this money which we now present. | 8:45 | |

- | To bear witness to our faith | 9:00 |
in the eternal union of knowledge and religion | 9:02 | |
set forth in the teaching and character of Jesus Christ, | 9:05 | |
the Son of God. | 9:09 | |
- | We dedicate this space, | 9:12 |
the symbol of our university. | 9:14 | |
- | To aid in the advancement of learning | 9:23 |
in all lines of truth. | 9:25 | |
To aid in the defense of scholarship | 9:27 | |
against all false notions and ideals. | 9:29 | |
To aid in developing a Christian love of freedom and truth. | 9:33 | |
To aid in promoting a sincere spirit of tolerance. | 9:37 | |
And to aid in the discouragement | 9:41 | |
of all partisan and sectarian strife. | 9:43 | |
- | We dedicate this to thy | 9:47 |
symbol of the office | 9:49 | |
of the president of Duke University. | 9:51 | |

and to all whom Duke University influences. | 10:03 | |
In rendering the largest permanent service | 10:11 | |

the state, the nation, and the church. | 10:16 | |
- | We dedicate every sanctum | 10:20 |

We dedicate ourselves, one and all, | 10:38 | |
to Christ and to the way of life which He taught. | 10:41 | |
And now under the blessed and only sovereign, | 10:46 | |
the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, | 10:50 | |
to Him the honor and eternal dominion. | 10:53 | |
