X. H. Q4 , ,A ti- -le! Q3 .J LONE STAR FRATERNITY HOUSE. gnrpnfo riANUAR Disaster struck the College on December 20, 1899, as fire leveled the main building of Buchtel Col- lege with an estimated loss of 5100.000 This event, along with the depression of 1893 brought the College to the brink of disaster. The proud citizens of Akron re- sponded to the colleges need. The response was great, but unfortu- nately operating funds were at a deficit which led Parke Kolbe and his associates to offer the school to the City of Akron. This trans- action formed the nucleus of a municipal university. z?Re, ICSAID Jdff ff Bww me 'r2f'A.SH .. J , 'I .ll- o,, ,I I 4 a1'2 N J1 fc 1, ,X . if V- Buchfel -Hall fire i899

The municipal university ideal was quite different from that of the denominational college. The citizens of Akron agreed to tax themselves so that they might be provided with a university that would offer a well- rounded course of studies. The University made good by offering such programs in engineering, home economics, and teacher training. However, Parke Kolbe, the University's President, soon ran into difficulty. Because the city was growing rapidly, it was forced to place the University's priority behind street paving, sewers, and many other of the city's basic needs. Adding to the problem was the incredible number of students seeking admission to the University. As a result, the school set up very rigid requirements-so rigid that Akron became one of the most selective schools in the nation. Parke Kolbe HA! V00 XE wRwU9AQA1I0 G AMD New N A T6 m Tan-155 1?
