In 1895, the first class, faculty and founders of Fairmount College laid the foundation for the University of Wichita, and, today, for Wichita State University to emerge. Our Society of 1895 draws its name from this proud legacy and honors our alumni and friends who have included a gift to Wichita State in their estate plans.
