  • Melissa Mayhew History 586-B, Undergraduate Research Seminar on the Middle Ages Spring 2015 Instructor: Prof
    1 Melissa Mayhew History 586-B, Undergraduate Research Seminar on the Middle Ages Spring 2015 Instructor: Prof. David Defries Castles of K-State Abstract: One of the most notable things about the Kansas State University campus is its abundance of castles. This paper argues that these castles were designed to match earlier buildings that were a part of medieval revival styles in architecture, particularly the Romanesque. What the medieval meant to the adopters of the Romanesque was different from the ideas of Englishness and aristocracy of the Gothic revival, yet they shared the use of medieval architecture as a statement against the standardization and cold logic of the Industrial Revolution. While the meaning and significance of the K-State castles has changed over the century or so they have existed, the differing values of what the medieval and modern symbolize still appear when new castles are built and the old ones restored. One of the most striking features of Kansas State University’s campus is the number of ‘castles’ it contains. Although these buildings are not technically castles, their towers, castellated parapets, and turrets, such as those seen on Nichols Hall and Holton Hall, stir most people to identify them with the large stone fortresses built in the Middle Ages. Most of the buildings on K-State’s campus are over a century old and while various reference books, histories, newspapers, and guides available in K-State’s Special Collections Archives helpfully say what styles the buildings are and point out that those styles were popular at the time the buildings were built, the sources do not discuss the significance of the buildings’ architectural styles.

What an incredible night of purple pride! More than 750 alumni and friends came together in Ahearn Field House to launch the public phase of the $500 million Changing Lives Campaign. When the fiscal year came to a close in June of 2006, the amazing generosity of alumni and friends had propelled the campaign to $402.5 million, and set a new record for contributions in a single year. Read more inside about the milestones, momentum, passion and progress of the Changing Lives Campaign. Passi on f or p otent ia l Discovering and nurturing individual potential is at the heart of changing lives. Scholarship awards allow students to spend more hours participating in academic, social and leadership experiences, and fewer hours working to support the cost of education. Since the campaign began, 682 scholarships and awards were established that are helping students today. An additional 242 scholarships were established that will be funded in the future from deferred gift commitments. Just a few of the 158 funds created during the 2006 fiscal year illustrate the passion donors feel for changing lives, and the broad areas of study they support.
