Davis Administration Building Long a landmark of Wichita, Davis Ad- ministration building was originally the main building of Garfield University. When the college became Friends University, the big, beautiful building was named Da- vis Administration in honor of James and Anna Davis who purchased the property and presented it to the Kansas Yearly Meeting of Friends.
