Excerpt from Quarter-Centennial History of the University of Kansas, 1866-1891
This day makes a landmark in the history of this University. Her sons and her daughters have gathered from far and from near to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of her birth. A quarter of a century has elapsed since she first opened her hospitable doors and invited the youth from all parts of this broad State to enter and receive a college education almost without money and without price. The marvel is that so early in the hard and troubled life of this State the institution was prepared to make this generous offer. Kansas had been born into statehood five years before, only after throes of violence which shook the whole nation to its extremities.
