Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 5, 1908: “Tensions continue to grow between freshmen and sophomores at the university. The sophomores have set up a list of regulations they want the freshmen to follow and the freshmen are refusing to accept the manifesto. They say they want nothing to do with the ‘sophomore commandments.’ There has been physical violence and officials say they will have to crack down hard on anyone else involved in such. : County treasurer Joe Eddy today said the total cost for the recent primary elections was $1,404, including printing and elections supplies. : The Canadian game of lacrosse is becoming popular with students here and some are trying to arrange a schedule for a KU team. : State bank deposits are the greatest they ever have been and some $100,000 a day is coming in across Kansas after fears of a recent ‘panic’ in the East have ended. The fear did not affect Kansas for long and other banks in other states are also experiencing a new rush in deposits.”
