The Chronicle's Visitor's Guide to Duke University

WELCOME TO DUKE UNIVERSITY

On behalf of The Chronicle, we're glad you're here. We hope this guide will help you get acclimated into your new community. Keep up with all Duke University and Durham news at DukeChronicle.com.

Duke's History at a Glance

In 1838, Brown Schoolhouse was opened by Methodists and Quakers. Within fifteen years, it handed out its first bachelor’s degree and rebranded to Normal College. Six years after that it was renamed to Trinity College, beginning to resemble the university we know today.

During the late 1800s, the first women, international student, and Indigenous American student graduated.

In the 1920s, Duke University adopted its current name. James Buchanan Duke renamed the school to honor family members like his late father and tobacco businessman, Washington Duke. The signature moniker Blue Devils was introduced, and the first class of doctors graduated, setting into motion a legacy of world-class academics. Today, our university sustains elements of the past–our school pride associated with the bold blue hue adopted in 1889–but has also changed, throwing critical historical facts into relief. Like many universities, Duke was racially segregated until the 1960s, and only hired its first black faculty member in 1966. The university has also relied on enslaved labor and workers of color to upkeep the famously manicured campus grounds, to inadequate recognition.

Duke academics remain top-notch, and the university maintains its respected name, especially as empowered students and staff move towards more and more inspiring change. We are fortunate to have a history that has not only given us an illustrious reputation, but allows us to create

positive impacts that are real, passionately fueled, and will take that reputation to new and modern heights. Go Duke!

East Campus

All first-year students are required to live in one of 13 residence halls on East Campus, which are distributed across four “neighborhoods.” East Campus was originally the site of Trinity College and the Women’s College from 1930-1972, but it became first-year exclusive in 1995. The main features on East Campus include Lilly Library, The Ark dance studio, and Marketplace—the first-year dining hall.

West Campus

West Campus, home of the famous Chapel, features many other Duke favorites including Cameron Indoor and Wallace Wade Stadium. The campus was created in 1924 when Trinity College underwent an expansion as a result of the Duke Endowment. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors live on West Campus in one of its eight quadrangles. The Richard H. Brodhead Center for Campus Life offers an array of dining venues and study rooms. Additionally, the Duke Student Wellness Center is the home of Counseling & Psychological Services, Student Health, a tranquil garden, the “Oasis” which has a massage chair, meditation pillows and more.

Duke Athletics

Since the school’s birth year, our athletics have been enviable. The 1938 football team was known as the Iron Dukes for their impenetrable defense

line, and since then our 18 sports teams have flourished. Men’s basketball has won five NCAA Division I championships, thanks to recently retired icon Coach Krzyzewski and his 42-year long career.

Duke Gardens

More than 1,000 species and give miles of green space started with a simple wish in the 1930’s–Dr. Frederic Hanes, gardener and medical faculty, was determined to turn a debris-filled ravine into

something beautiful. He coerced Sarah P. Duke to donate $20,000 to the cause, and in 1935 over 100 flower beds were planted. Mary Duke Biddle and land designer Ellen Biddle Shipman gave the garden new life after heavy storms and floods, and their creation is still flourishing today.

The Nasher Museum

In 1969, the acquisition of 200 medieval works allowed the concept of a Duke University Museum of Art to be born. In 2005, the sleek, modern Nasher Museum we know today gave a new home to art housed in a former science building on East Campus. As Raymond D. Nasher, Duke alumnus, collector, and benefactor gazed at the new construction, he supposedly claimed, “This will be one of the most important, most interesting university art museums in the country.”

Gothic Architecture

West Campus features the most architectural diversity, blending Georgian, the most modern of the modern, and Duke’s signature gothic styles. You can’t miss the Chapel, the intricate and gargantuan pinnacle around which other campus buildings revolve. Julian Abele, prominent AfricanAmerican architect, served as the chief planner of the university campus from 1924 through the 1950s. Mr. Abele designed the Duke Chapel, among other gothic style buildings on campus like Baldwin Auditorium, Cameron Indoor Stadium, and the Duke Medical School.

A PASS THROUGH THE LAST NIGHTS OF COACH K’S K-VILLE

By Jake C. Piazza | @jake_piazza

The name on the sign in front of Krzyzewskiville will be the same next year, but the man himself won’t be inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I know that the tent city will still return. The Cameron Crazies didn’t get their names for no reason. But in the days leading up to the last night of the tenting season, I realized the finality of all of this: No Duke student will ever sleep outside in a tent again to see Mike Krzyzewski and his squad take on North Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I’ll admit I’ve also gotten caught up in the allure of all of this the past year. The national championships, gold medals and memories make that easy to do. I don’t know Coach K well outside of talking to him in press conferences and my 72 hours of fame after a brief exchange we had after a game a year ago, but I don’t think even he could have had the faintest idea that his legacy would grow to this.

K-Ville is almost impossible to explain to someone unless you’ve done it yourself. I tried to break down the tenting experience for a friend of mine by showing her on FaceTime—it doesn’t work.

There’s something about Coach K or Duke or a combination of both that convinces hundreds of students to sleep outdoors in the frigid Durham winter nights every year. I can’t pretend that I know what it was like to tent in K-Ville during Coach K’s final season, but I was there for the last two nights of it all—it’s not hard to see why students do it.

I knew everything in K-Ville would be gone soon, not to return until next year when the tenters would be sleeping outside to see a different man and his squad take on North Carolina.

Jake Piazza Sports Editor v. 117

I was there for the last two nights of it all—it’s not hard to see why students do it.

There are Lucky Charms sitting on the table instead of the usual Math 401 homework. We’re in the study area, which in K-Ville is the massive white tent in front of Cameron equipped with outlets, chairs and tables.

“I should be studying, but it’s the last night,” senior Ashley Wang says as she scoops some cereal in the early hours of Friday morning..

Wang has been Blue Tenting, the longest and most extreme phase this year,in K-Ville for 13 nights, longer than her friend sophomore Anthony Salgado who was just in his third. Her tent has the best wifi in K-Ville, something that comes as a precious commodity when you’ve been tenting since Jan. 23.

Salgado’s tent is two lamp posts away from the study tent. You measure by lamp posts in K-Ville, not feet or yards.

This was the last normal night of Krzyzewskiville. Twenty-four hours after this moment, Duke would have it’s “P-checks” night when every tenter comes to K-Ville and has to be present for three of the five line monitor checks while simultaneously taking part in a party that would go on to the early hours of the morning.

Salgado, Wang and company had given up on the thought of sleep that night. Salgado even procrastinated on writing his paper. He knew he’d be up all night anyway.

“I’ll trade you two goldfish for one marshmallow,” Salgado says to Ashley.

Throughout the 1980s, the tradition of spending days and nights in tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium continued to grow. A Chronicle story on Feb. 1, 2001, traced the semi-official history back to March 1986, though students had lined up for many hours for big games for several years prior to that.

They share their K-Ville stories with me. Like that time after the road Virginia game when some tenters made cheeseburgers on the quad between the grassy patches. The chefs tried to give Paolo Banchero a burger, but the star freshman declined. They ran out of buns by the time Wang got hers, but the cheese and onions on top made up for it.

“Do the Wordle,” Wang says to her friends. Salgado pulls up Octordle on his computer, and just comes up short of getting all eight right.

Bryan Center, home to the University Store, student mail center, office space, even a McDonalds. BC Plaza refers to the outdoor seating area outside the building, conveniently featuring power outlets.

"C 1"

The East-West bus. Most students quite literally can’t live without it. Make sure you allocate extra minutes for potential delays.

"DDMF"

Basketball fans love to paint it in blue on their bodies: Duke Duke MF. You fill in the blanks.

"GTHC"

A similar basketball slogan, useful for telling certain rivals where exactly you want them to go.
