,F Administration ; ;:;:t The Presidenfs Greeting I HE annual Sooner appears as another scholastic year is drawing to a close. The year 1929-1930 has been a satisfactory one from every standpoint at the University of Okla- homa. Our students, as never before perhaps, have given proper emphasis to the varied activ- ities of college life. More students than ever before seem to have realized the primary purpose of coming to college by giving a full proportion of their time to serious study. But the students of the University have found time to participate in the social and recreational activities with-, out encroaching unnecessarily upon the time required for study. This book tells the story, as it is told in no other place, of the varied activities that engage the interests and occupy the time of the students of a great university. As one turns the pages of this volume he will find that life in a modern university is a complex of many things. One cannot survey these pages without realizing that college life to-day is rich in its possibilities of human associations. The comradeship of learning is the finest of all human associations for it provides for the development of human personality upon the basis of genuine and sincere rela- tions. I wish to extend to the students of the University my hearty congratulations on the accom- plishments of the year and to express my best wishes for the success of each of you in the years that are to come. The officials and faculty members of the University will take great pride in your accomplishments in future years. The institution has given to you the very best that it has in preparation for successful living on the high levels of honest endeavor and spiritual realities. Personally, I am glad that it is my high privilege to be associated year after year with this great student body whose future accomplishments mean so much to this state and nation. My hope and prayer for each of you is that rich rewards may result from your efforts and sacrifices during your college days, and that in the life of service that you live you may abundantly justify the state ' s expenditures in making a college education possible for you. Faithfully yours, W. B. BiZZELL. Page 33
