Fowler, Jr., the Duke of Barbers for Over 50 Years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You could easily miss it if you didn\u2019t know it was there, tucked away in a corner on the lower level of Perkins\u00a0Library\u2014a coveted nook of peace and quiet in an otherwise bustling hub of high-tech classrooms known as <a title=\"Duke University: The Link\" href=\"http:\/\/link.duke.edu\/\">the Link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a place of refuge, this small group study with glass walls that students can write on. In that respect, it\u2019s\u00a0not so different from another campus hideaway in the basement of Duke\u2019s West Union: the Duke Barbershop, a much-loved institution owned and operated by the same David Fowler whose name is on this plaque.<\/p>\n<p>Duke has had a barbershop on its campus since 1912. Fowler has worked there for more than half that time. He started out as one of six employees in 1959. Now he runs the place, often arriving at 6:30 a.m. to meet his early-rising clientele.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of five decades, this North Carolina native from Smithfield has cut the hair of thousands of Duke students, faculty, physicians, staff, alumni, and not a few Duke presidents. He has seen the campus grow from a small but respected liberal arts college in the South to a globally renowned research institution.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing that hasn\u2019t changed in all that time is the character of the man Mark J. Prak (\u201977, JD \u201980) calls \u201ca true southern gentleman, one of a dying breed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Prak and his wife, Robin Huestis Prak (\u201975), decided they wanted to pay tribute to the man who has been their family barber and good friend for many years. That\u2019s when they hit upon the idea of naming a library group study in Fowler\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n<p>At a naming ceremony in the Link this past August, with many of Fowler\u2019s close friends, family, and longtime customers in attendance, Mark Prak spoke fondly about the barbershop as a beloved fixture of campus, as much a part of \u201cDear Old Duke\u201d as basketball or gothic arches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis barbershop was and always will be special to me,\u201d said Mark, who first sat down in Fowler\u2019s barber chair as a Duke freshman in August 1973. \u201cLike the bar in the TV show Cheers, it\u2019s a place of community, fellowship, and conversation, where everybody knows your name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDave Fowler is the only person who has ever cut my hair, and I dread his retirement,\u201d said Robin. \u201cOur whole family has wonderful memories of coming to the barbershop. It\u2019s something that has kept me coming back to campus every six weeks like clockwork, even if it isn\u2019t football or basketball season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Praks aren\u2019t alone. Everyone at the ceremony seemed to have a story about David Fowler. And he could tell some stories on them as well\u2014enough to fill a library as big as this one. Not that he ever would. \u201cA good barber knows how to keep secrets,\u201d Fowler joked.<\/p>\n<p>With plans under way to<a title=\"West Union Renovation Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/sites.duke.edu\/westunion\/project-overview\/\"> renovate the West Union<\/a>, changes are coming for the barbershop. But Fowler doesn\u2019t seem too\u00a0concerned. He has seen building renovations come and go, and the shop has changed locations more than once. His devoted customers should take heart. \u201cI\u2019m not retiring yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>If and when he ever does, the Duke of Barbers will always have a little spot on campus he can call his own.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Library Naming Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Naming a library space is a great way to honor someone in your life or celebrate a milestone, and it meets a critical need for today\u2019s busy students\u2014an attractive space to work.
