Friends University is a private nondenominational Christian university in
Wichita, Kansas, United States. It was founded in 1898. The main building was
originally built in 1886 for Garfield University but was donated in 1898 to the
Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) by James Davis, a St. Louis business man.
In the 1930s the leadership of the school was turned over to an independent
board of trustees, with some representation of the Mid-America Yearly Meeting of
Friends on the board. It operates today with 'an amicable but independent
relationship with the evangelical branch of the Society of Friends.' Source:
