TOPONYMS

The first residence hall built at KU, the English Colonial-style Corbin Hall opened in 1923 to house 115 women students. It was named — despite her protests — for Alberta Corbin, an 1893 alumna and professor of German who was the first university "adviser of women." In 1951 "South Corbin" was supplemented by "North Corbin"; the buildings were connected in 1958. Corbin adjoins the site of the first university building, North College, which opened in September 1866.
