Phillips, the red-headed, fiery, cigar- smoking governor who has strongly supported the policies of the Oklahoma A. and Nl. College has become the state's most famous economy governor. He grew up as a farm boy in Custer County, entered the llniversity of Oklahoma Law School in l9l3, and was named the best all-around student in his senior class. After graduation Phillips hung out his shingle at Ukemah, Oklahoma, where he practiced law until -lanuary 9, W39, when he be- came the eleventh governor of the state of Okla- homa. BlMlEli MED K My appreciation of the accomplishments of the Oklahoma Agricultural and hlechanicai College over the past half century, and of its aims for the future, is sincere and deep. 'llhe thousand young men and women now leaving its halls of learning are a credit to the entire State,Sand to the entire State they owe a debt for the training they have acquired here For them, as they become more active in the affairs of life, and for us all, it is well to know that life is not divided into distinct periods of learning and of working. We work while wc learn, and we learn while we work. Greater opportunity for skill and wisdom, and greater need for sincere devotion to country and to our fellow men, has seldom if ever faced the youth of America. lf you, the V941 graduates of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, apply your learning to better meet the ordinary situations of life, for the benefit of man and for the preserva- tion of our American ideals, continuing to learn as you go about life's work, you will justify your education here, and bring added renown to your alma mater. l believe you will do it. ,Ffa MW F i FT: ET H A N NIV E RS A R v o K LA H om A A., A Ngo M. , COL. lg EG Ei.. 5 ,F-'writ ETYH QA !S1,N'lV'E RSARY5' QK tilt't941qMg,,gjiQgtj.g':3f5pgfjji3efritfji,691-14 E618

fl Agfa A .Q Q, E l r 1 li l f Z E , . c i f ri Aeafzhw- E 2 , Dr. Henry G. Bennett, in his past thirteen years , as president of Oklahoma A. and hd. College, has become one of the most outstanding and promin- 'A ent educators in the nation. i Dr. Bennett, during his first year as A. and hi. A president, conceived a twenty-five year plan for the advancement and growth of our college. His interest, progressive ideas, and contributions have aided immeasurably in the development of men and colleges. So it is natural that We salute Dr. Henry G. Bennett, B. A., hi. A., Ph. D., Ll.

College was founded as the ffpeoples' college, dedicated to the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life . 'l'o this purpose the Institution has been unfalteringly true. As the College passes into its second half-century in the service of the practical needs of man, it does so with the intellectual and physical stature which places it in the forefront of institutions of higher education. 'We are confident that this College and the principles of democratic practical education for which it stands are just in the beginnings of an era of acceptance and service. This in no manner minimizes the services of the Institution as it exists today. Indeed, the promise of the future derives in no small measure from its capacity to meet fully and adequately the needs of today. F, Vfe must not narrow our conceptions of the College to its residential instruction only. Great as an institution must be in all ways to serve successfully a resident student body of sixty-five hundred, the demands upon it through its cooperation with the Federal Government both in the advancement of science and the service to farming and farm-related activities is of tremendous i importance. 'lihere is not a county in Oklahoma that is not reached by both aspects of the College's serv- ice. The years to come will see an even Greater and more effective service based upon the clianginr ncct s of n cn. i N vs ea t Q, . if g ' ' l , 1 - r. i l'F'l'li-IT'-EK f?-'E?5fiSliiiEf?SR'i'Z'Yfi ?C314 Qi4.f-ltiifiit-Zi. f9ij3,.fJ 'AND 1' CC'63i..'tg.E G E Fl FT: ET H A N N IV E R s A R Y o K LA H o M A A.
