The University of Kansas (KU) is a public research university〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Supply Chain & Logistics Education at School of Business )〕 and the largest in the U.S. state of Kansas. KU branch campuses are located in the towns of Lawrence, Wichita, Overland Park, Salina, and Kansas City, Kansas, with the main campus located in Lawrence on Mount Oread, the highest location in Lawrence. Founded March 21, 1865, the university was opened in 1866, under a charter granted by the Kansas State Legislature in 1864〔 following enabling legislation passed in 1863 under the Kansas State Constitution, adopted two years after the 1861 admission of the former Kansas Territory as the 34th state into the Union following a very famous bloody internal civil war known as "Bleeding Kansas" during the 1850s. The university's Medical Center and University Hospital are located in Kansas City, Kansas. The Edwards Campus is in Overland Park, Kansas, in the Kansas City metropolitan area. There are also educational and research sites in Parsons and Topeka, and branches of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita and Salina. The university is one of the 62 members of the Association of American Universities. Enrollment at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses was 23,597 students in fall 2014; an additional 3,371 students were enrolled at the KU Medical Center〔http://www.kumc.edu/Documents/EnterpriseAnalytics/KUMC%2020th%20Day%20Enrollment%20Summary%20-%20Fall%202014.pdf〕 for a total enrollment of 26,968〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www2.ku.edu/~oirp/profiles/new/4-153.pdf )〕 students across the three campuses. The university overall employed 2,663 faculty members in fall 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www2.ku.edu/~oirp/profiles/FY2013/6-001_to_6-145.pdf )〕 ==History== (詳細はThomas Carney signed into law a bill creating the state university in Lawrence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of KU - Kansas Historical Society )〕 The law was conditioned upon a gift from Lawrence of a $15,000 endowment fund and a site for the university, in or near the town, of not less than forty acres (16 ha) of land. If Lawrence failed to meet these conditions, Emporia instead of Lawrence would get the university. The site selected for the university was a hill known as Mount Oread, which was owned by former Kansas Governor Charles L. Robinson. Robinson and his wife Sara bestowed the site to the State of Kansas in exchange for land elsewhere.〔 The philanthropist Amos Adams Lawrence donated $10,000 of the necessary endowment fund, and the citizens of Lawrence raised the remaining cash by issuing notes backed by Governor Carney.〔 On November 2, 1863, Governor Carney announced that Lawrence had met the conditions to get the state university, and the following year the university was officially organized. The school's Board of Regents held its first meeting in March 1865, which is the event that KU dates its founding from.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =https://ku150.ku.edu/ )〕 Work on the first college building began later that year.〔 The university opened for classes on September 12, 1866, and the first class graduated in 1873.〔 During World War II, Kansas was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Kansas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
