Throwback Thursday: Jayhawk Travel 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 34,800 images from KU’s University Archives and made them available online; be sure to check them out! Happy Spring Break, Jayhawks! We hope your time off next week is fun and relaxing.
