Duke University is a private research university in Durham, North Carolina, United States. Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day city of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892. In 1924, tobacco and electric power industrialist James Buchanan Duke established The Duke Endowment and the institution changed its name to honor his deceased father, Washington Duke.
One of the first buildings on the original Durham campus (East Campus), the Washington Duke Building ("Old Main"), was destroyed by a fire in 1911.
James B. Duke established the Duke Endowment, which provides funds to numerous institutions, including Duke University.
The Levine Science Research Center is the largest single-site interdisciplinary research facility of any American university.
Duke Chapel, an icon for the university, can seat nearly 1,600 people and contains a 5,200-pipe organ.
