THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA.
This institution is rightly recogniz-
ed as tub educational institution of
Oklahoma,v and thk important col lege
above all others of this thriving young
common wealth; just, as the Universi-
ties of all states and territories in the
union are recognized, in and out of
their states, as lcudeis along educa-
tional lines. And this, too, is said
with no disparagement of other col-
leges. They are all doing a grand
work along their lines, in their
spheres, and long may they continue
so to do. They really act as prepar
atory schools to the I .liversity, which
is rapidly becoming the peer of any
college in the west in point of facili-
ties for a higher education, and is
being rccogniy, ?d as such by the larg-
er colleges of the country.
The past year's work has been a
grand one, far in advance of any for-
mer year, in all departments. The
attendance has been larger, the inter-
est taken by pupil and teacher gtea1-
er, the work more and more systema-
tized. every department furnished
with better facilites for enlarging its
work, and many new studies added.
The University in its several depart-
ments, this year graduates, some
Iwentv-fivn pupils, six of whom are
in the arts and sciences. Each of
them graduates with high honors,
amply prepared to take his or her
place in the world's battles; and
every student in all the classes is
more than ever in love with his stud-1
ies and ambitious lo beat the head. |
The University spirit is very streuu-
ous.
The management of the Universi-
ty thoroughly believes in the theory
that sQiind bodies make sound minds,

LET US REMLCMBEK
Next spring, along in April or
early May, that the rains seldom fail
us at this soason. We get demoral-
ized too readily when there is a little
dust, and the early vegetation be-
comes a little thirsty. All in all,
Oklahoma has never seen a better
season than the present one. It has
been favorable from the first id ay
farmers began to plow for wheat last
July, and there has hardly been a
break in it. The season is not alone
to blame for partial or total failure
of crops. Fanners get careless, and
some of them do their work in a slip-
shod and slovenly manner. Many
of them have come to believe that
crops will grow aud mature here
anyhow, and therefore, instead of go-
in e.' to work, preparing their ground,
and sowinu in good season, they put
nil' their work, scratch in their seed
with a oi-'-e harrow, ami pasture their
er >ps to death, and then
