PROLOGUE We came from divergent backgrounds and brought our mannerisms, our clothes, and our speech to prove it-most of us represented the face of Kansas - some of us were from the wheat fields in the west-others from the Flint Hills in the east-most of us went to college in the city we lived in and commuted to school-but some of us were from the small towns-places with names like Dodge City, Abilene, Medicine Lodge, and Cimmaron - We came as individuals, eager to be assimi- lated and taught-ready to conform, yet keep our individuality-we read about the outstand- ing schools of the University-the Logopedics Institute, Corbin Education Center, the School of Music, and the many others-we read-the catalogs, the mimeographed papers - and began to decide our future. Why had we come? We Wanted to be engi- neers, teachers, scientists, businessmen-oth- ers just wanted a diploma-some went along for the social aspect-many got free rides-a hand- full Worked our way through-parents sent us -We received scholarships. 6
