Kansas Chapter

Housemother Judy Carpenter Shares DU History with New Members
W
e are into another excellent year. While there is abundant playfulness in this crowd, there
is also much evidence of serious studying and ambition. From what some of the more
senior alumni have told me about Kansas DU as they knew it, today's guys are continuing in
the essence of that tradition.
Friends of Tom Rinehart '57 gather
for the dedication of the Thomas H.
Rinehart Educational Wing.
I did a couple of things with the new members that may interest you. The first involved
Lawrence history: we started by discussing the origin of the Border Wars as shown in the
picture of Quantrill's Irregulars being chased by Union Army Jayhawkers, which Pat Bolen
'58 gave the Chapter a few years ago. Then we went to the cemeteries on the east side of
Lawrence to visit the graves of Quantrill's 200+ victims and the graves of James Naismith
and Phog Allen.
