Transcript: Tuition Oklahoma State University On December 25, 1890, the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature finally gained approval for Oklahoma Territorial Agricultural and Mechanical (A&M) College. The first students assembled for class on December 14, 1891.Classes were held for two and one-half years in local churches until the first academic building, later known as Old Central, was dedicated on June 15, 1894, on the southeast corner of campus, which at the time was flat plowed prairie. Admissions Old Central at Oklahoma A&M, 1894 On May 15, 1957, Oklahoma A&M changed its name for the final time to Oklahoma State University to reflect the broadening scope of curriculum offered. In 2005, OSU announced its "Campus Master Plan", a campaign to enhance academic, athletic, and administrative facilities. Over $800 million is ear-marked for campus construction and renovation over twenty years. The Plan calls for an "athletic village" where all of the university's athletic facilities will be located on the main campus. Oklahoma State has hosted a number of high-profile speakers throughout the years, including several sitting presidents. Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush all gave commencement addresses while they were in office. When Oklahoma A&M first started the sports teams had been referred to as the Agriculturists or Aggies, the Farmers, and officially but unpopularly, the Tigers. Around 1923, when Oklahoma A&M College was searching for a new mascot to replace their tiger, a group of students saw Frank Eaton leading Stillwater's Sheep Parade. He was approached to see if he would be interested in being the model for the new mascot, and he agreed. However, it was not until 1958 that "Pistol Pete" was adopted as the school's mascot.
