NAME

Bacone College was chartered as Indian University. As thename signifies, it was the intention of its founders to establish agreat university for the education of the Indian people. In 1910the name was changed to Bacone College in honor of the manwhose self-sacrificial life secured its permanence.

-HISTORY

Bacone College has the distinction of being the oldest institu­tion of higher learning established in the territory which is nowOklahoma. In 1878 Professor Almon C. Bacone came to the In­dian Territ,ory as a teacher in the Cherokee Male Seminary. Buthe had scarcely seen two years of service under government em­ployment when he was driven to resign his comfortable position be­cause of a conviction which possessed him to launch out on the un­tried sea of Christian Education among the Indians. Following thegleam of his heaven-sent vision, on September 1st, 1880, he openeda school for the education of Indian youth in the Baptist MissionHouse in Tahlequah, Indian Territory. The American Baptist HomeMission Society under whose commission he began the work, cameto his relief immediately, and from that time until now the in-

·stitution has functioned as an agency directed and supported bythe Society.

In 1881 with the able assistance of William McCombs and G.A. Alexander, members of the Creek (Muskogee) Nation, a char­ter was obtained for the school from the Council and permissionwas given to locate the school in the territory of the Creek (Mus­kogee) Nation. A Committee consisting of Professor Almon C. Ba­cone, Dr. J. S. Murrow, and Dr. Daniel Rogers was appointed byThe American Baptist Home Mission Society for the purpose of se­lecting a satisfactory location. The site upon which the car-barn ofthe Muskogee Traction Company now stands, received serious con­sideration, but the committee finally agreed upon the present sitesome three miles northeast of Muskogee, which was at that timeonly a small village.

The school opened with an enrollment of only three students.But from the beginning its growth was steady and permanent. Be­fore the close of the first session, fifty-seven students had enrolled.Following the removal to Muskogee the curriculum was expanded,the teaching staff strengthened, and the growth consequently morerapid. As the years have trooped through the hall of time, succeed­ing administrations have acquired additional property, increasedthe enrollment, erected new buildings, installed modern equip­ment, created an endowment and introduced up-to-date educativemethods. It is commonly conceded that these improvements havemade Bacone College the greatest strictly Christian Indian schoolin the world.

( 14)

LOCATION

The school occupies one of the most picturesque locations inEastern Oklahoma. The rolling hill which rises from the valley ofthe Arkansas river, lifts the school to an altitude of 650 feet. Thisheight not only affords natural drainage of the grounds, whichsafe-guards the health of the students, but the panaroma whichspreads out in every direction from the campus affords an impres­sive view of scenes of historic interest. Lying against the westernhorizon beyond an expanse of several miles is ~'gency Hill. It washere that the first Government offices were established in the In­dian Territory, and although far less conspicuous on account of thenumerous buildings of the Veterans' Hospital, the only institutionof its kind in Oklahoma, the weathered building still stands. Offto the northeast in the valley of the Arkansas and opposite thewatergap of the Grand river, may be seen Fort Gibson, the land­mark from which Washington Irving set out on his western journeyin 1832. The road which linked the Fort and the Agency crossedthe campus of Bacone and here and there embedded in the evenprofile of the landscape, still remain traces of tracks worn deep inthe turf by the wheels of covered wagons, the hoofs of Indianponies and the feet of marching soldiers.

The main line of the M. K. & T. Railway, a half mile away,was the first railroad to enter Indian Territory. Jefferson Highwaywhich forms the western boundary of the college grounds, extendsfrom the palms in Louisiana to the pines in Canada. At Mus­kogee this highway follows the same route as the Kings Trail, thehighway from Mexico to Canada, which was originated by Kingstonthe famous cattle king from Southern Texas, as he drove his herdsof cattle across the plains of Texas and Oklahoma to the stock mar­kets of Kansas City and St. Louis.

The location is strategic as well as picturesque. The city ofMuskogee three miles away has evolved from a western village toa thriving metropoljs with a population of third rank in the state.Since it has for years been the headquarters of the Five CivilizedTribes, making it the actual financial and business center, it is thelogical educational center for the Indian race. The Hyde Parkstreet car line which traverses the campus, connects Bacone Collegewith the city where four railroads and two National and three Statehighways intersect, making it easily accessible from any point inthe state.

It is familiar history that the Indians of the eastern half ofthe United States were pushed westward, sometimes because ofthe pressure of foreign settlements, sometimes at the point of thesoldier"s bayonet. Concentrated on cramped reservations in thehills of Oklahoma, they ~ere promised their new home as long as"grass grows and water flows." With the opening of Oklahoma towhite settlement, the only remnant of the Indian's claim upon thecontinent which his fathers once roamed at will, is in most in­stances a small and even unattractive allotment.

(15)

l

It is a fact no less remarkable than ironical that not infre­quently beneath these tracts have been discovere,d vahlable min­erals, such as zinc and oil, which have amounted to veritablestreams of liquid gold. In January 1927 Oklahoma as~~ded to ftT~

place in the volume of oil produced, and Indian land 'seems easi.,.favored in this production. By nature beneficient aq., 'ever-incre,"·ing number of Indian people are coming to realizelhat t~~y hOldtheir treasure as a trust and the responsibility of providing for theeducation and enlightenment of their race cannot be ej'aded.lt isa-e./reciprocal advantage that Bacone College, the est~tilishntentQ~which looked to this end, is located in the mid,st of pe~"'hopo~sess the means to guarantee its realization. ' - '

GROUNDS

The school grounds contain one hundred si~ty-six acres, 80acres of which are under cultivation. The campus is situated on thocrown of a rolling hill which slopes away toward the_ArkansqRiv~

to the north. Clusters of flowers, attractive shrubbery,and chlm·boring virginia creeper against an arboreal background in wlliebevergreens predominate, make the campus of Bacone College oneof the most beautiful spots in Eastern Oklahoma.

A small plot of ground beside the campus an<,t overlooking theArkansas valley below, is reserved for the college- cemetery. Twoof the distinguished dead who have blazed the trail of Christianeducation among the Indians and who helped to hallow the groundunder which they sleep, are Dr. Almon C. Bacone and Rev. AlbertJ. Shoemaker.

* * *Forty-seven years ago the Chero- Ikee National Female. setninary atTahlequah issued diplomas to a'number of young Indian girls. Asthey stood m line to receiveacknowledgment oftheil' scholastic~ndeavors, the ~orning sunlightJlickered through the windows 'ofthe chapel and fell upon their',bronze faces and their ebony hair., Yesterday that same sun fell on I

'the faces. of the four remaining,tnembers of the g~aduation class of1880 as they gathered in the hotneof one metnber, Mrs. F. M. Overlees,'n Bartlesville. These women' are, ow between 60 and 70 years oldnd have grown children andandchildren, but each year they

meet to renew their oaths of a,lle­'giance to their altna ma,ter and toenjoy their annual class party., The other three members are:

rs. Thomas McSpadden of Chelsea,a sister of Will Rogers, Mrs. R. L.

ite of Tahlequah and Mrs. JeanetteBillingsly of Vinita.~rs. Overlees' two nieces arranged10vely banquet in the Bartlesville

Country club with places laid for 40guests. This was followed by a re­ceptionin the Overless home, whichwas filled with baskets of chrysan­ther!ll.ums and roses sent by. friendsof the hostess in celebration of thereunion;, Mrs. C. L.

An interesting feature was that,wo dozen or more guest.s at the re­eption were Indian women, sym­

ion, commemorating the territorialays of the state.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF JUNIOR COLLEGEINTRODUCTION

The following extracts from the preamble and votes of Boardof Managers:

The original grant of land by the Creek Nation for Bacone Col­lege was made for the definite purpose of providing a location fora school which should furnish the Indians as neat;ly as possible thesame that a state university furnishes the white people;

It seems to be far better for the Indian youth to remain in con­tact with his people and under the guiding influence of Bacone Col­lege till he is more mature than when he graduates from the HighSchool to send him away immediately for four years in a college;

It would be much less expensive to give him two years of col­lege work at Bacone than to send him to another college;

Two years above high school are desirable for the training ofteachers and of Christian workers;

A large part of the present graduating class of about 20 de­sire a coll~ge course;

Oklahoma is the center of Indian population in the UnitedStates and Bacone the natural place for the highest Indian school.

No other denomination has a school which could easily be de­veloped into a college, or has any call for such a school or purposeof developing one.

Our Indian Baptist constituency desires a Baptist college andat Bacone.

Voted: That the Board of Managers hereby authorizes theopening of a junior College at Bacone, and the giving of the firstyear's work in the school year 1927-1928.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

The aim of the Depal/tment of History is to train the memory,the imagination, and to develop in the student, ideals of conducttoward his country and his fellow-man. Historical material linkedwith current events should enable the student of history to under­stand to a certain degree the settlements reached in many of ourgreat present day questions. The study of history plans to enlargethe vision of the student, makes him not only an intelligent andwell disposed citizen of his immediate community, but also a citi­zen of the world, and of the ages. The immediate effect of courseis to instill into the student's mind that he is living in the midst ofprogress, and that unestimatable opportunities await him in thefuture. History is the "lamp of experience" lighting up the pathsof our present day civilization.

Special reports and supplementary readings along with textmaterial comprise the subject matter for our history courses.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Introduction:

In the elementary school all courses from kindergartenthrough the eighth grade are given. As a rule the state adoptedcourse of study is followed, but with deviations where such seembetter to meet the needs of our particular group. Throughout theentire course, the aim is to fit the course of study to the needs ofthe child.

In the first three grades not only must the prescribed schoolwork be done, but countless problems of adjustment must be metand mastered. Every child who goes to school for the first timefinds a new and surprising world awaiting him; but who of us canappreciate the enormous problem of adjustment which confrontsthe Indian child who finds himself in a school where he does notunderstand the language that is spoken or the customs that arefollowed! It' is in the primary grades that the transition to themanners and customs of the white child is most easily effected, sothese grades are of vast importance. A working knowledge of Eng­lish, both written and spoken, must be gained here. Constructionwork and work with pencil and paper must be practiced until bothare practicable. And what is perhaps most important of all, heremust be "absorbed" that rich background of music and literaturewhich is the priceless heritage of every child, white or red.

Departmentalization:

Beginning with the fourth grade, the work is carried on de­partmentally with a teacher in charge of each department, so thatthe work may be correlated all the way through, and thus be donethe more efficiently.

Bible:

Bible study is given an important position throughout the en­tire course, it being required in every grade during the whole year.Beginning with the Fourth grade, the whole Bible is covered by thetime the eighth grade is completed. In the lower grades it is theaim of the department to make the child's retentive memory astorehouse in which to gather verses that shall later act as guideand mentor to his life. All through the course, by the aid of maps,pictures, models and stories, an endeavor is made to make theBible characters real personages and friends, and above all theBible Department aims to bring each student to realize that Christ,the Master Teacher, is the nearest and best friend and teacher of all.

English:

"One of the greatest things a being can do is to see some­thing clearly, and to tell clearly what he sees." (Ruskin) This isthe fundamental object of the English Department. Since Englishis not the native language of most of the pupils of Bacone, thework has its peculiar problems not found in the ordinary schools.

(44)

However, this fact but accentuates its importance since native lan­guages must inevitably be supplanted by English.

The two-fold objectives of the English Department may bemost easily comprehended by a survey of the oral· and writtenwork. In the oral work an effort is made to fix a habit of distinctenunciation and clear pronunciation; to increase the vocabulary,and to know the correct forms of the language. In the written, theaims are to be able to compose letters suitable for the occasion; towrite orderly compositions, endeavoring to develop the imaginationand beauty of expression; and to punctuate and paragraph cor­rectly, giving careful attention to correct form. In addition tothese, there is the further aim to create a desire for the best liter­ature, to see the beauty in word-pictures, and to form ideals whichwill help in right living and through discussion of current topics,to awaken an interest in the every-day events of the world.

Reading:

Closely allied with the English Department always, is theReading Department. Since reading is the key to all other sub­jects in a modern school curriculum, it is necessary to first deter­mine what reading abilities are needed and then plan for the de­velopment of each of these in the most effective way possible. Thepupils do not always get the meaning from the printed page, eventhough they may read fluently. So the emphasis is placed ·onthought-getting and thought-giving, rather than on the mechanicsof reading.

Geography and History:

It is the aim of the Geography and History Department notonly to impart knowledge of facts concerning the countries andperiods studied, but through pictures, geographical magazines, andinteresting reports, to arouse a sympathetic in~erest in the peoplesand customs of other countries, and to make history teach the greatlesson that causes unalterally bring results in the lives of nationsas in the lives of individuals. This practical application of the les­sons seeks to arouse a desire in the child to acquire further knowl­edge for himself, so that he will understand other peoples morefully, and become a better, more intelligent citizen himself.

Healthy Living:

While it is necessary to distribute the teaching of Healthy Liv­ing among the other departments, its exceeding importance is notminimized. From the first grade on through the eighth, whetherin one class or in another, always the value of good health is em­phasized, and each is taught to see that all other plans are material­ly helped in their fulfilment, if the body is in good health. Whilesome thought is given to the cure of bodily diseases, by far thegreater emphusis is placed upon how to keep the body well. Inthis, a .two-fold aim is accomplished: (I) the physical health issaved, and (2), the moral health is saved; for a sick body yields to

(45)

!,

II

temptations to which a well body never thinks of submitting. Asone has well said, "A sound mind in a sound body."

Arithmetic:

Last, but perhaps not least, the Arithmetic Department de­mands some attention. Considering it from the practical point ofview, it is certainly not least in importance, for no one can gothrough the ordinary routine of living, without having calls forknowing the fundamental processes with whole numbers, fractionsand decimals. As a whole, the books used deal with such prob­lems as the majority may have need for; raising gardens, poultryand stock for profit: how to buy foods, etc., in such quantities asto be economical; the common practices in the loaning and bor­rowing of money; writing checks, notes, etc, the value of the va­rious kinds of insurance, and the different types of investmentwith the advantages of each; the figuring of baseball averages aswell as the percentages of loss and gain, and the helpful knowledgeof keeping the cash and labor accounts. Since each child is largelyresponsible for handling his own money, the value of arithmeticis easily understood.

Vocational Department:

To make the school work as a whole even more practical, theseventh and eighth grad~ boys and girls will be given some foun­dation work in Manual Training. This course involves the studyof the tools needed and their care, the use and value of the va­rious types of wood, and the making of some simple articles.

The work in Domestic Science will consider the preparationof some of the more easily cooked foods, the planning of a simple,balanced meal, and in the sewing department, some study of va­rious fabrics and the making of plain garments.

Music:

With the Indian's native love of good music, the course in thestudy and appreciation of music will be largely welcomed by all,even as it has been this year by the lower grades. From this courseshould come a greater understanding and love of all good music­the great music which makes one desire to live up to his best andhighest ideals. Music appreciation is studied by all classes abovethe fourth grade.

Conclusion:

So through each grade and department the aim is to give thatknowledge and inspiration which shall send forth each boy andgirl equipped, physically, mentally and spiritually to face squarelythe world into which he must go, and be a help to that world, mak­ing it stronger, cleaner and more Christ-like because he has had achance to obtain his education in a Christian school.
