<head>Historical Note</head>

<p>The Founders' Society was created in 1980 to honor individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations whose gifts of endowment have strengthened and ensured continuing excellence for Duke University.  Founders' Society members are honored by the University: through recognition at a special presentation during Founders' Day Weekend; through invitations to special events and programs relating to the initiatives they support; through the Founders' Society banquet; and with the presentation of a replica <title render="italic">The Sower</title> statue.  Numbering 193 at its inception in 1980 membership reached more than 1550 by 1995.  The Founders' Society ended in 2004.</p>
