It starts in 10 minutes. As he crosses the intersection at 15th and Naismith, Matt, a sophomore from Hays, pushes full speed toward the paved stretch between Budig and Marvin Halls — only five minutes away from Wescoe. lifeHow four Matt motors up Wescoe’s wheelchair ramp, only to be foiled by a set of heavy glass doors he can’t open. This entrance has no handicap-accessible buttons or automatic door openers, so he patiently waits outside, knowing he will be late unless someone students sees him and opens the door. Although Matt has learned to cope with frustration, these moments remind him of conquered the price he pays to be a Jayhawk. Matt became a partial quadriplegic after an accident on a playground damaged his campus, spine when he was 6 months old. Like Matt, students with physical disabilities at the University face challenges in navigating hills and old buildings and getting to class on time.

  • The View from the Stadium: the University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium and the College Stadium Movement by © 2019 Howard Graham
    The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium and the College Stadium Movement By © 2019 Howard Graham M.A., University of Kansas, 2008 B.A., Colgate University, 1999 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: John Rury Suzanne Rice Ebenezer Obadare David Roediger Date Defended: 16 May 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Howard Graham certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium Chair: John Rury Date Approved: 26 July 2019 iii Abstract The View from the Stadium: The University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium, is a meditation over the college football stadium movement of the post-World War I era. The study incorporates higher education history, intellectual and social history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, African and African American history, Indigenous Nations history, whiteness studies, geography, sports history, and political philosophy. This dissertation seeks to establish the social and political backgrounds that inform the stadium movement of the 1920s. The aim is to understand the factors that influenced how KU’s Memorial Stadium (1921) was conceptualized, completed and subsequently. It is a conceptual intervention focused on stadium space and use, and contributes to the scholarship of higher education and sport. iv Acknowledgements I wish to thank my wife, Amanda, and our children, Russell and Ruby, for their support that made this dissertation possible. If there were a dedication, it would be for Amanda who sacrifices every day for our family and me.
