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
