Herein are reflected the rapid, progressive realization of cherished ambitions of students, faculty and ad- ministration. May Keslrzemz, which connotes brave, colorful and dramatic leadership, stimulate the Class of 1947 to continued progress. These pages mirror unprecedented growth of Okla- homa City Universityls enrolment and financial stabil- ity, the return to the campusof more than 1,500 men from the battlefields of the world in defense of our freedomg the resumption of athletics, and many other student activities which were interrupted during the four years of War. Class of 1947, during your four years here, you have seen the University cleared of lIS36o,00o.oo in- debtedness, the assets quadrupled, the endowment in- creased l55oo,ooo.oog the enrolment grow from I,IOO to 3368, the library, with 10,000 new volumes, moved into its new homeg a pipe organ installed in the auditoriumg a new cafeteria built on the campusg 163 apartments for C1l's built at Will Rogers Field, and more than .l5200,000.00 worth of teaching equip- ment added. The faculty has been doubled. O. C. U. has been accredited by the University Senate, and the School of Music by the American Association of Schools of Nfusic. You have had a large share in all this advance. You and other students have been the sole inspiration and purpose of this achievement. We are sure you will carry the same inspiration and progress into your chosen professions or occupations. May you never forget that achievement adds responsibility and makes failure conspicuous. Class of 1947, we shall miss you and hope you will return often to the campus. Our interest, best wishes and prayers will follow you. C. Smith 1101.
