A long standing tradition of Trinity College and Duke University is the observance of honoring the institutions' benefactors. The practice was formalized by the Board of Trustees on June 4, 1901, when October 3 was designated as Benefactors' Day, in honor of Washington Duke.  The university has received major endowments and grants from the [[Rockefeller Foundation]] in 1949, the [[Ford Foundation]] in 1955, and The [[the Duke Endowment]] in 1952 and 1957. <ref>[http://library.duke.edu/uarchives/history/histnotes/foundersday.html Founders day], Duke University, accessed September 16, 2009</ref>

An August of 2007 inspection report revealed that 9 primates inside Duke labs were substantially deprived of water, receiving as little as 10 – 20 ml of water per day. A laboratory dog lost 13% of his body weight in just 5 days after a surgical procedure. Duke also filed a fraudulent report with the USDA, which lied about the number of dogs and primates experimented on. In one report, Duke reported 97 dogs when 110 were actually used. The university also reported 14 primates when 62 were used. According to Micheal Budkie":

:“The careless and negligent attitude of Duke staff is apparent from these government reports. They have purposely deceived the USDA about the number of animals used, as well as depriving these animals of food and water.”<ref>Micheal Budkie [http://www.all-creatures.org/saen/press-20080424-1.html Research Watchdog Organization Reveals Violations in Duke Labs; Dog Starved; Monkeys Deprived of Water; Fraudulent Report Filed], SAEN, Press Releases, April 2008</ref>
