f ,V --'i -F'-' Even though things have changed at the university, due to the War, we still Want the yearbook to be a reflection of our university life. War has brought many students here from various points to become a part of our cam- pus. As such, they have been incorporated into our SOON ER as a large pro- portion of the student body. The activities of every student at the University of Oklahoma will be of interest to him many years after he is gone. I-Ie will Want a record of the time that he has spent here. l-le will want to look back, in later years, and see just what his school Was like during War-time. So will his parents, and his friends. lt was with this in mind that We planned the Global SOONER for this year. ln the ranks of the navy and army on the campus, We found those who proved to be capable and eager to co-operate in organizing their sections. Our paramount purpose and desire, during the rapid pace of the campus tempo on this revised campus, has been to create a book that will be of the most interest to the entire student body-the army, the navy, and the civilian students.

-k ir Although our life here is not the same as it was before the War, there is no reason for forgetting the numerous rights and privileges We hold and be thankful for them. The greatest right which We students have to be proud of is the right to education. We often have a lapse of memory when it comes to appreciating what a great privilege education is. Many courses of education, honorary organizations, and various campus activities are offered at our university. we have some of the finest professors in the United States, and our academic standing is one of the highest in the country. The most beautiful in the Southwest has been the phrase attached to the campus proper. The state of Oklahoma is ever proud of its institution of learning, the University of Oklahoma. Assembling this book seemed difficult this year, and our problems great, but at the completion of our task, those difficulties took to the rear march . We desire to dedicate this l944 Global SOONER Yearbook to the fighting Sooners in every corner of the World, and to those who have continued their study here in school. Those students connected with the separate army and navy sections have selected the feature pictures, decided upon the emphasis to be laid on the various and multiform activities of the campus servicemen, and in general, promoted the interests of the representative body. lt is our privilege to present to you students an account of the events of the past year at the University of Oklahoma.
