THE DREAM BEGAN The AThens of America was The dream of The growing young gianT of WichiTa in The mid- dle l88O's. Here was a ciTy wiTh growing shops and facTories, The firsT elecTric sTreeT cars and men and women wiTh The spiriT To build. CulTure was needed, so why noT build colleges To pro- vide This need? Colleges were builT, opened for sTudenTs, and Then died quick deaThs. The c'iTy foughT To geT colleges To locaTe here and gave Tremendousmewards To Those who did, buT all of This was To no avail. Among The colleges which sprung up was Garfield Universify named afTer PresidenT Gar- field, buT iT, Too, died a quick deaTh afTer only a couple of years of exisTence. However, before iT closed, a huge building on The wesT side of WichiTa was begun. A sTory is Told ofa man by The name of James M. Davis who visiTed The building one day in l897. He had a dream and hoped ThaT maybe This building offered by Garfield UniversiTy would make This dream come True. IT was early in The morning when he arrived on The campus, The firsT rays of lighT were iusT beginning To reach The building and To awaken iT. He frighTened The sleeping birds and himself as The raTs hurried by. However, he did noT see The debris, The barren campus, or hear The whir of The birds' wings. His mind was far away inTo The fuTure, he saw a Tree shaded cam- pus surrounding The large building which was ringing wiTh The voices of young men and women hurrying To classes. Yes, maybe This building could help The wealThy Quaker wiTh his dream of founding a universiTy for The working sTudenT. On May 3, l898, aT a special meeTing of The Kansas Yearly MeeTing of Friends, James lvi. Davis presenTed Friends LJniversiTy To The Yearly lVleeTing, and iT accepted The responsibiliTy. James Nl. Davis' dream was a realiTy and now if has come Time for oThers, YOU AND ME, To dream, 2
