In this, your college annual, you have recorded in pictures and print, faces, fancies and facts that are vivid and fresh in memory. It is a record of activities in which you and your fellow students have participated. In years to come its pages will revive your memory of the names and personal qualities of friends whom you do not wish to for- get. How dear are our memories! 0ne's activities go on in an endless chain of events from the cradle to the grave. The four years spent in college make a chapter which cannot be severed or set apart from the chapters that fol- low. However important these four years may be, and however greatly they may influence the years that come there- after, they constitute only one section of the continuous life story. The more significant they are the more they will be cherished in memory and the closer will be the ties to the future fortunes of college associates and alma mater. At commencement time, with pro- phetic eyes we look forward to uncon- quered kingdoms. Visions of classmates in positions of wealth and influenceg as leaders in the arts and in the profes- sions: as travelers in foreign lands: and in the many and varied stations of life appear when we try to think of the fu- ture and what it holds. lVhen we be- come realistic in our thinking, the vision remains and we know it must be so. VVe are unable to place the names and faces of our classmates in their re- lationships to society in an order that we are certain will be realized, but we do know that taking the group as a whole and the great variety of positions and numerous fields of life endeavor and responsibility, they will be found not out of keeping, in general, with what we now envision. The Former Students Association, the organization to which this page is devoted, has for its function the bring- ing into perspective the whole life pic- ture of each one who chooses the A. and TW. College as his educational shrine. It seeks to expand one's college years and to make each one realize, enjoy and profit from his broader relationships to the college and to its alumni, both those Page 17 ormer tutlent ssociatioli liratluates Continue tn lloost llklalunna Agricultural and Nleelianieal College Ily MESS ALLEN , is , jf Wwratyf CH.Quu.ifs H.

College lllagazine is published, re- unions are held every five years for each graduating class, Homecomings are ob- served, a Placement lgureau is operated. local organizations are prompted, and the welfare of the institution sought in every way possible. It is the organization of the alumni and former students of the A. and lf. College for the preserva- tion of your fondest memories and the realization of your choicest visions. Historically speaking the Former Stu- dents Association of the Oklahoma A. and KI. College was founded in lfllfl. lt was preceded by the Alumni Corp- oration of the Oklahoma A. and KI. College, organized in 1920, which, in turn, is anti-dated by the Alumni Asso- ciation of the Oklahoma A. and KI. Col- lege, organized by the first graduating class. The Former Students Association is governed by a board of directors of seventeen members, fifteen of whom are elected in groups of five each year by the members of the association to serve for a period of three years. The Senior class elects one member to serve during the senior year for one year succeeding graduation, to make the total member- ship on the board. The representative of the V733 class is Philip YV. Vsihitaker, ln accordance with an amendment to the constitution adopted at the last an- imal meeting, the board elects its own officers. Offices of the association are on the third floor of Old Central Building. Toe Row-i'urtin, Allen, VVile, Harrison, Adams, Potts, Patlen.

The Graduate School has as its principal objectives: the advancemen 1 f Q our t of knowledge through research by staff and students: the training of stude for teachingg and the training of stil- lds. Hts There has been a larger percent of advanced students enrolled in the col lege during the past five years due to the increasing demand for people master's degrees. f - , . . XY l he number ol graduates of othci in stitutions who are coming to the C homa ykgricultural and llechanical Tkla- 1 w Kol- lege encourages the plan of the irrad- uate School for continued improvements. ln the 4-l departments of the college there are .111 departments in which grad- uate work has been carried on di the live year period, l'120gl'93-1. iri During the past five years the col Th. , , . lege has conferred all master's degrees is was -S percent of the number of bachelorls degrees granted during the sanie period. The large number of masters degrees granted from the col lege as compared to bachelorls degree is a reflection of the fact that all state institutions of high learning now rt cpnre the instructors to have obtained at least their master's degrees.

From 1021 on, however, the mnnber in- creased steadily until 1933 when the col- lege conferred 1fiS which is the largest munber of master's degrees ever con- ferred by Oklahoma Agricultural and lklechanical College in one year. The evidence of progress which the Graduate School has shown since its establishment in 1915 leads to the con- clusion that the Graduate School is be- coming more important with every year and that the number who seek advanced degrees will increase as the school pro- gresses. X1Vhi1e most of the graduate students live in Oklahoma at the time they work on their masterls degrees many of them received their bache1or's degrees from in- stitutions in other states. During the five year period students from 13 institutions in Oklahoma, and from SS institutions in ZS other states were enrolled in the Graduate School. The other institutions and states were en- fact that so many people from rolled in graduate work here points out that the Graduate School is realizing one of the aims which it was founded to accomplish.

There is a large number of graduates of institutions in Oklahoma who need to continue their training but who are not in a position to go to institutions in other parts of the United States. 11Vhi1e it may not be advisable for all those who secure positions in Oklahoma to receive their training in this state, it would certainly be a mistake to fill all those positions with people trained elsewhere. ln order to obtain the services of the best instructors in a department, it is often necessary to provide conditions for research and other facilities necessary to progress. These conditions are part of the requirements for graduate study. The watchword of the Graduate School is research, original investiga- tion in the various phases of the fields of arts, science and literature. lilven be- fore its organization as a separate school in September 1929, the school had reached a conspicuous place of leader- ship in pushing forward the bounds of knowledge through the researches of its faculty and students. lfmphasized in the requirements for degrees and courses offered in the Grad- .
