Duke University is a relative new- Blue Devils to Watch comer to the list of American universi- ties. Although the school traces its roots to 1838 and a one-room school- house in nearby Randolph County, and for many years it enjoyed a strong regional reputation as Trinity College in Durham, NC, the university known as Duke was launched only in 1924, thanks to the generosity of James B. Duke,

Over a mere eight decades, it has sustained its devotion to undergradu- ate teaching while gaining worldwide acclaim for its dedication to discovery and service. Duke prides itself on a notably aggressive pursuit of quality in its people and its programs - un- dergraduate, graduate, and professional - that is evident in, among other things, the Blue Devils' passionate commitment to athletics.

Duke today is an international university, but it is one that has kept its values and a sense of its roots as well as the friendliness and courtesy that are part of its regional heritage. The 6,347 undergraduates come from all 50 states and more than 40 countries, providing a diversity of backgrounds and experience that deepens an environment for learning outside as well as inside the classrooms and laboratories. #9 Thaddeus Lewis, QB

2008 TIGER FOOTBALL How do you spot the team that does whatever it takes?

Just look for the grass stains, the cuts, and the bruises i

It's the competitor who keeps fighting no matter what the Death Valley scoreboard says.

It's the player who knows there is no "off season."

It's the packed stadium decorated in a sea of brilliant orange.

It's respecting traditions like Howard's Rock and running down the hill.

That's the kind of passion we bring to our customers each day.

And it's why we proudly support the orange and white in everything they do.

We're Carolina First. And we do whatever it takes to help our Clemson Tigers achieve victory.
