KU requests six million for Lawrence campus funds 1977
Kansas University submitted its legislative budget request for fiscal year 1977 to the state division of budget seeking increases totaling about 6 million for Lawrence campus operations. The campus health center Watkins Memorial Hospital earned full accreditation, a status rare among university hospitals. Enrollment records show a fall term tally near 9,751 in 1948 with current Lawrence campus enrollment surpassing 9,800, and as many as 500 more likely by final count. A 1900 note recalls a Galveston disaster aid appeal as the nation reflects on American generosity and resilience.
