From the Lawrence Daily World for June 4, 1907: “The university is involved in one of the finest commencement periods in its history and all townspeople should do all they can to help the school, the graduates and the visitors. The new auditorium in the Robinson Gymnasium, with a capacity of 3,000, was overflowing for the baccalaureate. : A proposed removal of the county seat from Jefferson County could result in a large slice of that county being cut off and annexed to Douglas County. That would bring into our county the towns of Perry, Williamstown, Sarcoxie, Thompsonville, Buckcreek, Medina and possibly Grantville. Considerable conflict is seen about this and the county seat issue. “
