Admmamam md 4 TO THE CLASS OF 1948: We are sorry to see you go, but we should be disappointed if you had to stay longer. Your four years of college life have been busy, profitable and, we hope, happy. You have made an indelible impression upon our campus life, and we shall follow you with our interest and prayers for success in your chosen Held. You who came here as freshmen four years ago, found very few men on the campus because they were fighting on the battle-fronts of the world to preserve our way of life. It required courage to enroll in college because of the disturbed condition of a world at war, but your courage has been richly rewarded. Many of you who are graduating fought valiantly in that war, and we are so happy that you were able to return to complete your college work. During the past two years, you have witnessed unprecedented growth in your Alma Mater. You have seen the erection of two large brick teaching buildings, the new gymnasium and cafeteria, 15 two-story and 7 one-story dormitories, the addition of nearly 30,000 books to the library, a million dol- lars' worth of equipment and tools for teaching and transportation purposes, the endowment increased by more than half a million dollars, and a fund of a millon dollars subscribed for additional buildings. By your own hard work, you have been promoted to the largest class in Oklahoma City University. In this class, competition will be keener and teachers less sympathetic, but if you love your course, the rewards will be compensatory. You will always be enrolled at OCU, and we hope you will always feel at home here. We shall strive to increase the service and prestige of your Alma Mater. 1 I Page PRE Ill :-
