Royalty came to our campus yesterday, seen no doubt by hundreds of students, but only as a charming woman. A princess to look upon, every surely agreed; her olive skin, the polished sheen of silver, let only an impression of charm, but a real princess—they never dreamed of that.

When this was printed, he made a comment that the old, but 60 years ago this fall it was decidedely new. Its 12 classrooms, four on each floor, probably were pointed to then by residents of Kansas with as much pride as Jayhawkers today point to the Administrators' offices its scores of classrooms and offices.

Official Chancellor's Bulletin
Attending this infant university were 55 students, none of whom were of college grade. It was not until the next year that any regular college student could attend the students of college grade attended.
There are living today a number of men and women who attended K. U. in its first year. One of these, Mrs. Susan D. Afford, was present at the commencement exercises this past spring.
The faculty which taught in North College consisted of R. W. Olver, chancellor, Eliah Jai Rice, David Huntington and Francis Huntington Snow.
North College was christened by Chancellor Lippincott about 1888. Previous to that time it had been known simply as "the University." Later, as the present site was developed, it became part of the University" and today little trace of it remains on the hill back of Corbin hall where it stood.
Ted Eeliger, ex '28, is now employed as city editor on the Concordia Blade Empire. During the summer he was a reporter on the Lawrence Journal newspaper and has written for such authors' Club, and a former student in the department of journalism.

The eternal question, isn't it?
"What'll I wear?"
And, since it's impossible to have a new gown for every occasion, why need the next best thing and let us keep our gowns always looking like new?
Skillful, careful work at a price that's moderate indeed. And every gown that we return gives you one more good answer to that eternal question every woman so often asks.
