Interesting Stunt by
University of Okla.
The University of Oklahoma is
arranging to get personally writ-
ten letters from all members of
the institution and the alumni who
went into the army, giving their
experiences. These letters will
be written on Y. M. C. A. paper, or
paper similar in size, and will be
bound in alphabetical order, thus
giving a splendid history of the
war from every standpoint. There
will be t^ver 2000 of them.
As a sample of what the letters
will contain, the following written
by Capt. Hughes B. Davis, is a
glowing example Captain Davis
was assistant high school inspec-
tor at the time of his enlistment.
He writes:

Dr. Stratton D. Brooks,
President University of Okla.,
Norman, Oklahoma.
Dear President and Friend:
Replying to your letter of a
short time ago, asking for our ex-
periences since entering the war,
works rather a hardship on some
of us, coming after the censorship
has been lifted. Before the cen-
sorship was lifted we could hint
at all kinds of excitement, which
we. of course, were unable to give
in detail because of the strict
censorship rules. Now we must
adhere to the facts, and facts re-
carding the life forty miles behind
the lines are not very exciting. 1
believe every man who entered the
service and was fortunate enough
to serve through the war has been
benefited by his experience.
Since entering the service 1
have been stationed at several dif
ferent places and have found Ok-
lahoma University men every-
where I have gone and they have
been considred among the best
The first company 1 wa« in was
made un largely of Cleveland
county boys. I had the pleasure
of doing "K P" with Professor
Alonzo H Stang, and he was just
i..-i careful and efficient in hand
ling the pots and pans in the kitch-
ei he was in the finest "lab"
at school. In fact I believe it was
our good work at K. P. that kepi
both of us out of the awkward
squad. I went from there to the
field artillery. Found several O.
U. boys in my battery. Anytime
there I desired to be reminded of
a freshman being ridden on a
board, I only had to take a look at
Roy U. Woods astride a big wheel1
horse at a fast trot. In the train-
ing camp a goodly per cent were
Oklahoma University boys, and
almost without exception they se
cured commissions. I went from
the training camp to the Tank-
Corps, Gettysburg, • Pa,, where
again I found Oklahoma Universi-
ty boys. The Camp at Gettysburg
is situated on the old battlefield
and my quarters were located in
the old peach orchard famous in
Pickett's charge. I stayed at
Camp Colt so long handling re-
cruits that I think I will be able to
go back after it is all over and act
as a battlefield guide
I came over on the steamship
Leviathan, the old "Vaterland."
On board T met Jones, formerly
with "Wissie" at the Varsity Shop
On board I was police officer and
1 found my former experience on
"K. P." served me in good stead.
We spent a few days in England,
and several of the boys said that
they had always been of the opin
ion that the people of England
spoke English, but found when
they began to converse with the
natives that they were badly mis
taken. We crossed the channel in
a "tub" and many of those who
b":'ste'l about, crossing the Atlan
tic without getting seasick were
strangely silent the next morning

It is no idle dream that fills our
mind today concerning the future
of our city; your town as well as
my town Judging the future by
the past we see no reason why
anyone should hesitate and doubt
the fulfillment of progress in the
development of our city
The first settlers when they
slept on the grass-covered land
where Norman now stands would
not dared to have had such dreams
as the fulfillment the last thirty
years have brought forth; from
the primitive ox teams that then
filled our streets, until the pres-
ent time, when airplanes like
eagles pass over our heads. The
land where the State University
now stands was covered with un-
broken sod and carpeted in the
spring time with wild flowers.
Who should doubt the future?
Who should withhold their hand in
giving support to prospective im-
provements ? The past proves the
possibility of the future What
has been done can be done again.
Take hold of the rope and help

Support the efforts of the newly

A city is blind and helpless that
does not give unstinted aid to
the various committees of the
Chamber of Commerce. They are
working for our city without mon-

do will help make "The University
City" a bigger and better tity.

Legislators Will
He Here Jan. 29th.
In accordance with a suggestion
made by Gov. J. B. A. Robertson,
that members of the Oklahoma
Legislature should visit the towns
and cities in the state that have
state institutions, so that they may
personally see such institutions,
get an idea of the work they are
doing, and ascertain their needs,
the legislature voted yesterday to
come in a bodj( to Norman ore
Wednesday, January 29th and!
visit the University of Oklahoma
and the Oklahoma State Hospital
It was emphacized, however, that
it was to be no "junket", but a
business visit, and that they did
not expect nor desire a reception,
banquet or anything of that sort.
Tlie time of their arrival will he-
given so that the citizens in auto-
mobiles may meet the interurbam
cars and escort the visiting states-
men to the two institutions The
Chamber ,pf Commerce will have
charge of this feature and have
plenty of machines to accommo-
date th^m.
