UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Tuesday, October 24,1967
Faculty came first in building KU
There's no chicken-and-egg argument about which came first in the formation of KU.
It was faculty—then students, and later buildings and activities.
The University was begun with three faculty members, and, by 1891, its faculty included 45 teachers and lecturers. Fifty-five preparatory level students had become a thousand collegiate level students.
The KU Courier in 1891 reported:
"President Eliot (of Harvard) said our University had made more progress in 25 years than Harvard had in two centuries, and it is safe to say KU has advanced more toward the standard of a real university in the last five years than it did in the 20 years previous..."
Today KU's 850 faculty members, not including teaching assistants, instructs 17,000 students in the University's 102nd year.

Winn, others will discuss Vietnam situation, war
Congressman Larry Winn Jr. of Kansas will take part in a discussion of Vietnam at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 2 at the Village Church, Prairie Village.
Sheep film wins award
E. Raymond Hall, Solon E. Summerfield Professor of zoology and vice president of Defenders of Wild Life, recently pursuaded that organization to make an educational movie showing how sheep grazing damages land and wild life balance.
This month the film, made by the Centron Corporation of Lawrence, won an award in national competition.
The discussion will be divided into three sections.
First will be a 20-minute analysis of historical and contemporary foreign policy by Congressman Winn.
A panel discussion by four area citizens will make up the second part of the program. They will take questions from the floor about any area of Vietnam policy. The panel will be made up of Harold Edlund, a businessman and president of the Prairie school board; Mrs. Robert Buehler, active in community affairs; Stan Rose, an area publisher; and Rev. Thomas Underwood, Minister of the Cherokee Christian Church.
During the final part of the evening Congressman Winn will take questions and opinions from the floor.
The church is located at 67th Street and Mission Road.
