Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for May 15, 1909: “Contracts have been closed for construction of five new, modern houses to be erected in Breezedale, a new plot of ground to be opened up by Charles Sutton, at the south end of Massachusetts Street. The new addition is to contain 112 lots and is to be divided by three wide avenues named Winona, Pawnee, and nearest the Haskell Indian school, Indian. … The girls of the university met today and adopted a constitution along the line of Pan-Hellenic Rules, to promote high standards for academics, living and general welfare of women at the university. Chancellor Strong presided.”
