KU history rich, varied
by Dan Schauer
On Jawahy Boulevard, 1990. KU students have to keep a sharp eye on the traffic when they walk to class so as not to get run over. In 1866, KU students were stepping around grazing cattle on old Hogback Ridge, where a single building housed what was more of a prep academy than a college.
The University of Kansas is rich in history, and although most of the sprawling campus may have shallower roots, Mount Oread also can point to several landmarks and buildings that trace back to the beginnings of the school.
With a faculty of three professors and a lecturer on hygiene, the University opened on Sept. 12, 1966. Near what is now Corbion Hall, there are two classes of mostly preparatory classes since most of the 55 students were not at the college level of study. KU was the third state university in the country to adopt a co-educational admissions policy, however Of the 55 students admitted
1873 saw two first forks for KU. One was the first commencement; four students graduated. Also in 1873, KU's first fraternity was formed. In 1874 a formidable form was *Pi Beta Phi*. In the early years of the University, the Greeks didn't have houses to reside in, and they sometimes had to rent space in downtown Lawrence buildings and shops to hold meetings and conduct
The school building used in 1866, referred to as "Old North," hasn't survived KU's long expansion, but several buildings are still here from the latter 19th century.
To house more students and classrooms, University Hall was built when John Fraser
Another part of KU's long history is football. Memorial Stadium is the first campus facility of its kind to have been built west of the Mississippi and was a model for many other schools, including Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. Although Kansas' and Oklahoma's universities pressed quite differently, there was a time when KU football was a national power.
became chancellor in 1867. University Hall was renamed Fraser Hall in honor of the chancellor who led KU until 1874. The building itself lasted until Chancellor Clarke Wescoe's vigorous construction campaign of the 1960s when a new Fraser Hall, the one that is so identifiable today, was built.
Wescoe came under heated criticism for his handling of the wide-spread building boom of that decade, especially for Fraser's replacement. The school of architecture led protests against razing old Fraser and was disgusted with the design of new Fraser. Critics likened it to a penitentiary with a narrow ceiling, so buildings that are named after old KU buildings are Blake, Snow, Robinson, Green and Haworth.
From 1953-57, Kansas football went 11-26. The school's administration, led by Wescos, made a determined effort to mold the program into a leading athletic team when, at the time, the importance of college football at KU was being questioned. Wescos left no question that he wanted a winner. KU's first football game in 1890 was a 92-2 loss to Baker, and decision-makers at Kansas looked to begin a new tradition.
In 1937 Kansas hired, for a $150,000 salary,
John Mitchell as head coach. His objectives,
including teaching the skills of the
