Hey Duke fans...
I had no idea Trinity College was renamed Duke University in 1924.
Found this 1906 team photo in a Winston-Salem antique store this weekend. As I went from booth to booth this really took me by surprise. Amazing clarity and condition. Somewhere along the line the cardboard edge was trimmed, but the huge size and quality makes up for it. The image itself measures 14 x 9.

Here's why they're now called Duke...
Washington Duke gave what was then known as Trinity College a $100,000 endowment in 1896, with the stipulation that the college "open its doors to women, placing them on an equal footing with men."
In 1924, Washington Duke's son, James B. Duke, established The Duke Endowment with a $40 million ($434 million in 2005 dollars) trust fund. The annual income of the fund was to be distributed to hospitals, orphanages, the Methodist Church, three colleges, and Trinity College. Last edited by thekingofclout; 04-04-2010 at 06:08 PM.
