Throwback Thursday: Kansas Relays 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!
The 91st Kansas Relays began yesterday and will be underway through Saturday. Are you attending any of the events?
