The Lied Center of Kansas is named for Ernst M. and Ida K. Lied. They were the parents of Ernst F. Lied, who attended KU from 1923 to 1925 and played on the university's golf team. After his death, his estate established the Lied Foundation Trust, which oversees the performing arts center at KU and a similar one at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
