m TItlKITY €»LLE«E Trinity College is the undergraduate college of arts and sciences for the men of Duke University. Its interesting history is marked by several very definite phases of devel- opment. The precursor of Trinity, Union Insti- tute, - a s f o u n d e d i n 1838. In 1 85 1 Union became Normal C:onege and finally, in 1859, was named Trinity College. During this period of its metamorphosis, the college was situated |in Ran- dolph County, North Carolina. In 1892 the college was moved to Durham and continued in the location of the Woman ' s College for nearly forty years. With the signing of the indenture of trust by Mr. J. B. Duke, Trinity College became the nucleus about which the University was founded and was established in its present location in i(.y]o upon the completion of the West C ampus. . . . am. ki:r Smith Anderson Wilson THE IVOAIAK ' SS COLLEGE The Woman ' s College is designed as the counterpart of Trinity College and is its coordi- nate. ' The first provisions for women students in I ' rinity C ' ollege were made in i8()t). Since that time there has been rapid growth in co- education at Duke. With the c()ni|)leiion of the West Campus in 1930, the East Campus w-as given over almost entirely to women students. It was in this year that the Woman ' s College became a separate entity in the organization of the University. Miss Alice Mary Baldwin came to Trinity Col- lege in 1924, and with the establishmeiu of the Voman s C ollege of Duke University in 1930, she became its lirst Dean. Mrs. Ruth Black Smith came to Duke in 1927 as instructress in Hducation and became .Assistant Dean of Women in 1930.
