In MemoriamThe Arthur B. Adams Society was established in 2010 to form a valuable network of supporters that provides a meaningful difference in students’ experiences within the Michael F. Price College of Business.

It would be diffi cult to separate the history of the College of Business and that of Arthur Barto Adams, who fi gures so prominently in the college’s early-day development, and whose legacy at Price College continues through the prestigious Arthur B. Adams Society.

Professor Adams began his long and distinguished career at the University of Oklahoma in 1913, when he joined the faculty as an assistant professor in the newly created School of Commerce and Industry. A native of South Carolina, Adams earned his undergraduate degree from the University of South Carolina and his master’s and doctoral degrees from Columbia University.

Adams was promoted to associate professor at OU in 1916. With the country’s entry into World War I, he had the opportunity to serve the nation as an economist for the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. His service came on the heels of being promoted to full professor and director of the School of Public and Private Business at OU. In 1919, with a burgeoning student enrollment, the School of Business became an independent entity within the University, and the Bachelor of Science in Business degree was enacted.

In 1923, Professor Adams was named dean of the School of Business. Two years later, the School of Business was admitted as a member of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, the standardizing agency for collegiate schools of business in the United States. The school was elevated to the College of Business Administration in 1929. Adams served as dean until 1948, when he stepped down from his administrative post to return to teaching – a role he would continue until two years before his death in 1959.

During his tenure as dean, the College of Business Administration continued to grow in reputation, student enrollment and programs. By 1941, it was one of the 10 largest collegiate schools of business in the United States. Other highlights include the construction of a new Business Administration building, which was named in honor of Adams in 1952; the initiation of the MBA Program; and the establishment of the Bureau of Business Research, which published the Oklahoma Business Bulletin.
