In order to fit the nine-story parking deck, construction crews had to blast through thick layers of rock. For the many months of construction, the disturbing blasts were heard and felt by students and faculty in Kimpel and the Business Administration Building.

The large, yellow crane used for constructing the nine- story parking deck was a stand¬ out feature on campus for the months until the deck was completed. Upon completion in summer 2005, the deck became the largest in Arkansas with nearly 2,000 spaces. PHOTOBYNATALIEANDERSON 020021 CAMPUSLIFE

Historic Hindsight A Look Back at a Dozen Decades in the Kazorback NATALI EANDERSON 1884 884- 1887, Colonel George Matthews Edgar was proud to report to the Board of Trustees that “the sexes were prohibit¬ ed from communicating with each other without permission, both during study hours and the hours of intermission.” In 1874, U of A President A. W Bishop said in his inaugural address, “There was nothing to start from but a farm house and one hundred and sixty acres of land, a hill side surpassingly beautiful indeed, a location the finest in the State, but the soil alone to build upon.” Ten years later, the most strict president yet, Colonel Edgar, was elected during a tumultuous time. Despite the 42 faculty meetings Edgar held during the first semester and the many regulations he imposed, a resolu¬ tion calling for a reorganization of the University led to the replacement of the entire faculty with those chosen “sight unseen” based upon on their application building was constructed at a cost of $2,21 9 after a jump in enrollment caused University administrators to expand the growing campus. 1894 Arkansas’ first football team of I I athletes was organized during this decade with John C. Futrall as manager and coach. Dr. Futrall served for 19 years as either chairman of the athletic committee or as manager of the team. At the age of 62, former Confederate offi¬ cer Dr. John L. Buchanan became President of the University in 1894. Buchanan recommended to the Board of Trustees that the name of the Arkansas Industrial University be changed to the University of Arkansas. Not only was the summer vacation restored under his administration, but several activities, including publications and athletics, were begun or strenghtened. Under his admin- stration the Board of Trustees apporpriat- ed $ 15 0 for the creation of the first year¬ book, The Cardinal. The publication name was changed to the Razorback in 1916. In 1894 beloved associated profes¬ sor of English and modern languages Miss Ella Harrison Carnall died. A dormatory for women, now a bed and breakfast, was built in 1902 and named in her honor. An old etching shows how much the University of Arkansas has changed and grown over the years. Old Main, then University Hall, is the only building that still remains. 1904 courses offered today was this class in bodily expression taught as a recreation¬ al study for coeds. Early in this decade. Dr. Henry Simms Hartzog was elected President, at a salary of $ 3 , 000 , and was the only man in this position to have been educated for the ministry at simenary. The election of Dr. Hartzog coincided with the abolition of fraternities from campus. Because of the new law, no Greek letters appeared in the 1904 Razorback ; however, when Greek organizations were again published in the yearbooks, member names in non-Greek clubs during the time of the anti-fraterni¬ ty law “bears a striking resemblance.” In 1907 the faculty established a rule that allowed initiation into a fraternity after a student completed 15 credit hours. During these early days of the University, “Religious services are held every morn¬ ing and evening in the Chapel. All stu¬ dents are required to attend these exercis¬ es; and also to attend the Bible Class, the exercises of which are held in the Chapel on Sunday” in addition to attending church “at least once on the Sabbath. to seat the population. iHI mm 022023 CAMPUSLIFE
