Professor Snow became KU's 5th chancellor in 1890 and held this position through 1901. The original Snow Hall of Natural History designed by John G.

Snow Hall currently houses Mathematics, Computer Science and Enviromental Science programs.

Strong Hall was based on designs by Montrose McArdle as an Administration and College building to fulful George Kessler's master plan of 1904 which responded to the needs of the growing student body. Strong Hall displays Classical Revival style archetecture and is a rare example of high-style Beaux Arts. Constructed between 1909 and 1923 the building was named after the 6th chancellor of KU, Frank Strong who lead the University from 1902 to 1920.
