Nearly 450 images depict the growth and changes that took the University of Kansas from a small collection of buildings on a treeless hill to the major educational center it is today. Revised and updated, this edition includes 30 new photographs and a new chapter to bring the university's history into the twenty-first century. It captures both everyday and extraordinary events - from orchestra concerts and anatomy labs to war protests and basketball championships and provides an insightful and nostalgic journey for all whose lives have been touched by the University of Kansas."--BOOK JACKET.Adams, Virginia is the author of 'On the Hill A Photographic History of the University of Kansas, Third Edition, Revised', published 2007 under ISBN 9780700615278 and ISBN 070061527X.
