"The Lone Cadet" is a KellStone sculpture by Yon Sim Park (1928- ) an artist-in-residence when this University was known as Oklahoma Military Academy. This cadet is dressed in the uniform of an OMA cadet. The statue is located in a grassy area next to Camden Street, the main entrance into the University campus. The sculpture is listed in the Smithsonian art inventory database.

"A full-length male figure wearing the uniform of an Oklahoma Military Academy cadet. The World War II-era full dress uniform has flap pockets, a Sam Brown belt, a braid and medallion on the proper left breast pocket, scabbard on proper left hip, hat with the letters ROTC and cuffed trousers. The figure holds a saber in his proper right hand, tip end held up near his proper right shoulder. Tears of grief well in his proper right eye. The sculpture is placed atop a low circular base."
