North College Timbers To Be Used in Making Boat For Use on Kaw
Brick and Stone Salvaged to go Into Construction of Farm Buildings
Timbers used in the construction of old North College, which is now being razed by Charles A. Colvin, a Lawrence contractor, will be used by Mr. Colvin in the construction of a large boat which will be used on the Kaw river.
Destruction of the old building has been under way for more than 60 days, and the contractor is expected to have the building down and the grounds cleared within a month. Stone and brick from the walls have been sold to two farmers living near Linden Heights, an expansion of farm buildings. Mr. Colvin bought the old building this winter for $100.
The walls of the building are still fairly solid except that on the south side of the building, which is in danger of falling. The roof and the floor of the attic or "fourth floor" have been removed, and a start has been made on the destruction of the walls.
The history of North College might be called, "The story of what a town did without money." With a fund of only $10,000 the people of Lawrence and vicinity laid the cornerstone of the present University of Kansas. The building was completed in the summer of 1866, and was first used Sept. 12 of the same year. From then until the completion of Fraser Hall in 1872, this was the home of the University of Kansas.
For a period of about ten years the building was occupied by some men students who kept it in repair. Then the state wanted a building for the state home for imbacable children. A few years later the School of Law outgrew its limited bounds and it was moved there. When the laws moved into their new home in Green Hall a part of the School of Fine Arts occupied the building until Nov. 16, 1916.
A great deal of interest is being manifested in the finding of the corner stone which will probably be uncovered in a few days.

Candy is not under the food ban—the Food Administration recognizes candy as a food, but it suggests that you select those kinds that contain the least amount of sugar. Chocolate dipped nuts, jelly candies, marshmallows and nut candies are a few varieties approved by Mr. Hoover. All of these and others, you'll find at Wiedemann's—Adv.
