James B. Duke founded the Duke Endowment in 1924, naming Trinity College as a beneficiary. Trinity College was renamed Duke University that year to honor Washington Duke, James B. Duke's father. Duke University celebrated its centennial in 2024 to honor the institution's past, present, and future potential through events such as exhibits, guest speakers, performances, and an oral history program.
