Shack'Has Served Chemists, Pharmacists, Journalists
The old journalism building in past years fondly referred to as the "Shack" by hundreds of newspapermen who gained their first experience there, still is a training ground, but now for physical and occupational therapy students.
During its history the building has served as the home of the chemistry department, the School of Pharmacy, the laboratories of biology and human anatomy, and the department of journalism, laver the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
In the 1880's, the only building on the campus was Fraser Hall. The chemistry department was in the basement, but there was not enough room for all the students, and no way to remove the odorous and injurious gases.
State Grants $4,000
The State Legislature granted $4,-
000 with permission to use an unexpended interest fund of $8,000 or a new building in 1883.
The late Dr. E. H. Bailey, processor of chemistry, who came to the campus the year the building was erected, said that after it was built, no money was left to buy equipment for it.
State Grants $4.000
Pharmacy Moved In The School of Pharmacy soon shared the building with the chemistry department, and by 1900 the classes were so large that both
groups moved to Bailey Hall. The "Shack" then became the home of histology and human anatomy and was called the Medical School.
The building remained the Medical Hall until 1923, when the last medical class moved away and the journalism department took over.
As the department of journalism grew, two wooden annexes were added to the west side of the building.
While future journalists occupied the "Shack," the doors were hardly ever closed. At almost any hour some student could be found working in the newsroom getting ready for the next day's Daily Kansan.
Lighting With Water
The newsroom, with its high ceiling, was poorly lighted and uncovered steam pipes ran around the walls. These pipes popped and banged when they filled with steam. The steam pipes in the lecture rooms also sounded like a boiler room, and were tough competition for the instructors.
In 1952 the journalists moved into their newly renovated building, made over from the old Fowler shops. Since the, the "Shack" has been used for the extension classes and the Theater Workshop.
Now, with physical and occupational therapy students occupying the building, it seems to be returning to its old medical days.
