On February 20, 1863, Kansas Governor Thomas Carney signed into law a bill creating the state university in Lawrence. 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. If Lawrence failed to meet these conditions, Emporia instead of Lawrence would get the university.
Is there an answer to this question (If it cannot be answered, say "unanswerable"): How much money did Lawrence have to contribute to the University as terms of its charter?
$15,000
