The Artemisia 1921 -»— ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HAT is the University of Nevada Alumni Association doing in 1921 ? This question comes to the mind of every old grad who takes the last Artemisia in his hand and begins to turn the pages. For his thoughts are harking back to the good old days when he was one or the fellows going to school and things were done right. And he finds himself picturing the campus as it used to be and then of the changes which the years have wrought.

The second aim is to form a closer bond between the alumni and the students, particularly the seniors. And the third, by active support, both financial and moral, to further all undertakings of the University. In order to fulfill this last provision the organization took steps to organize a campaign for funds to be used as a sinking fund for the general association.
