Excerpt from Hill's Durham (N. C.) City Directory, 1927, Vol. 16: Embracing an Alphabetical Directory of Firms, Corporations, Private Citizens, City and County Governments, Churches, Public and Private Schools, Secret and Benevolent Institutions, Banks, and a Street Householders' Directory The more recent Center of Education and Industry added to the name of Durham seems entirely appropriate, since it is in Durham that is being erected What is expected to be the greatest educational institution in America, certainly one of the largest and richest. James B. Duke, who has already made the city famous, made provision in his indenture creating the Duke Endowment of and later in his will, for Duke University, an institution provided with a building and equipment fund of almost 000 and an ever increasing endowment of more than twice as much. This great uni versity is now in process of development and will be completed within the next five years but that is another story and is told more completely under another heading.
