FOREWORD We pass no judgment on this book, hence make no apologies for its existence. Yours is the task of judging-and apologizing. Should anyone happen on a good apology, please communicate it to the editors at once, if you can find their address. We will perhaps not be in town for the next few days. We prefer the railroad to the rail-ride, and besides, under- stand that black is not to be the prevailing thing in summer costumes. Then, too, we withdraw out of consideration for our Alma M ater,' for there are but few good marksmen among the students and Faculty, and the window- lass Freshmen and other bric-a-brac might be costly to replace. 6' f 1 1903 jayhawker Too often centennial celebrations, yearbooks, and particularly combinations of the two become mere obituaries of the past. It is fitting, therefore, that the theme of the University Centennial is UMan and the Future. With this in mind, the 1966 Jayhawker endeavors to present the story of KU's 100th year by utilizing selected fragments of the University's history for perspective rather than theme.

Their destination wasa high-ceilinged, two-story building that seemed lonely. and out of placeiatop the, .windswept hill. They were the figst class of the University of Kan-. sas. iThis fall' another class-the 100th+made'the trek up Mount Orezid. .They came by plane, train, car, and motor scooter--more than.'13,5OO strong. Another 1,100 enrolled at the KU School of Medicine in Kansas City, a facility undreamed of 1866. . All but six members of thatfirst class were Lawrence residents, a disappointment to an administration -that had advertised across the state in an attempt to attract a diverse student body. In comparison, the' collegians who arrived at the University of Kansas in September came from every state in the nation and more than 80 foreign countries. 6 A ' THE REV!-:REND R. W. OL1vER,,the Episcopal regtoreof Law- rence, was selected by the Board of Regents as the first Chan- cellor of the University of Kansas. He was the Universityis' financial agent and had'no connection 'with the faculty. 1 . O X,
