Danforth Chapel Offers Solitude Amid Clatter of Campus Building
Amid the noise and frenzy surrounding the razing of old Fraser Hall rests a tiny stone building—a KU tradition in itself.
Danforth Chapel, a small vine-covered stone building, nestles among tall trees at the corner of Lilac Lane and Jayhawk Blvd. Within its stone walls it is a quiet place despite the sounds coming from bulldozers outside.
The tiny building was the 19th building on the campus constructed from private funds. The chapel was constructed in 1945 with funds given by the Danforth foundation, friends of the university and student organizations. The initial donation came from William H. Danforth, chairman of the Ralston Purina Co., of St. Louis.
THE STONE FOR the building came from a large stone fence along Highway 40 between Lawrence and Topeka. Leonard Axe,
dean of the school of business from 1947 to 1957, discovered the fence and thought it would be enough to build the chapel.
The University purchased the fence and construction was begun by German prisoners of war.
When finished, the building had red tile floors and dark rafters. The Panhellenic Council later contributed funds for the stained glass windows. The Home Economics club donated a cross and candlesticks for the altar.
A contest was held in 1947 to determine the design for hymn book covers to be used in the chapel. A KU design student, Donald Kane, won.
IN RECENT YEARS, Danforth has become known as the "Marrying Chapel." More than 80 weddings take place in the small chapel each year. Most are performed immediately after final examinations in the spring or during holiday vacations.
During the 1964-65 school year there were 83 weddings. Many of the reservations for the chapel are made six months in advance.
The individuals in the wedding must set up the chapel for the wedding. KU students or graduates are charged a $2.50 fee for the janitor's services. Non-students must pay $5.00.
THOUGH WEDDINGS are the most frequent services in the chapel, it is often used for memorial services, baptisms and special religious observances.
Danforth will be surrounded by activity for at least another year as construction of new Fraser Hall, directly behind it, proceeds. It's quiet, meditative aura will continue to guide to it KU students in search of beauty and peacefulness.
