DURHAM (from GoDuke Magazine, May edition) -- If you took a stroll through the Duke campus over the past two months, you would have found a sight different than any other spring in its illustrious history. The lunch hours saw no gathering masses, the Abele Quad hosted no Frisbee catches or group studies, and the athletic facilities featured none of the 10 Blue Devil programs that were set to compete through the early stages of summer.
On March 10 — while the students were on spring break and the scholastic calendar approached its home stretch — Duke president Vincent Price made the decision to suspend in-person classes until further notice.
