Abstract
The events leading up to the creation of Duke University, the Duke University School of Medicine, and Duke Hospital are reviewed. The efforts of many individuals during more than 80 years were rewarded by an endowment and then a bequest by James B. Duke that converted Trinity College into Duke University and made possible the origination of its Medical Center. The first neurosurgical operation at the new hospital was performed on July 24, 1930, the fourth day it was open.
