A RECORD OF YOUR DAYS l l ollege--passport to a successful, prosperous future. just one cog in the vast wheel of higher education, the Uni- versity of Tulsa has become a topnotch storehouse of learning, a guide to life, better prepared to accept, improve and compromise. Not the product of several years, TU has grown up with Oklahoma, their histories are of the same ink, forever inseparable. Thirteen years before statehood, six Indian maidens met for instruction in a Presby- teran mission. There, near Muskogee, in the rich prairie land of Indian territory, the seeds of Tulsa university were planted. Wfhile 1907 not only marks Oklahoma statehood, it also dates the removal of the small school to a grassy, unsettled acreage east of Tulsa. Granted the rank of University in 1920, the college expanded its cur- riculum to include the colleges of fine arts, engineering, business, and law. Only the schools of liberal and fine arts retain an organic tie with the Presbyterian church. Abundant black gold brought increasing wealth and reknown to the Sooner State, and the Oil Capital of the Worldl' title to Tulsa. This black gold did even more, it now signifies the international fame of the University of Tulsa.

Tl-IE UNIVERSITY GF TULSA As Tulsa progressed in step with the modern tempo, along with her TU also grew, continually cleaning and bettering her wheels of guidance and instruction. Wforld Wfar II took a sharp slice in the enrollment, but there arose a natural sense of patriotism and pride among the students. After the war came an influx of vets, and a lively, yet restless generation, somewhat more mature and anxious to build a peaceloving citizenry. The veteran era slipped away into history, while dreams of peace soared near reality. Shortlived, this period of prospective harmony was abruptly halted with the Korean clash. Once again a wave of uncertainty swept away the calm, the khaki and blue returned, and once more our boys matched forth to defend the freedoms. Yet, through college work, we students more intently than ever, search for the stability that means peace. We are learning that just as we have found the way to win wars, we must now find the means for winning peace. College is one medium-and the best, through which we may meet this challenge. And, thus, the University of Tulsa serves both its country and its students. Attempting to record the true atmosphere and reflections of this school year, we dedicate the 1952 Kemirzllabrum to you, the students. 9 4, :Mir 0101 -2' I k A-7 el- -v 9 bf lil-III 'EB f-f WM' ' LQ!! .
