The Groundbreaking for this entry into the Thursday Doors was in 2014. Not vintage doors by any means, but what lies beyond them are pretty cool.

In an office somewhere back in 2013, a KU alumni purchased for a mere $4.3 million, the original rules of basketball. And these are the doors you enter to see them.

James Naismith was the author of these original rules and KU has embraced both Naismith and the generously donated ‘rules’ with the DeBruce Center.  I’m a little short on time this week but hopefully the following collage will give it some recognition it deserves.

Quiet weekends won’t last long once classes resume.

One of the metal Wheat depictions. Love this!

Please stop by Norm 2.0 for other wonderful Thursday Door entries. You’ll definitely be glad you did.
