The foundation of Fairmount College
Abstract
It is my opinion that few people of this vicinity
know of the great struggle and courageous sacrifices made
by the founders of Fairmount College, now the University
of Wichita. Thus far some material has been collected,
but very little has been done toward the compilation of
this work. It has, therefore, been my purpose to write
about the beginning of Fairmount College. I believe that
the story of Fairmount should be preserved, and in this
work, I have made a beginning by writing the history of
the school to the year 1907. This period includes the
plans for starting the school, erecting a building, and
the administration of Dr. N. J . Morrison, the first college
president.
