OF OKLAHOMA WE rE With this, the 1946 SOONER, the students of the University of Okla- homa, wish to recognize and pay tribute to those who have made this great University possible. This recognition includes the first inhabitants of what is now Oklahoma, the Indians. It includes the hardy pioneers who came here before Statehood, those who made the Run, those who settled in the hills of the eastern part of the State, those who chose the level country of the western half of Oklahoma and those who selected the river bottoms in the southern sector of the Commonwealth. This recognition also includes the merchant who brought his wagonload of merchandise, the lawyer who carried his law books under his arm, the doctor who came to this new country full of hope and ambition, the oil prospector — and all the others who took their places in the professional and business life of Oklahoma. We wish to pay tribute to those who have supported the Univer- sity through times of adversity and misunderstanding until it has now emerged as one of the great educational institutions of the world. This group includes the legislators and law-makers of the State, members of the Board of Regents, members of the faculty, alumni, former students, parents of students, business and professional lead- ers and the great host of friends of the University. To all these people and to all others, known and unknown, who have given aid and encouragement to the University of Oklahoma, this 1946 Sooner is respectfully dedicated. PC
