Public manager program lauded

Kansas Secretary of Administration Duane Goossen and Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Richard Lariviere addressed participants from KU's Certified Public Manager program and their guests during a reception in Liberal on Sept. 26. The Public Management Center, a unit of Continuing Education, is again offering the year-long CPM program in southwest Kansas for local, state and federal workers. The monthly class rotates among sites in Liberal, Dodge City and Garden City to accommodate area students. Since the Certified Public Manager program was established in 1993, more than 800 public managers have received this nationally recognized credential.

E.H.S. Bailey was the only professor for the chemistry and pharmacy departments' 35 students when KU opened its first Chemistry Hall in 1883. By the end of the 1890s, the facility was too small and outdated, and a larger, more modern hall was built of Oread limestone, opening in 1900. Bailey was chief chemist for the Kansas State Board of Health and the state Geological Survey. “Bailey's barn” was officially named in his honor in 1938, five years after his death.
