Throwback Thursday: Family Weekend Edition
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 1,700 images from KU’s University Archives and made them available online; be sure to check them out!
We selected this week’s picture in honor of Jayhawk Family Weekend, taking place on campus this Saturday and Sunday.
A KU student with his family on Parents Day, 1955. Note the Memorial Campanile
in the background. Lawrence Journal-World Photo Collection, University Archives Photos.
