2 The University of Tulsa
Greetings From President Upham
Dear Friends,
In early 2006, when The University of Tulsa Board of Trustees
unanimously voted to undertake the Embrace the Future Campaign,
the $400 million goal seemed challenging, if not outright daunting
for a school with only 30,000 living known alumni. But the new
campaign’s goals were clear and compelling – the result of months
of strategic analysis and discussion involving trustees, faculty, staff,
and students.
Rather than focusing on the question of how much money
we thought could be raised, we focused on making an honest and
thorough assessment of what TU would need in the coming years
to maintain the momentum of its programs and residential campus; to enhance its position as
a national competitor and, ultimately, to be recognized as one of the nation’s top-tier doctoral
universities. Throughout this process, we challenged ourselves to integrate the needs and
opportunities of greater Tulsa in all our plans for advancing TU’s future.
Thanks to the leadership and optimism of Campaign Co-Chairs Roxana and Bob Lorton
(see p. 11), the energetic assistance of a dedicated Campaign Cabinet (see p. 54), and – most of
all – the overwhelming generosity of a remarkable group of donors, TU’s Embrace the Future
Campaign proceeded to shatter all previous TU fundraising records – and its own lofty goal.
The final total of more than $698 million includes more than 138,000 gifts and represents a 75
percent increase over the campaign’s target. A large percentage of dollars were given by nonalumni who expressed, time and again, their belief that “What is good for TU is also good for
Tulsa.”
Our campaign result is especially remarkable because it was achieved during a stubbornly
recessionary economy. Despite the troubling economic environment, TU’s friends and partners
have been resolute, magnanimous and inspiring, as they have stepped forward to equip TU for a
new decade of excellence.
We are pleased to bring you this Registry of Patrons publication as a tribute to those who
helped us surpass our vision by investing so generously in TU’s future. Their gifts have already
begun raising the facilities, delivering the scholarships, funding the faculty and growing the
programs that will define TU’s next dynamic chapter. On behalf of the entire TU family, I thank
each and every donor who chose to invest in The University of Tulsa, and I join you in keen
anticipation of many wonderful returns in the years ahead.
Best regards,
Steadman Upham
President
Embrace the Future 3
From Past to Future
The impact of the Embrace the Future Campaign comes both
from its history-making $698 million total and from the effort’s
strategic alignment with TU’s steady progress of the past 20 years.
The TU Board of Trustees set the direction for that
progress during the late 1980s with a master plan for campus
development. That plan embodied the university’s desire to
evolve from a regional school with a predominantly offcampus population into a highly competitive university with
4 The University of Tulsa
broad national draw, increasingly selective admissions and a
vibrant, fully residential campus.
Energized by this vision, TU conducted the New Century
Campaign of 1993-98, which co-chairs Roxana and Bob Lorton
led to a successful completion, having raised a total of $108
million for campus facilities, scholarships and faculty support.
As TU began transforming its campus with new facilities,
trustees and administrators aggressively focused on raising TU’s
national presence, establishing alumni chapters and clubs in
key cities, improving its attention to donor relationships and
broadening its recruiting strategies. (Competitive success in
Conference USA and the accompanying national television
exposure aided these efforts.)
In 2005, President Steadman Upham engaged administrators
and trustees in a series of discussions about the strengths,
aspirations and needs of the new TU. The analysis included
review of the university’s programs, finances, student body
profile, competitors and relationship with the Tulsa community.
Leaders concluded that TU should continue to work toward
the ambitious goal of a U.S. News and World Report Top 50
ranking. Aside from the inherent prestige of such a standing, the
process of achieving it would require consistent, coordinated
improvement across the full scope of the university’s operations.
To help translate this broad vision into specific line-item needs,
leaders identified six strategic “cornerstones” – lines of effort that
would build on TU’s strengths while raising key performance
measures. TU would enhance its resources to:
Recruit and retain top students – particularly with increased
scholarships;
Advance scholarship, research and economic development
– building on TU’s distinguished research tradition, industry
partnerships and strengths as a doctoral university;
Realign the curriculum for an increasingly international world
– an effort to introduce new language courses such as Chinese and
Portuguese, new faculty in disciplines such as international business,
and enhanced support for study abroad experiences;
Extend TU’s legacy of community partnership and service –
especially in cultural outreach through the performing arts;
Build TU’s reputation in NCAA Division I athletics – with
expanded facilities, athletic scholarships and operating support; and
Acquire and maintain the tools of learning – with a special focus
on expanding and renovating McFarlin Library for the digital age.
These cornerstones were easily translated into a set of line-item
needs that fell into nearly even thirds: new facilities, faculty support,
and student support. The items totaled $400 million – nearly
four times what the university had raised in its last fundraising
campaign.
At the end of a three-day executive retreat in Oklahoma City,
on February 9, 2006, the Board of Trustees reviewed the final
numbers. They saw a challenging goal, but also a necessary step for
The University of Tulsa. After months of analysis and planning,
the vote was unanimous: TU would embrace the future.
Helen and Andrew MacKay are
graduates of universities in California, but that
did not stop them from pledging allegiance
to TU when they moved to Tulsa in the early
’90s. “At first we just attended sporting events
as a way to get to know Tulsa a little better,”
Helen said. It wasn’t long before they realized
TU offered so much more. “Our business is all
about pushing the boundaries of technology,”
said Andrew, president of Tulsa-based Maccor,
an international manufacturer of battery and
cell test equipment. “We’ve benefited from
the faculty expertise at this university. By
supporting scholarships we are also supporting
the next generation of scientists.”

47 New Endowed Faculty Advance Key Disciplines
The Embrace the Future Campaign has endowed 47
new faculty positions in disciplines as varied as international
business, energy law, Chinese language, and bioinformatics
(a growing field that uses powerful computers to analyze and
model biological processes).
Gifts totaling more than $302 million have established
permanent endowment funds that generate earnings to
sustain faculty salaries and, in many cases, annual allowances
for professional expenses such as research and travel.
In addition to funding a portfolio of senior academic
positions, the Embrace the Future Campaign pushed faculty
endowment in two new directions. First: The Wellspring
Professorships funded by the Chapman Trusts support
promising young tenure-track faculty in disciplines including
international business, film studies, women’s studies, chemical
engineering, and Portuguese and Spanish. Second: The
university has endowed two administrative positions: the
Dean John Rogers Endowed Chair of the College of Law,
held by Janet Levit; and the R.M. and Ida McFarlin Dean of
McFarlin Library, held by Adrian Alexander.
These newly endowed positions bring the total number of
endowed faculty to 72, nearly tripling the ranks of endowed
faculty at TU.
Please see the individual donor profiles in this publication
for more information on faculty endowment giving.
Brian Utsey (JD’05 LLM’06) and
his Parents, Paula and Howard
Utsey, created a permanent endowment
for the acquisition of Native American Law
materials in the Mabee Legal Information
Center. “I was drawn to The University of
Tulsa College of Law because of its Indian Law
program and the Native American Law Center,”
said Brian. “After my life-changing experience
at TU, my parents wanted to be a part of the
law school, too.” The elder Utseys are proud of
their son … and their decision to support TU.
“Through this gift, our family, our name, and our
proud heritage will be forever joined with this
amazing university,” said the couple.
6 The University of Tulsa
Scholarship Giving Endows 1,200 New
Awards
The Embrace the Future Campaign has greatly
strengthened TU’s ability to provide financial assistance to
qualified students through an infusion of $120 million in
endowed scholarship funding. This amount represents a 175
percent increase in TU’s total scholarship endowment and
will produce almost 1,200 new scholarship awards annually.
(During the 2010-11 year, TU awarded nearly $41 million in
undergraduate scholarships, aid and tuition reductions.)
In addition to expanding the prestigious merit-based
Presidential Scholarship Program for top-performing
students, the campaign created a tier of Trustee Scholarships
for talented students falling just below the threshold for
Presidential Scholarships. There also is a new Provost
Scholarship designed to assist current students who are at risk
of failing to complete their TU degrees due to a change in
personal or family financial circumstances.
Increased scholarship aid for MBA students is already
playing a key role in the Collins College of Business’
strategy to boost enrollments and student qualifications,
complementing a recent overhaul of the MBA curriculum.
More than $13 million in new athletic scholarships
will help TU maintain a competitive edge as the smallest
school in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision and the
championship-winningest school in Conference USA.
Please see the individual donor profiles in this publication
for more information on endowed scholarship giving.
Capital Giving Transforms TU Campus
Embrace the Future Campaign giving included an
impressive $173.5 million for capital projects that will fulfill
the campus Master Plan drawn by the Board of Trustees
more than 20 years ago. These projects total more than 1
million square feet of new development – much of which is
already complete or ongoing.
The addition of the Mayo, Lorton, and Brown residential
villages has pushed on-campus residency to 80 percent of
undergraduates, and the new Pat Case Dining Center brings
high style, gourmet cuisine and convenience to university
dining.
The renovation of H.A. Chapman Stadium and
construction of the adjoining Case Athletic Complex and
Thomas Plaza have brought new pride and possibilities to
Tulsa Athletics.
A beautiful new entrance on Eleventh Street welcomes
visitors with Chapman Commons and the Genave King
Rogers Fountain, and tree-lined Tucker Drive routes them
efficiently to Collins Hall or to Bayless Plaza beyond.
Through the establishment of a permanent
endowment fund, the family of one of
TU’s most celebrated faculty members has
ensured his legacy will live on. The James
G. Watson Professorship in
English will stand as a lasting tribute to Dr.
Watson’s scholarly achievements, devotion to
teaching, and service to his academic community.
“Jim loved TU,” says Ann Watson, Jim’s wife of
47 years. “I know Jim must be smiling knowing
that, now, he will forever be a part of the
Department of English.” Children Julie and Bill
(BA ’86) Watson, and Cyndee and Rick (BA ’87
MA ’89) Watson joined Ann in establishing this
faculty fund.

Hall, the new home of petroleum and mechanical
engineering. The handsome Samson Plaza will tie the
buildings to the existing Keplinger Hall, anchoring the
northeastern corner of campus with an invitingly landscaped
quadrangle.
Please see the individual donor profiles in this publication
for more information on capital giving and new facilities.
Deferred Gifts Strengthen Long-Term
Finances
Long-time TU supporters Pam and
Thomas (BS ’57) Russell made
campaign gifts toward the naming of the
Russell Vestibule in Stephenson Hall and, along
with Pam’s daughter, Ashley Hughes (BS ’11),
the creation of a new therapeutic children’s
playroom within the Mary K. Chapman Center
for Communicative Disorders. With both gifts,
the family is building a legacy important to
them and others. “We are happy to know our
gifts advance education for students at all levels
and from all walks of life,” said Pam. “TU
has touched our lives in so many ways; we feel
proudly obligated to make a difference in the
lives of these students,” added Tom.
McFarlin Library, the “academic town square” of
the university, received a much-needed expansion and
remodeling to consolidate computer resources, add café and
commons areas, and reinforce the library’s gothic charm.
John Rogers Hall, home of the TU College of Law, also
underwent renovation.
The Lorton Performance Center, the new home for TU’s
performing arts and film studies programs, emerged as the
university’s single most ambitious building ever, with 77,000
square feet and multiple state-of-the-art venues to support
public performance, rehearsal and teaching for music, dance
and theater groups as well as film production and editing.
The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences will
soon be on dramatically new footing when construction
wraps on J. Newton Rayzor Hall, the new home of computer
science and electrical engineering; as well as Stephenson
8 The University of Tulsa
Deferred giving – also known as “planned giving” – is an
important element of TU’s long-term financial strength. By
establishing generous bequests, donors have set aside nearly
$125 million for the university’s future benefit.
Most of these gifts will support scholarships. (One
anonymous donor established a $24 million deferred gift for
engineering scholarships.) Other deferred gifts are designated
to support specific programs (e.g., geosciences and band).
As part of the campaign, the university introduced the
Pioneer Program through which donors enroll in affordable
term life insurance policies with TU as the beneficiary. The
Pioneer Program has connected especially with young alumni
(including many first-time TU donors) who recognize the
opportunity to put time to work growing today’s premium
contributions into tomorrow’s scholarships. The Pioneer
Program will continue beyond the end of the Embrace the
Future Campaign.
TU alumnus Michael Graves (BA ’67
MA ’70) has generously included TU in his
estate plans which, when realized, will be received
as an unrestricted gift to support the Henry Kendall
College of Arts and Sciences. This thoughtful gift
structure will allow future administrators of the
college critical funding flexibility. “I want my gift to
be used where it’s needed the most at that particular
time,” says Graves, shown here with wife, Kathleen
Page. “If that means it funds scholarships, that’s
great! But, if my gift is needed to help buy computers
or musical instruments, that’s fine, too. I just want to
help. I want my gift to make a difference.”
Embrace the Future Campaign 9
As a student phonathon caller at TU, newly minted
alumnus Jack Merrywell (BA ’11) was
well-versed in the importance of unrestricted gifts.
“I knew from talking to the deans that unrestricted
funding often made the difference in renovating labs,
upgrading equipment, or in providing students the
chance to travel,” said Merrywell, who has already
completed his third gift to the TU Annual Fund.
“I couldn’t ask others to support a program that
I didn’t support…at least with a modest gift. I’m
proud to be a TU donor.”
Unrestricted Gifts Bring Valuable Flexibility
It may surprise some that 29 percent of campaign gifts
(by dollar) were designated for purposes other than the stated
campaign goals. It is typical for major campaigns to grow in
scope as donors are inspired to fund personally meaningful
projects; many powerful assets have been created in this way.
At the other end of the spectrum, some donors place
10 The University of Tulsa
no designation on gifts, giving the university a free hand in
determining their use. Such “unrestricted giving” provides
flexibility for the university to complete partially funded
projects, pursue new directions, or meet unexpected needs.
Embrace the Future giving included $32.9 million in
unrestricted gifts – about 4.7 percent of the campaign total.
Roxana and Bob Lorton
Dreamers and Doers:
TU’s Bright Stars
Many alumni and friends remain active in the life of TU,
but few, if any, can claim the kind of lifelong connection that
Roxana (BA ’63) and Bob (BA ’64) Lorton have cultivated
over the decades – a partnership that begins with childhood
memories and today finds the couple helping to lead the
university’s charge into the future.
Embrace the Future Campaign 11
Bob remembers attending the chilly January
groundbreaking for TU’s Lorton Hall, which was funded
by his grandparents and completed in 1948. Roxana, the
daughter of TU music professor Béla Rózsa, remembers
a childhood home bustling with visiting musicians and
intellectuals. Neither could have imagined at the time that
they would go on to graduate from TU and become major
donors, trustees, and co-chairs of the two most successful
fundraising campaigns in TU history: the New Century
Campaign (1993-98, $108 million) and the Embrace the
Future Campaign (2006-11, $698 million).
Together, these two efforts raised more than $806
million for key university initiatives including campus
expansion, endowed scholarships, faculty endowments
and strategic program support. Many of the campaigns’
larger gifts were finalized over meals in the Lortons’ home
– always hosted with trademark hospitality and irresistible
excitement about TU’s future.
Although their personal leadership made a profound
difference in the success of the Embrace the Future
Campaign, Bob and Roxana are quick to redirect credit
elsewhere – beginning with TU itself.
“People will not give unless they feel good about
whom they’re giving to and what they’re supporting,”
Bob said. “The outstanding response that we’ve seen has
12 The University of Tulsa
been a referendum on TU’s impressive success over
the past several years and the quality of the campaign’s
initiatives.”
Those priorities fell into nearly even thirds: capital
support for campus expansion, funds to endow
scholarships and funds to endow faculty positions.
“Those goals weren’t just pulled from the air,”
Roxana notes. “They were developed from the ground
up, beginning with discussions at the departmental level
and culminating in a comprehensive assessment of TU’s
strengths and aspirations by the administration and the
Board of Trustees. I think our donors are very proud of
what the university is achieving with their support.”
The Lortons also give credit to the members of the
Embrace the Future Campaign Cabinet – a great team
of fellow trustees who fanned out to match specific needs
with prospective donors and lay the groundwork for gifts.
“The cabinet members did yeoman’s work,” Bob said.
“Their cultivation of partners was instrumental to the
campaign’s success.”
Also pivotal was the leadership of TU President
Steadman Upham, First Lady Peggy Upham, and Senior
Vice President for Planning and Outreach Jan Zink, the
Lortons said.
“Their ability to connect with people, listen, and build
authentic relationships is vitally important,” Bob said.

Bob and Roxana extended a family legacy of creative
achievement and support of the arts. Bob’s grandmother,
Maud Lorton, was a prime mover in establishing the Tulsa
Opera. Roxana’s grandfather, Lajos Sandor Rózsa, was a
leading baritone in Vienna and Budapest. The New York
Metropolitan Opera brought the Rózsa family to the U.S.
in 1921 – a move that Roxana credits with saving their lives
from later atrocities in Europe.
Roxana’s father, Béla Rózsa, graduated from Juilliard
and played with the NBC Symphony Orchestra under the
legendary Arturo Toscanini. He completed his doctorate
at the University of Iowa and later joined the TU faculty,
serving from 1945 to 1974 teaching, composing and
directing the graduate music program and the Department
of Music Theory.
With the TU campus a fixture of Roxana’s everyday life
growing up, it was natural for her to enroll at the university.
She majored in journalism (with an art minor) and was a
member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and the
Theta Sigma Phi honorary journalism society for women.

Given the extent of their
community commitments,
TU is especially fortunate
that Bob and Roxana devote
time to serve on TU’s Board
of Trustees (a combined
41 years, in fact). Bob has
chaired the Membership and
Advancement committees
and has served as a member
-Roxana
of the Executive Committee
and the committees on
Finance, Buildings and
Grounds, Investment and Audit, Faculty and Curriculum,
and Athletics. Roxana has co-chaired the Membership
Committee and has served on the committees for
Advancement, Buildings and Grounds, and Faculty and
Curriculum.
Bob and Roxana are members of The Circle Society
(Circle of Visionaries) – TU’s premier donor association
– and the President’s Council. For many years, they
have been members of the McFarlin Fellows, Friends of
Finance and the Golden Hurricane Club. The university
recognized their many capital gifts in 2008 by naming
Lorton Village in their honor;
this market-grade residential
development occupies a proud
spot overlooking Chapman
Commons as part of TU’s
Eleventh Street entrance.
Bob was inducted into the
Collins College of Business
Hall of Fame in 2000 and
that same year was inducted
Lorton
into the Communication
Hall of Fame sponsored by
the Henry Kendall College
of Arts and Sciences. He also received TU’s J. Paschal
Twyman Award honoring exceptional service (1996) and
a TU Distinguished Alumnus Award (1988). Roxana was
honored with a Distinguished Alumna Award in 2000, and
she joined Bob in receiving the J. Paschal Twyman Award
for service in 1996.
Looking back to the beginning of the Embrace the
Future Campaign, Bob and Roxana recall an important
stipulation that they made to TU President Steadman
Upham and Senior Vice President for Planning and
Outreach Jan Zink.
“We said the only way we would do the campaign is if
we could have fun with it,” Bob said, explaining that “the
fun has come from the success that we’ve had, and also
from the many stories along the way.” As one example, they
point to the alumnus living in Alaska, more or less under
the TU fundraising radar, who responded to a routine
mail solicitation with a surprise $1 million gift. As another
example, Roxana happily notes that her childhood piano
teacher contributed a gift to the campaign.
And while Bob admits surprise that the campaign
surpassed its goal by 75 percent during a recessionary
economy, he says he is not surprised by the widespread
support that TU has received from both alumni and non
alumni donors.
“Anywhere you find a successful community, you find a
strong college or university,” he said. “People understand
that TU is serving an important role in helping prepare
students for good, successful careers and a lifetime of
service. It has been deeply gratifying to see so many people
step forward to support that mission.”
“I think the stars were all in line to make this happen,”
Roxana added. “The future is so bright.”

Moving TU Forward
Since 1950, the Chapman Trusts have advanced
The University of Tulsa with a steady flow of funding
exceeding half a billion dollars. This support has subsidized
everything from lampposts to cutting-edge nanotechnology
research. Many times, it has erased vexing budget lines (e.g.,
asbestos removal). And just as many times, it has redrawn
the future by shifting the playing field in TU’s favor (e.g.,
the Wellspring Professorship endowments for up-andcoming faculty members).
Under the leadership of Chapman Trustee Sharon
Bell (JD ’85), who also is a member of the TU Board of
Trustees, the Chapman Trusts delivered nearly a quarter
of the Embrace the Future Campaign’s remarkable total.
The Trusts’ giving to TU over the past six years exceeds
that of its first four decades combined – a fact that does not
surprise Bell.
“As I tell our partners at Bank of Oklahoma, our goal is
to make sure the purchasing power of the support that our
beneficiaries receive in 20 years is as good or better than
what they’re getting now,” she said. (BOK is the corporate
trustee of the Chapman Trusts, managing the investment
side of the operation in consultation with Bell.)
Over the course of the Embrace the Future Campaign,
Chapman purchasing power has extended to several key
areas, including an extensive expansion and renovation
of McFarlin Library (which Bell notes had become a
“fairly dowdy old lady”); renovation of John Rogers Hall,
home of the TU College of Law; endowment of the key

administrative posts the Dean John Rogers Endowed
Chair of the College of Law (held by Janet Levit) and
R.M. and Ida McFarlin Dean of the Library (held by
Adrian Alexander); a suite of Wellspring Professorships in
fields including international business, Chinese language,
nanotechnology, film studies, and biochemical engineering;
and widespread support of the campus master plan,
including a major gift to the Roxana Rózsa and Robert
Eugene Lorton Performance Center.
Given the Chapman Trusts’ singular position as a
partner in TU’s advancement, Bell’s giving strategy
encompasses the broadest possible scope – from gritty
workaday projects to visionary program endowments that
help shape the university’s core strategies. Above all, Bell
explains, she tries to be a catalyst linking the university’s
priorities to the generosity of other TU donors.
“For example, in the case of our gift to the Lorton
Performance Center, it was at a key point in being able
to move forward with the design details for the building,”
she said. “They needed to have a certain percentage of
the funding raised to be able to do that. Once you have
those details in hand, it becomes easier to enlist the help of
others.”
For Bell and her husband, Greg Gray (BS ’76, JD ’85),
supporting TU goes far beyond smart business; it is a
family calling rooted in genuine friendship. Bell notes that
15 members of their combined family are TU alumni
– including her father, the late William H. Bell (JD ’54),
and, now, Sharon
and Greg’s son, John
Gray (BA ’10). “Greg’s
uncles, his cousins,
my cousin and my
brother – we all got
great value from our
TU experience,” Bell
said. “TU provided a
good education and
a good foundation
for our lives. And we
want to make sure that
continues.” (Son John
has wasted no time
in becoming a TU
donor; he established
a life-insurance-based
J.A. Chapman
endowment gift through the university’s Pioneer Program.)
The Trusts themselves trace back to the incredible
success that James Chapman and Robert McFarlin built
during the early years of the 20th century as principals
in the McMan Oil Company, which sold in 1916 for $39
million ($780 million today). That wealth became the
source of vast philanthropy, including the Chapman Trusts.
Attorney John Rogers served for many years as counsel to
the Chapman-McFarlin interests before passing the role
to his law partner, Sharon’s father, William H. Bell. Today,
Sharon continues as caretaker of the trusts, which support
TU and 17 other beneficiaries.
Legacy stories of the Chapman and McFarlin families
are recounted each spring, as TU’s 28 Chapman-endowed
faculty convene to hear about the namesakes of their titled
chairs and to share their own projects. The luncheons,
which always feature an heirloom family recipe such as
pepper jelly or icebox pudding, are one of Bell’s favorite
annual activities, she says, because they celebrate TU’s
mission in terms of individual people, their passions
and personalities, and their work – the substance of the
university as it is lived day to day.
Although she represents TU’s single largest investor, Bell
is quick to deflect credit to the thousands of other donors
who stepped forward to support the Embrace the Future
Campaign. “What I find so exciting is how incredibly
successful the campaign has been as a whole. It has moved
the institution forward in so many areas,” she said. “It’s
not just the work of the Chapman Trusts; it’s the work of
a great many people who have given – with love and with
blood, sweat and tears. I celebrate every one of those gifts
and am delighted to be a part of the process.”

Helping TU Change the World
Jack Wahl (BSPE ’49) has always given of himself in
ways few could ever imagine – to his country, to his family,
and to his alma mater. In 2011, Wahl and his wife, Lynn,
made a campaign commitment resulting in the single
largest individual gift in the history of The University of
Tulsa. The result will transform the College of Engineering
and Natural Sciences and can improve lives globally.
Wahl’s selflessness and sense of duty dates back to the
day he joined the U.S. Army to fight in World War II. He
served in an infantry division in Belgium, Germany, and
Austria and received a Purple Heart after he was wounded
by mortar fire in France. At Landsberg, Germany, his unit
captured a large concentration camp. The atrocities he saw
there were the most disheartening scenes he ever witnessed.
These horrific scenes shaped the man Wahl would become.
His experiences during the war heightened his sense of
humanity and planted within him an unflinching desire to
change the world.
Realizing that his dreams required him to receive
a top-notch formal education, Wahl enrolled in TU’s
petroleum engineering program after World War II ended.
After graduating in 1949, he began working as a reservoir
engineer for Atlantic Refining Co. in Dallas. He was then
hired by the consulting firm James A. Lewis Engineering
in 1952. The company provided a wide range of oil and
gas reservoir analyses, but its specialty was enhanced oil
recovery by water injection.
During his distinguished career, Wahl went on to
serve as president, consultant and petroleum engineer for
James A. Lewis Co. Ltd. in Alberta, Canada, for more
than 10 years. Using the expertise gained there, Wahl
formed a private oil company, Columbian Northland
Exploration Ltd. in 1967. When this company merged
with Great Basins Petroleum Co. in 1970, he became CEO
and majority shareholder and managed all operations
in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and
Africa. He later sold Great Basins in 1980, a company listed
on the American Stock Exchange, and retired to Bermuda
with his wife, Lynn and their daughter, Stephanie.
He took up golf with great enthusiasm, winning several
amateur tournaments in Bermuda and the Mid Ocean
Club. His two most memorable golfing achievements were
winning the Bermuda Stroke Play at age 66 and again
at age 68, and being selected to represent Bermuda five
times in the Eisenhower World Amateur international
18 The University of Tulsa
Wahl
tournament. Having traveled many parts of the globe with
his wife by his side, he believes the most interesting and
exciting trips were the hunting safaris in Kenya, Botswana
and Tanzania.
Wahl emerged from retirement and is now president of
a private oil company, Richmond Oil & Financial Holdings
Ltd. Wahl enjoys spending time at his Bermuda home with
Lynn, who has been his partner in so many of his ventures.
For his personal and professional achievements, Wahl was
inducted into the Engineering and Natural Sciences Hall of
Fame in 2010.
Lynn Wahl is an accomplished artist and mother. Her
unique and innovative “art to wear” cigar box handbags
have been featured in Bermudian Magazine and can be
found in collections all over the world including South
America, Japan, all across Europe and even in Tulsa. Her
handcrafted work was recently selected for display at the
Bermuda Society of Arts.
Throughout their lives, Lynn and Jack have actively
supported initiatives that have a positive impact and that
are close to their hearts, never forgetting the inspiring
professors and passionate students at The University of
Tulsa.
Two years ago, they received a Vision newsletter from the
college that featured stories about TU student groups such
as Sustainable Energy for North Eastern Asia (SENEA) and
Engineers Without Borders that are working to build water
purification systems for tiny villages around the globe.
“When I read those stories and saw what these students
were doing, I knew my alma mater could change the
world,” he said. With that thought, Wahl began discussing
how he could best meld his desire to improve access to
affordable water around the world, with his abilities to
support progress at TU.
“The university gave me the tools I needed to succeed,
and I am pleased to be able to provide similar opportunities
for today’s students to make a meaningful difference in the
lives of others,” he said.
Embrace the Future 19
Built on a Strong Foundation
By all means, ride the campus shuttle. But don’t say,
simply, “Chapman, please.”
You see, there’s Chapman Hall; the Allen Chapman
Activity Center; the Mary K. Chapman Center for
Communicative Disorders; Chapman Theatre; and, now,
the stately Chapman Commons and H.A. Chapman
Stadium – key elements of the university’s dramatic “front
door” along Eleventh Street.
Standing behind each of these landmarks are the H.A.
and Mary K. Chapman Charitable Foundations, a pair
of trusts, one established in 1977 by the late Harry Allen
Chapman, and the other founded in 1996 by his wife, the
late Mary K. Chapman.
The Foundations operate on a noble and broad directive
to “better mankind.” Trustees Jerry Dickman and Donne
Pitman have put their discretion to good use, allocating
support to numerous education, healthcare and social
services organizations throughout the Tulsa community,
most notably private schools at all levels of education, from
early childhood to universitystudy.
TU is the Foundations’ single largest beneficiary, with
36 grants totaling more than $18 million since 1981.
These include the aforementioned facilities, support of the
Donald W. Reynolds Center, partnership in the Collins
Student Fitness Center, gifts to TU’s University School, and
scholarship support.
“We don’t have a predefined agenda for our support
of TU,” Pitman said. “We like to remain open to the
university’s needs and to be advised by the leadership as to
where our gifts can make the most difference.”
The H.A. Chapman Stadium renovation is a good
case in point. The university enlisted the Foundations as
a partner that would provide a substantial anchor gift and
a fast launch to a project that was big, highly visible, and
demanding of quick completion.
The university’s Embrace the Future Campaign was
well under way when the opportunity emerged for TU to
assume management of the city-owned Gilcrease Museum.
The Foundations responded with an immediate and highly
20 The University of Tulsa
Chapman
visible 5-year pledge of support. Although in retrospect, the
TU-Gilcrease partnership was a master stroke of publicprivate collaboration, it was hardly a foregone conclusion at
the time, and the Foundations’ support was a key early step
in aligning other philanthropists around the opportunity.
“The Gilcrease partnership will be a huge arrangement
for Tulsa for years to come,” Dickman said. “It underscores
the fact that TU is an important asset for the City of
Tulsa, and in many ways we’re still realizing that value
as a community. We’re proud of our support of TU and
everything that we’ve accomplished together.”
An Era of Sweeping Progress
The Collins name is well represented across the TU
campus through the Collins Fitness Center, Collins Hall,
and the Collins College of Business. As iconic as they are,
these proud titles represent a small part of the sweeping
progress that the late Fulton Collins and his wife, Susie,
have helped bring to TU as trustees, donors and friends.
Fulton served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees
from 1997 until his death in 2008. Under his leadership,
the university doubled its endowment, doubled the book
value of its facilities, and more than doubled applications
for undergraduate admission. (Susie continues as a member
of the board today.)
Fostering partnership among universities, government,
and business was a high priority for Fulton. “One of the
last conversations he had was with [Mayor] Kathy Taylor,”
Susie said. “They passed each other on the street and
wound up sitting on the curb talking about their vision
for how the Tulsa business community could work in
conjunction with the university. He was gone for the longest
time, and I was getting worried. He came back energized
and said, ’You’ll never guess where I’ve been and what we
were talking about!’”
That sense of mission led Fulton and Susie to advance
a bold initiative to re-engineer TU’s MBA program – an
effort that has involved the addition of specialty tracks
within the curriculum, increased scholarship support, and
the addition of key faculty positions. Together with Tulsa
businessman and philanthropist Walt Helmerich, Fulton
and Susie committed $15 million in challenge funding to
inspire others to support their vision.
As a result, the annual scholarship budget for graduate
business students has already more than tripled, and
2011 saw the first full cohort of MBAs graduate from the
enhanced program.
Outside observers are taking note of TU’s progress.
In its 2011 ranking of undergraduate business programs,
Bloomberg Businessweek named the Collins College of
Business 33rd in the nation – an enviable placement that
makes TU the fourth highest-ranked program in the
southwest.
In addition to supporting the Collins College of
Business, Fulton and Susie made a substantial campaign
gift for campus maintenance and beautification as well as
Collins
leadership gifts that made possible Collins Hall and a new
softball field house. Fulton also made a constant gift of
his advocacy, which included rallying donors around the
H.A. Chapman Stadium renovation and playing a key role
in orchestrating TU’s resoundingly successful partnership
with Gilcrease Museum. While most anyone would see this
degree of giving as truly exceptional, for Fulton and Susie,
it is simply natural.
“We both came from families that taught about giving
back to the community, whether that was financially or
through volunteer efforts,” she said. “Our parents and
grandparents taught us by example that it’s just natural to
give back.”
Embrace the Future 21
Quiet Strength and Support
It takes a strong vision and unwavering confidence to
build as many companies as Cortlandt Dietler did during
his lifetime. Those same attributes that brought him
business success were quickly and freely shared with his
alma mater both through his service as a TU Trustee and
through his philanthropic giving. Both helped shape TU
into a stronger and more vibrant university.
Cort Dietler graduated from TU in 1947 with
bachelor’s degrees in both history and political science,
then landed his first job with ARAMCO in Lebanon.
The following year, he married Tulsa native Martha S.
Nicholson who had earned her degree in speech from TU
in 1944 and was a Braille instructor. A new job took the
newlyweds away from Oklahoma that year, but the couple
remained connected to their alma mater during the next six
decades.
During his legendary career, Cort Dietler started more
than 30 oil and gas companies. Such was Cort’s reputation
as a serial entrepreneur that an industry profile noted that
he “started more companies than most people have bought
suits and ties.” Each venture would become more successful
than the last, and he built a legendary career built on
his hallmarks of integrity, straight talk, and self-reliance.
Throughout it all, Martha remained one of his most trusted
advisors.
With his generous spirit, Cort provided his business
insights and acumen to the university while he was a
Trustee from 1987 until 2000. During the New Century
Campaign in the 1990s, Cort served as the honorary
chairman and member of the executive campaign cabinet.
His service to the university was likely patterned after his
father, Ralph, who was a TU Trustee from 1935-1941.
Through the years, the Dietlers have provided support
to crucial university initiatives, including the recent
expansion of McFarlin Library that now includes the Cort
and Martha Dietler Café. This popular hangout provides a
comfortable space for students to enjoy a cup of coffee or
a light snack while taking a break from their studies. The
couple also provided major support for the construction
of the Donald W. Reynolds Center, and the university’s
Presidential Scholarship Fund and Annual Fund.
22 The University of Tulsa
Dietler
In recognition of his tremendous professional
accomplishments, Cort was named in 1975 as a TU
Distinguished Alumnus, the university’s highest honor. In
2001, he was honored with the Henry Kendall College of
Arts and Sciences Distinguished Service Award.
Cort passed away in 2008 in Denver, where his wife,
Martha, continues to live. Through a transformative estate
gift, they established the Martha S. and Cortlandt S. Dietler
Facilities Maintenance Endowment, which will be used
to preserve, maintain, repair and renovate TU’s main
campus. This gift provides a lasting legacy that will ensure
that today’s progress can be maintained in perpetuity. In
honor of the couple’s lifetime of service and commitment,
the campus “U”, which proudly stretches westward from
McFarlin Library to Delaware Avenue, will be renamed the
Cortlandt and Martha Dietler Commons.
Community Builders
Civic leadership runs deep in Walt Helmerich’s family.
His grandfather was C. F. Colcord, one of Oklahoma’s
original developers. Colcord once visited a small Oklahoma
town and found appalling conditions in the jail. So he
bought it and set it right.
Today, Walt and his wife, Peggy, continue to enrich
Oklahoma. The list of organizations they have supported
is a community directory: Tulsa Public Schools, Gilcrease
Museum, Philbrook Museum, Tulsa Opera, the Tulsa
Zoo, Tulsa Area United Way, Tulsa Community College,
Oklahoma State University, the Hillcrest Health Care
System – and many others.
Recently, the Helmerichs joined Susie and the late
Fulton Collins in creating a $15 million matching fund to
strengthen TU’s MBA program. By doubling gifts from
other donors, their investment has tripled the graduate
scholarships budget of the Collins College of Business,
endowed three professorships, updated Helmerich Hall,
created the Williams Student Services Center, and reengineered the MBA curriculum.
As a Harvard-educated MBA, Walt has firsthand
appreciation of the skills and relationships that business
school produces. Today, he is chairman of Helmerich
& Payne, Inc., a Tulsa-based drilling contractor with
worldwide operations and a corporate heritage dating to
1920. His son, Hans Helmerich, serves as president and
chief executive officer.
The second arm of the Helmerichs’ recent support
– Gilcrease Museum – is one that TU inherited when
it assumed management of Gilcrease in 2008. The
Helmerichs’ devotion to the museum goes back 31 years – a
legacy of generosity touching every aspect of the museum’s
mission and operations. To recognize the couple’s lifetime
of support, Gilcrease Museum established the Bluestem
Award in 2010, naming Peggy and Walt Helmerich as the
award’s inaugural recipients.
The Helmerichs’ most recent gift will allow TU and
Gilcrease to create the Helmerich Research Center. The
facility will help scholars unlock the treasures of the
Gilcrease Archive – a lesser-known part of the collection
that includes hundreds of thousands of pages of rare
Helmerich
documents dating to the time of Columbus.
Beyond the volumes already spoken by their
philanthropy, Peggy is an eloquent fan of Gilcrease
Museum, which she describes as “a gemstone, one of the
best-kept secrets in the U.S.”
“Tell me one person in the world who doesn’t love the
romance and intrigue of the West,” she said. “It’s all right
here – in sculpture and painting and story. This is how we
built this country.”
Thanks to Peggy and Walt Helmerich, we’re still
building.
Embrace the Future 23
A Strong Partnership
The words people choose reveal their approach to
things. For example, you won’t hear Ken Levit, executive
director of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, talk
about making “gifts.” He even steers away from the word
“investments,” preferring instead to talk about “projects.”
It’s a word that gives primacy not to the dollars spent, but
to the changes sought – and to the Foundation’s ongoing
commitment to that work.
The Foundation’s mission is to break the cycle of
poverty at the earliest stage by supporting early childhood
education, social services, indigent health care and overall
civic enhancement, Levit explained. It’s a mission that
shares many linkages with The University of Tulsa.
Those ties have led the Foundation to invest heavily
in TU through the Embrace the Future Campaign. The
scope and specificity of the Foundation’s giving to TU are
evidence of mutual goals and a close working partnership;
these varied projects include TU’s National Energy
Policy Institute and the Frederic Dorwart Endowed Chair
in Energy Law, the George Kaiser Family Foundation
Rehearsal Hall in the new Lorton Performance Center, the
Immigration Law Clinic, the KWGS FM 89.5 public radio
station, Gilcrease Museum (operated by TU), the Tulsa
Undergraduate Research Challenge, the James Joyce Quarterly
– and more.
“This group of projects arose from the combination of
emerging opportunities and an ongoing conversation with
TU leadership to develop a list of shared priorities,” Levit
said. “In working with us, the university has been a nimble
entrepreneurial partner.”
One especially creative project was a nominal-interest
bridge loan from the Foundation, which expedited
construction of the Roxana Rózsa and Robert Eugene
Lorton Performance Center. Secured by pledged future gift
installments from other donors, the loan allowed TU to
take advantage of favorable current construction costs and
avoid prevailing market debt rates, saving precious time and
millions of dollars.
24 The University of Tulsa
Although the Embrace the Future Campaign is now
history, the partnership between the Foundation and TU
will take no hiatus. For one thing, as Levit pointed out, the
connection is personal. He is married to Janet Levit, Dean
John Rogers Endowed Chair of the College of Law. In
addition, TU Board of Trustees member Fred Dorwart
and TU College of Law alumnus Phil Frohlich sit on
the Foundation’s board. These bonds, as well as projects
already initiated, promise an active partnership well into
the future. One emerging area to watch is the Kendall
Whittier Neighborhood, where the Foundation and TU
are committed to education, services, and neighborhood
revitalization. “Over the next five to ten years, I think you’ll
see more partnership there,” Levit said. “There are some
good conversations and planning happening now.”
Opening Doors of Opportunity
Peggy and Charles Stephenson made their mark in the
petroleum industry and are using their good fortune to
open doors for TU students and faculty – and countless
others across Tulsa and the state.
Charles Stephenson, Jr. has spent 50 years deftly
navigating the changing energy industry and understands
the importance of giving students access to learning
environments that will prepare them to think critically,
adapt to a fluid and often volatile industry, and eventually
stand as the next generation of oil industry leaders. In
generously donating the lead gift for a new building that
will house the petroleum and mechanical engineering
programs, Stephenson Hall, the couple has demonstrated
their commitment to TU and to the future of the industry
they helped build.
“Peggy and I are honored that our efforts can help
further the advancement of engineering education at TU,
which benefits our students, our community, and our great
state,” Stephenson said.
Stephenson’s TU ties date back to the days when it
was known as Kendall College and spans four generations.
His grandfather, a Presbyterian minister, was a teacher
and preacher on campus. In 1982, the couple’s son, Steve
Stephenson, received his petroleum engineering degree
from TU.
Charles began his storied career with Amerada
Petroleum Corp. in 1960. Between 1973 and 1982, he
was an owner and president of privately held Andover Oil
Co. In 1983, he founded Vintage Petroleum Inc., a Tulsabased independent energy company that was listed on the
New York Stock Exchange in 1990 and raised his profile
as an international leader in the energy industry. For the
next 16 years, he served as chairman, president and CEO
for Vintage, which grew from three to more than 750
employees with worldwide operations when it was acquired
in 2006 by Occidental Petroleum.
Even in “retirement,” Charles is still in active
exploration mode. He is a co-founder and chairman of
Premier Natural Resources, an independent oil and gas
company, and is a partner of Regent Private Capital and
co-founder and director of Growth Capital Partners,
both of which are venture capital companies. He also is
president of Stephenson Investments Inc.
Stephenson
Charles has been active in many community affairs
including serving on the boards of the Salvation Army,
Indian Nations Council of the Boy Scouts and Philbrook
Museum of Art.
Peggy serves as executive director of the Charles
and Peggy Stephenson Family Foundation and comanages their personal philanthropic activities. She is
particularly celebrated for her volunteer work with the First
Presbyterian Church, American Red Cross, Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, American Cancer Society, Philbrook Museum
of Art, and Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, and she serves
on the board of Goodland Academy, a private school for
disadvantaged youth near Hugo, Oklahoma.
She was twice honorary chairwoman of Tulsa Project
Woman, which provides breast cancer screenings and
education for women with limited financial resources.
Embrace the Future 25
Advancing Excellence,
Inspiring Innovation
Marylouise (BA ’44) and Alfred Randolph “Bill” Tandy
were partners in a family entrepreneurial legacy that made
“Tandy” a household name synonymous with innovation
and value.
Bill was a member of the David L. Tandy Family,
founders of the Tandy Corp. of Fort Worth, which began
in 1919 as a leather wholesaler. Bill, in partnership with his
brother, developed diversified retail holdings – most notably,
the Radio Shack chain of electronics stores where Bill
served as a director. Among Radio Shack’s most significant
products was its TRS-80 personal computer, introduced in
1977 – a groundbreaking unit that introduced a generation
of students to personal computing.
Bill Tandy oversaw enterprises of his own, including
Tandy Industries, a property developer specializing in
homes and institutional buildings such as dormitories
and libraries. He also was the president, CEO and a
director of Great Yellowstone Corp., a Tulsa-based oil
and gas producer. He was a World War II pilot and served
several organizations including the YMCA and Junior
Achievement of Greater Tulsa.
Marylouise grew up in Tulsa and studied at the
University of Texas before completing an art degree at The
University of Tulsa in 1944. She and Bill were married that
September and remained together until his death in 1971.
They had two children – Alfred Randolph “Rant” Tandy,
Jr. and Carol Tandy.
Marylouise’s philanthropy was celebrated both in Tulsa
and in her later home of Maine. She was inducted into
the Tulsa Historical Society Hall of Fame in 2000. She
was a lifelong arts enthusiast, supporting arts organizations
including Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum, Tulsa Ballet and
Ruskin Art Club; the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland,
Maine; and New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In recognition
of her many achievements, The University of Tulsa named
Marylouise a Distinguished Alumna in 1998; the following
year, she was awarded the Connecticut College Medal.
Marylouise Tandy Cowan died at her home in
Southport Island, Maine, on March 28, 2009, having
established a remarkable personal and philanthropic legacy.
Thanks to the foresight of Bill and Marylouise Tandy, their
26 The University of Tulsa
Tandy
successes continue to create significant opportunities for
worthy beneficiaries.
Through the visionary support of the Marylouise Tandy
Cowan Revocable Trust and the A.R. and Marylouise
Tandy Foundation, The University of Tulsa has fortified
the talent and intensified the activities of its distinguished
program in Computer Science. Inspired by this bold
partnership and the stories behind it, The University of
Tulsa is honored to establish the A.R. and Marylouise
Tandy School of Computer Science.
The university community salutes the transformative
generosity and bright examples of Bill and Marylouise,
anticipates the groundbreaking work to be done here, and
celebrates the generations of innovators for whom the
Tandy School will become the gateway to a lifetime of
achievement, prosperity and service.

Adelson
Bird
Partners in Giving Back
Inspiring Others
Judging by their enthusiasm for The University of
Tulsa, you would never guess that Ellen and Steve Adelson
aren’t TU alumni. Although Cornell University claims that
honor, Ellen, Steve and other Adelson family members have
adopted TU, giving generously to meet needs and advance
priorities at their hometown university.
Among her other acts of service, Ellen’s enthusiasm for
TU has led her to found the vital affinity groups McFarlin
Fellows and TURC Fellows and to serve on the Board of
Trustees.
Most recently, the couple provided funding for the
Herbert and Roseline Gussman Concert Hall in the
Lorton Performance Center – an act that helps move TU’s
performing arts into a new era while honoring her parents
and the values they taught.
“I was raised in a home where, if you have $3, you are
fortunate to have it and need to give something back,” she
says.
TU gives back to the community as well, she notes, in
many ways that include public lectures, plays and events. By
investing in TU’s arts programs, the Adelsons believe they
are helping the university contribute to the quality of life in
Tulsa.
“When you have the opportunity to live in a
community with an educational institution, you are
extremely fortunate on many levels,” she said. “You should
support it; it’s an investment that you get back a hundred
times.” With an enduring love for the city where she was raised
as the daughter of prominent Tulsa pioneers John and
Lillian Mayo and the sister of Burch Mayo, Margery Feagin
Bird has always believed that both Tulsa and TU shared a
destiny for greatness. In that vein, Margery has lived a life
of purpose investing greatly in Tulsa and The University of
Tulsa to bring her beliefs to fruition.
Always with grace and a deep sense of responding
as generously as possible to TU’s needs, Margery has
endowed several Presidential Scholarships and two endowed
professorships in music and the humanities in memory of her
son, the late J. Donald Feagin, who died from cystic fibrosis.
She has graciously supported the Collins Scholar Award,
building of the Mayo Village apartments, the annual fund for
arts and sciences, McFarlin Fellows at the library, Gilcrease,
and the Women’s Rowing boathouse. She has also been
honored by the Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences
with a Distinguished Service Award in 1999.
In 2009, Margery accepted the Collins College of
Business Outstanding Entrepreneur award, which was
presented posthumously to her late husband, James M. Bird,
Sr. James was an enterprising businessman who, along with
Margery, was also a quietly generous philanthropist. Their
largess extended to many nonprofit organizations in Tulsa, as
well as the university.
Known for her ongoing dedication to the community,
Margery continues to inspire others with her conviction that
“one of the best ways we can improve the city we love is to
respond as generously as we can to TU’s exciting progress.”

One Campus, Two Loves
The Power of Two
Arnold Brown met the two loves of his life at TU, which
he attended on the GI Bill. “In my first year at TU, I found
my career in petroleum engineering and my wife to be.”
Pat credits her studies in religion, education and music for
preparing her to spend many years teaching in school and
churches as well as private piano lessons.
Arnold has been inducted into two TU Halls of Fame
— engineering and natural sciences in 1996 and business
in 2004. He was named a Distinguished Alumnus in 1983
and, in 2000, received the J. Paschal Twyman Award for his
outstanding community spirit and exemplary service and
devotion to TU. He served on the Board of Trustees from
1982 to 1998 and as a trustee emeritus since 1998. He was
president of the Alumni Association Board of Directors
from 1980 to 1981.
The Browns’ commitment to the university spans more
than 50 years, with numerous contributions and many
hours of cultivating other donors. Of their most recent
gifts to the university during the Embrace the Future
Campaign, Pat says, “When we were TU students, we lived
in an apartment about a mile from the campus, and having
no car, walked to classes every day. So we are especially
pleased that we could help with some of the student
housing projects. Next, we helped with the new engineering
buildings and the much needed Lorton Performance
Center, which will certainly enhance the overall quality of
the university.”
The Browns are longtime dedicated TU supporters, and
they plan to continue in that role.
The husband and wife team of Pat and Mike Case are
sterling examples of the power of teamwork. The Case
name has proven to be a mark of excellence on campus,
most notably on projects such as the Michael D. Case
Tennis Center, the Case Athletic Complex and the newly
opened Pat Case Dining Center. Each effort has earned
praise from students and the entire TU community, while
also attracting national attention for their distinction.
The Case Tennis Center has been recognized as one
of the nation’s finest collegiate tennis venues, which has
hosted the NCAA Division I tennis championships. The
Case Athletic Complex serves as the home for TU football
and provides academic support facilities for all studentathletes. Consistent with her reputation as a welcoming
hostess, the Pat Case Dining Center provides students with
contemporary dining facilities and improved menu options.
An inspirational example of the American dream, Mike
built his real estate and property management company
through hard work and business prowess. He has served
as a member of the TU Board of Trustees since 2005.
He was inducted into the Business Hall of Fame at TU in
2002, and he received an honorary doctorate of business in
2005. A stalwart partner in life and business, Pat has joined
Mike as a treasured member of the TU family. Her energy
and generosity has inspired others to share in the couple’s
enthusiasm and pride. Pat also has volunteered on behalf
of numerous philanthropic organizations, bringing to these
causes the same devotion and care she shares with TU and
all who know her.

Forging Partnerships,
Creating Opportunities
Bringing Beauty, Enhancing
Function
Many corporations donate valuable resources to
universities everyday, but few maintain the unique kind
of partnership that TU has nurtured with Chevron
throughout the years.
For more than 40 years, alumni, faculty and students
have worked closely with leaders at the global energy
company to further the College of Engineering and
Natural Sciences’ academic and hard-sciences research
goals, improving the corporation’s operations through
applicable solutions to field-based challenges. Perhaps the
most high-profile example of the university’s productive
relationship with Chevron is the TU Center of Research
Excellence (TUCoRE), which began in 2002 as a joint
industry/research partnership.
In November 2010, Chevron took yet another
transformative step in its relationship with TU by making
a $1 million commitment to establish the Chevron Center
for Education and Research. Ali Moshiri (BS ’76, MS ’78),
pictured above, is president of Chevron’s Africa and Latin
America Exploration and Production Company. He serves
as Executive Sponsor of the Chevron-TU partnership and
notes this was a natural “next step” for both organizations.
Chevron’s generosity to TU through its University
Partnership Program totals more than $11 million, which
includes support for scholarships, student organizations,
department gifts and other initiatives designed to enhance
the educational experience of TU students.
As a member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee
since 2007, TU Trustee Ann Graves possesses an insider’s
understanding of recent campus progress. She supported
the renovation of McFarlin Library, including the
beautifully restored Ann and Jack Graves Faculty Study.
In her most recent act of leadership, Ann sponsored
the Ann and Jack Graves Grand Hall – a 6,000-squarefoot space that augments the Lorton Performance Center’s
artistic functions with ample social possibilities.
Ann has supported numerous TU initiatives through
the years, including for the Collins College of Business, the
College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, McFarlin
Library and the humanities. Jack Graves, an oil and
gas industry leader, was a longtime TU supporter and
President’s Council member.
Ann has been inducted into the Tulsa Hall of Fame, and
in 2010, the Oklahoma Arts Council honored her with the
Governor’s Arts Award.
She received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the
University of Texas – Dallas and the Lifetime Achievement
Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa.
Ann said her gifts are a perfect way to thank TU for all
the events they enjoyed over the years.
“Jack would have been proud of the recent projects to
enhance TU and support the arts,” she said.

Supporting TU Through a
Breadth of Gifts
For TU’s internationally celebrated petroleum
engineering program, certain names are prominent within
its storied history: Kermit Brown, E.T. Gurrero, Jim Brill,
J.J. Azar, and Zelmar Schmidt among others. Starting in
2010, another name became permanently affiliated with
this program of excellence thanks to a game-changing
donation from alumnus and TU Trustee Jeffrey J.
McDougall.
A 1984 petroleum engineering graduate, McDougall
has epitomized achieving the American Dream through
education, hard work, and perseverance. He is well known
within the energy industry as the founder and president
of JMA Energy Company, one of the nation’s leading
independent oil and gas producers headquartered in
Oklahoma City.
As he built his successful enterprise, McDougall also
wished to provide opportunities for the next generation
of petroleum engineers. He found a natural partner with
his alma mater. McDougall’s $7.5 million gift created an
endowment for the petroleum engineering director, who
will lead the school and engage its many stakeholders.
The donation also established the Dr. Kermit Brown
Endowment Fund to support faculty through salary
supplements, research incentives, and future initiatives to
advance the school. To honor his support, the university
renamed the program the McDougall School of Petroleum
Engineering in October 2010.
As Tulsans since 1954, Evelyn Rayzor Nienhuis and her
late husband, Dr. Lester Nienhuis, supported TU in nearly
every way – from buying season tickets to sporting events,
to donations to the women’s rowing teams to a Presidential
Scholarship Endowment Fund. “We have such an affinity
with TU,” she says. “We knew it was really a growing,
important school, and it’s our home.”
Evelyn grew up in a giving household. Her father, an
important Houston attorney and businessman, used his
good fortune to donate to many causes, but primarily
educational causes including two buildings at Rice
University that carry the family name. “He would be for
anything that would forward education,” Evelyn notes.
When the university asked if she would be interested
in supporting the proposed electrical engineering and
computer sciences facility, Evelyn, with her husband’s
encouragement, made the generous lead gift for J. Newton
Rayzor Hall, in honor and memory of her father. TU’s
nationally recognized and highly regarded cybersecurity
program that is part of the computer sciences curriculum
would have intrigued her father “because he was a
visionary, and this program is on the cutting edge of
education.”
Thanks to Evelyn’s generosity, her family’s name and
educational legacy will anchor new advancements that will
shape the world in which we live.

Rogers
Samson
A Transformative Gift
Thinking Globally, Acting Locally
The name John Rogers is synonymous with
excellence in law and commitment to education within
the Tulsa community.
Recognized as one of the founding fathers of the
TU College of Law, John Rogers, Sr., served as dean
of the law school from 1949-1957. He also was a
university trustee, founded the Rogers and Bell Law
Firm, and served as attorney for Tulsa philanthropist
James A. Chapman.
His son, John Rogers, Jr., made his mark as a
successful commercial photographer, but it was his
estate that endowed a scholarship fund that, today,
provides more than 20 scholarships annually since the
gift was received in 2006. The younger Rogers and
his wife, Georgette, established the John and Hazel
Rogers Memorial Scholarship for Law to permanently
honor his parents. The transformative gift has helped
the law school attract and retain top students who are
dedicated to advancing the Rogers’ legacy of legal
education and advocacy.
TU Trustee Sharon Bell, a 1985 TU law graduate
and trustee of the Chapman Charitable Trusts, said
John Jr. was a personal friend and champion of the law
student.
“John was a modest person with a generous spirit,”
Sharon said. “He always loved students and wanted to
make it easier for them to go to law school. This was a
phenomenal gift for TU and the legal profession.”
Charles Schusterman – flanked by family, friends and
employees – spent years working to create a world in which
faith, community and education were of utmost importance.
A loving father and grandfather, Schusterman wanted to give
children and young adults in Tulsa, and around the world,
opportunities to become productive members of society.
His selfless goals have been funded in large part by
the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation
and Samson Resources, the oil and gas exploration and
production company that he founded 40 years ago.
The foundation was formed in 1987, and the business,
which has evolved into Samson Investment Company,
has grown into an international energy and investment
corporation led by the Schusterman’s daughter, Stacy.
The foundation generously supports Jewish educational
and artistic organizations globally. The family is also active
in Tulsa charities such as Community Food Bank of Eastern
Oklahoma and Community Action Project.
Through the latest major donation from the corporation,
TU is building Samson Plaza, a 1.5-acre pedestrian mall and
meeting space, which will connect the existing facilities with
J. Newton Rayzor Hall and Stephenson Hall, the newest
facilities for the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
Said Stacy Schusterman, Samson chairman and CEO,
“My father was driven to create a company that would make
a difference here in Tulsa and, indeed, throughout the world.
Today, the TU graduates who proudly work at Samson
exhibit that same drive and determination.”

Warren
Warrens Team Up with TU to
Advance Health Care,
Athletic Interests
Bill and Suzanne Warren’s ties to TU represent a
long-standing family tradition. As a nine-year-old boy, Bill
Warren remembers waiting at his father’s downtown office
on Saturdays until it was time for them take their seats
at Skelly Field for TU football games. His wife, Suzanne,
fondly recalls taking their two children to summer tennis
classes taught by Dean Orford, now TU women’s tennis
coach. The couple’s strong interest in athletics, combined
with a passion for community health as leaders of the Saint
Francis Health System, found a natural partner with TU.
Their generosity to the university has combined gifts in
both interests.
Most recently, the Warren Clinic Endowed Professorship
of Sports Administration has established a new certificate
program in the School of Nursing’s Exercise and Sports
Science program.
And, the Warren Foundation Chair in Bioinformatics —
an emerging discipline using statistics and computer science
to manage and analyze biological data — will stimulate
biomedical discovery through the partnership between TU
and the Laureate Institute for Brain Research.
Two premier teams playing together to make Tulsa a
stronger community?
That’s a win for everyone.

The Art of Giving
Serving with Pride
Jean Pape Adams (BA ’33) and her
daughter, Judith “Judy,” loved the arts
both as patrons and practitioners; Jean
was an accomplished pianist, and Judy
a painter and potter.
Since its formation in 2004,
the Judith and Jean Pape Adams
Charitable Foundation has made
nearly 60 grants to Tulsa arts
organizations and recently received
the 2010 John L. Everitt Harwelden
Award in recognition of that support.
TU was also among the Adams’
highest priorities. “TU was very close
to Jean’s heart,” says Marcia Manhart,
(BA ’65, MA ’71) Co-Trustee of the
Foundation along with Co-Trustee
Katherine Coyle (JD ’72 and a current
TU trustee).
Jean’s generous support of TU
includes several scholarships in her
parents’ names. And, today, Jean’s
love of the arts greets everyone
passing through the Judith and Jean
Pape Adams Colonnade at TU’s new
Lorton Performance Center.
Jean dreamed a facility like this
would be built at TU, Manhart said.
“Jean and Judy would be thrilled that
TU’s visionaries have brought one of
their dreams to life.”
Barbara and Nick Allen met on
a blind date their freshman year at
TU and spent most of their early
outings together attending campus
activities. Undoubtedly, the memories
they created then inspired their
continued support and commitment
to leadership today.
Together the Allens have held
many key positions, including
university trustee, Alumni Association
president, Golden Hurricane Club
president, Lettermen’s Association
lifetime members, chair of the
Trustees’ athletic committee and the
Collins College of Business Executive
Advisory Board chair.
The owner of Budco, Inc., Nick
(BS ’70) was recognized as a 2004 TU
Distinguished Alumnus, the highest
honor given to alumni. Barbara (BA
’70) worked at TU for 15 years before
retiring to focus on family. Since then,
she has served TU exceptionally well
on a volunteer basis.
The couple was instrumental
in developing the Case Athletic
Complex and H.A. Chapman
Stadium. Recently, they co-chaired the
athletic scholarship endowment fund,
which raised almost $13 million in
scholarships for student athletes.

34 The University of Tulsa
When Joe Ashlock contacted the
university about contributing to the
scholarship fund, he had an unusual
request: he and his wife, Patty (BA
’50), wanted scholarships for students
without perfect grades.
“I think C students rule the
world,” the 87-year-old Ashlock said
from his Anchorage, Alaska home.
“It’s important to help them get a few
years of college first.”
Joe is a 1943 graduate of Tulsa’s
Central High School and, although he
earned 142 hours of college credit, he
began his oil industry career before he
could finish his degree. The Ashlocks
moved to Alaska in 1970, when Joe’s
company won a contract to help build
the Alaskan Pipeline.
Despite leaving Tulsa after college,
both Ashlocks still have great affection
for their alma mater and have been
impressed by its growth and impact.
“Education is important,” Ashlock
said. “This is a great cause.”
Bailey
Beale
Blair
A Diverse Legacy
Life Lessons
The late John A. Bailey (MS
’59) served the university for 50
years with Petroleum Abstracts, the
clearinghouse for petroleum industry
publications. He joined TU in 1969 as
the information technology manager
for the emerging PA service.
As Petroleum Abstracts director,
Bailey focused on extending computer
capabilities and on promoting
subscriptions abroad – an effort
that included adventuresome travels
throughout the world’s oil producing
regions. In 1981, he returned his full
focus to Information Technology,
developing the division’s first webpage
and a number of electronic and
Internet products. He also taught computer science
throughout the ’70s and early ’80s.
Bethany Crow, a former student and
later colleague, remembers John as
“the kind of teacher who gives you
knowledge AND the confidence to
apply it.”
John was a generous donor to
TU, supporting the engineering
college, McFarlin Library, the Tulsa
Undergraduate Research Challenge,
the Presidential Scholars program and
other initiatives. He also established
a substantial estate gift honoring his
parents, Hattie V. and Coral M. Bailey.
Michelle Beale (BA ’66, JD ’77)
said her experiences at The University
of Tulsa and, subsequently, as a
Fulbright Fellow at the University of
Karachi, changed her life and shaped
the woman she would become.
Pakistan in the 1960s, as today,
was plagued by political instability.
Beale appreciated the time she spent
interacting with the Pakistani people
and learning how to see similarities
rather than differences.
“Although top-notch academic
training is critical to success in life –
and I believe students get that at TU
– learning involves much more than
classroom instruction,” said Beale, a
member of the TU Board of Trustees
and retired senior vice president for
Minute Maid Co.
To ensure that TU students can
participate in extracurricular activities,
Beale and her husband established
the R. Michelle Beale and Richard
H. Anderson Endowed Student
Enhancement Fund. The experiences
outside the classroom will help young
people develop leadership skills and
prepare them to excel.
Their generosity ensures that such
opportunities will exist for generations.
Nurturing TU
Through Steady,
Sustained Support
As a gardener, Bill Blair (BS
’50) knows how to nurture a tiny
seedling into a healthy plant. As
a retired petroleum landman, he
also understands the importance of
building relationships that grow into
profitable ventures.
Following those same principles,
Blair knew that his alma mater could
benefit from his steady and sustained
support, ultimately building a stronger
university.
Through the years, Bill has been
a stalwart university benefactor to the
Collins College of Business, McFarlin
Fellows, and several other areas of the
university’s endeavors.
In 1993, he initiated a gift that will
establish the Bill G. Blair Endowed
Chair in Business Administration, as
well as funding a generous scholarship
for students pursuing degrees in
accounting. Truly his gifts are evergreen.

A Chance to Give
Back
A Legacy of
Gratitude
At least once a day, something
will spark a memory of Charley
Bussey’s years as a TU student. Today,
Charley (BS ’72) owns Mazie Lumber
Company, the business his father
began in their hometown of Mazie,
Oklahoma.
Charley vividly remembers his first
day as a freshman. “I was a kid from
the dusty streets of Mazie, and there
I was, on a college campus, meeting
people from all over the world,” he
said. “I am so proud I got to go to
TU.”
His father’s death required Charley
to leave school often to care for the
family business and save money to
return. It took seven years to graduate,
inspiring his strong dedication to
helping others.
In addition to an estate gift to
provide endowed scholarships,
Charley also supported the
construction of H.A. Chapman
Stadium.
Daily memories of his years at
TU remind Charley that giving back
to his alma mater means “other kids
from Mayes County” will get their
chance to dream, too.
Thomas G. Clark (BS ’71) and
Claudette Campbell Clark (MBA ’79)
describe themselves as “typical TU
graduates.” Both had very successful
business careers and credit much of
their success to the education they
received at The University of Tulsa.
Through their estate gift, the Thomas
G. Clark Endowed Professorship
in Management will fund a faculty
position in the Collins College of
Business.
The Clarks say, “As an individual’s
business career responsibilities grow
to include management of both
people and capital, the knowledge
gained at TU serves as the foundation
for business success. A talented and
dedicated professor not only imparts
knowledge to their students, but
inspires them with the confidence to
perform and excel after graduation to
the highest level of their ability.”
This estate gift allows Tom and
Claudette to say thank you to The
University of Tulsa and allows the
Collins College of Business to seek
out and attract the highest quality
professors available.
As graduation draws near in Tulsa
every year, four students in each
high school receive a most wonderful
gift. They are given the distinctive
opportunity to attend TU.
Based on their academic merit
and the promise of succeeding at TU,
each student is awarded a generous
$6,000 scholarship from the Mervin
Bovaird Foundation.
The foundation, created in
1955 by Mabel W. Bovaird after the
death of her late husband, Mervin,
a principal at Bovaird Supply
Company, wants to ensure that the
best and brightest students in Tulsa
can continue their higher education
here at TU. With an astounding 50
scholarships offered, the foundation
puts going to the university within the
reach of as many students as possible.
The Bovaird Foundation’s
philanthropy has extended across
decades at TU, each time generously
helping various areas in need,
including the law school, the legal
clinic, the Collins College of Business
and Gilcrease Museum.

Building Alliances
Standing today as the world’s
third-largest energy company,
ConocoPhillips has been a driving
force in the industry since its humble
beginning in 1875. The company
owes a large measure of that
success to the strong partnerships it
has built both within the industry
and the communities in which it
operates, including establishing the
ConocoPhillips SPIRIT Scholars
Program at TU.
Through the program, the
company has developed an innovative
initiative to assist students interested
in careers in the energy industry.
The program provides qualified
students with academic scholarships,
enrichment activities, mentorships
with a company professional, and the
opportunity for internships or fulltime employment.
TU has been participating in
the SPIRIT Scholars Program
since 1997. The company’s support
has provided first-hand experience
and financial support to more than
100 TU students in petroleum
engineering, chemical engineering,
mechanical engineering and business,
many of whom have gone on to work
for ConocoPhillips.
As an energy industry leader, Joe
Craft has spent a lifetime harnessing
the power of natural resources. Rising
through the industry, he was named
president of Mapco’s coal segment in
1986. A business innovator, he later
formed Alliance Resource Partners,
LP, the first publicly traded master
limited partnership within the coal
industry. He serves as president, chief
executive officer and a director of
Alliance Resource Partners.
The same enterprising spirit Joe
brings to business he also has shared
with TU as member of its Board
of Trustees. His generous support
has given life to several key TU
initiatives during the recent campaign,
including the H.A. Chapman Stadium
construction, the Mabee Gym and the
Coaching Enhancement Fund.
A community leader, he has been
inducted in the Collins College of
Business Hall of Fame (2008) and the
Tulsa Hall of Fame (2007).
“I am very pleased to help TU
and its students face the challenges
of the 21st century in an academic
setting that offers rich resources for
success,” Joe says.
For more than a millennium, the
Muscogee (Creek) people have built
communities and a proud culture
throughout what is now known as
the southeastern United States. They
were not one tribe, but a union of
several who built alliances to form
a stronger whole. Today, Muscogee
(Creek) tribal leaders continue to
establish ties that strengthen and
nurture the greater community,
including its support of TU.
The Muscogee (Creek) have a
historic educational relationship with
TU, especially its Native American
programs. During the university’s
recently concluded campaign, the
tribe made strategic investments in
TU’s athletic programs. Its support
of the university’s coaching fund will
allow Golden Hurricane athletics
programs to attract and retain top
coaching talent, who have nurtured
athletic and academic excellence
from each of TU’s 18 intercollegiate
athletic teams. The tribe’s ancestors
were known for constructing
permanent earthen pyramids as part
of elaborate ceremonial complexes.
Today’s tribal leaders continue efforts
that establish lasting records of strong
relationships that will endure for the
generations that follow.

38 The University of Tulsa
Jonathan Detwiler’s life and career
have taken him a long way from his
days as a student in the College of
Engineering and Natural Sciences, but
he’s always generously remembered
his alma mater.
Detwiler (BS ’53) earned his
petroleum engineering degree and
worked briefly in the oil and gas
industry before returning to his
hometown in Pennsylvania. He joined
his father’s small trucking business
and grew the operation into a series
of diversified companies focused
on marine terminal activities and
stevedoring.
In 2004, he was inducted into the
ENS Hall of Fame. He has been a
longtime supporter of TU’s Annual
Fund, and also established the
Jonathan B. Detwiler Endowed Chair
in Petroleum Engineering through a
combination of current and planned
gift commitments.
“The first chapter of my ‘success
story’ was written at TU thanks, in
part, to those who came before me
and built an amazing university,” said
Detwiler. “Now it’s my turn to turn
the page and help future generations
of students do the same.”
In a business style that would come
to typify his entrepreneurial mindset,
John R. “Cy” Elmburg created the
now iconic bright red “jerry” gas can,
which would lead him into the world
of plastics. His company, Blitz USA,
then went on to develop consumer
products for the automotive, pet and
seasonal industries worldwide. Today,
he continues the family enterprises
under Crestwood Holdings, Inc.
A current TU Trustee, and a 2009
recipient of the Collins College of
Business Hall of Fame Outstanding
Entrepreneur Award, Elmburg made
generous campaign commitments
to the renovation of H.A. Chapman
Stadium and, most recently, to the
business programs in the Collins
College of Business.
His focus? Entrepreneurship. Cy
has a history of making history, and
his contributions to TU will create

Funai views his gifts to TU as an
investment that helps maintain the
value of the credentials of all alumni
and prepares future students to carry
on the university’s good name.
“When you go to a university,
you are a product of that university.
TU is part of my identity, and I have
a vested interest to help ensure its

allows me to assist TU in attracting
the highest caliber students, and I’m
excited about what that will mean for
our alumni base.”
Sarah and John (BS ’74) Graves
believe in making things better – for
their family, for the energy industry,
for their community, and for their
country. John built an independent
drilling and production company,
and the enterprising couple went
on to design a line of patented and
proprietary valves. The Graves have
turned that innovation into a thriving,
and still growing, enterprise: Cyclonic
Valve Co. Inc.
Their support of TU’s computer
science programs is driven by a
passion to protect intellectual property.
They generously stepped forward
to help fund key components of J.
Newton Rayzor Hall, lending their
name to an Enterprise Security Lab,
Reverse Engineering Lab, Critical
Infrastructure Lab, and Student
Commons.
The couple also has established
a full tuition scholarship for a Cyber
Corps student with an expressed
interest in using his or her education
and talent to serve our nation.
They also are dedicated
volunteers; Sarah, in particular, has
worked tirelessly on behalf of Family

When Pat and Don Hardin
moved to Tulsa in 1970, they made a
deliberate decision to become active
in the community, including attending
local collegiate sporting events. Pat
and Don soon became ardent Golden
Hurricane fans, supporting our teams
through lean times and championship
seasons.
When Don retired in 2008 from
his executive position with CCI
Corporation, the couple made
another conscious decision – to build
on their more than three decades of
philanthropic support to TU. Their
generosity has come broadly through
their involvement in the Golden
Hurricane Club to more targeted
projects like the Reynolds Center, the
Case Athletic Complex, and H.A.
Chapman Stadium.
Their passion for TU sports
inspired them to co-chair the Embrace
the Future Campaign’s Athletics
Committee, which was tasked with
raising $60 million in endowment
funding for student-athletes, coaches,

Since retirement, both Ellis and
Jean have been active supporters
of the university. In 2001, they
established the Brad Jenkins
Endowment Scholarship, named in
honor of their son, which will provide
ongoing scholarships for TU studentathletes and students enrolled in
special education, business and music.
The couple, who are members of
the TU Circle Society and members
of the Circle of Patrons for lifetime

donations will provide the financial
strength necessary to assure the
continued success of our outstanding
university.”
Nathan and Agnes (BA ’45) Janco
established a scholarship endowment
fund that carries their name in order
to provide financial assistance to
deserving students in the College of

An internationally recognized
pioneer of plastics and metal casting,
in 1940, Nathan founded the Tulsabased Centrifugal Casting Machine
Company. Nathan and his firm
revolutionized and patented the use
of centrifugal casting methods for
materials. Nathan and Agnes, his
wife of 66 years, also were leaders in
the Tulsa philanthropic community,
providing support and leadership for
area organizations including Tulsa
Opera, Tulsa Philharmonic Society
and the Tulsa Ballet. Nathan passed
away in 2006 and Agnes passed away

TU buildings, or gracing spaces inside
many buildings, old and new alike.
The Mabee Foundation’s legacy
at TU spans generations. In 1948,
John and Lottie Jane’s foundation
was created to “help those who help
themselves.” At TU, they have given
$17 million in gifts and pledges. Their
support enabled construction of the
Mabee Legal Information Center;
TU’s dormitories, John & Lottie Jane
Mabee Halls; Mabee Gymnasium,
and Collins Hall. The Foundation’s
gifts have also supported TU with
a reading clinic and a student loan
fund. Its most recent contribution
was for the engineering expansion
project, which includes construction
of Rayzor and Stephenson Halls,
renovation of Keplinger Hall, and
creation of Samson Plaza to link the
three engineering buildings together.
Six decades after the foundation’s
formation, John and Lottie Jane
Mabee’s legacy lives on at TU and
they remain key partners in building

“That includes TU, a premier private
university that is good for Tulsa, for
Oklahoma, and for our own family.”
In an interesting convergence of
events, Charles Meyers, Jr.’s (BS ’74)
connections to Gilcrease and TU have
come full circle since he was an 18
year-old TU student.
At his mother’s urging, Meyers
got a job at Gilcrease when he was
only 16. The museum became his
lifelong passion, fueled by his love
of cataloguing its treasures, sharing
its lore with radio listeners and
even rubbing elbows with Thomas
Gilcrease himself. Meyers relied on
his museum earnings to put himself
through TU. Today, he ably helps
TU master’s program students curate
their own penchant for museum
management by providing them
scholarships. “That TU and Gilcrease
are partnering combines my ongoing
love for both institutions,” Meyers
warmly offers.
Also while a student at TU,
Meyers played clarinet in the TU
marching band. An often underrecognized talent, clarinet players
are music to Meyers’ ears. So, he
continues to proudly march alongside
them, this time as a generous and
harmonious contributor and proud
supporter of the Sound of the Golden
Hurricane Marching Band.
Mildred M. Parker McKee, who
died five days after her 94th birthday
in 2010, had a lifelong love for
learning and education. She taught
school in several locations, earning a
doctorate in Home Economics from
TU, where she ultimately became
a full professor and Director of
Community Service. Her interests
were centered on the advancement
and education of women, and she was
instrumental in developing several
community-based programs to enrich
the lives of women and their families.
Although McKee and her
husband, Wade, had no children, her
outreach to her students encouraged
them to excel. In her hometown
of Mangum, Oklahoma, she is
remembered for her generous gifts to
the Mangum Public Library and for
donating the McKee Reading Corner
there.
Students at The University of
Tulsa also will benefit from the
Dr. Mildred M. McKee Women’s
Scholarship Fund, which provides a
full-tuition scholarship to a female
undergraduate majoring in education.

Attracting and
Retaining Top Talent
A Husband and Dad
Remembered
Supporting Tulsa’s
Jewel
A third-generation Tulsa business
leader, Frank W. Murphy III leads
the industrial controls company
founded by his grandfather in 1939.
Today, FW Murphy stands as one
of the most recognizable names
in the engine-powered equipment
industry. And in much the same way,
the Murphy name resonates within
the TU family thanks to the crucial
support from Frank, a TU Trustee,
and his wife, Diane.
As an astute businessman, Frank
knows the power of selecting and
retaining top talent in order to
execute a winning game plan. That
is why Frank and Diane have given
their support to the university’s
Coaching Enhancement Fund as
an investment in TU athletics. The
fund allows TU, which is the smallest
school in the NCAA’s Football Bowl
Subdivision, to attract and retain the
coaching talent needed to build an
athletics program that has won more
C-USA championships than any
other conference school. That kind
of investment does much to level the
playing field, making TU a stronger
competitor.
The late Lillian Norberg was an
ardent champion of education. At
the age of 96, she chose to honor the
memory of her husband by creating
the Hans A. Norberg Endowed
Chair in Electrical Engineering as a
permanent source of support for a
TU faculty member in the field of
Electrical Engineering. Hans and
Lillian’s children — retired TU faculty
member Anna Norberg Kestner and
Dr. Mary Kathryn Norberg Hoffman
— joined their mother in establishing
this memorial tribute to their father.
Hans A. Norberg was co-founder
and president of Nelson Electric
Manufacturing Company and, later,
president of Norberg Industries.
“My father was a distinguished
electrical engineer; he was an active
and prominent citizen of Tulsa; he
was a committed Presbyterian, so
a gift in his name to the Electrical
Engineering Department of The
University of Tulsa seemed to be
the perfectly fitting memorial” said
Anna Norberg, shown here with her
husband, Joseph Kestner.
Lillian passed away in 2006,
but through this endowed fund, her
commitment to advancing education
will continue in perpetuity.
While TU Trustee Robert
Norman and his wife, Sandra, are
not alumni, the couple has a strong
affiliation with the university thanks to
family members who graduated from
TU, including their two daughters,
two sisters and Bob’s brother.
The tradition continues with the
enrollment of their grandson.
Before founding Southwestern
Wire Cloth in Broken Arrow in 1981,
Bob graduated from Arkansas Tech
University on a football scholarship.
He knew firsthand the importance
scholarships make both to the student
and the athletics program. It was a
natural fit for the couple to create the
Robert and Sandra Norman StudentAthlete Scholarship Endowment
Fund.
“We have been so impressed that a
small university competes at the level
TU has,” said Bob and Sandra, who
served on the Athletic Scholarship
Endowment Committee for the recent
campaign.
“It’s fun to be able to help make a
difference for these students.”

True Love for TU
TU and ONEOK have been
partners in Tulsa for more than a
century. From humble beginnings in
pre-statehood Oklahoma, ONEOK
today is a Fortune 500 company
recognized as one of the nation’s
premier energy companies involved
in the natural gas and natural
gas liquids businesses. Caron A.
Lawhorn (BS ’83), president of
ONEOK Distribution Companies,
said ONEOK’s support of TU is a
natural extension of its long-standing
commitment to making strategic
investments in the communities in
which it operates.
The company established the
ONEOK Endowed Professorship of
Business Administration at TU in
2004 to recruit leading faculty to the
Collins College of Business.
Most recently, the company also
provided crucial support for the new
Reynolds Center scoreboard to be
installed for the 2011-12 basketball
season and renovation of H.A.
Chapman Stadium, which includes
both the ONEOK Suites and the
ONEOK Club Level. ONEOK’s
steady support has helped fuel a new
era at The University of Tulsa.
The Oxley Foundation for decades
has honored its namesake family by
giving to the Tulsa community and to
support education, conservation, the
arts and other enrichment programs.
John T. Oxley, who attended TU
Law School, found success at Warren
Petroleum before launching Texas
Natural Gasoline, which he sold to
Allied Chemical in 1961. In 1962, he
started a second oil company, Oxley
Petroleum, with his son, John C. Oxley.
In what would evolve into an
intergenerational avocation, John
played polo well into his 80’s, and with
his wife, Mary, raised polo ponies at
Greenhill Farm north of Tulsa. In the
1970s, they established the Mary K.
Oxley Nature Center in Mohawk Park.
Mary passed away in 1987, followed by
John in 1996.
At TU, The Oxley Foundation most
recently supported the construction
of Collins Hall and J. Newton Rayzor
Hall, including funding for cyber
security initiatives. It also established
the Darcy O’Brien Endowed Chair,
and the J. Bradley Oxley Endowed
Chair in Business Administration
in honor of Mary and John’s late
grandson, who was an alumnus and
Tulsa entrepreneur.
44 The University of Tulsa
Hopelessly falling in love with a
girl named Betty Jean and fervently
following the basketball team are
memories Charles Powell treasures of
TU.
His romance at TU with Betty
Jean flourished into marriage after
their 1950 graduation, and Charles’
love of basketball was almost as
intense. He followed each game,
either in person or over the airwaves.
So, he created the Charles O. and
Betty Jean Powell Endowment Fund,
providing merit-based scholarships
— first, for members of Betty Jean’s
sorority, Delta Delta Delta, and
second, for student athletes.
Of course, as a hoops fanatic,
Powell did ask that men’s basketball
players get first preference for the
athletic scholarships. You can’t blame
him.
It was his way of seeing TU
students continue to make their goals.

Blazing the Trail
Rewarding Tenacity,

Four Generations of

Hard work and tenacity are
two attributes that define Wayne
Rumley (BS ’60), and he credits TU
for providing the foundation for his
success.
A 2004 inductee into TU’s
Engineering and Natural Sciences
Hall of Fame, Rumley serves as
President and Chief Process Engineer
for R&R Engineering, a Tulsa-based
manufacturer of heat exchangers. Just
as he built his business, he is building
opportunities for TU students. He
helped establish the W.L. Nelson
Chemical Engineering Alumni
Scholarship Fund to honor the
professor who shaped his future at TU
and beyond.
As a student who held down a fulltime job, Rumley knew firsthand the
hardships of balancing both work and
school, which is why he established
another scholarship for chemical
engineering students whose financial
situation requires them to work
through school.
Rumley also has established a
scholarship for students who wish
to serve people with disabilities as a
tribute to one of his sons who has a
disability and his son’s mother, the late
Barbara Joan Rumley, who was an
advocate for the disabled.
The Sharp, Buford and Siegfried
families have one of the most storied
records of giving at TU.
TU Trustee Jo Buford Siegfried’s
mother, Martha Buford, is the
granddaughter of Robert C. Sharp,
an oilman who served as chairman
of Oklahoma Natural Gas. Bob
and his wife, Joe, funded Sharp
Chapel’s construction and a perpetual
endowment for maintenance and
programs.
Jo’s husband, Tray Siegfried (MBA
’98), is a United States Air Force
lieutenant colonel and F-16 pilot, as
well as director of aerospace services
at The Persimmon Group, a Tulsa
consulting firm. The Siegfrieds are
avid Golden Hurricane fans and
continue the tradition of supporting
TU.
The Sharps’ endowment funded
four presidential, three trustee, and
five provost scholarships during the
Embrace the Future Campaign.
“The Sharp family scholars help
the university fulfill its multifaceted
educational mission,” Jo Siegfried
said.
A lifelong trailblazer, Genave
King Rogers became the first woman
to graduate from TU’s College of
Business Administration. With her
degree in hand and a zest for her
future, she became a prominent Tulsa
investor and philanthropist in service
to her alma mater and to the Tulsa
community until her death in 2010.
Besides the example she
set for generations of aspiring
businesswomen, her TU legacy also
includes the Genave King Rogers
Business Law Center; the Leslie
Rogers Memorial Scholarship Fund
named in honor of her late husband;
the Rogers Rookie Challenge, a
matching grant fund; and the bonfire
pit on the “U,” the traditional site of
the homecoming kick-off celebration.
During the campaign, she provided
funding for the beautiful Genave King
Rogers Fountain that is the focal point
of Chapman Commons. She also
supported women’s rowing, which has
a racing shell named in her honor.
Genave was the inaugural
recipient of the J. Paschal Twyman
Distinguished Service Award in 1992,
was named to TU’s Business Hall
of Fame in 1999, and was named in
2000 as a Distinguished Alumna, the
university’s highest honor.

Healing Hands,
Endless Spirit
A Passion for
Education
Helping Others
Mary Lhevine (BS ’82) and her
husband, Dr. George Schnetzer,
have a history of helping Tulsans:
individually and together, they have
worked tirelessly for educational
causes, medical services, programs
that serve the underprivileged, and
organizations that advance the arts
and humanities.
George and Mary have supported
TU initiatives, perhaps none as
vigorously as McFarlin Library where
they are members of The Ben Graf
Henneke Society and McFarlin
Fellows. They have supported
Gilcrease Museum, the Arts and
Sciences Annual Fund, and the Tulsa
Undergraduate Research Challenge,
where George served as chairman of
the advisory committee.
The pair also established the Mary
H. Lhevine and George W. Schnetzer
Provost Scholarship Endowment
Fund, the first of its kind at TU
to provide need-based support to
students from any discipline.
Inspired by the university’s
ascent and enriched by their many
associations there, these loving
partners find joy in their selfless
service to others.
Emma Showman loved children,
although she had none of her own.
As a former teacher, she believed
passionately in education because it
had pulled her out of poverty. And,
when she married Tulsa oilman and
rancher Pete Thompson in the mid1930s, she educated herself about
business, helping to grow the couple’s
wealth after Thompson’s death, and
during her later marriage to local
dermatologist Dr. Winfred Showman.
A woman of integrity and
foresight, Emma ensured that others
would have the opportunity for an
education by directing part of her
estate to The University of Tulsa. Her
most recent gift will provide meritbased scholarships to students in TU’s
Master of Business Administration
program, assuring their success in
business and in life.
46 The University of Tulsa
College can be life changing,
and no one knows that better than
Richard “Dick” Small. As a Cornell
College freshman in Mount Vernon,
Iowa, though he’d “never even seen a
wrestling match before,” Dick gave it
his best as member of the celebrated
1947 “Dream Team,” which, against
all odds, won the NCAA Division I
and AAU Championship.
That defining moment began
Dick’s lifelong quest to help other
students realize their potential
through his support of private higher
education. When the retired oilman
moved to Tulsa in 1992 with his wife,
Norma, they immediately got involved
with TU.
The Smalls are loyal supporters
of the Golden Hurricane Club, “with
more blue and gold in our closets
than you can imagine.” They also
contributed to the renovation of the
law school’s Moot Court and the
Mabee Legal Information Center.
Most recently during the Embrace
the Future Campaign, the Smalls
established two planned gifts to create
the Richard P. and Norma T. Small
Endowed Scholarship in Law and
the Richard P. and Norma T. Small
Endowed Provost Scholarship Fund.
Steele

Swindell
Legacy Lives On
Quiet Support
Charles A. and Louise M. Steele
were devoted Tulsans, who called the
city home for many years. Charles, a
celebrated Tulsa pioneer, had a long,
distinguished career as both a banker
and an attorney practicing law for 63
years. The Steeles believed strongly
in giving back to their community,
and Mr. Steele volunteered at TU,
Children’s Medical Center, the
Tulsa Boys Home and Oral Roberts
University, sharing his time, talent and
treasure with these organizations and
institutions.
While living, the Steeles
established trusts to create the Charles
A. and Louise M. Steele Endowment
Fund for the College of Law and the
Collins College of Business. Each
year, recipients in the Collins College
of Business MBA program and the
College of Law who uphold high
academic standards are eligible for
these merit-based scholarships and
are known as Steele Business Scholars
and Steele Law Scholars.
Having had many extended family
members as TU alumni, the Steele’s
scholarships provide invaluable
opportunities for today’s students,
while perpetuating the lives and
legacy of these far-sighted donors.
Jess and Miriam Stevens were
“just plain folks” who made a living
ranching and investing in the stock
market. While they never had a family
of their own, they loved children and
were known to help families in need,
but always very discreetly because
they never wanted attention for their
gifts.
After Jess died, Miriam continued
privately giving to organizations that
supported children. Following her
death, hundreds of letters were found
in her house from children from all
over the world thanking her the gifts
that had benefited their families and
their lives.
The couple established a
foundation to support education,
medical care and research, and
other needs. At TU, their namesake
foundation created the Jess L. and
Miriam B. Stevens Foundation
Endowed Presidential Scholarship, the
Jess and Miriam Stevens Foundation
Endowment for Rowing, and the
Charles C. Killin Music Scholarship
Endowment in memory of Killin, a
former trustee for both TU and the
Stevens Foundation.
Promoting

from TU in 1950, where he was
a member of Chi Lambda Alpha
and the TU Marching Band. After
graduation, he embarked on a
successful military career in the U.S.
Air Force Reserve.
In recognition of his personal
commitment to promote excellence
in higher education, he established
the Lt. Col. James Robert Swindell,
USAF (Ret.) Presidential Scholarship
Endowment for the Collins College of
Business.
The Presidential Scholarship
endowment will provide up to eight
merit-based scholarships to the
most talented and highest caliber
freshmen entering the Collins College
of Business, as well as provide two
scholarships to students majoring in
nursing.
Throughout Col. Swindell’s 61

Robert Thomas (BS ’75) and
William Thomas (BS ’74), co-owners
of Senior Star in Tulsa, have been
best friends, football teammates,
classmates, and business partners
throughout their lives.
Much to the benefit of TU and
many other worthwhile organizations,
the Thomas twins and their wives
have generously given their time and
money to make great things happen.
Bob’s wife, Jill, is a TU alumna (BA
’77, JD ’86); and Susan is a tireless
advocate alongside Bill, who serves
as a TU Trustee. The Thomases are
members of The 1930 Society of the
Golden Hurricane Club.
The couples are, perhaps, best
known on campus for the Thomas
Challenge, which encouraged TU
lettermen, alumni and friends to be
part of the historic renovation of H.A.
Chapman Stadium. The Thomas
families matched all gifts to the
challenge. They also made possible
the elegant Thomas Plaza, the paved
and landscaped courtyard just west of
the stadium that has quickly become
an integrated part of the game-day
experience, as well as a popular
location for many campus events.
Carole Tucker is “amazed”
every time she hears about a new
project at TU. When she attended
in the 1950s, “it was nothing like
we’re experiencing now,” she says,
remembering when she needed a
university loan to pay tuition. (She
received an honorary degree in 2007.)
She and her late husband, Gene,
(BSBA ’51) are the namesakes for
Tucker Drive, TU’s new “welcoming
corridor and first impression,” as
Carole calls it, Tucker Drive. Other
beneficiaries of the Tuckers are the
university’s tennis program and the
Collins College of Business.
Exciting things are happening
at TU, Carole says, “I will be there
for TU and hopefully so will a lot of
other people. We are on a run. Let’s
go with it.”

he already had two degrees and was
working in the oil industry.
Wavrek chose the university to
pursue his doctorate because of
its strong engineering and geology
programs.
While here, he was deeply
influenced by graduate Professor
Colin Barker, whom he calls “one
of the founding fathers of modern
geochemistry.”
After more than 20 years, Wavrek
and his wife, Beth, maintain close ties
with Barker and his family.
Today, president of the highly
successful Petroleum Systems
International in Utah, Wavrek chose
to honor his longtime friend and
mentor by establishing the Colin
Barker Geosciences Graduate Student
Endowment Fund and bequesting a
gift that will keep it growing ... just like
their friendship.

Among their many gifts to TU,
former trustee and 2006 Distinguished
Alumnus Michael Wiley (BS ’72) and
his wife, Laura, recently established
an endowed Graduate Business
Scholarship as part of the Collins
College of Business MBA Initiative.
They also generously supported
the Brill Scholarship Challenge for
Petroleum Engineering.
Now retired, Wiley was CEO of
Vastar Resources following his service
as top executive with both ARCO
and Baker Hughes. He originally
planned to attend college on an
athletic scholarship, but a knee injury
ended that dream. Instead his grades
qualified him for a TU Petroleum
Honors Scholarship. It provided
tuition and summer employment
through a sponsor – ARCO. The
scholarship, Wiley says, “gave me
and others like me a chance for an
outstanding education, and I have
been fortunate to have the chance to
give a little back.”
In 1908, Miller and David
Williams started a construction
company with the motto: “A good
job on time.” Today, Williams stands
as a leading integrated natural gas
company assisting TU business
students through its endowment
of the Director of Business Career
Services position, a crucial element to
the success of the Williams Student
Services Center in Helmerich Hall.
Throughout its dynamic history,
Williams has consistently aided TU’s
mission. During this campaign, the
company supported the Case Athletic
Complex and TU’s engineering
expansion project through funding
of the student chapter room and
the petroleum engineering chair’s
office in Stephenson Hall, now
under construction as the new
home to petroleum and mechanical
engineering.
Through their gifts, Williams has
best positioned TU students to secure
“a good job on time.”
Duane (BS ’62) and Helen Wilson
support TU because they know
firsthand how important scholarship
funding can be.
When Duane was a student, the
generosity of others helped him
obtain his chemical engineering
degree. “I’ve always felt deeply
appreciative to those who provide
scholarships, particularly to support
those, like myself, who have a need,”
he says.
After a successful career as
an executive with Conoco (now
ConocoPhillips) and today as a
consultant, Duane is paying it forward
as a member of the TU Board of
Trustees. Duane and Helen served
as co-chairs (with Chip and Sharon
McElroy) of the Engineering and
Natural Sciences Expansion portion
of the campaign. Helen, a selfconfessed “cheerleader” for TU,
explains the couple’s active support
in everything from the College of
Engineering and Natural Sciences to
the Golden Hurricane Club this way: “TU has made gigantic progress in
the last few years, and we need to
sustain the momentum.”

He made his mark in business,
along with his father and brother,
building Tulsa-based Sooner Pipe

It has been said, “When

Chairman of the Board for
Williams Companies, Bailey
is equally at home on a
gridiron or in a boardroom,
and supports a wide range
of professional, charitable
and higher education
entities.
Bailey, currently a TU
trustee and a past board
chairman, along with his
wife, Pat, believes quality
education is central to a
thriving society. The couple
was one of the early and
ardent supporters of the
Tulsa Undergraduate
Research Challenge,
establishing an endowment
for TURC scholars. They
have also actively supported
the Annual Fund for
the Colleges of Business
and Engineering and the
Golden Hurricane Club,
as well as pivotal funding
for the state-of-the-art Case
Athletic Complex.
A generous gift from
the late Bob and Bernice
Bayless (both in the
Class of 1949) provided
the university with a
picturesque setting for
students to carry on TU’s
most cherished tradition —
ringing the historic Kendall
Bell after completing
their last final exam,
signaling their readiness for
graduation.
The 7,500-squarefoot Bayless Plaza, the
first milestone in the $30
million project to develop
the campus along 11th
Street, is a welcoming place
where future generations of
students will make lasting
memories of their own.
“TU traditions played
a large part in our parents’
lives,” says their son, Rob
Bayless. “We are pleased
that our parents’ legacy
will live on each semester,
as TU students celebrate
important milestones on
the plaza that carries their
names.”
Quality solutions and
personalized relationships
are the cornerstones of
any good business. Not
only does Roger Collins,
pictured above, manage
his own business affairs on
that premise, he also applies
those principles to the
Collins College of Business
as one of the founding
members of the college’s
Executive Advisory Board,
a member of the TU Board
of Trustees, and a Friend
of Finance.
Along with his wife,
Francy; his brother, the
late Fulton Collins and
wife, Susie; Roger created
the Collins Faculty
Endowments in the Collins
College of Business
to recruit and retain
preeminent faculty.
“Faculty are on the
front lines as leaders of
the educational process,”
Roger explains. “One
or two faculty members
can elevate an entire
college’s profile,” he says.
“Technology informs, but
people inspire.”
Dr. Jacob Jorishie (BS
’71, BA ’08) grew up in
TU’s shadow. The 1967
honors graduate from
Will Rogers High School
recalls marching on Skelly
Field with his high school’s
marching band. When he
was ready for college, there
was only one school he
applied to – TU.
Over the years, Jorishie’s
consistent support of TU
has benefited students
through scholarships; the
School of Music with stateof-the-art equipment and
the Dr. Jacob W. Jorishie
Music Technology Lab and
the Dr. Jacob W. Jorishie
Practice Suite; and the
university, where he serves
as one of the dentists for
all athletic teams. The
university recognized his
unwavering enthusiasm
by naming him the 2008
J. Paschal Twyman Award
winner.
“There truly is no
greater gift in life than the
gift of giving,” Jorishie
notes. “To me, the greatest
reward at the end of one’s
life journey is to be able to
say, ‘I’m glad I did,’ rather
than ’I wish I had.’”

also generously supported
the construction of Rayzor
Hall, where the first floor
lobbies and vestibules will
carry the family name.
Charles Scott (BSBA
’52) knows much of TU’s
history because he has lived
it – as an award-winning
All-American drum major
of the Golden Hurricane
Marching Band, as a
business faculty member,
director of the TU
Management Development
Center, as a volunteer for
the TU Alumni Association
and as past chairman
of the Alumni Heritage
Committee.
Chuck and his wife,
Ginny, have made
numerous gifts to TU
including the Virginia C.
and Charles L. Scott Hall
of Honor Endowment
Fund, the Chuck and
Ginny Scott Trustees
Scholarship Endowment
Fund, the Chuck and
Ginny Scott Endowment
Fund for the Center for
Executive and Professional
Development, and the
Chuck and Ginny Scott
Endowment for the TU
Marching Band.
“Giving back to TU is a
token of True Blue respect
and loving appreciation for
this great institution,” the
couple said.
Better Lives,
Stronger
Communities
The John Steele Zink
Foundation has provided
support to numerous
Tulsa-area cultural and
civic programs, including
major TU initiatives. The
foundation was established
by the late manufacturing
giant John Steele Zink
to help people build
better lives and stronger
communities.
These characteristics
were passed along to his
children, Jill Zink Tarbel
and Jack Zink, pictured
above.
At TU, the foundation
supported construction of
Collins Hall and the Jack
Zink Rowing Center in
Mabee Gym. Collins Hall
includes the Jill Zink Tarbel
Heritage Room, which
provides a comfortable
gathering space and
“history center” to display
TU memorabilia. The
rowing center provides
an on-campus training
facility for the nationally
competitive rowing team.
Embrace the Future 53
“The Embracing the Future tagline — it’s all about people — aptly describes our campaign cabinet. We love
our volunteers — people who have many interests but a powerful common goal. We are thrilled and grateful
that the selfless men and women leading the campaign committees have indeed embraced a vision of what our
city and our university can become. They are passionate about TU and its students and have been enormously
generous with their own resources as we launch this far-reaching and important initiative.”
