1 in THE REGISTRAR r pHE first person with whom the student comes contact on registering at the University of Nevada is Miss Louise M. Sissa, who has served in the capacity of Registrar for many years. She has seen this institution develop from the mere nucleus of a university to a school which is on the approved list of the Association of American Uni- versities, the nearest approach to an official r ating body for such institutions. In December, 1920, appli- cation for such placement was formally accepted and at that time Nevada was the one hundred and thirty-fourth name on the list. Only from the enrollment statistics can we get an adequate idea of its rapid growth: 1905 248 1915 448 1925 913 1910 212 1920 726 1929 103 7 All of the student fees are received by the Treasurer and Comptroller, who is also the custodian of all the student body funds, which are in separate accounts. The Treasurer is also authorized to receive an) ' moneys from gifts to the University, and funds from fees are all entrusted to his keeping. MORRILL HALL Page Twenty-eight

GREETINGS TO OUR UNIVERSITY S CHIEF EXECUTIVE of the State of Nevada, I send my greetings to our University. By University I mean everyone connected with the institution in any capacity. The authorities are to be highly commended for the choosing; of men and women of such high character to instruct the coming generation. And these instructors are also to be highly commended for the excellent courses of study they are developing and requiring the students to master. We are turning well-equipped young men and women out into the world and are equipping them more and more for this age of hurry and confusion. I have had occasion to watch the progress of a great many of our graduates and have found that in every instance they have gone forward with mastering strides and with absolute confidence in themselves. I am more than thankful for the great and valuable gifts which we have received in recent years. These enable us to render a service that otherwise we could not render so thoroughly and well. I want to congratulate the student body for its willijigness to conform so cheerfully to the regulations which are so important to a well organized institution as ours is. I am a believer in student control of student activities, but I also believe that an advisory board such as we have is indispensable to the well being of the whole. There must be some play along with your arduous mental activities; so do it that your bodies may improve in proportion to the development of your minds. My only wish is that every student may become physically and mentally fit while- attending our House of Learning. Ma} ' all, and each of you, continue to enjoy the happy reflections consequent upon a well spent life, and may our University continue to prosper in the future as it has in the past. Fred B. Balzar, Governor. Page Tcicnly-sevcn

BOARD OF REGENTS MEMBERS of the Board of Regents, which legally governs the University, are elected by the people every two years, each for a ten-year term. In 1927 Mr. George Wingfield, Nevada banker and capitalist, was appointed by Governor Fred B. Balzar to replace Mrs. Sophie Williams, who died in July of that year. This term expired in 1929, at which time Mr. Wingfield was elected to continue for a regular ten-year term. In 1931 elections will again occur, at which time Mr. George F. Xalbot may be replaced. The present Board of Regents, with the expiration date of their terms, is com- posed of Hon. George F. Talbot (1931 ) of Reno, Hon. Frank Williams (1933) of Goodsprings, Hon. Walter E.
