Historical Note
The concept for Duke Medicine began in the mid-1920s during the final years of life of James Buchanan Duke. An extremely talented businessman, Duke built his fortunes in the tobacco and textile industries. In 1924, he used $40 million to establish the Duke Endowment and directed that $6 million be used to transform Trinity College into Duke University. The next year, upon his death, he made an additional bequest to the Endowment and the University, including $4 million to establish a medical school, hospital, and nurses home. One of Duke's primary motivations in establishing the Endowment and Duke School of Medicine was the improvement of health care in the Carolinas, a relatively poor region of the country at that time, lacking in physicians, hospitals, and medical schools. Duke's bold dream was to create what he hoped would become the best medical institution between Baltimore and New Orleans. Indeed, less than four years after the new school and hospital opened in 1930, an accreditation committee of the American Medical Association placed Duke among the top 20 schools in the country. Several dedicated educators, administrators, and researchers established the foundations for current successes during the Medical Center's formative years. Forty-six original faculty of the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Services (includes teaching and clinical positions within the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and Duke Hospital) were appointed between February 10, 1929 and January 3, 1931, except for Wilburt C. Davison, first dean of the School of Medicine. Davison was appointed January 21, 1927.
