Kansas City University was a private Methodist university in Kansas City, Kansas that was founded 1896 and ceased operations in 1933. It was the successor-in-interest to Campbell College in Holton (which in turn had been the successor-in-interest to Lane University in Lecompton). In 1906, during the term of college president D. S. Stephens, the university was the site of a meeting between the United Brethren and Methodist church conferences, during which a controversial merger was discussed.
The university was based out of Mather Hall, a large brick and mortar building that held the school's library, administrative offices, and numerous classrooms. Today, the building is still standing and is owned by the Central States Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, who use the building as a conference and retreat center.
