"In these later days," he said, "the world has been overborne by the monster of unbridled force. A storm still more dire for our civil war has swept over us. And the mangled world will save itself only by getting together: conciliation and co-operation—the lessons of all history."

Only a mound of broken stone and crushed plastering now marks the site where the first classes of the University of Kansas hold Abe's bask in the month of September, 1866, these fragments of brick and plastering were performing a much more useful service, for it was this year that the first state institution of higher learning was completed in Kansas. In 1856 this ten-acre tract was selected by Amos A. Lawrence in whose honor the town of Lawrence was named, as a site for a state school. This building is still an important monument to perpetuity the memory of the martyrs of liberty who fell" during the early struggles in Kansas.

In 1859 plans were started to establish a college under the auspices of the Presbyterian church, but the plan did not materialize. Then the Congregationalists made plans to establish a college and by using gifts from various donors establish a college on this site. But the drought of 1863 prevented the development of this plan, and in 1863 the Congregationalists found a college at the Episcopalans took up the project but due to lack of funds and the war, they also hadto drop the plan. Next the city of Lawrence took a try and in August, 1863 the mayor of Lawn, in the name of the city, However, Quantrell's raid prevented any work on the erecting of the building.
At last, in September 1865, after many complications of loans and funds, the tract was granted to the University and a year from that time a library was erected, crowned the top of Mount Oread. The building fifty feet square and three
stories high was a "a stern uncompromising structure" standing in the middle of the barren, wind-swept tract of ground. Nor was the outlook from the hill much more cheerful. The residences were not so numerous then as now. The valley lay on three the hill and to the south stretched upward. An entrance opened into the building; one on the south and one on the north.
the first year was fifty-five-twenty six young ladies and twenty-nine young gentlemen. However twenty- remained until the close of the year.
It was through these entrances that the pretty maidens of 1864, clad in their picturequee crinoline dresses, used to pass on their way to classes. It was more difficult to climb the hill in those earlier days when side walks were too great a luxury. The wind was usually blowing hard across the

But no one would get dressed in a humorous amourid lad, clad in all probability in blue jeans, with a goodly sprinkling of patches, feet encased in cowhide boots aided the distressed young maiden up the slippery slope. In rain weather the girls were big and tall, but when the sun came out cold weather, shawls or heavy cloaks. Their hats, which they were never without if out of doors, were little round affairs of black velvet worn low on the forehead. The girls were just as sweet and attractive then and now, but the girls they had just as much fun. There were sleigh rides in winter and lots of nice parties; "cookie shines" and "muffin worries"; old General Fraser was called to have them. The first faculty of the university offered diploma in "tall dignified president Rice, earnest young Professor Robinson and boyish Professor Snow." The enrollment for
But the time came when the University grew too small to hold the students. Changes were made in the faculty and new members added. Then General Fraser became chancellor of the University and President of the faculty, the first man to hold this joint position. To him fell the problem of building a place to accommodate the increasing enrollment. This was occupied by classes. From this building now known as Fraser Hall time on the "University" was known as North College, and its usefulness began to decrease. It gradually became a disgrace to the University and was at last condemned as unsafe for occupancy. On January 20, 1916, the Fine Arts department moved out and Old North College stood

Now it is fast becoming a memory. After the little tank finished the destruction of the remaining walls, last spring only a mound of broken stones and plastering remains to mark the site where the first building of the University of Kansas so proudly unveiled its new campus. The memory of this old building is not doomed to fade from the memory of the coming generations. Plans have been made by the Loyalty Committee to make this site a permanent landmark and a source of traditions. -It is to become the permanent rallying ground for the University. Here all the big pop ralliesie are to be held and the bonfires lighted. Here also the campuses will have large rock piles; to be known絮絮es the Rock Chalk Pyre and the Rock Chalk Cairn. The former is to be used for athletic victories and the latter as a permanent land mark to mark the progress of K. U. In each pile a stone is to be added for each notable event to be celebrated. The exact shape these piles will take has not yet been decided, but the archi\-city workers are working on the problem and hoping to plan to submit soon. Thus by establishing a permanent there is no chance that the memory of Old North College will fail, and
