- 7 y 'Q 'ciff'l'sta' 'F J RIYRTLIQ GI.I'I.XSON t'oi.r: DEAN OI MEN .Xnother year has been added to the history of The University of Tulsa.and another year of student life and activity has been completed. There are many evidences that the year just closing has been a most successful year in inner development for the institution as a whole and a most satisfactory year from the point of view of student life. The new buildings, through a year of use, have been made a real part of the institution, spiritually as- similated into the life on the campus. They have now been dedicated not merely by words and cere- mony, but, more significantly, by study and re search, by student and faculty life in them and about them. The campus is rapidly becoming the beauty spot of Tulsa and the most beautiful campus in the state. The faculty and student body have grown in numbers and in the spirit of cooperative endeavor. The people of Tulsa and of the state are taking increasing pride in the appearance and in the educational achievements of the institution. The student body, through its annual record of student life, the Kendallabrurn, may, therefore, with propriety publish the achievements of the year as marking more than usual progress within the University. L.xcRi3xci: S. Mclacon. DEAN OF WOMEN Each year the Kendallabrum- put forth by the Junior t'lass of The University of Tulsa---paints a more beautiful picture, faithfully portraying the growth and development of this institution which by its marvelous achievement of the past few years reflects the spirit of progress and success so typical of the Great Southwest. This year has seen the completion of three beau- tiful buildings, dedicated to the promotion of edu- cational ideals. and the opening of a stadium which meets all needs of the athletic department. More complete and up to date equipment has been in- stalled and new faculty members have been added to care for the increased enrollment. More books are being constantly added to the new library which in its stately beauty is itself an inspiration and a challenge to serious study. The faculty and student body, by their earnest, enthusiastic promotion of University activities, are justifying the interest and loyalty of the com- munity which by its cooperation and generous support is making possible this phenomenal de- velopment. and the Kendallabrum of this year is most fortunate in its opportunity to offer the most beautiful and encouraging picture that has yet been painted of The University of Tulsa' the recognized Cultural Center of the Magic limpire. lliYli'1'1.Ii G1.ia.xsoN t'o1.ic. l.,xr7RicNcF S.

FINLAYSOXI TO KENIJALLABRUM READERS: GR l'1IC'l'IN G - 'lt is the aim of The University of Tulsa that student life here shall be more than just some more experience for some more college students. McFarlin Library, Tyrrell Hall, the Engineering Building, and Skelly Stadium are all a bit unique among structures of their kind. The quality of the faculty is also quite exceptional. All this, we believe, tends to make the life of the student on the campus of this school different. Quality in students also furthers this difference. The success of our graduates in gaining fellowships in the best graduate schools tells the same story. Student Life is one thing: Tulsa Student Life is something more. Yours for making it still more, JOHN D. FINLAYSON 2? 'rr WJ LW Page I7

The School has adopted the cooperative system of technical training in order to provide a well balanced training program, in which the funda- taught mentals underlying the profession will be in school and the practical application of these fundamentals will be demonstrated in the industry. The faculty of this school is being built up of men with sound technical training and education, who have had actual contacts with industry and will be augmented from time to time as the enroll- ment of our school demands. Realizing the possibilities of a petroleum en- gineering school here in the center of the oil indus- try, one of our leaders in the industry, Waite Phillips, gave the Engineering Building to the University, saying: This buildingfdedicated to youthfis erected to put an additional tool into the hands of those who work, so that, through constructive effort, they may be useful, and through service may be happy. R. L. LANCENHICIM ALBERT LUKKEN R. L. LANGENHRIM DEAN OF FINE ARTS The School of Fine Arts, comprising the depart- ments of art, music, and speech, is deservedly a vital force on the campus of The University of Tulsa. Despite the severity of the present economic depression, the arts have maintained their popu- larity to a surprising degree, testifying to the fact that art after all is a real necessity in life and not an extraneous something to amuse and entertain. Man has always sought to beautify his surround- ings and to glorify his existence through the medium of art. In fact, manls appreciation of the arts practically determines his status in the evolution of civilization. The adage that art alone survivesv contains a great deal of truth. That art serves both a spiritual and a physical need is increasingly evident, as there is scarcely a phase of modern life that is not in some manner concerned with the various arts. Science itself, formerly regarded as an enemy of the arts, has contributed immeasurably to architecture, music, and drama. Certainly an education is not complete that neglects so vital a part of man's makeup. ALBERT LUKKEN I I' Page I9
