DANFORTH CHAPEL, A QUIET RETREAT—The chapel, located on the eastern edge of the campus is always lighted and open for students. It was dedicated in 1946 "to give wisdom, strength, and courage to those who seek respite there."
Danforth Chapel Always Open to Students
Danforth chapel was dedicated on April 2, 1946 "to give wisdom, strength, and courage to those who seek respite there." At that date it was turned over to the students with the understanding that it would be lighted and open at all times as a retreat and place of prayer for all students.
The student sanctuary was accepted on behalf of the state by Andrew F. Schoeppel, then governor of Kansas, at an all student convocation.
William H. Danforth, chairman of the board of the Ralston Purina company in St. Louis, made the initial gift toward building the chapel. It was his belief that a university campus needs a place of quiet and of light; it is a vibrant, vigorous atmosphere, open at all times for the personal use of the students
The quiet retreat, located at the eastern end of the campus, was designed by Edward Tanner, head architect for the J. C. Nichols company in Kansas City, Mo. The chapel was designed as a memorial to his mother, Mrs. Harriet Tanner. Mr. Tanner was the first graduate of the University's architecture department.
the chapel from rock taken from the quarry located on the campus but stonemasons found the rock impossible to shape properly. So, it was necessary to find a new source of building material.
Dr. Leonard H. Axe, now dean of the School of Business, but then director of University service, combed the countryside in search of suitable rock.
The original intention was to build
One day while driving over a road approximately two miles south of U.S. highway 40, between Topeka and Lawrence, he discovered a stone fence. It was composed of native limestone and appeared to be in sufficient quantity for the construction of the building. Immediately negotiations were begun with the owner of the land on which the fence was found. The University acquired the rock for some money and a new wire fence.

"Christ at Gethsemane," a copy in oils of a painting by Hoffman was donated for the chapel by the Clarence H. Poindexter family. The original painting was stolen from the chapel on Feb. 15, 1949. The frame alone was found in the rear of the building a few days later. Mr. Danforth arranged for a duplicate copy of the work and the insurance company paid the University $500 for the replacement. The duplicate of
In 1945 German prisoners of war were working at the University. The Buildings and Grounds department sent the prisoners and some trucks to bring the rock back to the campus. Very little shaping of the rock had to be done, because the pieces were well cut and close to the required size.
A contest for the best design of a bookplate for chapel hymns was won in April, 1947 by Donald Ivan Kane, fine arts sophomore, and later an instructor at the University. His design, a Gothic stained-glass window in an arch which framed a cross, was used in more than 300 hymnals.
