Here's the "K Book", given to my grandmother about 100 years ago this week.

Campus was a bit different (stadium still needs an upgrade).

what was the dashed looking line that goes up Mississippi and through campus? Path? trolley?

@DanR I think that's a foot path that went up the hill between what is now Bailey and Strong (there may be steps there today) and went across the street next to Robinson Gym. I looked online and found another map from 1926 and it had that path on it as well.

@bskeet That seems right. I love old maps!
