It was originally Garfield University and was only in existance for 3 or 4 years. The University was shut down and later purchased by the Society of Friends in 1898, well after slavery was abolished in the United States, and renamed Friends University. While it has a rich Quaker heritage, Friends U is technically a non denominational Christian University now. <br />There are a few stops in the Underground Railroad in the northeastern parts of KS (mostly to get slaves out of our reluctant slave state, tiger loving, neighbor to the east, Missouri). However KS was not totally a safe territory because of the disputes regarding its entry into the Union as a Free or Slave state.Darhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189332154104915708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-44079081625540996282009-08-26T16:21:49.998-05:002009-08-26T16:21:49.998-05:00Joe,

But you asked, so here's the deal.<br />I have done 2 posts entirely from the phone, but they are text only. I can get to the dashboard from the phone but the edit box is cumbersome if I try pictures, so I don't bother.<br />But generally, other posts are done where I write the text on the phone, e mail it to the office and combine pictures and text at the office where the dashboard is easier to deal with.<br />Everytime I send an email from the phone that little message appears at the end of the e mail, and I generally do not bother with editing it out.<br />I don't edit it out because I think it makes me look cool (which I am not), but also to see if anyone will take the bait and ask me about it.<br />Congratulations! You are the first to ask me about that and that qualifies you for something, but don't ask me what because I don't know.

LOL<br />But I actually respect that kind of attitude toward life and it makes things more fun. On my next post you will see something I have done for fun that a lot of people consider quite crazy.<br />Teaching is fun, too. I have had some classes where I have made really good connections with the students. Others that it seems no matter what I tried, things did not work as well. But at least I try and get them to learn and make them think on their own.<br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-4386565989166440932009-08-26T09:07:55.167-05:002009-08-26T09:07:55.167-05:00There were some squirrels looking for me the other...There were some squirrels looking for me the other day. They said they'd heard I was "nuts". Who can argue?<br /><br />That is certainly a beautiful campus, as Lance has already commented. I could wander around soaking up the atmosphere all day.

The northeast part of the state is a little older (KC, Topeka, Lawrence and Atchison areas). There may be some around there, but I admit to not knowing a lot about that history.<br />But Kansas has a very interesting history concerning the start of the Civil War. I have actually composed a blog post about that, but am waiting for Halloween to post it, and yes there is a reason for that. So stay tuned.<br />Thanks for stopping by and Take Carecpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-27374627418923470422009-08-25T12:40:15.330-05:002009-08-25T12:40:15.330-05:00Loved the pics!

With the Quaker founding of the college, I wonder... are there any Underground Railroad stations in the area as there often were when Quakers were present and acted on their anti-slavery beliefs?<br /><br />It is rumored that the squirrels on the campus of the University of Chicago read Hegel. <br /><br />Nice post!Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-48211415586082469302009-08-25T08:45:32.282-05:002009-08-25T08:45:32.282-05:00Bobskoot,
