An Investigation

10 Years Ago

Shades of the past-and of the present.March 1941 issue of Sooner Magazine

reported a group of University facultymembers who had taken an interest in ac-tivities to protect civil rights were sub-poenaed to appear before a Senate commit-tee investigating subversive movements inthe state. Much of the steam was taken outof the investigation when University ad-ministrators revealed that members of theFBI had been on the campus since May ofthe previous year looking into reports ofalleged communistic activity, althoughtheir reports had revealed nothing.

Enrolment was dropping at the Univer-sity at an alarming rate-a parallel to thesituation existing on the campus today .Some 25 applications a day for transcriptsof grades for students and alumni inter-ested in entering the various branches ofmilitary service were recorded . The office ofAdmissions and Records estimated thatapproximately 300 students left the campusduring the first semester of the 1940-41school year to enlist .

In covering the campus-Old Copen-hagen, veteran jumper in the R.O.T.C .stable s at the University, and well knownto many alumni and former students,reached the end of the road in May 1941 .He became so feeble that it was decided hewould have to be shot . However, "Cope"died quietly before the coup de grace couldbe administered . A grave was dug near thepolo field and "Cope" was buried with mil-itary honors befitting his 25-year record .

Student grade reports for the first semes-ter include a total of 2,118 F's and the reg-istry office reported that professors attri-buted most of the failing grades to "lack ofstudy and application."
