The University of Oklahoma was founded upon authority of an act of the first legislature of the Territory of Oklahoma seventeen years before statehood. Approved in 1890 and adopted in its main provisions by the first legislature of the state in 1907, the act stated the purpose of the University was to "provide the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the various branches of learning connected with scientific, industrial, and professional pursuits." The town of Norman was selected for the university. Students were accepted for the first time in the fall of 1892, and the first two graduates of the University received the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist in 1896.
