an MBA at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. Her husband, Bill, is the founder and chairman of Microsoft.

The $115 million, 280,000-square-foot French French Family Science Building opened in January, 2007, features state-of-the-art research and teaching laboratories for genomics, biological chemistry, materials science, nanoscience, physical biology and bioinformatics, and chemistry. The project included six new research greenhouses to house one of the most diverse collections of plants under glass in the Southeast, comprising more than 2,000 different species from many environments. The building is 520 feet long and 106 feet wide at the South end (near Gross Chemistry) and 132 feet wide at the North end (near the Levine Science Research Center). The building has received a Silver rating {LEED™ Certification} from the USGBC.

Fact Sheet of French Science Center ² 59,000 sq.ft. recycled carpet ² 94% of the new wood in the building is FSC (renewable) certified. ² 170,000 sq.ft. of recycled ceiling tile and 11,000 sf of recycled metal ceiling. ² 15,000 sq.ft. of green roofs ² 51% water use savings by utilizing waterless urinals, low flow water closets, and low flow sinks. ² 120 bicycle bike rack – promotes alternative transportation ² 275 windows with energy efficiency glazing and reflective louvers to bounce daylight off the ceilings into the interior spaces ² 44% energy use reduction due to wall construction, high albedo (reflective) roofs, energy efficient glazing, energy efficient lighting, occupancy sensor controlled lighting, low-flow fume hoods and a heat recovery system that captures heat (or cooling) from the exhaust air stream and uses it to pre-heat (or pre-cool) the supply air.

THE NICHOLAS SCHOOL OF THE ENVIRONMENT The School of the Environment began as the School of Forestry in 1938. In 1974 this name was changed to School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. The name was again changed in 1991 when the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies was combined with the Marine Lab to form the School of the Environment. A final name alteration took place in December 1995 when the school was renamed the Nicholas School of the Environment in recognition of the generous gift of $20 million by Peter and Ginny Nicholas. THE SCHOOL OF LAW The School of Law first opened in 1904. Although it underwent many changes and experienced much difficulty, by the 1930s the law program was relatively strong. In 1932, Duke had amassed the largest law library in the South. In the 30s there were no dormitories provided for the graduate students or professional students and the Dean of the Law School was able to persuade the administration to erect five log cabins in the Duke Forest for the law students. These cabins attracted much national attention. One of the most well---known graduates of the Duke School of Law was former President Richard Nixon. There was, at one point in time, discussion about the establishment of a Nixon Library here, but the university did not wish to undertake such a venture. In spring of 1995, the Law School celebrated the completion of an addition to its library.

DUKE MEDICAL CENTER AND THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE The School of Medicine opened in 1930 and quickly became one of the strongest components of the University. Wilburt Cornell Davison was the first dean of the school. It was during this time of new growth for the fledgling program that Davison picked Julian Daryl Hart to be the Head of Surgery. Hart would go on to play a very influential role in the university's history as the president of Duke University. The Medical Center and the School of Medicine have played very important roles in Duke's development as a major research institution. The Medical Center is especially vital to the financial operations of the university and provides the largest part of the university's annual income. Most recently, the Medical Center and the National University of Singapore formalized their partnership in April 2005 to begin working on establishing Singapore’s first Graduate Medical School, which will welcome its first class in the Fall 2007. Current dean of the School of Medicine, Dr. R. Sanders Williams, will also act as dean of the new school.

THE PRATT SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING The School of Engineering traces its origins back to 1851. In 1927, following the creation of Duke University, separate departments were established for civil and electrical engineering. The mechanical engineering department was established in 1931. In 1937 these three departments were grouped to form the Division of Engineering and in 1939 this became the College of Engineering. In September 1966 the name of the college was changed to the School of Engineering. A division of biomedical engineering was added in 1967 and in 1971 it became a full---fledged department. The department of Civil and Environmental Engineering was established in 1982.

It is interesting to note that when the engineering program began operation, most engineering students were housed in Southgate and Epworth Halls on East Campus.

PRATT FACILITIES

THE LEVINE SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (LSRC) The Leon Levine Science Research Center was, to date, the most ambitious construction project ever undertaken by Duke University. The purpose of the $77.5 million project was to create an environment where professors from diverse academic backgrounds could come together to build teams of research scientists. The 175,000 sq. ft. complex provides laboratories, offices and classrooms where over 1,000 professors, researchers, and students now interact. Former Provost Phillip Griffiths and Senior Vice President for Research Administration and Policy Charles Putman played key roles in shaping the project, which opened in 1994.

THE TEER BUILDING The Nello L. Teer Library Building opened in 1984. It is located next to Hudson Hall, separated by an azalea---filled courtyard and a walkway. The Teer Engineering Building houses the Vesic Library, the Dean's Office (of the Pratt School of Engineering), and more. The Vesic Library for Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, named in memory of Dr. Aleksandar Vesic, houses books and journals supporting the teaching and research interests in the following engineering disciplines: biomedical, civil, computer, electrical, materials science and mechanical.

HUDSON HALL Hudson Hall is the oldest of the buildings in the Engineering Complex. It was built in 1948 when the Engineering School moved to Duke's West Campus and was known as "Old Red." An Annex was built onto the back of the building in 1972, and in 1992 the building was expanded again and renamed Hudson Hall to honor Fitzgerald S. "Jerry" Hudson (E'46). Hudson Hall is home to all four departments in the Pratt School of Engineering, as well as some of the school's laboratories, offices, and classrooms.

THE SMART HOME The Home Depot Smart Home, completed after four years of construction in November of 2007, is a 6,000 square foot live---in research laboratory operated by Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. The Home Depot Smart Home, part of a Duke Smart Home Program, creates a dynamic "living laboratory" environment that contributes to the innovation and demonstration of future residential building technology. Its central goal is to demonstrate that smart homes can improve quality of life for people of all ages and incomes. Beginning in the spring 2008 semester, ten students reside in the smart home.

THE FITZPATRICK CENTER (FCIEMAS) The four-building, 322,000-square-foot complex features undergraduate teaching and project labs, state-of-the-art research facilities and “intellectual collision spaces” where faculty, staff and students can work together. The $97 million complex was designed by the architectural firm Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership, and built by Skanska. The Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine, and Applied Sciences complex is also one of Duke University's first facilities to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) building standards (before the French Family Science Center). The Fitzpatrick Center supports teaching and research efforts in bioengineering; photonics and communications systems; integrated environmental sensing and simulation; and biologically inspired materials sciences and materials engineering. It also expands the Pratt School of Engineering’s partnership with the School of Medicine, providing laboratories for collaborative research in healthcare, genomics and biotechnology. In 2005 an online a nanofabrication facility to support Pratt’s collaborations with the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences was built. The Fitzpatrick Center also houses Pratt’s professional master’s degree program in engineering management and entrepreneurship in collaboration with the School of Law and the Fuqua School of Business.

CENTRAL CAMPUS Central Campus is an area between East and West Campus that is roughly the same size as West Campus. The area currently provides housing for approximately 1,000 students. Of these spaces, approximately 850 are allocated to undergraduate (juniors and seniors, with majority being juniors). Graduate students are allocated 200 spaces on Central Campus and Swift Avenue Townhouses. These apartments include efficiency, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units and are fully furnished. Recreation and social facilities on Central Campus include basketball, tennis and sand volleyball courts, a swimming pool, barbecue grills, Devil's Den, and Uncle Harry's convenience store. In 2005, a Central Campus Planning Committee was chartered to create a plan for renovations to Central Campus. Though those plans were approved, economic conditions in 2008 prevented their coming to fruition. In 2010, Mill Village, a central gathering place and social area opened, featuring a new restaurant, Devil’s Bistro, a small recreation center and other facilities.

EAST CAMPUS While West Campus is commonly looked upon as the more architecturally interesting campus, East Campus plays an integral part in the history of the University. East Campus is the original site of Trinity College, which became the nucleus of Duke University in 1924. In 1892, President John F. Crowell convinced the trustees of Trinity College that the future of the college lay in a more urban setting. Durham was selected due to the support of Washington Duke and Julian Carr. Duke pledged $85,000 for buildings and an endowment and Carr donated 62 ½ acres of land. The land that Carr donated was formerly the site of the bankrupt Blackwell Park, a fair ground and racetrack. The park was frequented by employees of Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Company, where Julian Carr worked in the advertising and merchandising department.

In 1924, upon James B. Duke's donation to Trinity College, East Campus underwent radical change. At the same time construction was begun on West Campus 1.2 miles down the road, the Georgian---style buildings and the original Trinity buildings were being built and remodeled. East Campus eventually became the site of Duke University's Woman's College and remains a testimony to the history of women at Duke today. A plaque bearing the inscription "Duke University Woman's College" can still be found on the entrance gates to the University today. In 1970 the process of integrating the two campuses began; this culminated in 1972 when women were first given housing on West Campus in Broughton. In 1997, East Campus became an all-freshman campus.

While West Campus can be seen as a monument to James B. Duke, East Campus is the unmarked monument to his brother, Benjamin N. Duke. It was B.N. Duke who surrounded the 109-acre campus with the 2 mile grey stone wall and funded the building of many of the earlier structures that can still be seen.

EAST CAMPUS BUILDINGS AND MONUMENTS

MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM: Built in 1923, the Memorial Gymnasium was a memorial to the men who died in WWI. It was built with donations from Angier B. Duke and his sister Mary Duke Biddle. Renovations to the gym were completed in 1998. The Memorial Gymnasium is now part of a larger recreational facility called the Keith and Brenda Brodie Recreation Center in honor of the former Duke President and his wife.

BLACKWELL AND RANDOLPH (formerly East Dorms 1A-1B AND 2A-2B): Costing over $13 million, these two dorms were completed in 1994. Blackwell is named after the former racetrack that East Campus is built on, while Randolph is a memorial to the earlier home of Trinity College, Randolph County.

BELL TOWER: As the first dorm to open on East Campus since Randolph and Blackwell in 1994, the $15---million Bell Tower Dormitory opened in August of 2005. Bell Tower is the only four---story residence hall on East and aside from serving as home to 150 freshmen, the dormitory also includes wireless Internet access, a Duke University Police Department substation, a media room with a 61---inch plasma television screen, a music room, and several classrooms and meeting rooms. Most notably, the 6,500---pound Trinity College bell sits atop of the northwest corner of the building. This bell, also known as “Marse Jack” after President John “Jack” Kilgo, was donated by Benjamin Duke after the bell in the Washington Duke Building, or the “old college bell” most famous for being rung in 1903 when academic freedom was declared in the Bassett Affair, was destroyed by a fire in 1911.

LILLY LIBRARY: Formerly known as the East Campus Library or the Woman's College Library, Lilly was built in 1927 and renamed in 1990 in recognition a generous gift from Miss Ruth Lilly. Lilly underwent extensive renovations in 1993. The library was considered the art center for the university until the creation of the Duke University Museum of Art in 1969. Outside the library are some of the oldest artifacts in the university's history, the Trinity Lamp Posts. These lamp posts, which stand in the main quadrangle flanking the library, once supported the balcony in the college auditorium in Randolph County, the original location of Trinity College, 75 miles west on I-85. Lilly Library also houses the James A. Thomas Memorial Room, which was formally opened in 1942. This room contains many fine pieces of Chinese art, including an imperial robe from the Qing Dynasty that was donated by Mrs. Douglas MacArthur in 1966. MARY DUKE BIDDLE MUSIC BUILDING: Built in 1974, this building was designed by Edward Durrell Stone, head of an internationally known architectural firm. It was named in honor of Mary Duke Biddle, daughter of B.N. Duke. (see section on Duke Family) The building houses a rehearsal hall, 35 practice rooms, facilities for electronic music and recording, a media center and a music library. On the wall of the rehearsal hall is a plaque that records the names of 25 Duke dance band leaders between 1926 and 1974, including Johnny Long, who achieved national distinction with his Duke Collegians, and Les Brown and his Blue Devils. The dedication of the building drew such famous musicians as violinist Isaac Stern, contralto Marian Anderson, jazz great Dizzy Gillespie, and representatives from Lincoln Center, the Ford Foundation and the New York Philharmonic.

BALDWIN AUDITORIUM: Baldwin Auditorium was built in 1927 and is named in honor of Alice Mary Baldwin, the first Dean of the Women's College and the first female member of the Duke faculty. The auditorium, which seats 1400, is used as a performance hall by many of the University's musical organizations.

BASSETT RESIDENTIAL HALL: Built in 1927, Bassett Dormitory is named after Professor John Spencer Bassett, Trinity '88 and a professor of history. It was Prof. Bassett whose remark that Booker T. Washington was the "greatest man, save General Lee, born in the South in a hundred years" incited the famous controversy on academic freedom known as the Bassett Affair. After Bassett's remark, all but two North Carolina newspapers demanded that he be dismissed from his position. The Board of Trustees, in a meeting that lasted over seven hours, voted eighteen to seven to support Bassett and keep him on the faculty. This was a landmark decision and one that was later praised by many, including President Teddy Roosevelt, in a speech he gave on East Campus during a tour of the South.

BROWN RESIDENTIAL HALL: Brown Residence Hall was built in 1927 and named after Joseph Gill Brown, a Trinity dropout (ex '75). Brown later returned to Duke, however, and served on the Board of Trustees for thirty-four years and as Chairman for ten of those years.

CROWELL HALL: Built in 1892, Crowell Hall was originally called Technological Building and then changed to Crowell Science Hall in 1896 in honor of President Crowell's late wife.

THE ARK: Built in 1899 and originally called Angier Buchanan Duke Gymnasium, it was the site of the second intercollegiate basketball game in N.C. between Trinity and Wake Forest, played on March 2, 1906. Trinity lost 24---10. Much of the lumber used came from the old racetrack grandstand in Blackwell Park. In the 1930s, the structure was remodeled and has since been nicknamed the Ark. It has been used as a bowling alley and a laundromat and is currently a dance studio.

EAST DUKE BUILDING: East Duke was built in 1912. It is made of white pressed brick, Indiana sandstone and roofed with green tile. It houses the art and art history departments as well as the Ernest W. Nelson Music Room. East Duke was the site of the historic meeting that took place on December 29, 1924 when the trustees of Trinity College met officially to transform Trinity into Duke University. Both James B. Duke and his brother Benjamin lay in state in the west parlor prior to their burials. One of the most famous creative writing courses in Duke's history was also held in East Duke. William Blackburn's English 103-104 course produced such writers as William Styron, Reynolds Price and Anne Tyler.

THE SOWER STATUE: This bronze statue located in front of East Duke was donated by James B. Duke in 1914. The sculptor was Stephan Anton Friedrich Walter and the figure is that of a 17th century peasant sowing in the fields.

WASHINGTON DUKE STATUE: The seated figure of Washington Duke was commissioned by 200 friends shortly after Duke's death. It is the work of Edward V. Valentine.

WEST DUKE BUILDING: West Duke was built in 1911, and was originally intended to be part of a three-unit structure which was never completed. The first book room and store, as well as the first barber shop and post office, were located in West Duke. In 1935, West Duke was the original home of the J.B. Rhine Institute of Parapsychology (which was later moved to 402 Buchanan Blvd. where it is still housed today). Rhine's experiments in extrasensory perception were quite controversial and his relationship with Duke University is a very interesting one. For more information on J.B. Rhine, refer to his book, New Frontiers of the Mind. Today, West Duke has many classrooms and houses the Psychology Dept. and the Talent Identification Program as well as the R.O.T.C. program.
