Trade Review
A nicely organized and wonderfully illustrated history that covers the school's first one hundred years, starting with its humble beginnings as Kansas State Manual Training School Auxiliary in 1903. Brief but thoughtful essays introduce each of the ten chapters, which together contain nearly four hundred carefully selected photographs and informative captions.... A handsome book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of higher education, whether or not they have a personal connection to this particular Kansas academy. Virgil W. Dean, director for publications, Kansas State Historical Society, and editor of Kansas History
