Kansas

There’s no place like Kansas. From the championship tradition of Wichita State baseball to the terror of a twister slashing through Tornado Alley and the unflinching witness of a prairie fort, our Kansas history books bring home the unconventional heritage of the Sunflower State. Set out a rocking chair in Emporia, the “Front Porch to the Flint Hills,” or drill into the legacy of the El Dorado Oil Boom. A Topeka Harvey House, a Salina lecture hall and a Kansas City B-25 factory swirl together in our catalogue’s intriguing mix of Kansas history.

On February 15, 1865, eighteen anxious students gathered on the second floor of a stone building belonging to School District No. 1 of Lyon County to begin their quest for learning at the Kansas State Normal School. It was less than two years after Gov. Thomas Carney signed the bill creating what has become one of the most renowned teacher education universities in the nation. Despite economic setbacks and the loss of the main building to fire in the 1870s, the normal school attracted students from every county within the state. By the end of 1892, the board of regents reported that the Kansas State Normal School was the largest in the nation. In 1923, the school's name was changed to Kansas State Teachers College, recognizing its importance in teacher education. Today, Emporia State University continues to offer outstanding academic programs and an energetic campus environment that has been changing lives since that day in 1865.

Southwestern College is located in Winfield, Kansas, on a prominence that overlooks the Walnut River Valley. Determined to bring education to the plains of Kansas, Methodist leaders founded the college in 1885. These early pioneers and their successors built beyond their dreams, creating a strong, unique, and vital institution that has produced close to 25,000 Moundbuilders across the globe. Today, that Moundbuilder tradition educates thousands of students at the main Winfield campus and online.
