OFFICIAL RING COLLECTION

THE OU RING TELLS A STORY, A STORY OF PEOPLE, PLACE AND POSSIBILITIES… OU RING STORY The OU ring is a reminder of the determined visionaries who have defned our history, as well as those who will propel us forward. The University of Oklahoma is devoted to the aspirations of the next generation and is comprised of students, faculty and staff who continue to invest in a better tomorrow. Those of you who wear this ring today have seen the possibilities and have dared to follow your dreams. You are the University.

Each of our ring’s attributes represent a piece of our character and spirit. Made of gold with the interlocking OU at its center, these features symbolize the quality of an OU education and the strength of our pride. The Cherokee Gothic style border honors our diverse community and reminds us that we are all valued members of the OU family.

Constructed as senior class gifts from previous generations and placed at every major entrance to campus, our iconic arches are featured on each side of the OU ring as gateways that welcome the innovative thinker.

The offcial ring of the University of Oklahoma depicts our commitment to sharing knowledge and discovering new ideas. At our University the possibilities are endless. Every student who earns the right to wear the OU ring has lived by example and persevered with courage. As our frst university president David Ross Boyd said, “What possibilities!”

THE STORIED SYMBOLISM BEHIND

OU UNIVERSITY LOGO The interlocking OU at the center of the ring is perhaps the most universal and most recognizable symbol of the University.

TRADITIONAL BORDER

All who wear the University of Oklahoma ring have a timeless reminder of their memories and achievements.

The traditional border of the University seal encircles the ring top reminding everyone that while we are a diverse campus community, we are all included and valued as members of the OU family.

1890 As a result of the frst territorial legislature, with the help of Governor George Washington Steele, the University of Oklahoma was established in the city of Norman on December 18, 1890.

THE SOWER The central fgure of the University seal, sowing not only the seeds of knowledge and opportunity but also the seeds of history and tradition.

ARCHES The arches on each side of the ring are the most common symbol of the Cherokee Gothic architectural style that is apparent throughout most campus structures. They provide both symbolic and actual welcome gateways at every major entrance to our campus.

TREES

Boyd not only busied himself with the building of an academic institution, but with his own money and his own hands began planting trees that became forebearers of the beautiful campus of today. jostens.com/college | 4
