Duke Throw Pillows
Duke University, located in Durham, North Carolina, began in 1838 when Brantley York was hired by a group of Quakers and Methodists as a permanent teacher. It went through several transformations from Normal College to Trinity College. The Duke family became involved when Washington Duke offered endowments on the condition that women be admitted. The name honors the family's ongoing contributions. Our throw pillows are a reminder of the importance of philanthropy in education.
