History
The Friends of Oakland University was created in 1963 by parents of students who wanted to make up for the lack of an alumni base at OU. Their first board of directors was elected on Parents Day and included Charles Stewart, James Morrison, Frank Hedge, Mrs. Grant Kurz, Dean Coffin, Mrs. James Cameron, and Walton Lewis. The Friends created the Matilda R. Wilson Scholarship for an incoming freshman.
