Duke University was created in 1924 by James        Buchanan Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. The Dukes, a        Durham family that built a worldwide financial empire in the manufacture        of tobacco and developed electricity production in the Carolinas, long had        been interested in Trinity College. Trinity traced its roots to 1838 in        nearby Randolph County when local Methodist and Quaker communities opened        Union Institute. The school, then-named Trinity College, moved to Durham        in 1892. In December 1924, the provisions of James B. Duke’s indenture        created the family philanthropic foundation, The Duke Endowment, which        provided for the expansion of Trinity College into Duke University.</blockquote>
