Duke University is a private, coeducational, research university located in Durham, North Carolina, USA.

Although founded in 1924, Duke traces its roots back to 1838. Beginning in the 1970s, Duke administrators began a long-range effort to strengthen Duke's reputation both nationally and internationally. The university shed some programs and focused attention and money on selected departments which the university believed would rapidly become world-class. Interdisciplinary work was emphasized, for example, as was the recruitment of greater numbers of underrepresented minority faculty and students.[2] Vast construction projects transformed both east and west campuses as well as the adjacent medical center.

History

Template:Duketime

Beginnings

What is known today as Duke University started as Brown's Schoolhouse, a private subscription school founded in 1838 in Randolph County, North Carolina in the current day town of Trinity. This school was organized by the Union Institute Society, a group of Methodists and Quakers under the leadership of Reverend York, and in 1841, North Carolina issued a charter for Union Institute Academy. The state legislature granted a rechartering of the academy as Normal College in 1851, and the privilege of granting degrees in 1853. To keep the school operating, the trustees agreed to provide free education for Methodist preachers in return for financial support by the church, and in 1859 the transformation was formalized with a name change to Trinity College.

This era was a time of important firsts. In 1871, Chi Phi was organized as the school's first student social organization. In 1878, Mary, Persis, and Theresa Giles became the first women to be awarded degrees. In 1881, Yao-ju "Charlie" Soong from Weichau, China enrolled, becoming the school's first international student.

The move to Durham

The Washington Duke Building, "Old Main". One of the original buildings on the original Durham campus (now East Campus), it was later destroyed when the campus was rebuilt
Epworth. Built as a dorm and still standing on East Campus today, Epworth is only about one-third its original size after a fire

In 1887, Yale-educated economist John Franklin Crowell became president of Trinity College. Committed to the German university model which emphasized research over recitation, Crowell directed a major revision in the curriculum and convinced the trustees to move to a more urban location. In 1892, Trinity opened in Durham, largely because of the generosity and persuasion of Washington Duke, his son Benjamin Newton Duke, and Julian S. Carr, influential and respected Methodists who had grown prosperous through the tobacco industry (see American Tobacco Company and Duke Power). Carr donated the site, which today is Duke's East Campus.

"Les Diables Bleus" French military unit

John F. Kilgo became president in 1894 and he greatly increased the interest of the Duke family in Trinity. Washington Duke offered three gifts of $100,000 (about $2,200,000 in 2005 dollars) each for endowment. Trinity was the first white institution of higher education in the South to invite Booker T. Washington to speak (in 1900). That same year Trinity graduated its first Native American student. By World War I, Trinity College had developed into one of the leading liberal arts colleges in the southern United States.

In 1903, in what is known as the "Bassett Affair," popular professor John Spencer Bassett inserted a sentence praising the life of Booker T. Washington and ranking him second in comparison to Robert E. Lee of Southerners born in a hundred years. Local Democratic party leaders demanded that Bassett be fired. When Bassett offered his resignation, the Board of Trustees voted 18-7 to not accept the resignation. President Theodore Roosevelt commended Trinity and Bassett's courageous stand for academic freedom while speaking in Durham the next year. [3]

In 1922 Chronicle editors began to use "Blue Devils" as a nickname for the athletic teams. "Les Diables Bleus" was the name of a well-known regiment of French alpine troops widely known for their exploits in World War I. The name was initially unpopular, but eventually caught on as no opposition rose. [4]

The birth of Duke University

James Buchanan Duke

On December 11, 1924, James B. Duke established The Duke Endowment, a $40 million (about $430 million in 2005 dollars) trust fund, the annual income of which was to be distributed in the Carolinas among hospitals, orphanages, the Methodist Church, three colleges, and a university built around Trinity College. President William Preston Few insisted that the university be named Duke University, and James B. Duke agreed on the condition that it be a memorial to his father and family.

The university grew up quickly. The School of Religion and Graduate School opened in 1926, the Medical School and hospital in 1930, the School of Nursing in 1931, and the School of Forestry in 1938. The Law School, founded in 1904, was reorganized in 1930, and engineering, which had been taught since 1903, became a separate school in 1939. In 1930, the original Durham site became a separate Woman's College which was merged back into Trinity as the liberal arts college for both men and women in 1972. In 1938, Duke University became the thirty-fourth member of the Association of American Universities. The Fuqua School of Business was founded in 1969.


Academics

The university has two schools for undergraduates: Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and the Pratt School of Engineering.

Duke University also has several graduate and professional schools: the Pratt School of Engineering, the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the Fuqua School of Business, the School of Law, the Divinity School, and the Graduate School.

The highest merit award that the university offers to exceptionally talented students is the Angier B. Duke Scholarship, which is given in honor of James B. Duke's son Angier, who was killed in a boating accident, and also includes free tuition and a summer session at Oxford in England. The B. N. Duke Scholars program is a scholarship program geared towards top high school students in North and South Carolina. The University Scholars program, endowed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, provides full scholarships to "exceptionally talented" undergraduates, graduate, and professional students. The program is characterized by its interdisplinary nature. Some applicants to Duke are selected for the Robertson Scholarship program, which offers a tuition-free education at Duke as well as one semester at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A new program, Baldwin Scholars, aims to promote the development of female leaders.

In regard to admissions, Duke's middle 50% for accepted students stands at 690-770 on the verbal section of the SAT, 690-780 (Trinity) or 740-800 (Pratt) on the math section, 680-780 (Trinity) or 680-770 (Pratt) on the writing section, and 29-34 (Trinity) or 31-34 (Pratt) on the ACT. [5]

Duke University's Talent Identification Program, or TIP, is a program that identifies gifted children based on standarized test scores. Children are identified in 4th/5th grade and/or in 7th grade. In the 7th grade search, students take the SAT or ACT. TIP operates in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

Duke's special academic facilities include: an art museum, several language labs, the Duke Forest, a primate center, a phytotron, a free electron laser, a nuclear magnetic resonance machine, a nuclear lab, a marine lab, and a center for engineering, medicine, and applied sciences. Duke is also a leading participant in the National Lambda Rail Network.

Undergraduate

Duke offers 36 arts and sciences majors in addition to 5 engineering majors, and 46 additional majors have been approved under Program II. Program II allows students to design their own interdisciplinary major. Sixteen certificate programs are also available. Students may pursue a combination of a total of three majors/minors/certificates, with at least one but not more than two majors (e.g. one major, two certificates; two majors, one minor; just a major; one major, one minor, and one certificate).

The following is a list of majors:

The following is a list of minors. The sponsoring department is listed in parentheses where necessary for the sake of clarity:

The following is a list of certificates. By completing a certificate program, students are able to supplement their undergraduate education with a course of study that affords a distinctive, usually interdisciplinary, approach to a subject not available in any single academic unit:

Trinity College of Arts and Sciences operates under the recently revised Curriculum 2000. It ensures that students are exposed to a variety of "areas of knowledge" and "modes of inquiry." The curriculum aims to have students develop critical faculties and judgment; learn how to access, synthesize, and communicate knowledge effectively; acquire perspective on current and historical events; conduct research and solve problems; and develop tenacity and capacity for hard and sustained work.

Freshmen can elect to participate in the FOCUS Program, which involves the interdisciplinary exploration of a specific topic, such as Arts in Contemporary Society, Athens in the Golden Age, and Changing Faces of Russia: Redefining Boundaries.


Admissions

19,358 students applied to become part of the incoming undergraduate class of 2010. Of these students, 3778 were admitted, with 470 of them being accepted under the early decision process. This is an approximately 19% acceptance rate. The University hopes to enroll approximately 1,665 students.

Rankings

In the 2006 US News and World Report ranking of American research universities, Duke tied with Stanford for 5th. Duke was ranked joint 11th-best university (with the London School of Economics) in the world by the 2005 Times Higher Education Supplement. A survey by the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education recently ranked Duke as the best university in the country in regards to the integration of African American students and faculty. [6]

In US News and World Reports's 2007 Best Graduate Schools, Duke's medical school ranked 6th for research and tied for 6th in primary care. The law school ranked 11th, the business school tied for 11th, and the engineering school ranked 30th. In the rankings of doctoral programs, Duke tied for 12th for doctoral programs in the sciences, ranked 5th in ecology and evolutionary biology, ranked 5th in biomedical engineering, tied for 21st in mathematics, tied for 25th in computer science, tied for 29th in physics and ranked 38th for chemistry.

Social life

Duke's independent undergraduate daily newspaper, "The Chronicle"

The nearby bars on Durham's Ninth Street are a popular outlet for students. However, the primary social scene at Duke occurs within the "Duke Bubble" in the form of Fraternities and Sororities. About 1 in 3 males, and 1 out of 2 females, are members of a Greek organization. Although the on-campus "keg parties" have been ended by the administration, Greeks have found other, usually off-campus alternatives to provide students their necessary dose of "partying".

Duke's undergraduate student government, The Duke Student Government

There are 400 student clubs and organizations. These include numerous student government, special interest, and service organizations. The Chronicle is Duke's independent undergraduate daily newspaper. It has been continuously published since 1905 and its editors are responsible for coining the term "Blue Devil" as the school's mascot. Duke Diya is the South Asian student association. It is known for enacting the school's largest annual student-run production, the cultural show entitled Awaaz, and also runs a variety of community service, cultural, political, and social events throughout the school year.

Athletics, particularly men's basketball, is a significant component of Duke's social life. Duke's students have been recognized as some of the most creative, original, and abrasive fans in all of collegiate athletics. Students show their support of the men's basketball team by "tenting" for home games against key ACC rivals, especially UNC. Because tickets to all varsity sports are free to students, setting up a line of tents weeks in advance of big games has evolved as the only sure way of being admitted. The total number of participating tents is often capped at 100, though interest is such that it could exceed that number if space permitted. Tenting involves setting up and inhabiting a tent in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium with several other people just before the beginning of the spring term. There are different categories of tenting based on the length of time and number of people that must be in the tent at any one time. At night, Krzyzewskiville, or K-Ville for short, which is the grass by Cameron that serves as the tenting area, often turns into the scene of a party or occasional concert. The men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, known as Coach K to avoid mispronunciation, has also been known to occasionally buy pizza for the inhabitants of K-Ville.

The campus

Duke owns 212 buildings on 9,432 acres (38 km²) of land. That includes the Duke Forest and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

Main campuses

West Campus

The Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy.

West campus is the heart of Duke University. All of the sophomores, along with some number of juniors and seniors, live on West, and most of the academic and administrational centers also reside there. West campus includes Science Drive, which is composed of the science and engineering labs and classrooms. Most of the campus eateries are on West, as are the major sports facilities.

Main West campus has Duke Chapel at its center. To the left are the main residential quads, while the main academic quad, main library, and medical center are to the right. West campus residential life operates under the "quad model".

East Campus

Baldwin Auditorium on East Campus

East Campus functions as the freshman campus since all the freshmen - and only freshmen (excepting upperclassmen serving as Resident Assistants) - are housed on East in order to build class unity and promote a substance free environment. The campus is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) away from West Campus, with a bus system linking the two. Several academic departments are housed on East Campus, including the Art History, History and Women's Studies departments. The Mary Duke Biddle Music Building can also be found on East.

East Campus is a fully self-sufficient campus, with the freshman dining hall, a library, auditorium, theater, gym, tennis courts, and academic buildings. It is also only a 5 minute walk from downtown Durham.

East Campus used to serve as the Women's College at Duke, but in 1972, the Woman's College merged with the all men's Trinity College, then on West Campus, to form the undergraduate Trinity College of Arts and Sciences which still exists today.

Central Campus

Central campus houses juniors and seniors as well as some professional students. Central campus residences are apartment style. Central campus also houses the Nasher Museum of Art and some other departments, such as the Residence Life and Housing Services.

Central campus is now undergoing a massive restructuring that will begin with the replacement of the outdated apartments. A key goal of the Central renovations is to reintegrate the area with the rest of the Duke campus, as it is now connected to the other campuses by a circuitous, inefficient bus route.

Key places

Duke Forest Established in 1931, today Duke Forest conisists of 7,600 acres (31 km²) in six divisions. The forest is used extensively for research and includes the Aquatic Research Facility, Forest Carbon Transfer and Storage (FACTS-I) research facility, two permanent towers suitable for micrometerological studies, and other areas designated for animal behavior and ecosystem study, including the Duke University Primate Center.

Primate Center The Duke University Primate Center was founded in 1966 and is the world's largest sanctuary for rare and endangered prosimian primates. The 85 acres (344,000 m²) of Duke Forest that the Primate Center inhabits contain about 250 animals of 15 different species of lemurs and some lorises as well.

Sarah P.Duke gardens

Sarah P. Duke Gardens The Sarah P. Duke Gardens lie between West Campus and the apartments of Central Campus and were established in the early 1930s. The Gardens occupy 55 acres (223,000 m²) and consists of four major parts: the original Terraces and their immediate surroundings, the H.L. Blomquist Garden of Native Plants (a representation of the flora of the southeastern United States), and the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum (devoted to plants of eastern Asia). There are five miles (8 km) of allées, walks, and pathways throughout the Doris Duke Center and surrounding gardens.

Marine Lab The Duke University Marine Lab is on Pivers Island within the Outer Banks of North Carolina, only 150 yards across the channel from the town of Beaufort, NC. Duke's interest in the area began in the early 1930s and the first buildings were erected in 1938. The resident faculty represent the disciplines of oceanography, marine biology, marine biomedicine, marine biotechnology, and coastal marine policy and management. The Marine Laboratory is a member of the National Association of Marine Laboratories (NAML).

Medical Center The Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) combines one of the top-rated hospitals and one of the top-ranked medical schools in the United States. Founded in 1930, the Medical Center now occupies 7.5 million square feet (700,000 m²) in 90 buildings on 210 acres (850,000 m²).

A plan for West Campus. The eventual plan was slightly smaller in size.

Duke is sometimes called "the Gothic Wonderland," a nickname referring to the Gothic revival architecture of its main campus (West Campus). Much of the campus was designed by Julian Abele, one of the first African-American architects. The residential quadrangles are of an early and somewhat unadorned design, while the buildings in the academic quadrangles show influences of the more elaborate late French and Italian styles. Its freshman campus (East Campus) is composed of buildings in the Georgian architecture style.

The stone used for the West Campus has seven primary colors and seventeen different shades of color. One construction official wrote the architect that the stone has "an older, more attractive antique effect" and a "warmer and softer coloring than the Princeton stone" and that it was especially good since it could be "laid to give a shadowline underneath the pointing which added tremendously to an artistic look." [7] James B. Duke initially suggested the use of stone from a quarry in Princeton, New Jesey but later amended the plans to use stone from a local quarry to save on costs.

The Duke Chapel stands at the heart of West Campus, and is at the center of religion at Duke. Constructed in 1930 through 1935, the Chapel seats about 1,600 people. The tower is an imposing structure, and with its 210-foot (64 m) height, is one of the tallest buildings in Durham County, North Carolina.

Recent and upcoming construction projects

As of November 1, 2005, Duke has spent approximately $835 million dollars on 34 major construction projects initiated since February 2001. At that time, Duke initiated a five year strategic plan, "Building on Excellence". The overall cost of all planned construction projects is approximately $375 million.

Libraries and museums

File:Perkins library duke.jpg
Old Perkins Library

With over 5 million volumes, the Duke University Library System is one of the ten largest private university library systems in the United States. It contains 17.7 million manuscripts, 1.2 million public documents, and tens of thousands of films and videos. Besides the main William R. Perkins Library, the university also contains the separately administered Business (Ford), Divinity, Law, and Medicine Libraries.

William R. Perkins Library Perkins Library is Duke's main library. It has seven branches on campus. They are: Biological & Environmental Science Library, Chemistry Library, Lilly Library (which houses materials on Fine Arts, Philosophy, Film & Video, and Performing Arts), Music Library, Pearse Memorial Library (which is located at the Duke University Marine Lab and contains related materials), and Vesic Library (which contains materials related to Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics). The University Archives and Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections are also considered part of the Perkins Library system. An additional library, The Bostock Library, was recently opened in the fall of 2005 next to Perkins. The first floor of the main Perkins library is currently undergoing renovations and is slated to open in the summer of 2006. The rest of Perkins building will undergo renovations following the opening of the Perkins first floor.

Nasher Museum of Art The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University opened in the fall of 2005, replacing the undersized Duke University Museum of Art (DUMA). The museum, designed by Rafael Viñoly, houses the university's art collections as well as some classrooms and an auditorium.

Athletics

Cameron Indoor Stadium
Wallace Wade Stadium, home to Duke football and site of the 1942 Rose Bowl.

The school's 26 varsity sports teams are called the Blue Devils. They compete in the NCAA's Division I-A Atlantic Coast Conference. Duke's major historic rival has been the Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. See Duke-UNC rivalry. The rivalry has led people to use their respective school colors to diferentiate the different shadings of blue in daily occurrences, with people calling the lighter powder blue as "Carolina blue" and the darker blue as "Duke blue."

Duke men's basketball is one of the best-known teams in college sports, and its rivalry with North Carolina is similarly praised [11]. One of the winningest programs in all of college basketball, the team's success has been outstanding over the past 25 years under coach Mike Krzyzewski (often simply called 'Coach K'). Their successes include becoming the only team to win three national championships since the NCAA Tournament field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985; making the Final Four ten times in the last 20 years as well as five in a row from 1988 to 1992; winning the ACC Tournament 16 times (the most in ACC history) and five years in a row from 1999 to 2003; having seven players named Naismith College Player of the Year in the last 20 years; twenty 20-win seasons in the past 22 years; and No. 1 rankings in 13 of the past 20 seasons. Their most recent ACC tournament victory was over Boston College in 2006, giving them one more ACC tournament title than the University of North Carolina. They have made nine straight Sweet 16 appearances, although they have not advanced past this round in 4 of the last 5 years and were eliminated by the LSU Tigers in the 2006 tournament. Coach Kryzyzewski also has been selected to coach the U.S. Olympic Basketball team.

Former Duke stars such as Grant Hill, Danny Ferry, Christian Laettner, Elton Brand, Shane Battier, Carlos Boozer, Chris Duhon, Mike Dunleavy and Jason Williams have gone on to play in the NBA. Many of Coach K's assistants, such as Mike Brey, Tommy Amaker, Quin Snyder, and Jeff Capel, have become head basketball coaches at major universities.

While men's basketball is the most famous, women's golf has won as many national championships (three) and has been a dominant team in recent years. The men's soccer was the first team to win an NCAA title, in 1986. Teams that have been ranked in the top ten nationally in the 2000's include men's and women's basketball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's lacrosse, women's field hockey and men's and women's golf. Eight of these teams were ranked either first or second in the country during 2004-5. These successes led Duke to being the fifth-highest ranked university in the 2005 NACDA Director's Cup, an overall measure of athletic success[12]. Less successful is the men's football team, which has been one of the least successful football programs in Division I-A over the past twenty years, and was unable to beat any other ACC team in 2005. However, Duke is consistently ranked at or near the top of the list of Division 1-A schools which graduate nearly all of their football players. Duke has topped the list 12 years, earning it the most Academic Achievement Awards of any university. Notre Dame has been honored six times, while Boston College and Northwestern have won the award four times each.[13]. Overall, 90% of Duke's varsity athletes graduate, the highest percentage of any Division IA school. In addition, Duke's Fuqua School of Business hosts an annual world cup of rugby for some 25-30 of the top athletic business schools from America and around the world.

Controversies at Duke University

Lacrosse team scandal (2006)

In 2006, Duke University was embroiled in controversy following accusations of a racially motivated rape by some of the players of the Duke lacrosse team. An African-American exotic dancer alleged in April that after being hired as a stripper she was beaten, strangled, and sexually assaulted by three white players in a bathroom while approximately 40 others were present in the house and racial slurs were made. Two sealed indictments have been issued[14], and this incident resulted in Duke's nationally ranked lacrosse team being suspended for the rest of the season. The event drew national attention and highlighted class and racial tensions in the local community. The investigation is still ongoing.
