Man	Duke is wonderful.	1:42
	It's the best combination of everything.	1:44
Man	Can't describe Duke in one way,	1:46
	too many things to do, too short of a time to do it.	1:48
Woman	There's so much offered on campus.	1:52
	You can find anything.	1:54
Man	We work hard, but we have a lot of fun.	1:56

	♪ What a wonderful world ♪	2:26
-	Look at the weather here.	2:32
	Blue sky, sunny day, February 7th.	2:33
	What more could you ask for?	2:37
	This is college, this is Duke right here.	2:38
	(upbeat music)	2:41
-	If I could describe Duke in just one word.	2:49
	I guess it would have to be...	2:52
	Duke, maybe.	2:55
-	I think if I had to describe Duke	2:58
	in just a number of sentences,	2:59
	I, I would find difficulty doing that.	3:01
-	One word that describes Duke.	3:07
	Southern.	3:12
-	Opportunity.	3:14
-	Indeed, it is difficult to put Duke	3:17
	in just a few sentences, I think this campus,	3:19
	this community, this career that we have for four years,	3:22
	can't be stated in the matter of sentences.	3:26
-	Insane.	3:30
-	Duke is an Island.	3:32
-	To me, Duke has definitely been an experience	3:34
	of learning much more than just my classes	3:37
	and what I do through my books and professors.	3:40
	I've gone through a period where I've had to learn	3:43
	more about myself in these past two years	3:46
	I've ever thought possible.	3:48
-	I think it's an ongoing	3:52
	chapter of our lives that we add to each week, each day,	3:56
	and to just give you one sentence	4:00
	or a few sentences of that would be completely inaccurate.	4:02
	It certainly wouldn't convey the entire experience.	4:06
	Thank you.	4:09
	("ABC" by Jackson 5)	4:15
	♪ You went to school to learn girl ♪	4:20
	♪ Things you never, never knew before ♪	4:22
	♪ And why 2 plus 2 makes 4 ♪	4:27
	♪ Now, now, now, I'm gonna teach you ♪	4:28
	♪ All about love girl ♪	4:32
-	Both my parents went to Carolina.	4:35
	I think one of the great things about America is that	4:37
	every child has the opportunity to do	4:39
	better than their parents.	4:40
	♪ It's easy as 123 ♪	4:42
	♪ As simple as do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3 ♪	4:43
	♪ Baby, you and me, girl ♪	4:48
-	Well, it strikes me that a Duke college	4:54
	education has several reasons for it.	4:56
	I think, first of all, it's to teach	5:00
	Duke students how to think.	5:02
	Like, if I can work with a student to have them, sort of,	5:06
	develop a way of thinking, learning how to approach inquiry.	5:09
	I think that's the talent and the skill that goes on	5:14
	and you keep that for the whole rest of your life.	5:17
Man	We have some very intellectual people here	5:22
	and I feel that the vision for Duke is very much alive.	5:23
	What I love most about it,	5:28
	is people have genuine desire to get to know each other.	5:29
	People of opposing viewpoints coming together	5:33
	in a truly intellectual spirit.	5:36
	("Help" by The Beatles)	5:49
	♪ Help, I need somebody ♪	5:50
	♪ Help, not just anybody ♪	5:51
	♪ Help, you know I need someone ♪	5:53
	♪ Help ♪	5:56
Man	My academic experience so far could probably be	5:59
	summed up in my first UWC paper that I wrote,	6:02
	which is entitled Beavis and Butthead as antichrists.	6:05
Man	You can work hard and play hard at the same time.	6:10
	There's enough of a balance here where you can	6:12
	have an active social life and still take part in activities	6:15
	and just really, you know, do what you wanna do	6:19
	and branch out and explore.	6:22
Woman	I've had the best professors,	6:23
	like, it's really been a treat.	6:25
	I've had so much opportunity to work with	6:26
	just really bright people	6:28
	and my classes are genuinely interesting.	6:30
	I really think that the academics here are wonderful	6:34
	and if you work hard enough, you can find,	6:36
	like, a good time no matter where you go.	6:39
	(upbeat music)	6:43
-	The reason for teaching in general is to, sort of,	7:00
	challenge people to think about issues,	7:04
	to think about inquiry, to think about how to learn.	7:08
	So I think it's at this unique point	7:12
	that I find it most interesting	7:14
	and most challenging to help people	7:16
	in their thinking process because they're not only	7:19
	growing in intellectual content,	7:23
	but they're also making decisions	7:24
	that are going to impact them the rest of their lives.	7:26
	And, so to raise questions with them about that	7:28
	and, to me, it's the most interesting aspect of teaching.	7:33
-	(singing) Our president was Thomas Jefferson,	7:55
	he made a deal with Napoleon,	7:59
	[Inaudible 00:08:02]	8:02
	to sell a mile or two, or three, or a hundred,	8:03
	or a thousand, and so in 1807, Louisi	8:08
	and a territory was sold to us without a fuss	8:14
	and gave us lots of elbow room.	8:20
	(cheering)	8:23
	Ethel, thank you.	8:24
Man	Thank you.	8:25
Louis Armstrong	Thank you, folks.	8:33
	Here's a beautiful recording of ours called That's My Home.	8:34
	("That's My Home" by Louis Armstrong)	8:39
	(upbeat music)	9:53
-	For me, Duke is a, sort of, a Gothic Wonderland,	10:11
	a city upon a hill, a place where students	10:16
	and faculty alike can come together in unity	10:21
	and hold discussions, and groups,	10:25
	and celebrate diverse identities while maintaining,	10:30
	still, the same contextual role of, how shall we say is,	10:35
	of education based on the principles of	10:40
	Nannerl Keohane.	10:45
-	The [Inaudible 00:10:53]	10:53
	have chosen you to the pleasantry of this university.	10:54
	May our confidence of the wisdom of their choice, I now,	10:57
	by dear order, invest you with all the dignity, privileges,	11:03
	and authority of the odds.	11:08
	And pray that all mighty God may grant you wisdom, patience,	11:10
	courage, humor, and strength,	11:14
	to do all the things required of you.	11:17
	(clapping)	11:21
-	I think I like the diversity, combination of diversity	11:29
	and the feeling there's other people here.	11:32
	Being from the South,	11:34
	I've had a chance for the first time in my life, I guess,	11:35
	to meet people from a variety of regions and countries	11:37
	and just across the United States.	11:41
	And it's really helped me to vary my perspective on life.	11:42
-	Welcome to Diwali, 1993.	11:45
	And we're so glad that we can share our Indian culture	11:47
	with Duke, and we hope everyone has a great time tonight	11:49
	and enjoys Diwali.	11:52
-	Good stuff.	11:54
-	First time I've ever had Indian food.	11:55
-	I don't know what the green stuff is,	11:57
	but it's really good.	11:58
	(upbeat Indian music)	12:00
-	Perfect, I liked it a lot.	12:13
Girls Together	You want this!	12:16
	(stomping)	12:19
	You want this!	12:33
	(clapping and stomping)	12:38
	(calming music)	12:49
	(upbeat music)	13:19
Woman	They are wearing white shirts,	13:19
	called [Inaudible 00:13:21], with black pants.	13:21
	(cheering)	13:25
	(upbeat music)	13:34
Woman	I like the carefreeness of not having to,	13:36
	you know, be on a clock constantly.	13:39
Man	Just take it easy, enjoy while you're here	13:41
	and don't worry about the real world outside for now.	13:44
Man	The thing I think I'm gonna miss most	13:47
	about being in Duke is, I mean,	13:49
	tests and everything are kind of stressful	13:51
	but it's nothing compared to the real world and	13:53
	I think I'll miss just being with all my friends	13:55
	without many worries.	13:57
	(upbeat music)	14:10
-	I guess, if you had to ask me	14:53
	what I really like about Duke	14:54
	or what's been the most important thing,	14:56
	I guess it's opportunity, chance to do things,	14:58
	to experience different things, to be a Cameron Crazie,	15:00
	to work with a lot of different people,	15:03
	to meet people from different backgrounds, different places,	15:06
	do different things.	15:09

	("Duke of Earl" by Gene Chandler)	16:25
Man	There's absolutely something for everybody.	16:31
	You should just try everything.	16:33
Woman	When you look back in your college career,	16:35
	you wanna be able to say that you've accomplished something.	16:37
	Even if it's not tangible, I think is really important.	16:38
	There's just too much out there	16:41
	for you as a student to tap into	16:43
	and I highly recommend getting involved.	16:45
	(upbeat music)	16:48
	(intense music)	16:59
Man	The best part of the Duke basketball has gotta be	19:59
	being part of the Cameron Crazies.	20:01
	That's a hell of a lot of fun.	20:05
	I do it every night, all night.	20:06
	It's just wild and crazy, it's just indescribable.	20:09
	(cheering)	20:14

	("I Wanna Go Back" by Eddie Money)	22:39
-	I'm a senior, yes.	23:00
	And I'm very excited to get outta here.	23:02
	I'm very tied of Duke, I'm very tired of school,	23:06
	and I'm very tired of studying.	23:08
	The real world is for me.	23:11
	I'm looking forward to leaving.	23:13
	I've had great memories but it's time to go.	23:15
-	When graduation rolls around,	23:18
	what I'll miss the most, are like little things	23:20
	like looking at the chapel as the sun's about to set.	23:23
-	Being able to live with friends, living in their dorm,	23:26
	you know, going down, you know, the hallway and being like,	23:29
	hey, what's up?	23:31
	You know, and like, friends coming by.	23:32
Woman	I'm gonna miss living in a dorm cause	23:35
	if I lived in an apartment at grad school,	23:38
	I'm gonna be by myself.	23:41
Man	I'd say I'm gonna have to miss	23:44
	probably the people the most.	23:47
Woman	Friends, roommates,	23:49
	friends are the best thing at Duke.	23:52
Man	I'm gonna miss Burger King when I graduate.	23:55
Woman	The cheese sticks at the rad,	23:57
	those were pretty good,	23:58
	I don't know if those can be duplicated anywhere else.	23:59
Man	The Southern hospitality.	24:03
	The campus, the campus is one of the most	24:06
	gorgeous places I've ever been.	24:08
	The squirrels, the chapel.	24:10
Man	My friends, friends I made here freshman year.	24:14
	I mean, there's so many memories here	24:19
	that we're gonna be able to miss.	24:20
	(calming music)	24:28
-	Let me tell you how I feel about graduation.	24:40
	(laughing)	24:42
	Actually, I'm pretty excited.	24:43
	I think I've run my time here at Duke University	24:45
	and I'm ready to move on.	24:48
	Not that I know what I'm doing, but I'm ready to move on.	24:50
-	I'm numb.	24:53
	I'm exuberant to get the heck out of here	24:54
	and I'm really depressed	24:57
	cause I'm leaving all of my friends.	24:59
	So, kind of a mixture of happiness and sadness	25:00
	and depression and all that kind of thing.	25:04
-	Well, it's relieving and it's frustrating, so.	25:07
-	Cause none of us know where we're going.	25:11
	Or what we're doing, but we enjoy it.	25:12
-	It's kind of a big relief.	25:16
-	Little scary.	25:18
-	Little scary at times,	25:19
	we don't know what's going on in our future.	25:20
	Taking it easily, one step at a time.	25:23
-	I feel very excited.	25:26
	I'm sad to leave my friends, but I'm ready to move on	25:28
	to other things, but it's been a great four years.	25:30
-	I'm pretty happy.	25:32
	I've spent a good four years here	25:35
	and I've met a lot of interesting people	25:36
	and done a lot of interesting things and activities.	25:38
	And it's been a good four years and it's a time to move on.	25:42
-	I think that the last few years were very educational	25:46
	and I met a lot of friends,	25:49
	that's probably the best thing I'll remember about college.	25:50
	(cheering)	25:53
-	Aw.	25:53
