KU's Passing Parade
This page is devoted to pictures taken around the turn of the century These are more than just old pictures, they are the history of KU.
For example, Old North College hall was the original housing for Kansas State university. It was located near 10th and Louisiana streets. Old North College hall later became the Fine Arts building when Fraser was built
The picture of the campus from Potter lake may not, at first glance, appear too old, but a closer look shows that at that time Strong hall had only one wing, which was thought to be sufficient to meet the needs of an expanding university.
The group picture is of another home-
coming day, during the "Gay Nineties" era.
The Kappa Alpha Theta's posed for this shot
on the way to the game.
Original pictures are courtesy of the KU alumni office and the Watson library.
Homecoming day in the 1890s was little different from today The excitement and anticipation is the same, only the dress and transportation have changed considerably.
Picture Story by David S. Arthurs
The northern slope of the KU campus was used for grazing land up to quite recently. The cows have been replaced by the campanile and Memorial stadium. Potter lake can be seen on the far left.
Old North College hall, where KU began, stood where now is only an empty lot. Chancellor Fraser decided to move the university to its present location.
