An Iconic Identity

This exhibition explores the history, legacy, and continued role of Duke Chapel in embodying the University's motto of bridging faith (religio) and learning (eruditio). Drawing on archival documents, published material, photographs, and multimedia, the exhibit offers a glimpse into the diverse, robust, and ever-evolving life of Duke Chapel. Moreover, it provides an exploration of the Chapel's unique role as steward of and backdrop for Duke's history and as a place where national tensions and trends found a voice.

This exhibition was sponsored in part by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
