From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 15, 1909: The university has solved the problem of complying with the new order of the state board of health in regard to banning public drinking cups. Five sanitary fountains will be installed and slot machines will contain sanitary paper drinking cups which may be obtained by slipping a nickel in the slot. In this way, those who object to drinking from the free-flowing fountains can have their cups to use, at the time and later if they choose.
