Class is in session! So if you're a student, you should stop reading this and pay attention to the professor. But if your school days are behind you, maybe you learned enough to answer this trivia question. Well before Oklahoma was a state it was a university. This week, in 1892, the first classes at the University of Oklahoma were held on the 40 acres donated by the people of Norman for the campus. No word on what was buried beneath the future stadium to imbue the area with "Sooner Magic," but we do know who the school's first president was. Do you?

Who was the first president of the University of Oklahoma when classes began in 1892?
