He graduated from Olathe High School in 1935. From there he went on to <a href="/wiki/Kansas_State_University" title="Kansas State University">Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science</a>, and later transferred to the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Kansas" title="University of Kansas">University of Kansas</a>. In 1943 he graduated from the University of Kansas, and from the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Kansas_Law_School" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Kansas Law School">University of Kansas Law School</a> the following year. He did not qualify for military service during World War II for physical reasons. Instead, he spent two years, from 1944 to 1946, on the staff of Federal Judge <a href="/wiki/Walter_A._Huxman" title="Walter A. Huxman">Walter A. Huxman</a>. Later in 1946, Anderson opened his own law practice in Olathe.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Soon after establishing his law practice, Anderson entered politics by running for county attorney of Johnson County as a Republican. Anderson won this election, as well as two following elections and served in this capacity until 1953. </p><p>Beginning in 1952, Anderson sought to elevate his political career by running for a seat in the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_State_Senate" class="mw-redirect" title="Kansas State Senate">Kansas State Senate</a>. Again he was successful, holding his office until March 1, 1956. At that time, he was appointed to fill the unexpired term as <a href="/wiki/Kansas_Attorney_General" title="Kansas Attorney General">attorney general</a>. Once in this elective office, Anderson won the two following elections in 1956 and 1958. Anderson was part of "The Young Turks", a reform-minded group of Republicans who backed <a href="/wiki/Fred_Hall" title="Fred Hall">Fred Hall</a> as governor, and opposed <a href="/wiki/Right-to-work_law" title="Right-to-work law">right-to-work</a> laws like the governor himself. </p><p>By 1960, Anderson was ready for bigger ambitions and entered the race for the office of governor in the election of that year. He defeated the Democratic incumbent, <a href="/wiki/George_Docking" title="George Docking">George Docking</a>, 511,534 to 402,261 (the Prohibition candidate received 8,727). In keeping with his tradition for winning elections in pairs, Anderson also won the 1962 Gubernatorial election. Anderson became the first governor of Kansas to occupy <a href="/wiki/Cedar_Crest_(mansion)" title="Cedar Crest (mansion)">Cedar Crest</a> which had just been renovated at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. </p><p>During his time as governor, Anderson increased funding for every grade level in the state's education system, added <a href="/wiki/Wichita_State_University" title="Wichita State University">Wichita State University</a> to the Board of Regents system. A state technical institute in Salina was established and a number of vocational technical schools were opened. Under Anderson's watch, the number of public school districts went from a thousand to 303 districts. The state's medical and mental hospital systems were reorganized and expanded, the pardon and parole system were reformed, new highways were built, a public employee retirement fund was established, and a fund was established to receive funds from the federal government in order to fund a program to assist children of low-income families. Because of his efforts to fund and improve education in Kansas, Anderson was nicknamed the "Education Governor".<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Anderson also sought to advance civil rights in Kansas. In his 1961 inaugural speech, Anderson said: "The forward push of certain minority groups for equal places in our society have been [sic] greatly dramatized in recent years in the southern states... America is moving forward into an era of greater opportunity for some groups and less privilege for other groups.
