Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thirty-Seventh Annual Catalogue of Ottawa University, Ottawa, Kansas: Officers and Students, 1901-1902 The origin of Ottawa University can be traced to the missionary work done by the Baptist denomination among the Ottawa Indians. This work began while the Ottawas lived in Canada and continued during their migration westward and after their settlement upon their reservation in Kansas. The principal teachers among the Ottawas during the fifties and early sixties were Rev. John Tecumseh Jones, an Indian educated at Madison Uni versity, New York, and his wife, Jane Kelly Jones, a native of Maine. At that time the Ottawas were occupying a reservation about twelve miles square in Franklin County, Kansas. Most of the tribe had adopted the dress and toe pur suits of the whites, and Mr. And Mrs. Jones believed that the entire tribe would soon become wholly civilized and be absorbed into the population which sur rounded the reservation.
