Imperial to the State Capital.
Norman. Ok., Sept. 15.—The follow-
ing addreas was delivero?! by Pr -1-
dei.t Boyd at the opening of the*state
cbool Thursday:
•One can not* make Intelligent prep
aratlon to do a thing until he known
something of the thing he intends tis
do. A young person about to under-
take a college training is very gi ner-
nlly in the position of being about to
enter* upon a period of training in
preparation for his life work without
having chosen his life work. In the
very nature c/ tilings he can not make
the best choice of life work without he
knows something of the general char
for the student to do. The university
therefore ,$ls a place for real work;
continued, sustained, eaffi^t and fn-
lulllgently directed effort, it must bo
pursued with a definite purpose. The
university thurefore is a place to work
and not to play. As soon as pne finds
th.it ho must be amused; that he must
play: that he mus^ make this a place
of entertainment, he should leave tin*
university. There Is no room, no pluiv
for any one here but the worker—the
jotie who definitely purposes to develop
Uiis powers by directed 'activities. The
[purpose of the curriculum is to quick
en and strengthen the students—not
only to give them life, but* that they
may have it more abundantly. Inev-
itablv the use of tho curriculum le/ ds
i'.i
training in powe
to giving capaci
3 lead on<
In which he
gradually into the groove
Is to work cut his career.
"SEOOND—The university places at
the disposal of the student a plant that
is well selected and. arranged and that
includes the most modern appliances
for presenting the work of the curri-
culum the building and grounds rep-
resent an investment of approximately
ly $150,000.00. The equipment and ap-
pUBttll and books reprosent in round
numbers an investment of $110,000.00.
Practically all of the buildings and
equipments have been planned and
placed In position and supplied with
apparatus within less than four yery -
Noc ourse of study is proposed without
having the necessary ipn*iratus and
books give it in accordance with the
best standards cf state universities.
The library now has 15,000 bound vol-
umes and 3.000 pamphlets. We have
acle!* of the field through which the! paid up subscriptions to all the ieadi
course cf his future life is to lie. It newspapers and periodicals published
•/
Is one of the avowed alms ef ooUegt
training to give a young person this
knowledge.
"There is nothing more pathetically
lnteresting to one of mature year?, thai,
to see a young person confronted with
tlie necessity of selecting his course
tn life without the knowledge of the
world, of life, and of himself that
would aid him In making tho decision.
The college course must render the
student the double service of aiding
him In selecting his jcaieor and or
qualifying him for It. It is therefore
Important that in engaging in the work
of taking a college course that one
should know as clearly and compre-
hensively as possible the content and
the forces In the college curriculum
und In tho college life.
"It Is my purpose to-day to present
briefly what the university offers the
>/)ung fh in or woman who Is hero to-
, fclay ready to undertake the work of se-
curing the advantages that the uni-
versity offers.
"FIRST—The university offers 283
irourses of Instruction. These make ^in
aggregate work of 600 hours credit.
The first fact that strikes the average
student 1b that t^ere is much more of
Cored here than he can hope to study
or master. Ho Is called upon to exer-
cise his Judgment in making a choice
lit the very outset. Only six courses
covering 20 hours of work are pre-
scribed that he must tako. Experience
shows however that after the student
studies the first term he begins to: dis-
cover his own apltudea. Then new
field of knowledge thiFt ho has begun
<o explofe has appealed to his inter-
ests an'd he begins te be able to.make
selections that determine the direction
of his work. Ho will discover too that
the notion he had that the knoyled*?
to be acquired hers must be such as he
could use, must he modified; that
there Is no work that he can tnko and
do well, but what will give him
knowledge that will be available an!
jusefui In his life; will give his enjoy-
ment; and will develop his •powers.
He soon discovers that he can acquire
wore rapidly, that it becomes more
natural for him to coordinate and
subordinate his new ac4|uIstlon with
•what he already has acquired: that he
Is finding an increased enjoyment and
l>leaaure In extending his kno.wledge
find exercising his mental and spiri-
tual pow^is. As he progresses these
hecotme t him the reason for taking
only particular courses; 'and that In
fact very few 'o^ the courses are given
exclusively for the use that t^ie know-
ledfto that they contain will be to him.
Sdven those that are taken becausc of
their fundamental oharactur and be-
cause otf their use In carrying on fur.
tlier work, have appealed to his inter-
est, have givezf him pleasure and hast-
ened and qufcrkened his powers. He
noon discovers that there la scajyely a
course that ha can take but what ho
Binds his attention arrested by Its rh-
lation to other parts of the field of
knowledgei and In many ways It re-
quires >an effort to restrain his mind
from wandering without direction
through the related subjects o' know-
ledge. This makes it seem desirable
to him to know "something of every-
thing." but he has also diacovered too
that he likes "to know everything of
something." He is embarrassed by
the t onlH. t of, these opposite tenden-
cies to provide for this need. He Is
offered'* wide range ef selection so
\hat he e«n explore as" widely as pos-
sible the leading subjects during tho
liret two years. The plan of the cur-
riculum Is a compromise, and at the
end of the first two years he Is t ailed
upon te yield his desire "to study
something of everything" to his other
•need, thai of training In mastery; and
so he 1s called upon to accept the
guidance of some one specially train-
ed, sod pursue with thoroughness and
ccsrvpli'tenesa a selected line of work:
or ts Select his major or gre ter sub-
ject, and to thoroughly master It un-
d«r ttm guidance of the major profes-
mm; . t
"The curriculum of the University
then offers a wldo flohl for the plo^ of
the students and spiritual activities.
One's mental, spiritual and ohara<4er
growth depend a on tiie degree to which
his powers are made'artlve. In*tho
tmnrlcuktw there is so much work set,
will corns from your contact with
these Instructors.
®To, re at home in all l ouis: to
grasp as your own the spirit of all
ages; to count nature a famllar ac-
quaintance, and art an intimate friend;
to gain a standard fot*estimating and
valuing other men's work, and f">
criticism cf your own; to tarry tho
keys of the world's library In your own
pocket, and to feel Its resources be-
hind you Iff whatever task y<#i under-
take; to make hosts of friends among
the men of your own age, who are to
be leaders in all walks of llfe: to idfee
yourself In generous enthusiasnre, and
cooperate with .others for, rommoif
ends; to learn manners from students
who are gentlemen and to form char-
acter under the guidance of professors
Who exemplify the christian life. This
is the offer of the college for the beat
four years of your life."

tories, basket ball, football and all the
other features of the .school. In full

No sweeping, or radical changes In
the management of the school have
been Introduced as yet; but a number
of minor matters .have been attended
to, which meet the general approba-
tion of all concerned.

Death, has already borne away one
from Its number. It Is our sad duty
to record the passing beyond of Mable
Morgan, one of the brightest, most In-
fluential students of her class, stricken
down, suddenly, she almost at once
succumbed to a violent attack of ty-
phoid fever. The sad funeral cere-

in the country. A number of fi
literary and scientific periodicals are
included in this list. The material
equipment of the university is men- i various city churches. It will be left
tioned nc,t because it Is of tlfe most 1m- to the discretion of each student as to
portant of anything about the univ •. j which one of these church receptions
may attend the Invitations being
sit#-, but because it j,
part of Its organisatio ;l to those
who artf unfamiliar with university
policy It would indicate to them more
of its extent than the description of
any other of its resources. The build-
ings and grounds have ''been planned
with reference to: their artistic effects;
and naure, . as years gone on, will
heighten and Intensi/y their artistic
value.
"THIRD—The Influence that the
student finds at the university that is
mest potent in the formaeion of his
character, and which is most lasting in
his memory, Is tho student body ll. -
he meets several hundred young men
and young women of his own ;i^e', of
his own stage of development of char-
acter, cherishing similar ambitions, all
beckoned forward . with the sam •
splendid hopes. Hi re he comes in con-
tact with those who are to: take the
places made vacant by the circle of
friends lie his left. Standing vn hi.
own footing the student Is compelled to
measure himself with others of hia
own.age and rank. £fo caste Is rec-
ognized here. Absolute democracy
prevails la the attitude of each «.r the
Student body toward the other. To a
greater extent than in any other place
in the country is a man Judged bore
by his fellows, on his own merits.
Hosts of the most lasting of all frien I-
shlps ,'i re made'here among those who
are to be leaders in all lines of work
in the commonwealth In the years t.
generaf and not individual.
The first faculty meeting was held
in the presidents office Wednesday
evening. Only matters of school ad-
ministration were canvassed. Less
than one hour's time was consumed.
Miss Seitrlng is diligently locking
after her basket ball girls; and Prof*
