School of Religion Plans New Home
Page 3
The Kansas School of Religion expects to be housed in a new building by 1965.
Preliminary plans for the new building have been completed and funds are now being collected.
THE REPLACEMENT FOR MYERS HALL-located east of the Kansas Union-will cost the School of Religion about $400,000. Most of this amount will be contributed by the Christian Churches of Kansas.
The school cannot receive money from the state since it is financially separate from the University.
The present site was purchased in 1901 by the Christian Church. It was then a farmhouse on a corner lot at the edge of the campus.
THAT FARMHOUSE was intended to be the seat of religious instruction for the members of the Christian Church who were attending tax-supported KU instead of a church college.
Even though a wing was added to the old farmhouse and a brick front constructed, Myers Hall is basically the old farmhouse today that it was when purchased in 1901.
IN 1921, the Kansas School of Religion was established at Myers Hall. The Christian minister who was in residence at the time became dean of the school.
The present dean, William Moore, is the only full-time teacher in the school. Eight part-time teachers are supplied by other churches.
Although the Christian Church is going to finance the new building, other denominations will provide a full-time staff member to the school and share operation expenses.
International Student Adviser Visits Africa
Dr. Clark Coan, international student adviser and assistant to dean of students, is enroute to Africa on a month's assignment for the African Scholarship Program of the American Universities.
Dean Coan along with Dean of Students Edward Sanders of Pomona College in California will be one of four teams who will screen applications of Africans for scholarships next year in American universities.
Deans Coan and Sanders will visit Northern and Southern Rhodesia. Bechuanaland, Basutoland and Swaziland, and will return March 15.
