Ye La AU te THE SPIRIT OF NORTHWESTERN by Ea Aud The opening of the Cherokee Strip within a few hours populated a great prairie land with a courageous, determined people. Northwestern State Teachers College is a true product of these hardy picneers. A bill creating the school was signed by Third Territorial Governor William C, Renfrow, about midnight on March le, 1897, James E, Ament, an Illincis educator, was appcinted president. The cornerstone for the first building, Administration, was iaid on July 1, 1898, Plans for this building were drawn up by Joseph Foucart, a native Frenchman, Its general outline was that of an old Norman castle. In Architectural design and superior werkman- ship, it was in advance of any other school building in the South- west. In June, 1906, a bill was signed by Fresident Theodore Roosevelt appropriating $50,000.00 for the erection of a Science , Holl. In 1918 a palatial president's home was erected on the campus | ay at a cost of approximately $15,000.00. | Been Se 4 $50,000.00 gymnesium was built in 1919, The seating capacity of the gymnasium is about fifteen hundred. In 1923 Herod Hall | | Auditorium, a large structure costing $100,000.00 was erected. This i naeee. building also contains nine classrooms, Pore onl Northwestern was one of the most modern teachers colleges in the Southwest until the destruction of the historic old Administration building by fire on March 1, 1935. This was an irreparable loss in eyes of the old settlers, but the fighting spirit of Cklahome's citizens asserted itself ond immediate action was taken to secure its replacement. A totel of $545,000.00 was obtained for the erection of Horace Monn Hall and mammoth Jesse Dunn Hall, named in honor of Bihar he one of northwestern %klahoma's errly settlers. | Ancient § Northwestern stands to-day «as a monument to the progressive Meer, spirit of Oklahoma's early settlers. ie? wai a eae RO mR em RE DINE WITH aN OLD aL- .
