Today, we have another school from John Jost's East Coast collection, namely
Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Duke is known for both great academics -- some refer informally to it as a "
Magnolia League" or southern Ivy League school -- and great basketball. Officially members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Duke has won
five NCAA men's basketball titles under Mike Krzyzewski ("Coack K"), with the women's team making
several Final Four appearances.
John's Duke photos focused on hoops, with fans pouring in to see a Blue Devils game in classic old Cameron Indoor Stadium (see
here and
here for background on the facility). Cameron is located on the West Campus, which features
neo-Gothic architecture.
Even the inside of the building has a very academic look. If I hadn't known what this was, I'd have thought I was looking at a graduation.
