THE ROOF IS NOT ON FIRE: KU has a University Fire Marshal Authority, which sets policies to reduce risk of fire for faculty, staff and students and works to protect the campus. The authority's policies, code requirements and testing standards, along with fire safety tips, a safety handbook and fire facts are all available on the Web site.

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.
