In
the beginning, there was one. A glorious being named Elizabeth
Miller-Watkins roamed the earth freely, and she rejoiced. One
day, she came upon a magical land filled with mythical birds
and knowledgeable professors. It was called KU. Elizabeth Miller-Watkins
settled there, and she rejoiced. Still, Elizabeth Miller-Watkins
was lonely from time to time between periods of rejoicing. So
she created a mystical palace filled with beautiful creatures
who provided many hours of laughter and happiness. These creatures
were the Women of Watkins. Elizabeth Miller-Watkins' creation
became so successful that she chose to create another hall in
Watkins' image. This Hall was Miller. For many days and nights
Elizabeth Miller-Watkins labored creating Miller. In 1937 the
Hall was inhabited by many frisky creatures, and Elizabeth Miller-Watkins
rested. She told the Miller girls, "Go out into KU. Be fruitful
and multiply." And indeed they did, and so their tradition continued
for 64 years. And Elizabeth Miller-Watkins rejoiced. The Miller
girls went out into the world and shone bright light on those
who met them. The laughed in the streets, excelled in their
studies, and shared magically prepared meals in harmony. Oh,
and they rejoiced. This tradition will continue forever and
ever until the very last day of eternity, or until the Chancellor
tears down our house to make room for an Olympic-sized swimming
pool.
