PUBLIC SUPPORT OF INSTITUTION
CROWS AND ENROLMENT CLIMBS
AFTER LONG DISSENSION ENDS
School Wins Way to High Rating In Nation's
Educational Circles Loyal Faculty Gets
Much Credit for Advance
I By MEREDITH WILLIAMS
Oklahoma City University looks new but actually it had its genesis
86 years ago when the first of its predecesors was founded at 'Fort
Worth as Texas Wesleyan College in 1881
So if it lacks the ivyelad walls and columns stained with the tears
of disheartened sophomores and all the other outward habiliments of
great age which make alumni so eager to die for dear old Rutgers it
is only because its campus is comparatively new and its buildings of
recent vintage
This is due mainly to the moving of the university from one place
to another a college phenomenon perhaps not altogether dissociated
with the incapacity of Methodists to see things from precisely the same
viewpoint since the churches split into two factions north and south
in 1844
For Oklahoma City Univeisny is now and always has been a Metho-
dist institution though it has never been sectarian in a sense that
It has limited students to one particular faith or shown any pref-
erence save in the church's own student loan funds for Methodist
boys and girls
The Methodist church 's schism was an outgrowth of the issues which
led to the war for the Southern Confederacy and with this division
came the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church South leav-
ing what is often alluded to as the North Church to be known as the
Methodist Episcopal Church
Movement to Establish College
Here Initiated by Anton II Classen
For many years Methodists have dreamed of a reunion of these
two great branches of Protestant faith and it was such a dream in
part at least which prompted the late Anton H Classen of Oklahoma
City to propose the establishing of a Methodist educational institution
here
Mr Ciassen a city builder extraordinary began to talk of the plan
for a college to be operated jointly by the two branches of Methodism
as early as 1900 Two years later his plan had taken definite form and
had been discussed with leaders in both the northern and southern
churches The plan for joint management was received with enthusiasm
everywhere within the two organizations
But it was not until 1904 that the conferences of the two church
groups formally approved the plan and decided the school should be
known as Epworth University
Being desirous of perpetuating the Joint management of the in-
stitution Mr Classen specified that the land he was to give for the
establishing of the campus should revert to him or his heirs in the
event it was abandoned by the churches as site of an educational plant
He then deeded the churches 56 acres at NW 18th-st and Douglas-
av together with a 840000 building and an endowment of like propor-
tions Epworth University then opened in September 1904
Dr R B McSwain a noted Methodist educator of the period was
named first chancellor of the university and Dr George Childs Jones
who then was operating a military academy at Putnam Heights north-
west of the city was elected vice-chancellor
Early Enrolment Was Small
But School Spirit Ran High
Membership on the board of trustees was divided equally between
the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church
South and the university's career was begun with great promise of
endless harmony
In short while Dr McSwain's failing health forced him to retire and
the Rev Dr George H Bradford of Kansas City was chosen to suc-
ceed him as chancellor
Dr Bradford was a man of vast energy and enthusiasm a tire-
less worker a good judge of the value of publicity and he possessed a
winning personality Epworth University prospered under his adminis-
tration and he soon recommended the appointment of Dr Ernest T
Bynum as his vice-chancellor
Another go-getter C S McCreight who since has made a success
In the insurance brokerage business here was named registrar The
enrollment was swelled by the academy department and even in 1907
when Albert L McRill attorney and former city manager enrolled
there were as he recalls it fewer than 100 students taking the col-
lege courses
What the university lacked in numbers it made up in school spirit
and often there was a phenomenal attendance of 500 or more at its
football games and the countryside echoed raucous rahs for Old Epworth
School Is Broken Up As Two
Church Groups Engage In Quarrel
From a football standpoint the school had no peers in the state
for several years It managed once to tie the University of Oklahoma
Sooners and plastered an overwhelming defeat on Oklahoma A it M
College In 1909 and 1910 its pigskin gladiators made collegiate gridiron
history and almost everyone was sanguine of the institution's future
Trouble was brewing interne however and the two church groups
In 1911 decided to dissolve the joint management of the school The
Methodist Episcopal Church determined to move to Guthrie the seat
of its higher education activities in Oklahoma while the Southern
Methodists decided to concentrate on the Texas area
Despite the internal difficulties and the consequent failure to obtain
widespread public support the university had done well in viritually
all branches of its activity
Expansion had been rapid under the leadership of Dr Bradford
and in 1909 there were colleges or departments of Liberal Arts Medicine
Law Pharmacy Dentistry Commercial Engineering Teachers' Training
Elocution Music Art Meteorology and a Graduate School
The schools of Medicine and Law became a part of the University
of Oklahoma In the Epworth days the faculty of these two schools
numbered several professional men who still are active here
U S District Judge Edgar S Vaught was a lecturer in the law
school and so were Attorneys Walter Lybrand and Henry G Snyder
The late Judge C B Ames was dean of the school The staff included
Judge J R Keaton Frank Wells and the late Judge Frederick B Owen
Long Court Contest Results
Over Claims for Campus Here
In the medical school the staff included Die A M: Young A D
Young H Coulter Todd Horace Reed and others Among the early
graduates were Drs Fenton Sanger and W W Wells
After 1911 with the removal to Guthrie where the old capitol was
occupied as an administration building the school became known as
Oklahoma Methodist University It was then the union was effected
with Fort Worth University which had succeeded the old Texas Wesleyan
College
Dr Bradford remained as chancellor of the institution after the
removal to Guthrie but a short time afterward he resigned The vice
chancellor William Fielding succeeded him
Chancellor Fielding had only a brief tenure and then Dr Edward
His lop was brought in from Nebraska The school continued to grow
and enjoyed reasonable prosperity at Guthrie After Chancellor His lop
came Chancellor E G Green now head of the educational division of
the Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co here
Meanwhile the Methodist Church South had refused to recognize
the reversionary clause which Mr Classen 'had inserted in the deed for
the original campus A long and bitter lawsuit resulted
Attorneys for the church contended that it had been well understood
by all concerned when the university was established that the land
was an outright gift to the churches
The court hearings were conaucted before the late District Judge
George W Clark and at length he decided the case in favor of the
church The decision was appealed but finally was upheld by the
Supreme Court
Institution Returns Here In
1919 As Oklahoma City College
Then a compromise was effected by which the Methodist Church
South was given the central portion of the old Epworth University
property which is today the plant of Epworth Methodist Church South
at 1801 N Douglas-ay
The church still makes use of the old building built for the university
although an addition long since was erected
In 1917 the Methodist Episcopal Church began to talk of removing
the university at Guthrie most of its leaders believing that there was
a better chance for expansion if the school were re-established at Okla-
homa City
After lengthy discussion and planning the institution was returned
to the capital This time it was quartered at NE 12th-st and Walnut-av
in a remodeled apartment house where it Was ready for the business
of teaching the young folk in April 1919
Two years later the board of trustees bought 25 acres fronting
on Blackwelder-av between NW 23rd and 25th-sts In 1925 the
Campus was extended by the purchase of 15 acres' lying between NW
25th and 27th-ate west of Florida-ay
The school became known as Oklahoma City College after the
removal here from Guthrie and as such it was established in the new
administration building on the present campus in December 1022
later the Institution was re-chartered as Oklahoma City University

and all the graduates of its predecessors including Texas Wesleyan
College Port Worth University Epworth University and Oklahoma
Methodist University were by special action of the board of trustees
recognized as university &Kann' with their academic degrees fully
recognized and accredited
Policy of Turning Out Highly
Specialized Graduates Abandoned
When Dr Green retired from the chancellorship the Rev Dr
Eugene M Antrim was elected president of the university The school
was hit hard by the economic depression and Dr Antrim retired
after a successful administration of academic affairs He was succeeded
by A G Williamson D D now head of the university
Oklahoma city University now maintains Colleges of Pine Arts
Liberal Arts and has departments of Journalism Geology Religious
Education and Political Science
It has abandoned the original purpose of turning out highly special-
ized graduates and now labors to provide men and women with a
liberal education In the language of the board of trustees "To send
forth men and women of culture and vision who will exert a wholesome
Influence on the life of their generation"
In 1929 the first step was taken to restore Joint control 'of the
school and at that time the Methodist Church South made a payment
into the school's treasury with the intent of resuming its official connec-
tion with the institution
Joint Ownership Is Restored
And School Builds Big Enrolment
Joint ownership again became a reality in 1935 when the charter
was revised and each branch of the church again was given equal
representation on the board of trustee& Membership of the board now is:
President R J Benzel Vice-President S H Babcock of McAlester
Treasurer V V Harris and Secretary M L Simpson I W Armstrong

Oklahoma City University today has an enrolment of more than
1100 students With almost 800 of them enrolled for complete campus
activities
Its magnificent administration building fronts on NW 24th-st at
Blackwelder-av where its English-Gothic facade and its dominating
tower may be seen for miles around In this building the university's
offices and many of its laboratories and classrooms are established
In the nearby Fine Arts Building which was erected in 1928 are 18
classrooms various studios and an auditorium with a seating capacity of
more than 1400
Endowments Are Increasing and
3Iany Scholarships Are Established

Its endowments are increasing the most recent being the $50000
Wootten Scholarship Endowment established by Effie Dalton Wootten
as a memorial to her late husband Richard Kelley Wootten of Chicka-
sha The purpose of this endowment is to aid students who are seeking
a Christian education and each beneficiary is required to sign a note
calling for repayment of one-half the cash value of the scholarship
granted him
The Francis Mason Riley and Martha Washington Rodgers Riley
Chair of Religious Education was endowed with 850000 in the will of
the late Mr Riley to maintain perpetually a professorship in the Depart-
ment of Religion

THE OKLAHOMA NEWS
Many City Students Afforded
Opportunity for College Education
There are many other student aid sources including the university's
own self-help bureau which aids students searching for part-time em-
ployment while attending school the loan fund maintained by the
Methodist Episcopal Church the Christian Workers' Education Fund of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South limited to those preparing for
some form of Christian work who are members of the South church the
John A Brown loan fund the Fred G Casey Memorial loan fund the
Sigma Alpha Iota fund the Oklahoma City Rotary Club loan fund
and the Mary E Harris loan fund which is available to women students
who wish to negotiate small loans for short periods
Social life at the university is like that of any other American
educational institution of its class There are social and honorary fra-
ternities Christian associations and other organizatons
While the student body includes many from other states the ma-
jority naturally are residents of Oklahoma The school has a state-
wide appeal and is by no means dominated by students who happen
to live in Oklahoma City
None the less it has afforded many an Oklahoma City boy and
girl an opportunity to obtain a college education when he could not
have gone beyond high school if he had been forced to seek it else-
where with the expense of living away from home
The university always has been able to hold up its head in big
company scholastically and from a standpoint of athletic prowess and
prestige It has figured in a number of intersectional football games
which attracted nation-wide attention and its graduates have become
leaders in the business and professional world throughout the country
Faculty Is Loyal Working for
Fraction of Specified Salaries
In its effort to reach out toward young folk seeking Chrisian edu-
cation it has established a downtown school where classes are conducted
at night for persons who are employed during daylight hours Often
as many as 100 different courses are offered in this downtown school
from which students may receive full college credit
Correspondence courses also are offered those unable to attend
classes
Despite the hard struggle to maintain a university or any other
institution not getting direct public assistance in the last few years
the faculty of Oklahoma City University has remained intensely loyal
to the school
Professors have worked for only a fraction of the salaries specified
In their contracts
Some of the state's early day educators still retain a connection with
the faculty as emeritus professors Among these is Dr Angelo C Scott
professor emirtus of English literature Dean Emeritus Benjamin Frank-
lin Nihart who retired only a few years ago and Alice Cowles Conk ling
professor emeritus of English
One of the most beloved teachers the university ever had is Mrs
Thomas G Chambers Sr widow of the late distinguished district judge
Her son Thomas Gavin Chambers Jr now an attorney here used to
be a star on the football team in the days of 25 years ago when DeWitt
Waller now superintendent of schools at Enid was the star of stars
and Clyde Becker now a widely known geologist living at Chickasha
was one of the fastest ball-toters in the West
Despite indifferent financial support at times the school's record has
steadily been one of progress It has grown normally extending Its
influence over broader fields from year to year
Its friends regard it as one of Oklahoma City's greatest assets and
a credit to the entire Southwest

But the public generally does not
realize how much is required to
operate an institution of this kind
a modern university Many citizens
believe the university should be fi-
nanced adequately by taxation
If the city owned the university
a very small tax levy would be slit-

could be reduced and the school's
