From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 23, 1906: “Dean Skilton of the KU school of fine arts announced that the committee on university songs will give three prizes for the words of representative university songs to be submitted by April 1. : After the Democratic banquet in Topeka last night a definite movement was started to secure for J.W. Green, dean of the university law school, the Democratic nomination for governor. A plan is being formulated with that goal in mind.”
