Trinity College Takes Final Step to Become Duke University, Dec. 31, 1924

Trinity Secures Charter Amendment

By the Associated Press

Raleigh, Dec. 30—The amended charter of Trinity college, Durham, N.C., changing the name to Duke University, was approved by Secretary of State Everett today, shortly after being presented by Joseph G. Brown of Raleigh, chairman of the board of trustees of the institution.

Thus the last legal step was completed, necessary to the acceptance by Trinity of the James B. Duke $6 million trust fund, created for education, charity and religion in the state.
