The Story of a University THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas must provide a moral and intellectual climate in which men are free to continue their search for truth. Nothing is more certain in this life than change. Society, like man, never stands still. It moves forward or it moves back. The status quo exists only as a phrase in the dictionary. These were the words of Chancellor Murphy at his inaugural address four and one half years ago. And so it is today. The element of change is definitely in a pro- gressive direction. The present building program, initiated by Chancellor Malott and developed so well under the guidance of Chancellor Murphy, is a sign of the dynamic vitality of the University. Today ' s senior can look back and remember the anticipated completion of the remodeling and addition to the Student Union and the beginning of and the setbacks which occurred in the build- ing of the new science building, now Malott Hall. To him there is a realization that the University is growing in physical plant. The long awaited field house became a reality, and of even more interest to the students was and is the surge of new student housing. First came North College, the first increase in student housing by the Uni- versity since the War. Rapidly following in its wake were the Scholarship halls, Stephenson, Pearson, and Sellards. Then came Grace Pearson and Douthart. And this year, Gertrude Sellards Pearson offers new housing units for upper class women as well as additional freshman wom- en housing; and Carruth and O ' Leary, the first men ' s dormitories, were opened. When today ' s freshman becomes a senior, he will find equally as many or more additions to the campus horizon. Currently Bailey Hall is be- ing completely reconstructed and will soon serve as the home of the School of Education. Already under way is the new Fine Arts building, and financial arrangements are currently under con- sideration for building a structure to house the School of Business and the Department of Eco- nomics. By spring, another men ' s dormitory should be well underway and plans have been started for married students housing. Other future improvements call for adding a wing to Watkins hospital and a new building to house part of the School of Engineering. This is a segment of the story of the Univer- sity past,.present and future. But there is more to the story of a University than just the build- ings which stand to serve it. There are also the story of the people who serve the University, and the story of the people who attend the Univer- sity, to consider. These also change, more rapidly perhaps than the physical structure, but never- theless, they are still as integral a part of the Uni- versity as Strong or Fraser Halls. In the following pages you will find the 1956 story of the University of Kansas—its growth, as well as its schools, its government, its facilities and its fun. You will find yourself an integral part of this story as a member of the University family, growing with the University. For the seniors counting their last days in the halls and walks of the University as undergradu- ates, and the freshmen just beginning life at the University, this is your record for 1956. Now, on with the story.
