Foreword
IN view of her ever-broadening scope of influ-
ence and the brilliant prosjiects ahead of oin-
Alma Mater, we have taken PROCURESS
as the general theme for this volume and at-
tempted to portray the future welfare of North
Carolina and Duke University in particular, as
linked up closely with the development of the
hydro-electric industry by the creative mind, wise
investments, and philanthrojiic spirit of our gen-
erous benefactor.
It has been our further purpose to record on
the pages of history in a manner worthy of our
Alma Mater, her progress during the year 1925-
26; to crystallize the pleasures of college life, and
to keep alive the precious memories and inti-
niate friendships of our college days.
"Tlic old order clianijelli,

Duke University
FROM INSIGNIFICANCE TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE
IJraiitley Yoi-k School
(183S-1S40)
In 1838 there was implanted in the Pied-
mont section of North Carolina the K<^rm of
an educational movement that was destined
to become a giant in the eilucational realm
of the South, and to make for itself a name
that has now become familiar to people in
all parts of the I'nited States. In that year
there was established in the northwestern
portion of Randolph Count\' a small local
school with Brantley York as principal. A
small and insignificant be;;innin^, but it was
the small acorn from \vhich a mighty oak of
learning was to flourish later.
Union Institute
(18+0-1851)
A short time afterwards, in the year 1840,
a group of Methodists and Quakers, seeing
that the work of Brantley York was good,
and realizing that a movement of this kind
shouUl prosper, joined together in that age
of denominational strife in a singular instance
of denominational co-operation to establish an
academy, which they very appropriately
named Union Institute. In 18+2, Braxton
Craven was chosen principal of this co-opera-
tive school, and under his leadership and
guidance the project grew and expantled with
such vigor that the trustees began to insti-
gate plans which would put it in direct rela-
tion to the educational needs of the public
schools of the state. .Application was imme-
diately made to the legislature of North Caro-
lina for a new charter.
.N'oi'Mial ("ollene
(.851-1859)
In 185T tnion Institute becaine Normal
College, affiliated with the state and the first
institution for the training of teachers in the
South. But this experiment met with very
little success, and there arose among the trus-
tees and palr(tns of the college a ilesire to con-
vert its educational facilities into other fields.
Tiinitj College (Old Tiiiiily)
(1859-1892)
President Braxton Craven, a man of un-
conquerable spirit and remarkable foresight,
seeing bigger things in the future for his
beloved institution, secured in 1856 the author-
ization of the trustees of .Normal College to
turn the college over to the North Carolina
Conference of the Methodist Kpiscopal
Church, South; and the institution was char-
tered as Trinity College by the legislature of
North Caroli[ia on Kebruary 16, 1859. Sur-
viving the ravages of the Civil War and the
depressing days of reconstruction. Trinity
College was among the first to herald the

FROM INSIGNIFICANCE TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE
(Coiuimjed frniii Pat;e ii.)
new i-ra of liberalism in tcachinj; ami leainiiif;
In electing John Franklin rrn\vell, a Nortli-
erii man atul a j;railnate of Vale, as its presi-
dent in 1887. The new president worked
many changes. He revised the curricidnni,
hrinijiht professional teachers to the facnlly
rather than men of the Bi-llrs I.iilris type;
but most important of all he decided that the
institution must be moved from the country
to the city — a decision that was contrary t 1
the estab'ished tradition that the cities were
unsafe for the morals of youth.
Ho\ve\'er, the enerp;etic president soon
brouijht the trustees to think as he did, and
bids were requested from any city that de-
fired the institution to be located in th.ir
midst. The offer of Raleigh, consisting of
twelve acres of land and subscriptit)ns
amounting to $20,500, was accepted; but soon
that decision was reconsidered in the light of
the personal influence of General Julian S.
Carr, along with his generous offer to give
Blackwell Park as a building site, and an of-
fer by Mr. Washington Duke of a monetary
gift of $85,000 should the college be located
in Durham, North Carolina. Thereupon Ral-
eigh waived her rights, and after buildings
were erected. Trinity was brought to Durham
in 1892.
Trinit.v College (New 'riinity)
(1892-1925)
Situated in the heart of North Caro'ina's
industrialism, the new college has been com-
pelled to keep step with the modern spirit of
progress. I'nder the adniiriistratittn of Presi-
dent Kilgo, who succeeded Dr. C'rowell in
1894, the institution was integrated in its new
environment. .'\dditional benefactions by
Washington Duke and his sons made it the
largest endowed college in the South .Atlantic
States. With the guidance of Dr. William
P. Few, President since 1910, its program of
^vork became so varied and its patronage so
large, that a new organization and new work-
ing capital became essential. These \vere
made possible by Mr. James Buchanan Duke
late in 1924. on conditirin that the corporate
name of the institution be changed to Duke
t'niversity — a condition that was accepted by
the Trinity trustees on December 29, 1924, the
legal change of the name being effected the
next dav.
Duke liiiver.sit.v
(1924—)
Mr. Duke, realizing that education, win 11
conducted on sane and practical lines, a^ op-
posetl to
is, next to religion, the greatest civilizing in-
fluence, selected the growing educational in-
stitution at Durham as the principal means by
which he was to atlnnnister to the social wel-
fare and betterment of his native people in the
two Carolinas. In his great philanthropic
tiream he saw Duke rni\'ersity as a \'eritable
hotbed of learning, which was to administer
educational services to thousands and thiu-
sands of growing youths the country over.
By the original indenture, by subscipient gifts,
and by the provisions of his last will, Mr.
I^uke made Duke l^niversit\' the chief recip-
ient of the eighty million dollar Duke En-
dowment Fund, benefactions that have placed
Duke I'tdversity fourth in rank with the
richest endo\ved institutions of the t'nitcd
States.
Mr. Duke commended to the trustees of the
Duke Endowment Euiul the securities of the
Southern Power system of water power de-
velopments as the prime investment for the
fund, stating that "my ambition is that the
revenues of such developments shall admin-
ister to the social welfare, as the operation
of such developments is now administering to
the economic welfare of the communities
which they serve."
At present, eleven new buildings are being
erected on the site of the present campus, six
of which will be ready for occupancy by the
opening of school in September, 1926. .*\t the
same time much work is lacing done towards
the erection of the new unit on the four-thoii-
sand-acre tract, recently accpiired by the au-
thorities for the campus and bui'dings of the
new University. As soon as this vast pro-
gram of development is completed, the present
campus and buildings will be turned over as a
co-ordinate school for women, which will be
an integral part of the University.
It seems an infinite pity that Mr. Duke
could not have lived to see the consummation
of his great dream of service. We greatly
miss him, his guiding hand, his masterly mind,
and his inspiring personal leader'-hip; yet,
his character and soul will live on through the
ages in the work and service of Duke Uni-
versity, the fullness and richness of whose
works he alone has made possible.

Tne Story of the Duke Foundation
By Forrest J. Prettyman
Pastor, Main Street Methodist Church, Gastoiiia, N. C.
Sons of Duke, come stand with me.
On Mountain top — 'tis duty's call —
Not here to live, but feel and see
A plan of life that doth enthrall.
To Mitchell I would take you first.
That nothing — North or South or West
May satisfy your burning thirst
Of seeing, e're you start your quest.
See all the towering hills around.
Deep bedded in a fiery strand;
Here first from chaos solid ground
Arose — the sky-birth of our land.
Stand here at dawn of our great day.
See o'er the plains the rising sun.
Here are earth's forces all at play,
But there is work that must be done.
Now look again beneath your feet,
Where latent forces, discontent.
Awake with mystic life to meet
The call of earth and firmament.
From hidden source a tiny stream
Begins its pathway toward the sea,
Its gentle murmur wakes a dream
Of what its mission is to be.
Before it pays its native dower —
To water and enrich the plain —
I seek a simple loan of power
To forge a mystic living chain.
I would not seek to lead it far
From beds of moss and dancing rill ;
I only seek its path to bar
That it may larger service fill.
I stay its journey to the glade
A moment longer in the lake,
Till other streamlets lend their aid
Before their sea\vard wa\" the\' take.
28
And when they leap from barrier high.
Joyous to be free again,
I hold the power, and let it fly
To waiting mills along the plain.
Thus subtly gathered from the streams.
This force I send to waiting mill.
And spindles waking from their dreams
Are glad their purpose to fulfill.
But not for selfish end or gold.
Or pride or fame — a transient thing —
Do I this mystic tale unfold;
But for a higher end I sing.
For see, transmuted into power
The lambent streams of noble hills;
But look again to richer dower,
A generous benefactor wills.
Again a transmutation grand.
And power is changed to living mind.
That nobler manhood, richer land,
A higher destiny may find.
From mountain stream by raindrops fed,
To busy mills with winged feet,
To minds in holy union wed —
And thus the circuit is complete.
Sons of Duke — awake — aware!
Set to the task, his dream fulfill.
Who mastered force of earth and air.
And made them subject to his will.
Our mountain plains and streams and air,
By working in harmonious plan.
Now sing to us of woman fair,
And forge a higher, nobler man.
We praise our benefactor's name.
And sound it over land and sea:
And leave at last his growing fame
To generations yet to be.

The fact that this man doesn't say much is not to
hide some weakness; and because of this fact, we
know that when he does sjieak. he will say sojiiethinK
worthwhile. \\'e will venture also that if the thin^
whereof he speaks concerns the law. that his state-
nient will be Jtacked by sound legal reasoning.

If thci'e is siii'h a thing as perfecting a conibinatinn
of courting and legal endeavor, it seems that this

from him at the Bar in the future.

I'^ioni the start "Preacher" has indicated that in the
