Who knew that Cowley College started out in 1922 and was referred by first-time students as “BU” or Basement University, due to the first classes being held in the lower level of the Arkansas City Senior High Building? Or that Renn Memorial Library is named after Oscar Renn, who was the head of the new Social Sciences Department in the fall of 1923? Between the Roaring Twenties is a new book authored and compiled by the Cowley College Centennial Book Committee, and it is a truly fascinating trip through a century of life in Ark City.
