He is holding a helmet.||Paul Anderson Duke graduated from Georgia Tech in 1945 with a degree in M.E., and in 1946 with a degree in I.E. Although he began his football career at Tech as a walk-on, he captained the team as a junior during Coach Bobby Dodd's first season, and was named an All-American center by both the Associated Press and United Press International during his senior year. He was AAU heavyweight wrestling champion in 1945, a member of ANAK, secretary of his senior class, and president of the Chi Phi fraternity. Duke was one of the forces behind the incorporation of Technology Park/Atlanta in 1971, an early hub of high-tech industry in the Atlanta area. He was the founder and chairman of Peachtree Corners. Duke received the President's Award in 1987 for "exceptional achievement and unusual generosity". He is a former trustee of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, and a former member of both the Georgia Tech Athletic Advisory Board and the National Advisory Board. He was named a trustee of the Georgia Tech Foundation in 1972 and became a trustee emeritus in 1992. In 1982 he received the Alumni Distinguished Service Award. en_US
