tion was about $60,000.
It is planned by the Former stu
dents to operate the lands for the
present, using the income for the
establishment of the McFarlin
Loan Fund, which will assist stu
dents of the college in the future
by loans in much the same manner
as has been done in the past.
Improved Property
Comprising the gift, are two
farms, one of 5,000 acres one mile
from Rosser, Kaufman county on
the Trinity, and one of 2,000 acres
in Ellis and Navarro county, twelve
miles from Alma. Both farms are
highly improved, at a cost of
$1,000,000, the land being valued at
$500,000. Much of the land is al
ready tenanted, their being 2,500
acres in alfalfa at present.
Both Mr. and Mrs. McFarlin are
native Texans, though they have
lived in Oklahoma since 1892. Mr.
McFarlin was born July 27, 1866,
on a farm near Waxahachie, close
to one of the farms donated. Mrs.
McFarlin was born at Pilot Point.
Pioneer Farmer
Mr. McFarlin was one of the pio
neer farmers in the Oklahoma ter
ritory, farming there and in Texas
until in 1906, when he made his
Jrst venture into the oil business
by organizing the Glen Pool dis
trict. He was one of the organizers
and principal owners of the McMan
oil Company, formed in 1912
It rapidly became one of the
largest producers in the mid-con-
cinent field. It was sold in 1916 to
the Magnolia Company for $35,-
000,000.
He assisted in the organization
of the Exchange National Bank of
Tulsa, and the Exchange Trust
Company. At present he has also
extensive ranch holdings in Texas
and Oklahoma.
Many Donations
Previous philanthropies of Mr.
and Mrs. McFarlin include major
gifts totalling $1,700,000, these be
ing: a $600,000 McFarlin Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church at
Norman, dedicated in 1924, in mem
ory of their infant son; the McFar
lin Memorial Auditorium at South
ern Methodist University, costing
$600,000, and in memory of Mr.
McFarlin’s mother and father, dedi
cated in 1926; $150,000 Mary Cath
erine Hall at Westmoorland Col
lege, San Antonio, in memory of
Mrs. McFarlin’s mother, dedicated
in 1926; a $50,000 Mexican Boys’
Dormitory at Wesleyan Institute in
San Antonio, and the Tulsa Library
at Tulsa University, costing $300,-
000, dedicated in 1929.
