Cameron, Asset to Lawton I Q CAM -Feature- One of the outstanding assets of the Lawton community was Cameron University. The convenient location drew many students graduating from the three high schools to its campus. Of the total number of students enrolled at Cameron, approximately eighty per cent were graduates of Lawton Public Schools. Some students used Cameron as a 'training ground' for getting used to campus life, attending school at home for a year or two before going away. First established in 1901, Cameron State School of Agriculture was named for E. D. Cameron, the State Superintendent of schools at that time. Cameron was a two-year junior college from 1940 until 1966 when it assumed status as a four-year college. In 1974 the Oklahoma State Legislature decided that Cameron College should be redesignated as Cameron University. CU provides four-year programs of instruction in the liberal arts and sciences culminating in the awarding of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees. Cameron University has helped to form a well-rounded community by providing cultural enrichment through the sponsorship of lectures, musical and dramatic productions, and art exhibits and workshops. MANY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS attended Cameron's sporting events, including the basketball games held in the CU Field house, and celebrated the Cameron tradition of winning. Community: Cameron 25
