Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Dec. 17, 1908: “Elaborate plans are being made for the inauguration of W.R. Stubbs of Lawrence as governor. Many ex-governors will take part. There will be a big reception rather than an inaugural ball due to Stubbs’ religious views. … Another mad dog was killed here yesterday and some still are concerned about new cases of hydrophobia. … The annual Christmas concert of the university fine arts people was given last night in Fraser Hall.”
