PRESIDENT W. B. BIZZELL GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT I wish to extend my hearty congratulations to the Editor, Business Manager and others who have assisted in bring- ing out the Sooner for the current year. I reahze that it is a difficult task to produce a book of this kind. Those who are responsible for the current issue are entitled to the praise of all of us who are connected with the Univer- sity. The Sooner covers a field of interest not otherwise sur- veyed by any publication of the University. It reflects the varied student activities in which members of the Univer- sity community have participated during the current year. It becomes, therefore, a record of important aspects of student life and serves to give us all a picture of the nu- merous student activities. I am sure that our students will value this year book very highly. It will become increasingly important through the years, as a reminder of the interesting days that all of us have enjoyed while connected in one way or another with the University. College life is rich in human experiences and friendly association and it is a wonderful privilege to be identified with a great educational community. It is my earnest hope and wish that every student in the University may get in- creasing satisfaction and joy in turning the pages of this volume as the years come and go. Sincerely yours, W. B. BlZZELL Dr. Bizzell acts as host to Emil Ludivig. noted biographer

Ledbetter, Oklahoma City Mr. Lloyd Noble, Ardmore Mr. Malcolm E. Rosser, Jr., Muskogee The Board of Regents is the governing body of the University of Oklahoma. This board, which was organized in 1919, is composed of seven members who are appointed by the Governor with the approval of the Senate and who serve definite terms of from one to seven years. At least three of the members must be alumni of the University. The President of the University is responsible to the Board and meets with them periodically to discuss University affairs and policies. The Board chooses the President, and appointments of other administrative officials and of members of the faculty must have its approval. All acts of the University administration are subject to the review of the Board, which may countermand them if it sees fit. The Regents are responsible only to the Legislature and may be removed only through impeach- ment or by legislative act changing the law by which the Board was created. Page 21

GREETINGS FROM THE GOVERNOR I extend to the faculty and students of tfie University of Oklahoma my greetings and my most sincere good wishes. I also desire to congratulate the students of this great educational institution because of the age in which you live. This may seem strange in the face of the extreme and unusual turmoil now existing in domestic and world af- fairs. The greatest opportunity for service, however, al- ways presents itself at the time of greatest need. The baffling social, political, and economic questions now de- manding attention will require a generation to solve. The opportunity is yours, to be of service in achieving a sane but progressive solution of these vital problems. I am confident that you will rise to the monumental oppor- tunity thus presented to you and that the present personnel of this great student body will have an important part in working out a new, more humane order that will enable mankind to be more prosperous, happier, and better. While I am sure that your greatest ambition is for ser- vice to your fellow man, I am not unmindful of the desire of every individual to make a success in a material way. May I also wish you success in all laudable efforts for your personal welfare. Sincerely, E. W. Marland GOVERNOR E. W.
