new caps have been placed upon the main pillars, the large and beautitLiI electric lamps, the gift of the Class of 1900, will be put in place upon the top of the pillars. The hopefulness of youth and the firm high purpose ot younger manhood represent figtirativeK ' the Nevada State Universitv of to-dav. Its face is turned toward the future. It has no wealthy patrons. Gifts ot monev and buildings do not gladden the hearts ot its regents and alumni from year to year. With its verv limited income from the State and the Federal Government, the Univer- sity seeks to maintain the standards ot the best colleges. It has constant regard to the conditions ot society in this vast Western State — conditions that are not wholly favor- able to the ideals of scholarship, technical skill and character. It offers an open wav to the sturdy, vigorous, undisciplined voung life ot our State to the wider fields ot knowledge, skill and culture. I believe that Our University will continue to grow into a more cultured Republic of Letters, into a higher School ot Technical Knowledge and Skill and into a State distinguished tor its keen sense of Civic Responsibility. As I close this sketch of things done and things hoped for, I am oppressed with a sense ot what is especially lacking in our student life here. In- dependent scholarly tastes and habits are among the foremost of our student deficiencies. The get-through-the-recitation and the oiih-pais- ing-grade spirit still are prevailing faults, and in ideas of conduct we still fall below the standard of genuine distinguishing college life. One ot the bravest men that fell at the Battle of Gettysburg was General Pettigrew, who wore the gray of the Confederate cause. Pettigrew was in college days a son of the Universitv of North Carolina. While still a student he wrote a treatise on the integral calculus. He was a college man of the type which this Commonwealth will expect her University to give back to her, honor and service. Pettigrew, it is said, had the wisdom of a philosopher, the courage of a soldier, and the modesty of a woman. 21
