Throwback Thursday: Puppy Dog Edition

August 25th, 2016

Each week we’ll be posting a photograph from University Archives that shows a scene from KU’s past. We’ve also scanned more than 28,000 images from KU’s University Archives and made them available online; be sure to check them out!

We hope this week’s photo helps inspire you to celebrate National Dog Day tomorrow!
