Duke University
In 1974, Brodie moved to Duke University to become chair of the department of psychiatry, with the encouragement of Ewald "Bud" Busse, who was leaving the chairmanship to become dean of the School of Medicine. He was later named James B. Duke Professor of Psychiatry and Law. He was chancellor of Duke University in 1982, and became president of the university in 1985. He served as president from 1985 to 1993. After his term as president, Brodie continued teaching and clinical work.
As president of Duke University, Brodie helped to expand applications to graduate and undergraduate programs and increase Duke's national reputation as a research university. He also led efforts to increase racial/ethnic diversity among the faculty through the Black Faculty Initiative, a program that would be echoed by his successor, Nan Keohane, through the creation of the Women's Initiative.

Famous quotes containing the words duke and/or university:
“That celebrated,
Cultivated
Underrated
Nobleman,
The Duke of Plaza-Toro!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
