Naismith’s Basketball Rules Coming To Kansas

James Naismith’s original rules of
basketball will get a new home at the University of Kansas.
University officials said Wednesday the school will build a
two-story student center near Allen Fieldhouse to house the
basketball rules.
Dale Seuferling, president of the Kansas Endowment Association,
says plans for the center are still preliminary. An architect could
be selected by next month. He says the building will be funded
entirely by private donors.
The basketball rules will be the focal point, but the building will be
connected to other historical exhibits in the Booth Family Hall of
Athletics.
David Booth, a Texas investor, paid $4.3 million for the rules
and donated them to Kansas.
Naismith, the first basketball coach at Kansas, wrote the 13
rules in 1891.
