Arts & Kyle Reynolds, senior in public relations, and Javier Lopez, junior in history, co-chaired K-State Sciences Proud this past year. An entirely student-run organization, K-State Proud is making a name for itself across the country as a students model for student philanthropy. As far as Reynolds and Lopez are concerned, K-State Proud is just one of the ways that the demonstrate university and its students can live up to the legacy. FROM IDEA TO INITIATIVE the true K-State Proud began in 2006 after a group of students representing the Student Foundation attended an annual conference, where they heard stories of philanthropic initiatives on other meaning of campuses. Inspired, those students began thinking of ways they could meet the needs of their fellow classmates. After considering several ideas, they settled on compassion what would become K-State Proud — a campaign where students help their peers afford college and remain at K-State. Acting under the guidance of the Student Foundation, which is part through of the larger Kansas State University Foundation, student leaders were recruited to form an advisory board to spread the word and drum up interest in the K-State Proud campaign. K-State “The first year, they made a goal of raising $3,500, and broke that in the first K-State Proud night of the campaign,” Reynolds said. co-chairs Kyle Reynolds “They then made it a $35,000 goal and (left) and Javier Lopez still smashed that.

  • A Self Guided Driving Tour of Manhattan, Kansas Developed by the Riley County Historical Society and Museum November 2018
    1 “Where the Adventure Began: Touring the Home Town of the Food Explorers” A self guided driving tour of Manhattan, Kansas Developed by the Riley County Historical Society and Museum November 2018 (This is a work in progress. If you have corrections or suggestions, please contact the Riley County Historical Museum.) This self-guided driving tour was developed for the 2018 Kansas State University K-State Science Communication Week activities to coordinate with the events sponsored by the Kansas State University Global Food Systems Initiative around the book “The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats” by Daniel Stone. The tour primarily focuses on the Manhattan places between 1864, when the Marlatt family returned to Manhattan from a short stay in the Kansas City area, and 1897, when the Fairchild family left Manhattan. That period in Manhattan would been part of the lives of David Fairchild, the “Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats” and two of his childhood friends and colleagues, Charles L. Marlatt, and Walter T. Swingle. In 1880 Manhattan had a population of 2,105 and Kansas State Agricultural College had an enrollment of 267. In 1890 Manhattan had a population of 3,004 and Kansas State Agricultural College had an enrollment of 593. David G. Fairchild (1869 – 1954) was the son of Kansas State Agricultural College President George T. Fairchild and Charlotte Halsted Fairchild. His family came to Manhattan in 1879, when his father took the job as KSAC President. David graduated from KSAC in 1888 and began a long, adventurous, and productive career as a “food explorer” for the Office of Seed and Plant Introduction of the U.S.

  • A Historical Look at the Development of 17Th Street
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE 17TH STREET CORRIDOR THROUGH THE KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS by TOMOYA SUZUKI A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF REGIONAL AND COMMUNITY PLANNING Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning College of Architecture, Planning and Design KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Ray Weisenburger Copyright TOMOYA SUZUKI 2010 Abstract This report examines how 17th Street on the Kansas State University campus, initially a service road on the west edge of the campus, has become a major point of public campus access while retaining its function as a service road. In addition, this report conducts interviews with 10 persons with various backgrounds and experiences involving 17th Street to understand public impressions and interests regarding 17th Street. Finally, this report reviews future development scenarios of 17th Street that allow 17th Street to be a contributor with a distinctive character to the university. When Kansas State University was transferred from old Bluemont Central College to its current location in 1875, 17th Street, which now crosses the middle of the campus on a North-South axis, was outside of the campus’ core facility areas. As various university programs have grown throughout the late 20th Century, the campus of Kansas State University has expanded toward the west. As a result, the relative proximity of 17th Street to the center of campus has changed. Now, 17th Street is recognized as one of the major entrances to campus from the south; yet because of the street’s initial and ongoing service function and its service- related facilities, there are parts of the corridor that are not attractive.

T. (2015). Education in the „right‟ sense of the word: The quest for a balanced education at the Kansas State Agricultural College. Retrieved from http://krex.ksu.edu Abstract & Keywords After the establishment of the Kansas State Agriculture College in accordance with the Morrill Act, there was significant disapproval for the scope of education at the school, in favor of a more “practical” agricultural education which came under the leadership of President Anderson. Although Anderson made significant efforts in advancing education, his moves were too radical, and the final direction of the college was determined when President George Fairchild successfully combined the practical and classical structures to provide a broad curriculum that did not ignore the importance of hands-on training, and in doing so, he built a model agricultural college for the nation.

  • B Ison & B Lu Estem
    PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Karen Hummel On February 21, 2013, snow falls softly, adding to the 10 inches fallen in the past few hours. I sit, comfortably enjoying the view with a cup of tea, securely confident that the pantry, refrigerator and freezer hold necessary provisions for the next few days. Meteorologists show instantaneous and predictive radar, and have provided storm warnings sufficient for area residents to plan for this major snow event. On February 16, 1863, the Kansas Legislature passed an act establishing Kansas State Agricultural College as the state’s Land Grant College. Come with me, in your imagination, to that time in Manhattan, Kansas, 150 years ago. We’ll contrast the lifestyle of that time to the comforts we enjoy now. A fortunate homeowner would live in a frame or limestone home on a street close to Poyntz Avenue. Heat would be provided by wood or coal stove, or fireplace. The kitchen might be detached to isolate the smoke and odors. Candles or coal oil lamps would provide some light in the darkness, although there are no street lamps. Electricity will not come to Manhattan until 1890. The first ice house will be built in 1884; so food preservation is limited to use of a root cellar or spring house, drying, or canning. Poultry could be kept for fresh eggs and meat. A cow could be kept for milk and butter. Vegetable gardens are common. In 1887, the Fairmont Dairy will provide butter to Manhattan citizens and businesses, but that is years in the future. In earlier days, there were reports of Isaac Goodnow going on bison hunts with area Kansa Indians.
