For the 40th anniversary of the Leonard H. Axe Library, President Axe

is honored on the cover of the 2019 bibliography.

Dr. Leonard Henry Axe was president of the Kansas State Teachers

College from 1957 to 1965. He initiated a number of projects and

important changes at the college during his tenure as president

including succeeding in getting the name changed to Kansas State

College of Pittsburg, acknowledging the institution’s expansion and

diversification of degree programs. He helped initiate several new

buildings on campus that included the Weede, Hughes and Yates

Halls, and an addition to the Overman Student Center.

Dr. Axe was born October 9, 1900 in Council Grove, Kansas. He

received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baker University in 1923, an

LL.B. degree from the University of Kansas in 1929, and his Doctor

of Science of Jurisprudence from the University of Michigan in 1942.

He practiced law for a number of years prior to joining the faculty and

administration at KU.

During WWII, he was the director of the Navy V-12 program at KU,

and organized and directed the veteran’s training program.

He wrote books on aviation insurance and business law, and published

articles in various law review journals.

Following his retirement from KSCP (now Pittsburg State

University), he became dean of Cottey College, Nevada, Missouri

until 1968. Dr. Leonard H. Axe died in December 1975.

In October 1979, the newly built and unnamed library was dedicated,

replacing Porter Library. The library was later rededicated in April

1981 and named the Leonard H. Axe Library in honor of his many

contributions to the university.
