SCHOOL OF EDUCATION VV A 7 HILE not in any way phenom- yWyN. enal, the growth of the School Y of Education during the eight years that have passed since its inception has been fteady and certain. About twenty-one percent of all indents regiftered in the University are education in- dents at the present time, an increase of fif- teen percent from the registration in the firSt year the courses were offered. Despite the increasing number of education graduates, the department is ftill able to place, with comparative ease, all worthy graduates in positions in the public schools throughout the itate. JOHN W. Hall The School of Education takes the place, in Nevada, of a State Normal School. It offers a two-year normal course, a one-year normal course, and a four-year sec- ondary course, besides several special courses designed for primary grade teachers. With the co-operation of the Reno Public Schools, practice teaching under the super- vision of the regular public school teachers is offered in all branches. First Row: BiUinghurst, Lewcrs.

[AGIIAY SCHOOL OF MINES I III IHE Mackay School o£ Mines during I the period elapsed since the laSt J|| Artemisia was published, has shown gratifying growth and development in all departments. The total yearly enrollment for the year 1927-1928 was 37, the same total for 1 928-1 929 is 48, an increase of almoft 30%- This growth is particularly gratifying be- cause out of a survey of 25 representative mining schools and colleges in the United States, only 14 show an increase in enroll- ment over the la college year and few of these show as large a percentage increase as does the Mackay School of Mines. That this growth will continue is Wrongly indicated by the number of inquiries received from different sedfions of the United States regarding the School from prospedlive indents. In 1925 we had requeils from seven prospedlive indents; in 1926 the same number; in 1927 four requefts; in 1928, 17, and for the firft three months of 1929, 23, and if one can judge from the tone of the inquiries the percentage of ftudents who will enter out of the 1929 lift will be larger than formerly. The moft important feature in the survey of the paft year is that dealing with the demand for graduates. All graduates have made excellent connexions at salaries ranging from $150.00 to $200.00 per month. John A. Fulton First Row: Carpenter, Couch. Second Row: W. S. Palmer, Smythe - ' 4{ 26 }2 »-

sz::aBiSi:aaas 8 as DEAN OF WOMEN Vr A 7 HEN we are older and the daring little things that we once thought VV vN, and did are mellowed with our age, we will look back upon our college Y Y lif ' 1 ii ' ' ' he memory of that period there will ftand out one individ- ual o£ whom we can reminisce in the sacred haunts of a mind devoid of its prejudices and passions. Miss Margaret E. Mack, Dean of Women, is that person and to her we muft eventually give our thanks, for who knows but what it was her influence that kept us from taking the wrong trail once or twice during our four years at university. Miss Mack has as her particular charge the care of the women ' s dormitories. Per- haps the rules are ftricft and no doubt many men would rather have open house at Manzanita Hall, but somewhere down deep in our consciences we muft admit that she is right. Aside from her duties as Dean of Women, Miss Mack has charge of the dining hall and here surely she brings grief in additional quantities down upon her head, for what one individual could ever satisfy the taftes of such a varied group as that which attends the Gow House . The Dean of Women also is chairman of the Student Affairs Committee, and in this capacity she muft regulate many things that have direftly to do with the most personal things of indent life. So is it any wonder that ftudents do not agree with Miss Mack? But age will increase our respeft for the Dean of Women. Margaret E. Mack Dean of Won ' 4 28 }P ' - m
