Douthart Scholarship Hall was built in 1954 in honor of Lela Douthart, a teacher at Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kansas, and her sister, Ava Douthart Chronister, a member of KU's class of 1889 who died in 1945. Douthart has 12 suites, each shared by 4 women. Each suite has two bedrooms and a commons room. Women in Douthart have a knack for involvement. They’re active in the All Scholarship Hall Council and other campus activities. “Schol-Hollywood” is a popular spring event and the women also sponsor “Romp in the Hay” in the fall and a farewell banquet in May. This is the only schol hall with a storage room named “Henry.”
