Old home town – 100 years ago today

From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 17, 1906: “Registration at Kansas University reached 1,178 this morning and the line at the registration office still reached out into the hall. The fall total is sure to surpass 1,200 by the end of the day. Classes met for the first time this morning and enrollment has been under way at the medical facility in Rosedale, as well. : Terrorists have threatened to kill the heads of state in Poland and we can see the need for Europe to be united against insurgents dedicated to violence and overthrow. : The Lawrence YMCA drive for new members has not passed the 500 mark and in six days some 120 new members were brought in.”
