On March 15th, 1926, students at OCU initiated their own version of a GoFundMe campaign to support the OCU Advancement Campaign, raising approximately $70,000. At the time, OCU was still a young school with fewer than 400 students, but it had a promising future. Despite its small size, the students’ initiative and generosity demonstrated a strong commitment to the school’s growth and success. As a gesture of gratitude, the school administration awarded all students a one-day holiday.
On March 4, 1929, a report was released that caused quite a stir among the students. According to the report, the most popular girls with the boys were those who did not smoke.

It’s safe to say that those who kept their lungs smoke-free were also keeping their love lives ablaze!
On March 7, 1930, the OCU registrar decided it was time to crack down on the grades of fraternity and sorority pledges.

To ensure that everyone was keeping up with their coursework, the registrar launched an investigation to identify the academic underachievers. It’s safe to say that some students were probably feeling a little nervous as they awaited their fate, wondering whether their frat party antics had been worth it after all.
