Interesting Information About Duke University?

Duke University was founded in 1838 by the Methodists and the Quakers. Although it still has close ties with the Methodist Church, Duke University is independent and non-sectarian. Its original name, while it was still in Trinity, was Brown’s Schoolhouse. In 1892 it moved to Durham, North Carolina where it received an endowment from industrialist James B. Duke, who established The Duke Endowment. The school thereby changed its name to honor Washington Duke, the father of James.

Its campus covers 8,600 acres with three adjacent campuses in Durham and a marine lab located in Beaufort. Most of its buildings were designed in Gothic and Georgian architectural styles.

The university owns 220 buildings, most of which were designed by famous African-American architect Julian Abele, including the impressive 64-meter high Gothic-styled Duke Chapel located on the highest part of the university campus. The East Campus on the other hand, which is largely freshmen-populated, has Georgian-styled buildings.

Duke University has an academic staff of 3,262, an administrative staff of 8,280 and 35,510 campus employees. For Fall 2013 it had 6,495 undergraduates and 8,105 postgraduates.
