History of Oklahoma State University
The story of Oklahoma State University began on Christmas Eve, 1890, at the McKennon Opera
House in Oklahoma’s territorial capital of Guthrie when Territorial Governor George W. Steele
signed legislation establishing an Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC) in Payne
County. OAMC’s first students assembled for class on December 14, 1891, even though there
were no buildings, no books, and no curriculum. The college’s first students attended classes in the
Stillwater Congregational Church. The original campus consisted of 200 acres of prairie that were
donated by four local homesteaders. The college’s first six graduates received their diplomas in 1896.
Visitors to the OSU campus often marvel at its beauty and consistency of architecture. Much of
the credit goes to legendary president, Henry G. Bennett, who served from 1928-1951. Dr. Bennett’s 25-year campus master plan envisioned some of the university’s most famous and beautiful
structures, including the Edmon Low Library and the OSU Student Union. A new campus master
plan is guiding unprecedented construction that is making OSU more competitive in academics and
athletics. Starting in the fall of 2008, OSU has opened the new Multimodal Transportation Terminal, the new North Classroom Building, the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium, refurbished
Old Central, the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building, an upgraded Murray Hall, the new
Henry Bellmon Research Center, an updated and expanded Student Union, the Greenwood Tennis
Center, and the innovative University Commons residential complex. Hall of Fame Avenue on the
north and University Avenue on the south, as well as core north-south artery Monroe Street, have all
been significantly upgraded, and the university continues to update its campus landscape plan.
OSU grew quite rapidly following World War II. The post-war years were marked by a huge
enrollment surge. Some graduates from that era may remember “Veteran’s Village,” a thriving community that developed on the northwest edge of campus as veterans and their families moved into
surplus military housing provided by the college. The mid-1940s also were a golden era for athletics
at Oklahoma A&M. In a 90-day period in early 1945, OAMC teams won the Cotton Bowl, the
NCAA championship in wrestling, and the NCAA championship in basketball. The next year, the
wrestling and basketball teams repeated as national champions, and the football team won the Sugar
Bowl.
Coaches and players from that era are now sports legends. Coach Henry Iba set a national standard in basketball and Edward Gallagher took OAMC wrestling teams to international prominence.
People often ask when OSU made the transition from college to university. By the 1950s the college had grown substantially. Suggested names for a “new” institution were “Great Plains University,” “International University,” and “Atomic University.” In 1957, OAMC became The Oklahoma
State University for Agriculture and Applied Science. During the next three decades, OSU would
build academic programs to match its new status. Enrollment more than doubled from 10,385
in 1957 to more than 23,000 in the 1980s. OSU became a statewide university system, adding
branches in Okmulgee in 1946 and Oklahoma City in 1961. OSU merged with the Oklahoma College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988, and OSU-Tulsa was born in 1999.
Today, OSU has more than 35,000 students across five campuses and a presence in every Oklahoma county through its extension offices and experiment stations. From six graduates in 1896, to
nearly 5,000 annually today, the small college on the prairie has grown and prospered far beyond
the dreams of its founders. OSU teaching, research and graduates are making a bigger impact on the
lives of people around the world than ever before. It’s a great time to be a Cowboy!

Written by Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by Richard Rodgers
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain,
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin' lazy circles in the sky
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say -Yeeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!
We’re only sayin' You’re doin' fine, Oklahoma!

Honorary Degree Recipient and Commencement Speaker
John F. Niblack, PhD
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters
John F. Niblack, Ph.D., retired from Pfizer Inc in
September, 2002, where he was Vice Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the company, and President,
Pfizer Global Research and Development. His career
at Pfizer spanned 35 years, and almost every aspect of
R&D operations.
As President of Pfizer’s Global Research and
Development division, and its principal scientific officer,
Dr. Niblack managed the largest pharmaceutical
research force in the world industry, with 12,000
researchers operating on an annual research budget of
over $5 billion.
During Dr. Niblack’s tenure, Pfizer Global Research and Development was the largest,
privately-funded biomedical research organization in the world, with activities spanning
research across almost every area of medical need, including cancer, cardiovascular
disease, mental illness, infectious disease, and metabolic disorders. Products introduced
under Dr. Niblack’s direction included Norvasc(anti-hypertensive), Zithromax (antibiotic),
Zoloft (antidepression), Diflucan (anti-fungal), and Viagra; all became multi-billion
dollar products. Dr. Niblack was also responsible for external product Licensing and
Development operations of the corporation, and for a time was responsible for Pfizer’s
Animal Health division.
Dr. Niblack earned a B.S. Degree in chemistry from Oklahoma State University in l960,
and received his M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees in biochemistry from the University of Illinois in
l968.
Author and co-author of numerous scientific publications, Dr. Niblack was active during
his career on a number of editorial boards and professional societies. In 1999, he received
the Mayor of New York’s Award for Excellence in Science and Technology, and was
named Research Director of the Year by the Financial Times of London.
Dr. Niblack and his wife Heidi apportion their time in retirement between New York,
Palm Beach, Florida, and Lyme, Connecticut, where they are active in community and
philanthropic activities. In retirement, Dr. Niblack has also served as a consultant and
board member for companies involved in biopharmaceutical research, development,
and investment. He has also been active on the boards of a number of not-for-profit
organizations, to include the New York Academy of Sciences, Connecticut College, the
Florence Griswold Museum of Old Lyme, Connecticut, the Norton Museum of Art in
Palm Beach, Florida, and the South Florida Science Museum.

Honorary Degree Recipient and Commencement Speaker
Bill Goldston - Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts
Bill Goldston was born in Hatch, New Mexico, in
1943. He grew up on a farm in Southern Oklahoma
and graduated from Lindsay High School in 1963.
He attended Oklahoma State University and received
his BFA in 1966. Upon graduation, he continued
his art education by attending the University of
Minnesota in Minneapolis. In September of 1967,
he was drafted into the US Army and completed two
years serving as a commercial printer, and returned
to the University in 1969.
Zigmunds Priede, his printmaking instructor and
a former printer at Universal Limited Art Editions
(U.L.A.E.), asked if he would accompany him to
work the summer of 1969 at U.L.A.E.
Bill continued to fly back and forth between New York and Minnesota until he finished
his M.F.A. degree. By the end of January 1971, he moved his family to Long Island and,
along with the intaglio printer Don Steward, began working full time for ULAE. Bill
quickly moved into a leadership position. At times he compares the running of the studio
to that of the evolution of a painting, “It goes in a direction and you simply follow it and
tomorrow is a different day.”
By the 1980s, Bill was familiar with all aspects of the business and was ready to return to
the initial spirit of the studio. He purchased different and larger presses and established
two additional off-site workshops, one primarily for intaglio near the house on Skidmore
Place and the other in the TriBeCa section of Manhattan. The latter gave the artists
with young children the flexibility to work unusual hours and remain close to home. By
1995, their children were old enough to be left at school for the day and the artists chose
to return to the studios on Long Island. The TriBeCa studio was closed, and a 7000
square foot multipurpose studio was opened less than three miles from Skidmore Place.
Today, everything from lithography, intaglio, and silkscreen, to the building of crates,
goes on at the building the employees call “Clinton.”
In guiding ULAE’s expansion, Bill has maintained the sense of community and spirit
always associated with the house on Skidmore Place. Only one artist is scheduled to
visit the studio on a given day. That artist and between five to seven printers, additional
ULAE staff, interns, and visiting collectors, writers, or curators, are served a traditional
family-style lunch. Business is still conducted at one end of the house while prints are
stored and shown upstairs in a small attic room. The center of the house holds rows of
worn lithographic stones and a handfed transfer press that Grosman had installed in the
late 1950s. All of this is essential to the business’ success and all of it is part of history.

Honorary Degree Recipient
Walt Garrison - Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters
Walt Garrison grew up in Lewisville, Texas, in a
family of modest means. Working the midnight shift
at the American Nut Company factory by packaging
commodity peanut butter for welfare programs
and servicemen, Walt was earning money to help
support himself as well as his family. Well liked
by his supervisor and owner, he needed financial
assistance to attend college. Through the help of his
supervisor’s brother, he was awarded a scholarship
to attend OSU and play football. OSU’s willingness
to provide support to a young man from Texas has
meant so much to Walt Garrison that he has always
supported OSU and their activities in whatever way
possible.
Enrolling at OSU in 1962 and majoring in Animal Husbandry with a Pre-Veterinary
medicine emphasis, he was a model student. Although a significant amount of his time
was devoted to football, he was an excellent student and a role model for many of the
students enrolled in the College of Agriculture at OSU. Because of his stellar football
career at OSU, Walt was selected to play in numerous all-star games at the end of the
1965 season, including the East-West Shrine game, the Senior Bowl, the Coaches AllAmerican game and the College All-Star game. Entering the National Football League
draft in 1966, Walt Garrison was selected by “America’s Team”, the Dallas Cowboys.
Although he had not completed his university degree, the opportunity to pursue a
professional football career with his favorite and hometown team was too much to
turn down. Nevertheless, Walt returned to OSU in the spring of 1967 to complete
additional classes toward his degree. Few professional players return to the university
to continue their education after entering professional sports, but OSU meant so much
to Walt Garrison that he completed another semester of course work. After the spring
1967 semester, Walt returned to Dallas to continue his professional football career
that spanned from 1966 to 1974. During his Dallas Cowboys career, Walt played in
two Super Bowls, winning the 1971 Super Bowl Championship and was named to
two NFL Pro Bowl Teams. Walt Garrison has been honored by election to the Texas
Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of
Fame, and the Oklahoma State Hall of Honor. In 2011, Walt Garrison was honored
with the Ben Johnson Award by the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.
After retirement from the National Football League, Walt became a promotional
star for the American Tobacco Company for over 30 years. His down home, country
personality was magnetic to many throughout the nation. Today, he is able to utilize
his celebrity status and his gregarious personality to participate in and/or host
many charitable fundraising events benefiting charity organizations in the Dallas-Ft.
Worth Metroplex and throughout the nation. Always a major supporter of rodeo, he
continues in the sport of rodeo and utilizes his talents to support the University Rodeo
Team of OSU.

The list of fall 2015 degree candidates was prepared before final grades were reported, and
inclusion herein does not constitute evidence of graduation. Final action to ensure an accurate
listing of names of all persons qualified for degrees could not be compiled before this program
went to print. The listing of a name in this program should not be construed as an indication
that the person will in fact receive a fall 2015 degree from Oklahoma State University at this
commencement. Conversely, the absence of a student’s name from this list does not necessarily
mean the person will not be awarded a degree. Final certification of degree and academic
distinction will be made by the Colleges and the Registrar after candidates have completed all
degree requirements.
Graduation with Distinction
The following final grade-point-average distinctions are determined at degree completion and
will appear on undergraduate diplomas and transcripts:
Summa cum laude
Magna cum laude

3.90-4.00

Academic Regalia
The robes, hats and hoods worn by faculty members and graduates as they march into the commencement
hall, and even the different colors you see on them, have historical origins and significance.
During the Middle Ages, scholars at the earliest English and European universities wore wool or fur
garments to stay warm in the drafty, stone buildings that were poorly heated. Most of the scholars were
also monks or priests, and as such had the hair shaved from the crowns of their heads in the distinctive
clerical tonsure. Most wore cloaks that included a hood that could be pulled up to keep their heads warm.
The academic gowns and hoods were adapted from both secular and clerical garments of the time, and the
hood was chosen by the early scholars to indicate by color, trim or binding the degree held by the wearer.
The style of academic dress most frequently worn in the United States dates back to colonial times,
although it was not formally adopted until near the end of the 19th Century, when it was chosen as
appropriate attire by the Intercollegiate Commission during a meeting in New York. It has remained the
general standard in America since, although some variations occur at individual institutions. In the United
States, black is the traditional color for academic gowns, although some institutions allow holders of
doctoral degrees to wear robes in the university’s colors.
The sleeves of the robes vary, depending on the degree held by the wearer. The bachelor’s robe has long,
pointed sleeves. The master’s robe has sleeves that are oblong and closed at the ends, with slits through
which the arms may be extended. The doctoral robe has a full sleeve with a velvet facing on the front and
at the neck, and three velvet bars on each sleeve. The velvet may be black or of a color that symbolizes the
degree held by the wearer.
The head covering most commonly used in the United States is the square, tasseled “mortarboard.” Some
American universities, however, use berets, and in other countries a variety of styles of head coverings
is worn with academic regalia. The tassel is usually black and is worn over the left front quarter of the
mortarboard. Holders of doctoral degrees may wear gold tassels.
The hood is the most distinctive feature of American academic dress, which through color and design may
indicate the wearer’s degree and the institution at which that degree was earned. Hoods are lined with the
colors of the institution that awards the degree, and may be faced with the color designating the degree
awarded. Hoods vary in length. The bachelor’s hood is about three feet long, the master’s slightly longer
and the doctoral version is longer still and is decorated with broad color panels.
Candidates for advanced or professional degrees wear hoods symbolic of the degree. The color of the
trim of the hood and the sleeve chevrons and panels of the academic gown are distinctive of the degree as
follows:
Degree:
Gown:
Hood:
Black Velvet Panels
Blue Velvet Collar and
Sleeve Chevrons
Doctor of Education
Light Blue Velvet
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
Kelly Green Velvet
Light Blue Collar Panels and Sleeve Chevrons
Kelly Green Velvet Collar
Panels and Sleeve Chevrons
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
Steel Gray Panels
Steel Gray Collar and
Sleeve Chevrons
Master of Arts
White Collar
Master of Science
Golden Yellow Collar
The colors of Oklahoma State University are embodied in the lining of the hood (orange and black
chevron). The colors of the hoods of faculty and guests are those of the institution conferring the
degree.
In addition to the academic regalia described above, some students wear cords, sashes, ribbons, and
other symbols of heritage or achievement in academics, service, and leadership.
Portions of the proceeding were adapted from the commencement program of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
