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.
Bennett’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. 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 new Multimodal
Transportation Terminal, the new North Classroom Building, the west end zone of Boone Pickens
Stadium, refurbished Old Central, the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building, an upgraded
Murray Hall, the new Henry Bellmon Research Center, an updated and expanded Student Union,
the Greenwood Tennis Center, and the innovative University Commons residential complex. 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.
OSU grew quite rapidly following World War II. The post-war years were marked by a huge
enrollment surge. Some graduates from that era may remember “Veteran’s Village,” a thriving
community that developed 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. The next
year, 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
standard 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, adding 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 more than 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 nearly 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 sky
We 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!

Distinguished Service Award
Ross and Billie McKnight

Ross and Billie McKnight
Ross and Billie McKnight are entrepreneurs,
philanthropists, art patrons and Oklahoma
State University graduates who for years have
invested their time and energy in OSU. The
McKnights met while students at Oklahoma
State, while Ross was an animal science senior
and Billie was a freshman working toward a
degree in business administration.
From the time that Ross served as Student
Government Association President,
Billie and Ross have shared a deep and lasting desire to provide meaningful assistance
to their alma mater and its students to enable them to reach their maximum potential.
They co-chaired OSU’s Branding Success campaign, which raised $1.3 billion. As a part
of that campaign, the McNights established the McNight Leader Scholars Program. It
provides scholarships and unique leadership-development opportunities for 50 out-of-state
freshmen and nearly 150 additional upperclassmen each year. Ross also co-chaired the
Next Level Campaign, which raised more than $100 million for OSU’s football stadium
expansion project. Their continuing commitment to OSU was recently demonstrated
when they announced a $25 million gift creating an endowment to support world-class
programming for the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts at Oklahoma State
University, construction for which will begin soon.
Billie and Ross have also been very engaged for a number of years in raising funds to
support Baylor Scott and White, one of the nation’s premiere health care providers.
Ross serves as Chair-elect of that Board. They are benefactors of such performing arts
organizations as Bravo Vail and the New York Philharmonic orchestra.
The McKnights built their home in Throckmorton, Texas. They have extremely successful
careers in ranching, oil and gas, and banking. They are also deeply involved in their
community, which has a population of less than 850. Billie has served in leadership roles
on the school board and the Band Boosters and Parents’ Club. She founded Community
Closet to provide clothing to those in need, and organized a Christmas Angels program
through several churches to purchase gifts for community children. Ross was president of
the Throckmorton County Farm Bureau for many years and was chairman of the Texas
4-H Youth Development Foundation’s statewide Campaign 2000.
Billie is a founding member of the Annie Oakley Society, an Annie’s Legacy member
and on the Annie Oakley Society Leadership Team of the National Cowboy &
Western Heritage Museum. She was named Women for Oklahoma State University’s
Philanthropist of the Year in 2015. Ross was honored with the Distinguished Alumni
Award in 1996, a Graduate of Distinction of the Department of Animal Science in 1998,
and the Animal Science Distinguished Alumni 2014.
Billie and Ross have two children, Trent and Meggan, who are third-generation OSU
alumni, and two grandchildren.

Additional Fall 2015 Degree Recipients
OSU fall degree candidates are invited to participate in the OSU fall commencement ceremony, and
their names are listed in the fall commencement book. However, because the fall commencement
book goes to print shortly after November 1, it is not possible to include candidates who apply
for graduation after that date. This section recognizes these degree recipients, some of whom will
participate in today’s ceremony.

Academic Regalia
The robes, hats and hoods worn by faculty members and graduates as they march into the commencement
hall, and even 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:

The colors of the hoods of faculty and guests are those of the institution conferring the degree.

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.
Bennett’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. 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 new Multimodal
Transportation Terminal, the new North Classroom Building, the west end zone of Boone Pickens
Stadium, refurbished Old Central, the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building, an upgraded
Murray Hall, the new Henry Bellmon Research Center, an updated and expanded Student Union,
the Greenwood Tennis Center, and the innovative University Commons residential complex. 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.
OSU grew quite rapidly following World War II. The post-war years were marked by a huge
enrollment surge. Some graduates from that era may remember “Veteran’s Village,” a thriving
community that developed 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. The next
year, 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
standard 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, adding 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 more than 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 nearly 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!
