Northeastern Oklahoma ARM College at Miami has now written a history of fifty years of service. In 1919 the State Legislature of Oklahoma created provisions for the establishment of the college at Miami. The college has grown until it is Oklahoma's largest junior college, with an enrollment of some 2400 students and with some 1200 of these living on the campus. Through the cooperation of the City of Miami with the Northeastern Oklahoma ASLM College, Oklahoma had its first Urban Renewal Program. This allowed for the moving of 108 houses and gave an additional thirty acres of land to the college, on which is now located the Library-Administration Building, the Fine Arts Center, and most of the housing for the campus. During this Fiftieth Anniversary year of the founding of the college, we will dedicate eight new buildings which have been completed within the last three years. Northeastern ARM College has one of the best all-around academic programs that can be found at any college located in mid-America. Agriculture and Home Economics have been stressed throughout the years at this college. We are known for having the outstanding Vocational-Technical program any- where in the State and in the area. We would like to give students a warm welcome to attend this friendly, democratic college. Northeastern Oklahoma AGM College is small enough to give the student personal attention, yet large enough to have a wide variety of curricular offerings. If you are genuinely interested in securing an education, you can get a good start at Northeastern Oklahoma AkM College. ' erely, 495, e ruce G. Carter President BC-Cfmb
