Maharaja Plans Visit To Campus

DESCRIPTION
Newspaper clipping dated October 29, 1955, entitled "Maharaja Plans Visit To Campus". It details a planned visit by the "Maharaja of Florpur" to the University of Oklahoma's campus to "meet OU coeds". OU International Club president Sharanjit Singh Dhillonn often jokingly claimed to be a maharaja hailing from the nonexistent "Florpur" during his college years, dressing the part at costume parties and writing press releases announcing his travels; it appears this publication believed the joke was real.
