Charles Martin attended Oklahoma A&M College (OAMC), now Oklahoma State University, 1941-1944 and was a pre-medicine student. He discusses being in ROTC, enlisting in World War II, and continuing his path toward becoming a medical doctor before serving in the Korean War. Martin recalls his childhood in the 1930s, college hangouts such as Swim's and the Y-Hut, and campus traditions. He also talks about A.O. Martin, his father and a 1919 graduate of OAMC, who was instrumental in the establishment of OAMC's first student association. Martin also shares some of his memories of President Henry Bennett.
