The opinion

On April 29, 1947, this court affirmed the district court of Cleveland county, Oklahoma, denying a writ of mandamus sought by Ada Lois Sipuel, a negro, in a proceeding by which she sought to compel her enrollment and admission as a student in the law school of the University of Oklahoma.

The Supreme Court of the United States reversed the judgment of this court by its opinion which follows:
