Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for March 24, 1907: “Kansas University is trying to keep Missouri University from establishing a medical school in Kansas City. If worst comes to worst, the Jayhawker medics might go after the Tigers with needles and scalpels. : When the city registration books closed last night, 3,010 people were on the voting lists. More than 1,000 women are now included and are qualified to vote this spring. Largest gains were in the west wards and among women, who are being asked to support the $40,000 bond issue for the badly needed new high school addition.”
