History of Oklahoma State University

The story of Oklahoma State University began on Christmas Eve, 1890, at the McKennon Opera House in Oklahoma’s territorial capital of Guthrie when Territorial Governor George W. Steele signed legislation establishing an Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC) in Payne County. OAMC’s first students assembled for class on December 14, 1891, even though there were no buildings, no books, and no curriculum. The college’s first students attended classes in the Stillwater Congregational Church. The original campus consisted of 200 acres of prairie that were donated by four local homesteaders. The college’s first six graduates received their diplomas in 1896.

Visitors to the OSU campus often marvel at its beauty and consistency of architecture. Much of the credit goes to legendary president, Henry G. Bennett, who served from 1928-1951. Dr. Ben-nett’s 25-year campus master plan envisioned some of the university’s most famous and beautiful structures, including the Edmon Low Library and the OSU Student Union. Under the direction of OSU President Burns Hargis, a new campus master plan is guiding unprecedented construction that is making OSU more competitive in academics and athletics. Starting in the fall of 2008, OSU has opened the Multimodal Transportation Terminal, the North Classroom Building, the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium, refurbished Old Central, the Donald W. Reynolds Architec-ture Building, an upgraded Murray Hall, the Henry Bellmon Research Center, an updated and expanded Student Union, the Greenwood Tennis Center, the north wing to the College of Human Sciences building, an upgraded Atherton Hotel in the Student Union, the innovative University Commons residential complex and dining facility, the crescent-shaped business building, and the world-class ENDEAVOR facility for interdisciplinary research. The magnificent McKnight Center for the Performing Arts is the latest addition to the campus, opening with the New York Philharmonic in October 2019. Hall of Fame Avenue on the north and University Avenue on the south, as well as core north-south artery Monroe Street, have all been significantly upgraded, and the university continues to update its campus landscape plan, including the addition of a Welcome Plaza southeast of the Student Union.

OSU grew quite rapidly following World War II. The post-war years were marked by a huge enrollment surge and the thriving “Veteran’s Village” on the northwest edge of campus as veterans and their families moved into surplus military housing provided by the college. The mid-1940s also were a golden era for athletics at Oklahoma A&M. In a 90-day period in early 1945, OAMC teams won the Cotton Bowl, the NCAA championship in wrestling, and the NCAA championship in basketball. In 2016, the undefeated 1945 football team was retroactively awarded the national championship trophy by the American Football Coaches Association. In 1946, the wrestling and basketball teams repeated as national champions, and the football team won the Sugar Bowl.

Coaches and players from that era are now sports legends. Coach Henry Iba set a national stan-dard in basketball and Edward Gallagher took OAMC wrestling teams to international prominence.

People often ask when OSU made the transition from college to university. By the 1950s the college had grown substantially. Suggested names for a “new” institution were “Great Plains University,” “International University,” and “Atomic University.” In 1957, OAMC became The Oklahoma State University for Agriculture and Applied Science. During the next three decades, OSU would build academic programs to match its new status. Enrollment more than doubled from 10,385 in 1957 to more than 23,000 in the 1980s. OSU became a statewide university system, add-ing branches in Okmulgee in 1946 and Oklahoma City in 1961. OSU merged with the Oklahoma College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988, and OSU-Tulsa was born in 1999.

Today, OSU has 35,000 students across five campuses and a presence in every Oklahoma county through its extension offices and experiment stations. From six graduates in 1896, to 5,000 annually today, the small college on the prairie has grown and prospered far beyond the dreams of its founders. OSU teaching, research and graduates are making a bigger impact on the lives of people around the world than ever before. It’s a great time to be a Cowboy!

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain,And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet

When the wind comes right behind the rain.Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I

Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin' lazy circles in the skyWe know we belong to the land

And the land we belong to is grand!And when we say -Yeeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!

We’re only sayin' You’re doin' fine, Oklahoma!Oklahoma - O.K.

The list of fall 2019 degree candidates was prepared before final grades were reported, andinclusion herein does not constitute evidence of graduation. Final action to ensure an accuratelisting of names of all persons qualified for degrees could not be compiled before this programwent to print.

The robes, hats and hoods worn by faculty members and graduates as they march into the commencement hall, as well as the different colors you see on them, have historical origins and significance.

During the Middle Ages, scholars at the earliest English and European universities wore wool or fur garments to stay warm in the drafty, stone buildings that were poorly heated. Most of the scholars were also monks or priests, and as such had the hair shaved from the crowns of their heads in the distinctive clerical tonsure. Most wore cloaks that included a hood that could be pulled up to keep their heads warm. The academic gowns and hoods were adapted from both secular and clerical garments of the time, and the hood was chosen by the early scholars to indicate by color, trim or binding the degree held by the wearer.

The style of academic dress most frequently worn in the United States dates back to colonial times, although it was not formally adopted until near the end of the 19th Century, when it was chosen as appropriate attire by the Intercollegiate Commission during a meeting in New York. It has remained the general standard in America since, although some variations occur at individual institutions. In the United States, black is the traditional color for academic gowns, although some institutions allow holders of doctoral degrees to wear robes in the university’s colors.

The sleeves of the robes vary, depending on the degree held by the wearer. The bachelor’s robe has long, pointed sleeves. The master’s robe has sleeves that are oblong and closed at the ends, with slits through which the arms may be extended. The doctoral robe has a full sleeve with a velvet facing on the front and at the neck, and three velvet bars on each sleeve. The velvet may be black or of a color that symbolizes the degree held by the wearer.

The head covering most commonly used in the United States is the square, tasseled “mortarboard.” Some American universities, however, use berets, and in other countries a variety of styles of head coverings is worn with academic regalia. The tassel is usually black and is worn over the left front quarter of the mortarboard. Holders of doctoral degrees may wear gold tassels.

The hood is the most distinctive feature of American academic dress, which through color and design may indicate the wearer’s degree and the institution at which that degree was earned. Hoods are lined with the colors of the institution that awards the degree, and may be faced with the color designating the degree awarded. Hoods vary in length. The bachelor’s hood is about three feet long, the master’s slightly longer and the doctoral version is longer still and is decorated with broad color panels.

Candidates for advanced or professional degrees wear hoods symbolic of the degree. The color of the trim of the hood and the sleeve chevrons and panels of the academic gown are distinctive of the degree as follows: Degree: Gown: Hood:

Master of Science Golden Yellow Collar

The colors of Oklahoma State University are embodied in the lining of the hood (orange and black chevron). The colors of the hoods of faculty and guests are those of the institution conferring the degree. In addition to the academic regalia described above, some students wear cords, sashes, ribbons, and other symbols of heritage or achievement in academics, service, and leadership.
