KU HISTORY:

Daylight saving time recently extended the hours of sunshine on Mount Oread, but not even setting the clocks ahead would have helped on March 20, 1935. That day, the worst dust storm to ever hit Lawrence rolled in, blocking out the sun and making it appear dark at 2 p.m. Photographs from the time show old Fraser Hall as barely visible from Bailey Hall, only about a block away.
