Watkins Hall To Celebrate 25th Anniversary With Tea
By DOROTHY OGLESBEE and ANNE SNYDER
The 25th anniversary of Watkins hall, gift of Mrs. Elizabeth M. Watkins to the University in 1926, will be celebrated with a tea for all former residents of the hall on Sunday, March 11.
Mrs. Julia Willard, housemother, said invitations have been sent to more than 1,000 people.
Gov. Ed Arn, Chancellor Deane W. Malott, the University board of regents, faculty members, and all former residents of Watkins hall have been invited to the tea.
Mrs. Watkins, who presented the scholarship hall to the University, was the wife of Jabez Bunting Watkins, noted financier, railroad builder, banker, and landowner.
She was born in New Paris, Ohio, in 1861 and came to Lawrence with her parents when she was 10 years old. She attended the Lawrence schools and the University.
She left school to become a secretary. Later she went to New York to study art. However, she saw too many starving artists and turned again to a business career. She worked in Mr. Watkins' New York branch office for three years before they were married Nov. 10 1909.
They returned to Lawrence to build their home on the east edge of the University campus. Mrs. Watkins called her home the Outlook because it rested on the brow of Mt. Oread with the Wakarusa river valley spread below.
The Watkins had no children and when Mr. Watkins died in 1921 Elizabeth Watkins decided to give the bulk of their fortune to the University and the city of Lawrence.
Watkins hall was her first gift to the University. She has been quoted as saying about Watkins hall:
"I have never done anything into which I put me of myself. It is my dream come true. It has been my dream to aid self-supporting
girls to get an education. I planned the hall so that the girls would have the advantages of life in a small group along with those enjoyed by a larger unit."
A case of influenza prompted Mrs. Watkins to build the Watkins Memorial hospital for the University in 1931. Her niece, who was attending the University, became ill with the flu. Mrs. Watkins visited her at the old student hospital which was a three story frame house converted into hospital quarters.
Mrs. Watkins decided that the University needed better medical facilities and provided the funds to build and equip Watkins Memorial hospital.
In 1937 Mrs. Watkins gave the University another scholarship hall for women. This hall was named in honor of her brother, Frank Miller, who died in 1919.
Mrs. Watkins also contributed the funds for building a home for the nurses of Watkins Memorial hospital in 1937.
To the city of Lawrence Mrs, Watkins gave a hospital, a nurses' home, and her husband's bank building to be used as the city hall.
Mrs. Watkins died in June 1939 of a heart attack following a six week illness caused by a kidney infection. She was 78 years old.
Upon her death, her home became University property. It is the present chancellor's home. A bequest of western Kansas land valued at $150,000 was made to the University endowment association.
Mrs. Watkins had also directed that trust funds of $250,000 be set up for Watkins and Miller halls and $175,000 for Watkins Memorial hospital.
