The Building of the University of Kansas - 1931 to 1951

Abstract

The following record of the building at the University at Lawrence, Kansas, is an attempt to bring up to date the Master’s Thesis of James Howard Compton. His work, which contains a short history of the founding of the University, is primarily concerned with the building of the campus from its origin to the summer of 1931. The individual buildings are described in a series of accounts containing specific information as to cost, style, material, construction, architect, and contractor.
