What happened to the statue of James B. Duke that used to stand guard over the lawn in front of the chapel? Is he away for cleaning, or did some graduating senior abscond with him? The pedestal looks mighty empty out there….
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Buck Duke is visiting Cincinnati. The Duke News & Communications office has some information on the statue’s cleaning by a bronze specialist there: http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2005/05/jbd_statue_cleaning.html “The Sower” statue on East Campus was recently cleaned by the same company: http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2005/04/sower.html
