ormer size and bore the names of the members of the editorial staff. The Record prospered very well the first year. A special twenty- page issue, describing the equipment and work of the University, with illustrations, appeared on March 15th, 1894. At the reopening of the University in September, 1894, after the summer vacation, the form of the Record was changed to virtually what it is now. Since that very few changes have taken place, except in editorial staff from year to year. Mr. Magill was succeeded by F. H. Saxton, ' 95, a man who, perhaps, has done more to create an nterest in literature in the ' Varsity than any other one man. The next year there were two editors-in-chief, O- T. Williams, ' 96, for the first Semester and J. M. L. Henry, ' 96, the second. In Mr. Williams ' term the Association had thriven so well as to donate two hundred dol- lars to the Gymnasium Fund. Mr. Henry was succeeded by George R. Bliss, ' 97, who in turn was followed by J. J. Sullivan, ' 98. H. H. Dexter, ' 99, is the present editor-in-chief. This year the Association has broadened its functions. In addi- tion to issuing The Student Record, it has undertaken the publica- tion of our first college annual, The Artemisia. By accomplishing this two fold task, it has become more than ever a benefit to the University. Representing as it does our best literary interests, it bids fair to reflect credit on the student body and our alma mater. K. 26

Tndependent H$$ociation N tlie early history of the University, when the thirdjstory of the Mining Building was used as a dormitory, it was also the birthplace of many plans, schemes and organizations of more or less importance. Perhaps the most permanent and beneficial of these organizations was the Independent Association. In September, 1893, the upper classmen, most of whom were accustomed to congregate in this popular dormitory, feeling the need of a college publication, began to discuss the matter. Soon afterwards the Adelphi, at that time the literary society of the University, took the matter up and appointed a commit- tee of three of its members to interview the University Regents and if possible to obtain their co-operation and support. At first the Regents acquiesced, but in the afternoon of the same day on which the commit- tee interviewed them, they reconsidered their action and forbade the issuing of a college paper. It was then that the Independent Association came to life. Had the Regents given their consent, there would never have been such an organization. The committee reported back to the Adelphi. The Adelphi promptly severed its connection with the undertaking and adjourned, some of the members to the Mining Building, where they agreed among themselves to publish a paper in spite of the Regents. Accordingly a body of twenty students, consisting of the male members of the Senior, Junior and Sopho- more classes, met in the basement of the Congregational Church and formed the Independent Association. The object of the Association was to publish a paper in- terested mostly in University matters and to be called The Student Record. After organizing, no time was lost. Mr. Charles Magill, ' 94, was elected President of the Association and soon afterwards was made Dx-ofiicio Editor in Chief. Mr. F. C. Frey was elected Business Manager. The Nevada State Journal was sworn into secrecy and awarded the contract to print the paper. The first number of The Student Record was dated October 19, 1893. It was made up of eight pages, six inches wide by nine in length. In the first two issues the names of the editors were with- held. On November 19, 1893, the Record appeared about twice its 25
