F. H SIBLEY Dean Sibley is x ' cry pnuid of the progress which has been maele by students en- rolled in the schools of engineering. Placement of graduates has far exceed- ed that which would normally be ex- pected when the size of the graduating classes is considered. Pursuing a well- constructed plan of buying, many essen- tial pieces of apparatus have been added to the laboratory equipment during the past decade, and at the present time the courses offered in engineering compare most favorabl) ' with those of colleges of like size in the United States. ROBERT STEWART When Mr. Stewart came to the Univers- ity of Nevada in 1920 as dean of the College of Agriculture, he brought with him a high reputation as a specialist in soil studies. During his administratimi he has made some noted experiments in developing soil fertilizers. From the date of the founding of the College of Agriculture until 1920, thirty-four men were graduated, forty-five per cent of whom afterwards made their livelihood in agricultural pursuits. Since 1920, seventy men have been graduated and ninety per cent are today engaged in agricultural work. 24
