Art School. ANSAS UNIVERSITY is ont- of the youngest of the greater educational cen- ters. After a hard strug- gle for existence under the control ot' diitert-nt churches, it at last came under the management of the State, and on November 2. 1863, thc Governor gave out a proclamatioin de-- claring the institution permanently located at Lawrence, and in thc next year passed a law for its organiza-1 tion. The first Board of Regents was appointed March 2, 1864, and Mix' R. W. Oliver was the flrst Chancellorl ln these early days the University? consisted of but on,e department, that which has since developed into the School of Arts. There were in this department three- chairs, that of Belles-Lettres, Mental and Moral Science, that of Languages, and that of Mathematics and Natural Science. This formed merely a preparatory school, and it was not until the nt-xt year that regular collegiate worli was undertaken. 'I'hen two young women were fitted to enter the Colle- giate Course, and from then on the University was divided into two depart- ments, Preparatory :uid Collegiate. ' lt was not until .1875 that any ililiferent course of instruction was oi'lTered, and then the Normal Department, was opened, but it only existed until 1885. In 1891-2 the Preparatory School was discontinued, and the entire school was reorganized. During this year the Regents divided the University into separate :chools and appointed a. Dean ova-r each. Professor D. H. Robinson was the first Dean of the School of Arts, and he held this position until 1895, the time of his death. Prof. E. Miller was appointed in his place and is now the acting Dean of that school. 'l'l1e Facility in this department has grown 1'rom three members to forty-eight, and the number of students has increased from two to six hundred. There are several scholarships and prizes awarded in the School of Arts. Those open to thc graduates of this school are the D. ll. Rob- Ifl. MILIJIR.
