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. Pratt (1935) of Reno, Hon. George S. Brown (1937) of Reno, and Hon. George Wingfield (1939) of Reno. The officers of the Board are Hon. George S. Brown, Chairman; Mr. George H. Taylor, Secretary Emeritus; Miss Carolyn M. Beckwith, Secretary, and Mr. Charles H. Gorman, Comptroller. WINGFIELD TALBOT WIL LIAMS PRATT Page Tzucnty-nine

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

DEAN OF WOMEN H ISTORY shows that youth needs the judg- ment and guidance of experience in order to avoid mistakes and plan the best mode of procedure. To help meet this need for women stu- dents the office of Dean of Women or advisor for women developed. Most, if not all, institutions of higher learning have a Dean of Women or some advisor for women on its staff. A recent survey shows that there are eleven hundred such members on college faculties. The details of the work of Dean of Women vary to meet the particular needs of the institution and includes many phases of college life, but fundamentally the spirit of service should underly all the student activities of this faculty member. This service may include advice on housing, academic work, soci al activity, or vocations, but most important is the effort made to help in the great activity of sane, wholesome, useful living. Often a mistaken notion prevails that this is a disciplinary office and the main function is overlooked. The position of Dean of Women was created at the University of Nevada in 1915 when Miss Louise Fargo Brown accepted the appointment. Miss Brown resigned in 1917, and was succeeded by Margaret E. Mack. — Margaret E. Mack. MANZANITA HALL P,igr Thirty
