History & Fun Facts

  • Oklahoma's admission into the union in 1907 led to the renaming of the Norman Territorial University as the University of Oklahoma.
  • The university's first president ordered the planting of trees before the construction of the first campus building because he "could not visualize a treeless university seat.
  • The university's first president, David Ross Boyd, arrived in Norman in August 1892, and the first students enrolled that year.
  • The university established a School of Pharmacy in 1893 because of the territory's high demand for pharmacists.
