capital, Topeka. Lawrence, a progressive college town of 95,000,
boasts a lively downtown with many music venues, award-winning
restaurants, and a nationally celebrated independent bookstore among
its many independently owned small businesses. The College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences is the largest school within the campus and plays a
central role within the University. Founded in 1865, KU is a
designated Carnegie comprehensive doctoral and research university and
is one of only 34 public members of the prestigious Association of
American Universities (AAU).
