History

[edit]
Main article:History of the University of Kansas

On February 20, 1863, Kansas GovernorThomas Carneysigned into law a bill creating the state university in Lawrence.[19]The law was conditioned upon a gift from Lawrence of a $15,000 endowment fund and a site for the university, in or near the town, of not less than forty acres (16 hectares) of land.[20]If Lawrence failed to meet these conditions,Emporiainstead of Lawrence would get the university.

The site selected for the university was a hill known as Hogback Ridge (later known asMount Oread), which was privately donated byCharles L. Robinson,the Republican governor of the state of Kansas from 1861 to 1863, and one of the original settlers of Lawrence, Kansas. Robinson and his wife Sara bestowed the 40-acre (16 ha) site to the State of Kansas in exchange for land elsewhere.[20]The philanthropistAmos Adams Lawrencedonated $10,000 of the necessary endowment fund, and the citizens of Lawrence raised the remaining money themselves via private donations.[20]On November 2, 1863, Governor Carney announced Lawrence had met the conditions to get into the state university, and the following year the university was officially organized.[15] The school's Board of Regents held its first meeting in March 1865, which is the event that KU dates its founding from.[2][21]Work on the first college building began later that year.[15]The school opened for classes on September 12, 1866, and the first class graduated in 1873.[15]According to William L. Burdick, the first degree awarded by the university was aDoctor of Divinity,bestowed upon noted abolitionist preacherRichard Cordley.[22]

During World War II, Kansas was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in theV-12 Navy College Training Program,which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[23]
