  William Kenneth Boyd

  William Kenneth Boyd was born in Curryville, Missouri in 1879 but grew up in Weaverville, North Carolina. He graduated from Trinity College with an A.B. degree in 1897 and an M.A. degree in 1898. While working towards his M.A. degree, Boyd trained under the tutelage of John Spencer Bassett.
  
  After receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1906, Boyd returned to Durham and joined the faculty of Trinity College’s Department of History. He also became the faculty leader of the Trinity College Historical Society, following in the footsteps of Bassett. Boyd established strong ties with the Society while a student, being one of the first to write a paper for its Historical Papers series and serving as corresponding secretary, vice president, and president.
  
  Under his leadership, the Society’s collecting focus shifted from relics and curiosities to manuscripts and printed source material. Boyd also initiated the inclusion of historical research and writing of topics outside the realm of North Carolina and Southern history, such as contemporary European affairs.
  
  In 1930, Boyd was named the first Director of Duke University Libraries, a position he held while also serving as Chair of the Department of History and faculty leader of the Society. Boyd led the Trinity College Historical Society from 1906 until his death in 1938. At that time, the Society’s collection included 500,000 pieces of manuscript material, more than 25,000 books and pamphlets, and around 11,000 volumes of newspapers. The eventual creation of the Manuscripts and Rare Book Departments [now the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library] can be attributed not only to the Society as a whole, but also to the work and leadership of Boyd.

  William Boyd

  William K. Boyd, 1932, Oil on canvas, 28" x 36," by Irene Price
  
  Dr. Boyd (1879-1938), a 1897 graduate of Trinity college, was a professor of history and the first Director of the Libraries of Duke University. He also served as Head of the History Department and for a number of years as co-editor of the South Atlantic Quarterly.
  
  The artist, Irene Price, was a member of the 1922 Trinity College class. After graduation, she studied art at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington, D.C. and with Charles W. Hawthorne of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Price wrote to Lillian Griggs, the first Head of the Woman’s College Library (now Lilly Library), proposing to paint a portrait of Dr. Boyd. Griggs was able to persuade Boyd to sit for the portrait, but she warned Price that "Dr. Boyd is restless – moves about a great deal." Boyd actually sat for the portrait in the Woman's College Library and when it was completed in 1932, Price donated the work to the library. The following January, it was a featured piece in an exhibition held at the Woman's College Library of Price’s works. Boyd's portrait is located in the corridor to the right of the main desk in the Lilly Library lobby.
