Constantly striving for excellence, they have seen the transformation of Union Institute, founded in a log cabin at Trinity, North Carolina, to Normal College ; and that, in turn, to Trinity College. They have seen Trinity moved to Durham under great protest from the Trinity townspeople. Through the benevolence of Washington Duke and his sons, James B. and Benjamin N. Duke, they have seen the growth of Trinity Clollcge into Duke University. It is significant that each succeeding administrator of the University, each a leader in the life of the nation, has directed his ability toward the development of an institution of higher learning ; for these men might have had brilliant careers in religious or civil fields. Brantley York, first Principal and teacher in Union Institute ; Braxton Craven, Principal of Union Institute, President of Normal College, President of Trinity College ; Marquis Wood, President of Trinity College, revered missionary to China ; John Franklin Crowell, President of Trinity College ; John Carlisle Kilgo, President of Trinity College, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South ; William Preston Few, President of Trinity College, President of Duke Uni- versity, momentous figure in the founding and expansion of Duke University — all shared in the advancement of an educational institution, each accomplished something that perhaps the others could not have. Collectively, they have built Duke University. To them and to their work . . . .WE »E:iM€A Ti: THIS ItOOK
