12 RpcKCHafKChant by Gina Thornburg Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, KU... Historically known as the greatest college chant that Teddy Roosevelt ever heard. The University of Kansas' Science Club adopted the chant in 1886. The chant started as E.H.S. Bailey, chemistry professor, and other associates were returning from a conference by train and decided the University needed a rousing yell. The rhythm of the train wheels on the tracks gave the chant its rhythm and started as Rah, Rah, Iayhawk, KU. An English professor later requested the Rahs be replaced with Rock Chalk, in honor of the chalk rock found on Mt. Oread. The chant was used by Kansas troops in World War Il, and at the 1920 Olympic games when the King of Belgium asked the American team for a typical American college yell. As a more common tradition, the Chant could be heard at almost any sporting event and was known by almost every student. Al- though, getting the hand motions right was the tricky part.
