History
Beginnings
Duke started as Brown's Schoolhouse, a private subscription school founded in 1838 in Randolph County in the present-day town of Trinity. Randolph County is a County located in the US state of North Carolina. Trinity is a city in Randolph County, North Carolina, United States. [14] The school was organized by the Union Institute Society, a group of Methodists and Quakers, and in 1841 North Carolina issued a charter for Union Institute Academy. Methodism is a movement within Protestant Christianity represented by a number of denominations and organizations The academy was renamed Normal College in 1851 and then Trinity College in 1859 because of support from the Methodist Church. [14] In 1892, Trinity moved to Durham, largely due to generosity from Washington Duke and Julian S. Carr, powerful and respected Methodists who had grown wealthy through the tobacco industry. Washington Duke ( December 18, 1820 &ndash May 8, 1905) was an American Tobacco industrialist and Philanthropist Julian Shakespeare Carr (1845-1924 was a North Carolina industrialist and philanthropist [7] Washington Duke gave what was then known as Trinity College a $100,000 endowment in 1896, with the stipulation that the college "open its doors to women, placing them on an equal footing with men. "[15]
In 1924, Washington Duke's son, James B. Duke, established The Duke Endowment with a $40 million ($434 million in 2005 dollars) trust fund.

William Preston Few, the president of Trinity College, insisted that the university be named Duke University, and James B. William Preston Few (1867&mdash1940 was the first president of Duke University and the fifth president of its predecessor Trinity College Duke agreed that it would be a memorial to his father. [7] Money from the endowment allowed the University to grow quickly. Duke's original campus (East Campus) was rebuilt from 1925 to 1927 with Georgian-style buildings. By 1930, the majority of the Gothic style buildings on the campus one mile (1. 6 km) west were completed, and construction on West Campus culminated with the completion of Duke Chapel in 1935. [7]

West, East, and Central Campuses
West Campus, the heart of Duke University, houses all the sophomores, along with some juniors and seniors. [98] In addition, most of the academic and administrative centers reside there. "Main" West Campus, with Duke Chapel at its center, contains the majority of residential quads to the south, while the main academic quad, library, and Medical Center are to the north. Duke University Chapel, located at the heart of the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, is an ecumenical Christian The Duke University Health System, combines the Duke University School of Medicine, the Duke University School of Nursing, the Duke Clinic and the member hospitals The campus, spanning 720 acres (2. 9 km²), includes Science Drive, which consists of science and engineering buildings.

Cameron Indoor Stadium is a Basketball Arena located on the West Campus of Duke University in Durham North Carolina. [3][99]
 The main West Campus is dominated by Gothic architecture. Shown here are typical residence halls. |
East Campus, the original location of Duke University,[100] functions as a freshman campus as well as the home of several academic departments. Since the 1995-96 academic year, all freshmen—and only freshmen except for upperclassmen serving as Resident Assistants—have lived on East Campus, to build class unity. The campus encompasses 97 acres and is 1. 5 miles (2. 4 km) away from West Campus. [3] The Art History, History, Literature, Music, Philosophy, and Women's Studies Departments are housed on East.

Separated from downtown by a short walk, the area was the site of the Women's College from 1930 to 1972. [100]
 East Campus, home to all Duke freshmen, features Georgian architecture. Baldwin Auditorium can be seen on the right side. |
Central Campus, consisting of 122 acres (0. 49 km²) between East and West campuses, houses around 850 juniors and seniors and 200 professional students in apartments. The term profession is applied to those persons who have specialized and technical skill or knowledge which they apply for a fee to certain tasks that ordinary and unqualified people cannot [101] It is home to the Nasher Museum of Art, the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, the Duke Police Department, the Duke Office of Disability Management, a Ronald McDonald House, and administrative departments such as Duke Residence Life and Housing Services.

At present, there is a 20- to 50-year plan to restructure Central Campus. The idea is to develop an "academic village" as a key center for the Duke community. The first phase, costing $240 million, involves replacing the outdated apartments. Other additions in the first phase include dining, academic, recreational, and service facilities. A key goal of the Central renovations is to reintegrate the area with the rest of the Duke campus, as it is connected to the other campuses by a circuitous, inefficient bus route. [102]
Key places
Established in 1931, the Duke Forest today consists of 7,200 acres (29 km²) in six divisions just west of Duke University's West Campus.

The most famous Duke football season came in 1938,[139] when Wallace Wade coached the "Iron Dukes" that shut out all regular season opponents; only three teams in history can claim such a feat. College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies William Wallace Wade ( June 15, 1892 &ndash October 7, 1986) was an American College football coach.

However, the program has been one of the least successful in Division I-A over the past ten years. Division I (or D-I) is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the United States Duke has not had a winning season since 1994, and has only three such seasons in the past 20 years. [143] In the 2006 campaign, the Blue Devils failed to win any games. The recent struggles have led the program to have an overall record of 433-402-31 despite its early successes. [143]
The graduation rate of Duke's football players is consistently among the highest among Division I-A schools. Duke's high graduation rates have earned it more American Football Coaches Association's Academic Achievement Awards than any other institution. The American Football Coaches Association is an association of football coaches on all levels and is responsible for the Coaches Poll that determines the national champion each [144]
Student life
Residential life
Duke requires its students to live on campus for the first three years of undergraduate life, except for a small percentage of second semester juniors who are exempted by a lottery system. In some Educational systems undergraduate education is Post-secondary education up to the level of a Bachelor's degree. A lottery is a form of Gambling which involves the drawing of lots for a prize This requirement is justified by the administration as an effort to help students connect more closely with one another and sustain a sense of belonging within the Duke community. [98][145] Thus, 85% of undergraduates live on campus. [146] All freshmen are housed in one of 14 dormitories on East Campus. Dormitory typically refers in the United States to residence halls which are sleeping quarters or entire buildings primarily providing sleeping and residential quarters for These buildings range in occupancy size from 50 (Epworth—the oldest dorm, built in 1892 as "the Inn") to 190 residents (Gilbert-Addoms). [147][148] Most of these are in the Georgian style typical of the East Campus architecture, although a few newer ones differ in style. Georgian architecture is the name given in most English -speaking countries to the set of Architectural styles current between 1720 and 1840 Two learning communities, the Performing Arts Community and East Campus Wellness, incorporate the residential component of East Campus with students of similar academic and social interests. [149]
Sophomores are required to reside on West Campus, again to build class unity. Juniors and seniors can elect to live on West Campus, space permitting. West Campus contains six quadrangles—the four along "Main" West were built in 1930, while two newer ones have since been added. West Campus is home to four learning communities including West Campus Wellness and the Leadership and Civic Engagement communities. Civic engagement has been defined as "Individual and Collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern These groups are allocated "sections" of the quadrangles, thereby living close to one another, but still within the context of a larger community. Also, 25 "selective living groups" are housed within sections on West, including 15 fraternities. Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal [150] Nine of the ten non-fraternity selective living groups are coeducational. Central Campus provides housing for approximately 1,050 students (of which about 850 are undergraduate juniors or seniors) in 45 apartment buildings. [151] The majority of seniors, however, choose to live off campus. Students living on campus are represented by the elected officials of Campus Council whose mission is to enhance campus life by implementing policies, provide quality programming, and ensure a safe, educational, and enjoyable experience for residents. [152]
Greek and social life
Fraternities and sororities enjoy a presence as 29% of men and 42% of women pledge a Greek group. Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal [146] While 15 of the 16 Interfraternity Council (IFC) recognized fraternity chapters live in sections within West Campus quads, the ten Panhellenic Association Sorority Chapters have no such living arrangement. Members History Early histories of women's fraternities contain accounts of "rushing and pledging agreements" or "compacts" among fraternities [150] Seven National Pan-Hellenic Council (historically African American) fraternities and sororities hold chapters at Duke. History The National Pan-Hellenic Council was established in an age when Racial segregation and disenfranchisement plagued African Americans, the rise of each African Americans or Black Americans are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa [153] Fraternities not recognized by IFC typically have houses off-campus. [154]
The nearby bars and clubs on Durham's Ninth Street and the surrounding areas are a popular outlet for Greek and "independent" students alike. Students sometimes refer to their social life as occurring within the "Duke Bubble"—emphasizing the isolation of the Duke campus from the surrounding community and the relatively low levels of interaction between Durham residents and Duke students. [155] Fraternity chapters frequently host parties in their sections, which typically are more open to non-members than similar functions at other institutions due to the fact that independents live in the same building as the fraternity members. [156]
In the mid-1990s, the administration significantly reduced the number of on-campus kegs by requiring students not only to purchase kegs directly from the university, but also to hire expensive university bartenders. A keg is a cylindrical container usually constructed of aluminum steel or wood According to administrators, the rule change was intended as a way to increase on-campus safety,[157] but many students see the administration's increasingly strict policies as an attempt to undermine social life at Duke. [158] As a result, off-campus parties have become more frequent in the past few years as they are not under the umbrella of Duke's policies. However, these off-campus parties have come under fire as they have escalated in debauchery. In 2005, one of the off-campus fraternities hosted a heavily attended baby oil wrestling party, which garnered national media attention. [159] The widely reported lacrosse scandal broke in 2006. The 2006 Duke University lacrosse case was a Scandal that started in March 2006 when Crystal Gail Mangum an African American Stripper and escort Many of these houses are situated in the midst of family homes, prompting neighbors to complain about excessive noise and other violations. Police have responded by breaking up parties at several houses, handing out citations, and arresting party-goers. [160] The administration, in an attempt to increase the number of on-campus social events, reduced the price of kegs by 59% in August 2006. [161] They also purchased 15 houses that Duke students typically rent off East Campus in March 2006; they plan to sell these homes to single families. [162]
The athletics program, 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. [163] Students, often referred to as Cameron Crazies, show their support of the men's basketball team by "tenting" for home games against key ACC rivals, especially UNC. The Cameron Crazies are the student supporters of Duke University 's basketball teams, named for Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC is a collegiate athletic league in the United States. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ( UNC, North Carolina, or simply Carolina) is a public, Coeducational Research Because tickets to all varsity sports are free to students, they would line up for hours before the game, often spending the night on the sidewalk. The total number of participating tents is capped at 100 (each tent can have up to 12 occupants), though interest is such that it could exceed that number if space permitted. Tenting involves setting up and inhabiting a tent on the grass near Cameron Indoor Stadium, an area known as Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short. Cameron Indoor Stadium is a Basketball Arena located on the West Campus of Duke University in Durham North Carolina. Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short is a phenomenon that occurs before major men's basketball games at Duke University. There are different categories of tenting based on the length of time and number of people who must be in the tent. At night, K-ville often turns into the scene of a party or occasional concert. The men's basketball coach, Mike Krzyzewski, is known to buy pizza on occasion for the inhabitants of the tent village. Michael William Krzyzewski ( Polish: Krzyżewski /kʂɨˈʐɛ(fski/ in American English pronounced "Sha- chef -skee" born February [164]

According to The Princeton Review, Duke is one of 81 institutions in the country with outstanding community service programs. The Princeton Review (TPR is an American educational preparation company [168] In February 2007, Duke announced plans for DukeEngage, a $30 million civic engagement program that will allow every undergraduate to partake in an in-depth service opportunity over the course of a summer or semester. [169] The program's scope is "unprecedented in U. S. higher education," allotting about $6,200 to every individual who chooses to participate. [170] Duke's Community Service Center (CSC) oversees 31 student-run service organizations in Durham and the surrounding area.

Camp Kesem is a community of college campuses on which student leaders develop and operate free week-long summer camps for children in families coping with The Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, started by the Office of Community Affairs, attempts to address major concerns of local residents and schools by utilizing university resources. Another community project, "Scholarship with a Civic Mission," is a joint program between the Hart Leadership Program and the Kenan Institute for Ethics. Other programs include: Project CHILD, a tutoring program involving 80 first-year volunteers; Project HOPE, an after-school program for at-risk students in Durham that was awarded a $2. 25 million grant from the Kellogg Foundation in 2002; and Project BUILD, a freshman volunteering group that dedicates 3300 hours of service to a variety of projects such as schools, Habitat for Humanity, food banks, substance rehabilitation centers, and homeless shelters. The WK Kellogg Foundation was founded in June 1930 as the WK Kellogg Child Welfare Foundation by Breakfast Cereal pioneer Will Keith Kellogg [171] Some courses at Duke incorporate service as part of the curriculum to augment material learned in class such as in psychology or education courses (known as service learning classes).
