"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

 ~Mark Twain

    Looking through the boxes of old pictures and uniforms, we came across some interesting old KWU letter sweaters.  To be honest, we laughed and talked about how ugly and scratchy they were…

   Then the daughter of an alumnus who attended KWU in the 1920s so graciously sent us a scanned digital copy of her dad’s scrapbook and as I looked through the pictures I saw the sweater (or at least very similar sweaters)!  

  

      The team pictured above is the football team sometime from 1923 to 1925.  After seeing this picture of these young men so proudly wearing their sweaters, I don’t see an ugly sweater anymore.  I see a great piece of Kansas Wesleyan University history.
