New alma mater hymn written

Robert L. “Bob” McCulloh (pictured) was chosen the winner in a 1957 contest to compose a new alma mater hymn. The hymn, sung to this day, is short and easy to remember: “Proud and immortal, bright shines your name. Oklahoma State, we herald your fame. Ever you'll find us loyal and true to our alma mater, O-S-U.” McCulloh, who graduated from OAMC in 1949, later became director of public information for OSU.
