The Launching of Duke University, 1924–1949

"Robert Durden's long-awaited history of Duke University is more than worth the wait. "The Launching of Duke University" brings to life names and events we have known but vaguely, and inspires the present with tales of hope, vision, and perseverence. It is a remarkable story, beginning with an earnest desire for education in Randolph County, North Carolina, evolving into a university destined to become one of the best in the world."--Terry Sanford, President Emeritus (1969-85), Duke University
