HE REDSKIN REPRESENTS different phases of life on the Oklahoma State University campus. In it We have attempted to capture various moods of that life, and we sincerely hope this book will appeal to all of you. A university is much more than an educational insti- tution. It is a motivating factor in the lives of every one of us. To the freshman, it means the beginning of a life filled with many new and novel experiences. For the first time, he is free to make his own decisions, to sink or swim, de- pending upon his goals in life. To the senior, it means the closing of one door and the opening of another. He is ready to utilize the benefits to which he has been exposed. To the professor, a university symbolizes guidance in the development of future generations and the opportunity for exploring the realms of the hitherto unknown in his field of concentration. To the alumnus, it means the chance to reminisce-to go back to the youth he remem- bers only occasionally. And, finally, to the parents it means an opportunity to visualize the environment in which his child lives for four years. This book is our summation of the achievements of the students, the faculty, the administration . . . of the uni- versity in this year of 1958. These days have been the most pleasant and the most exciting of all our lives, but now they are just memories-lingering memories which are to be cherished as long as you live. , , .M as , i ' ii xgiegil ' , f .s.1fgZa,,4 M
