TOPONYMS
In September 1939, Deane W. Malott became the first native Kansan and KU alumnus to be named chancellor. In November 1954, the new physics and chemistry building was named for this dynamic and personable leader. The Malott Gateway at 15th and Iowa streets was given in memory of Malott and his wife, Eleanor, who was instrumental in creating the plantings that distinguish the campus. A courtyard near Malott Hall is named in her honor. Both are buried in Pioneer Cemetery.
