Pictures, Relics Tell Lawrence's History
Have you ever wanted to take a trip into history through the days when pioneer settlers were pushing west in covered wagons, braving Indian attacks and blazing new frontiers?
If so, and if you possess a little imagination, you can take just that trip in Room 401 of Watson Library. This is the Lawrence Room, established by Miss Carrie Watson, librarian at the University from 1877 to 1921, for whom the present library was named in 1923.
The room needs little explanation. It tells its own exciting story to an interested observer. It tells the story of this thriving Douglas County seat which had a colorful beginning in the midst of the nation's struggle against slavery.
The arrangement of the room has been aimed at telling the story of that early time with pictures.
The story begins with a large oil painting in a gilt frame of Amos A. Lawrence, the man for whom the city was named.
There are pictures and personal belongings of such men as Senator E. G. Ross, who cast the deciding vote in Congress against President Andrew Johnson's impeachment; John Brown; Quantrill, the raider who with his men in 1863 plundered
the town and killed nearly 140 persons; Senator Jim Lane, who was instrumental in bringing the Union Pacific Railroad to Lawrence, and Dr. Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas.
A bust of Governor Robinson is also in the room. It was purchased for the University by an act of the state legislature in 1897. Its cost was $1,000.
A call bell and an old chair are the only things left from Lawrence's first hotel, which was burned in Quantrill's raid. A print from an old issue of Harper's Weekly depicts the destruction of Lawrence.
One relic that always draws a lot of attention is the broken, battle-weary cannon, Old Sacramento. If cannons were able to talk it could describe several wars.
Cast from bells from a Mexican church, the cannon was originally used in the battery of a Mexican fortification known as Sacramento. It was captured during the Mexican War by American forces and taken to Liberty, Mo., where it was taken by pro-slavery forces and eventually brought to Lawrence.

Best Work Of Art Camp On Display In Union Lounge
The best work from the art division of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp is on display in the south lounge of the Kansas Union.
Each weekend the best of that week's work will be put on display and will remain there until the next weekend, thus making a continuous art exhibit.
Beginning July 19, the best work of the entire summer will be shown. Most of the students will have at
least one piece of work in this exhibit. The outstanding art campers are also selected at this time and they will probably each have several pieces of work from different art courses on display.
Only paintings will be on display at the beginning of the summer. However, as students finish their work in pottery, sculpture, jewelry and weaving, samples of this work will also be displayed.
