I want to know the answer to the following question:
What competing city was next in line if Lawrence would have been unable to meet the requirements necessary to get KU built in its city?
All the background I'm provided with is that "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.". Is that enough to answer the question?
