Brinstinsi You tJ|p To IBate T X HE rise of Duke University from the obscurity of its humble beginnings is a re- markable story, brought about by the untiring efforts of farsightcd, conscientious individuals. It is difficult to conceive that our university of today resembles those first few wooden build- ings of 183S in Randolph County, North Carolina. For it was there that Duke Uni- versity had its origin, and it was there over a hundred years ago that the standard of the highest educational development pos- sible was .set for our school. hen the people of Randolph Coun- ty realized their need for an edu- cational institution, they founded the school which ,was later supported by a group of (Quakers and Methodists and named Union In- stitute Academy. The Academy, under the leadership of its principal, Braxton Craven, a great master- builder, was converted into a successful men ' s school which in 1856 became Trinity College when the North Carolina Methodist (Con- ference acquired ownership of the institution. The college continued to serve the region suc- cessfully until 1892, when it was transferred from Randolph ( )unt ' to Durham. Washing- ton Duke, tobacco millionaire, made the trans- fer possible by providing money for the erec- tion of new buildings. In 1896, the Duke family formed a one- hundred thousand dollar endowment fund w irh the stipulation that women be admitted to the school. James B. Duke, in his indenture, pro- vided funds for the construction of Duke Uni- versity in 1924, and it was named in honor of Washington Duke. Soon plans were tir;iwn up for a new campus, consisting of eleven new buildings plus a chapel and a hospital. The men moved in 19.H, and the old campus was then changed to a woman ' s college. Since 193 3, the school, its instructors, and the students themselves have made such out- standing progress and contributions in all fields that it seems worthwhile to mention some of them here. Mrs. Helen Bevingron has written a book, and articles for the New York Times; Dr. Blackburn, Rhodes Scholar, is President of the ( )llege English Association; and Dr. N. I. White, whose recent death shocked the college community, was one of the world ' s foremost authorities on the prose and poetry of the Romantic Move- ment, and before his death, he was engaged in research for a book on Wil- liam Godwin, Eng- lish philosopher and poet. In other fields University professors have made valuable con- tributions m the line of research ' ;5fT;tf,fr ' mfr;t!

Dr. Rankin is the founder and head of the Mathematics Teachers ' Institute. The new million dollar Engineering Build- ing and Physics Building both demonstrate the forward advance in the field of science our school has made. The erection of the Engi- neering Building, the capacity of which is double that of the old buildings, marks the latest step in the rapid evolution of the Engineering Dejiartmcnt at Duke. ' ith its completion, the (College of Engineering has easil - become com- parable with the best in the country. Ehe Physics Building near the Engineering Building will be completed this summer in time to open for classes in the fall. This build- ing, being erected at a cost of nearly a nulhon dollars, excluding all new e(|uipnient, will pro- vide more rooms and better taeilifies for re- search rhan the old one. 1 he two libraries at Duke possess from nine- hundiLti thousand to one million volumes, and
