It's Our Stadium After Saturday
The stadium will be the University's Saturday when the trustee department of the Lawrence National bank is given a check for $44,625.50, the athletic department said today.
Originally $415,000 was contributed by alumni and friends of the University. This paid for the east and west sections of the stadium. In 1925 and 1927 bonds were issued totaling $225,000. This money was used to extend the stadium farther south, and to complete the curve at the north end.
This is the last payment for the $760,000 memorial stadium started in 1921 in memory of the 129 K. U. students who lost their lives in World War I. The bonds were not due until Dec. 1, 1948.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, has helped to reduce the debt from $113,000 since 1944. He started a program to have people buy war bonds made payable to the University. The bonds were held in trust by the University Endowment association. Mr. Quigley personally raised $25,000.
Large attendance at athletic events have been helpful in reducing the debt. Last year more than 200,000 persons came to the ten football games, and more than 130,000 attended basketball games.
Class Of 1897 Will Meet
About 20 members of the class of 1997 are expected to attend the golden anniversary celebration at commencement this year.

Gold medals will be awarded to the living members of the class at the commencement dinner Monday. June 16, by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. He will review briefly the achievements of each 50-year graduate.
The committee on arrangements has planned a class dinner for Sunday noon, June 15, in the union building. This committee is composed of all class members living in this area.

They are Maude Landis, May Riggs, May Gardner, Louise Wiederann, Dan Spencer, and Alta Stanton.
