"The Scholars Walk will add enormously to the beauty of the South Oval. Symbols are important, and one of the walk's most important aspects will be to emphasize that the academic mission of the University comes first."
-Former OU President David L. Boren
Constructed in the summer of 2014, the OU Scholars Walk was created to honor the names of all OU undergraduate and graduate students who have been honored with the most prestigious national and international academic scholarships at the University of Oklahoma since its founding in 1890.
The Scholars Walk is also a gift in memory of Edith Kinney Gaylord, who in her own life was committed to the highest standards of excellence.
