S.H. Carpenter of the University of Wisconsin would have been KU's third chancellor, but he arrived in Lawrence on a sweltering summer day in 1874 in the middle of a drought and a grasshopper invasion. He immediately left town and did not even visit the campus. The Board of Regents then hired James Marvin, a professor of mathematics at Allegheny College; the building named for him also honors his son, longtime Dean of Engineering Frank O. Marvin.
