Throwback Thursday: Potter Lake Skate Edition
January 4th, 2018Each week we’ll be posting a photograph from University Archives that shows a scene from KU’s past. We’ve also scanned more than 34,800 images from KU’s University Archives and made them available online; be sure to check them out!
There’s only light patchy snow on Mount Oread right now, but the cold weather means that Potter Lake is frozen enough for ice skaters.
Ice skating on Potter Lake, 1926. Notice the diving board on the far side.
