KU HISTORY

On Feb. 2, 1904, Chancellor Frank Strong wrote Kansas City landscape architect George Kessler, asking him to help the university prepare a campus plan. The plan for campus, at that point a few buildings around what is now Jayhawk Boulevard with acres of open land on all sides, was so effective it was several decades before another was ordered. Thanks to a grant from the Getty Foundation, university officials are crafting another campus plan, keeping Kessler's plan and others in mind. For more, visit www.kuhistory.com
