ON THE COVER Pictured is Raley Chapel on the campus of Oklahoma Baptist University. Constructed in 1961, the chapel’s spire reaches 200 feet into the air, towering over Shawnee’s skyline. Easily visible from miles around, it is as emblematic for the university as its mascot, the OBU bison. In addition to housing classrooms and the massive Potter Auditorium, the chapel’s main thoroughfare features several panels of beautiful stained glass. Photo taken by Paul Roberts. 5
