Benefactor Offered $3000 To Avoid Speech At Opening
Would you give $3,000 to avoid making a speech?
That's the amount George Fowler, benefactor of Fowler shops, offered K.U. officials to not ask him to speak at the formal opening of the shops in 1898.
Fowler, the son of a wealthy Kansas City meat packer, decided in ten minutes to write an $18,000 check to ®
Fowler, the son of a wealthy Ka. minutes to write an $18,000 check to pay for the building, but because of his bashfulness he never came to the campus to see the result of his generosity.
The University agreed to name the building in memory of Fowler's father and to raise money to equip the shops by popular subscription. A drive in Lawrence and Kansas City raised the $30,000 needed for equipment.
The power plant had burned in 1897, so the new building contained the engineering shops, the `power plant and pumping machinery.
Now, after half a century of use including two fires in 1918 and 1932, the building will be remodeled for use by the William Allen White School of Journalism.
The cornerstone which reads "Fowler Shops, 1888" has been taken from over the door of the old building and was put in the south wall of the new Fowler shops building at the southwest corner of the campus.
The new building, costing $200,000,
is ready for plumbing and wiring
and some of the larger pieces of
shop equipment have been moved in
Paul G. Hausman, director of the shops, said that the shop equipment which has been in storage will be moved into the building as soon as possible, although present plans are for a final move of the department during the summer.
The equipment now available for the new shops will make it one of
the best equipped departments in the Midwest, Mr. Hausman said. Much of it has not been used because the old building is too crowded. Most of the machines are war surplus, therefore the cost has been low, Mr. Hausman said.
There are precision testing and measuring instruments of all types, constituting a collection unequaled in this part of the country. The base of a huge stamping press and great welders had to be moved into the building before partitions were built.
Mr. Hausman and Howard Rust, instructor in shop practice, searched government storage buildings and war plants for months to collect the many types of machines that the University now owns. They took millions of dollars worth of surplus property to get the pieces they needed, then distributed the rest to colleges and high schools in this area.
"There is a growing emphasis on shopwork for engineering students," Mr. Hausman said, "especially on processing by the most efficient methods." Engineers should know the possibilities and limitations of machines, he explained, and students here will have better rounded training as a result of the variety of machines available and the modern factory type building.
The building is constructed to emphasize conditions under which an engineer would work.
