paranormal research
There are lots of photographs of one of the school's sports teams but nothing that I could find about its long-running paranormal research (now separated from the univeristy); [https://exhibits.library.duke.edu/exhibits/show/parapsychology/about-the-exhibit Duke University Library Exhibits | About the Exhibit · Early Studies in Parapsychology at Duke] Kdammers (talk) 18:12, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Fake accusation of racism
I notice that the blatantly false accusation of racist abuse made by one of the Duke University Women's Volleyball team players is conspicuous by its absence. Is this because you cannot find a sufficiently left-wing website that has covered the incident?PortholePete (talk) 10:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Wrong seal
The seal used in the info box is not the normal one used by Duke. For example, see this photo [https://www.flickr.com/photos/dukeyearlook/2035059469] of Baldwin Auditorium, a building on Duke's East Campus. 2603:6081:1500:32B8:3997:6024:B8C4:69C2 (talk) 05:36, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
The Duke University Bluedevils Mascot
William H. Lander, and Bradshaw wrote the newsletter for the Trinity Chronicle. Though there is little evidence to support this, they were Quakers, and opposed slavery. They likely created the nickname Bluedevils as opposed to Reddevils or just devils as an allusion to the Union, the North, and generally, in opposition to Confederate sympathizers. The best and most logical support for this is that the University of North Carolina Tar Heels mascot references the fighting spirit of the North Carolina regiment during the Civil War.
