Administrative History

The first speech instructor hired for that position was Howard G. Seldomridge, who began at Oklahoma A&M College in 1906. The Speech department went under the English department in 1912. Public Speaking became its own department in 1916. In 1953, Speech, along with English and Foreign Languages, was moved under the new Department of Language Arts. Speech moved to the new School of Communications in 1958.



Until 1971, the Speech department had always been in charge of theatrical productions and classes at Oklahoma A&M College/Oklahoma State University. However, these responsibilities moved to the new Department of Theatre in 1971.
