On February 20, 1863, Kansas Governor [[Thomas Carney]] signed into law a bill creating the state university in Lawrence.<ref name="KHS">[http://www.kshs.org/p/kansas-historical-quarterly-the-university-of-kansas/13175 History of KU - Kansas Historical Society]</ref>
The law was conditioned upon a gift from Lawrence of a $15,000 endowment fund and a site for the university, in or near the town, of not less than forty acres (16 ha) of land.<ref name=Griffin>{{cite web| last =Griffin | first =C.S. | title =The University of Kansas and the Years of Frustration, 1854–64 | url =http://www.kshs.org/publicat/khq/1966/66_1_griffin.htm | accessdate =2009-12-04}}</ref> If Lawrence failed to meet these conditions, [[Emporia, Kansas|Emporia]] instead of Lawrence would get the university.
The site selected for the university was a hill known as Mount Oread, which was owned by former Kansas Governor [[Charles L. Robinson]]. Robinson and his wife Sara bestowed the {{convert|40|acre|ha|adj=on}} site to the State of Kansas in exchange for land elsewhere.<ref name=Griffin/> The philanthropist [[Amos Adams Lawrence]] donated $10,000 of the necessary endowment fund, and the citizens of Lawrence raised the remaining cash by issuing notes backed by Governor Carney.<ref name=Griffin/> On November 2, 1863, Governor Carney announced that Lawrence had met the conditions to get the state university, and the following year the university was officially organized.<ref name=Cyclopedia>{{cite web| title =Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History | url =http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1912/u/university_of_kansas.html}}</ref>
Work on the first college building was begun in 1865.<ref name=Cyclopedia/> The university opened for classes on September 12, 1866, and the first class graduated in 1873.<ref name=Cyclopedia/>
