Wichita's Struggle Parallels KU Effort
Controversy and hardships preceded the establishment of a state university for the city of Lawrence.
Wichita University's present struggle for state school status parallels a similar KU effort 100 years ago.
THE WYANDOTTE Constitution, Kansas' constitution, included a provision for a state university. The legislature later chose Manhattan as the site for the state's institution of higher education.
Emporia also entered the fight for a state university. Debate on the university's location was heated and at times got out of control.
Charles Robinson, first Kansas governor and a resident of Lawrence, vetoeed the bill and an attempt to locate a university here started exactly 100 years ago.
By a single vote, Lawrence was finally picked as the school site.
LAWRENCE founders planned from the first to include an institution of higher learning. When the founders met to select a name for their community, education was a discussion topic.
Someone mentioned that Amos A. Lawrence would give a considerable sum toward the establishment of
KU Historian To Go East for Asian Meet
Grant K. Goodman, visiting associate professor of history, will be in Philadelphia March 26 to present an original paper at a meeting of Asian specialists.
Another paper by the KU historian, "Davnakouo? Japan in Philippine Politics—1931-1941," will be published later this year by the University of Nebraska Press. It will appear in a collection, "Studies on Asia—1963."
university if the community was named after him.
Prof. Goodman, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, joined the KU faculty last fall. He was a Fulbright lecturer at the University of the Philippines, 1959-1960, and has studied at Leiden University in the Netherlands from 1952-53.
Lawrence fulfilled his promise, giving $10,000 for the "Free State College" and the town donated ground. Presbyterians built a foundation for a building in 1859.
Prof. Goodman's paper, entitled "The Japanese Occupation of the Philippines Was a Success," will be given as part of a panel at the 15th annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies. March 25-27.
BUSHED?
THESE EFFORTS, however, failed because of a lack of financial support and the same fate met the later efforts of the Baptists, Congregationalists and Episcopalians.
STAY AWAKE TAKE
Once Kansas became a state and Gov. Robinson secured Lawrence as the site for a state university, businessmen pledged $15,000 and land toward the construction of the university as requested by the legislature.
The businessmen were released from their pledge when Quantrill's raiders burned much of the city and killed an estimated 160 people on Aug.20,1863.
North College, KU's first building opened Sept. 12, 1866, with 55 students and three faculty members.
THE PROPOSAL that the university be permanently established here became law in November, 1863.

the dress casual fashion that made Winthrop today's style leader
The subject for discussion, gentlemen, is what hand-sewn detailing means. On Winthrop dress casuals, specifically! It represents a luxury look, greater seam flexibility, and skilled workmanship. And perhaps most important gentlemen, it indicates style leadership. Winthrop hand-sewn fronts are wardrobe coordinated for dress casual and casual wear.
