Until 1924 Duke University was called Trinity College. At the time the college was going bankrupt so a man named Washington Duke decided to donate millions to the school to keep it running. Trinity accepted the offer, but there was one catch; the college had to name the school after his last name. So "Duke" accepted the offer and that is how Duke got its name.
