University of nepada •I J RE AT oaks from little acorns grow, aptly illus- trates the growth and ' progress of our State University. Not many years past it was a dis- trict school in the eastern part of the State, but has gradually advanced until, at the present time, it is one of the most prominent institu- tions of learning on the coast. Thirty-three years ago the preliminary plans for a University were made and in November, 1865, the first Board of Regents met. This board consisted of Hon. H. G. Blasdell, then governor of Nevada, C. N. Noteware, and Rev. A. F. White. They appointed a commit- tee to select a location for the University, but this committee evidently did not meet, for no record of the proceedings has been found. Nothing more was done until I874, when the Board of Regents, consisting of P. H. Clayton, J. Schoolnig and S. H. Day, met at Wal- ley ' s Springs, and transferred twenty-one acres of land near Elko, from the Central Pacific Railroad Company to the State of Nevada. On this land a building for university purposes was provided, and in July, D. R. Sessions was elected Principal. In 1875, a dormitory was built and the tract of land fenced. In 1879, W. C. Dovey was elected Principal of the Preparatory De- partment, and in 1882 T. N. Stone was made j President, and J. E. Gignoux was placed at the 1 head of the Mining Department. While the University was situated at Elko, it ranked as a district school and was of no benefit to the | State. When the question of removal was dis- cussed, Reno put in the largest bid and agreed j to pay Elko $20,000 and to furnish $5,000 with which to erect buildings. The proposition first university building at ei,ko was accepted and the present site was purchased from J. N. Evans. Early in 1886, the main building was erected and G. H. Willis, of Virginia, and J. W. McCammon were placed in charge of the University. 19
