Once Homeless Waifs, Now They Own A Fortress
It is hard to imagine a bunch of lawyers being shoved around, but K.U. barristers were in the early history of the school. They were hardly more than homeless waifs as they were pushed from room to room, from building to building, and even completely off the campus.
The law school was organized in 1878 and James W. "Jimmy" Green,
The law school was organized in who had just been elected county attorney, was appointed as its head. No provision was made for paying instructors, so each student chipped in $55 and heard lectures by practicing lawyers who happened to come through Lawrence.
Study 'Pice Gazette'
There were 13 in that first class, and after a brief preliminary training, they were sent to various law offices in town to continue their study. But, an inquisitive reporter found that downtown the future barristers spent most of their time studying such eminent legal journals as Police Gazette and Real Detective and washing windows for the attorneys.
Such an arrangement was unsatisfactory since, in addition to falling plaster and numerous rodents, there was a janitor living in the basement who was overly fond of boiled cabbage and creamed onions. After the lawyers moved back to Fraser—much to the chagrin of the engineers who were then moved into Blake.
After 12 years of being moved from one room to another in Fraser, the lawyers picked up and moved into Old North hall. Old North had been the original university building, located where Corbin now stands.
Onious, Rats Too Much
By this time the law school seemed to have a permanent place on the campus so the administration started requests for a new building.
Finally, in 1903, word was received that the legislature had approved a new law building. Had Crescents In Roof
Then the first Green hall appeared on the campus. As students came up the hill one morning they saw, jauntly perched in front of Fraser, a four-by-four frame building bearing the sign "Green Hall. The new Law building." You know the type of building it was—moonshaped ventilators near the roof, sturdy latches on both sides of the door, and the greater portion of a mail-order catalog protruding from a large crack in the wall.
Ignoring the taunts of watching engineers, the lawyers set fire to the structure and one of them climbed onto the burning shack to deliver a fiery dedicatory speech. Set off, they set fire if hearsed, the lawyers and engineers closed in and a long-lasting feud was started.
Today's Green hall was dedicated in 1905, and nearly 150 lawyers started studying there. By this time four instructors had been hired and requirements for entrance into the school had been raised to a high school diploma. It took three years to complete the law course.
Since that time law students have never been without a home. To penetrate their stronghold has been the dream of many an engineer. Yes, the days of shovling lawyers around are over.
