..y -(-i M 66a.a£ ntom (jutJ- tedident EVADA is a land of challenging beauty, snow-capped mountain ranges, flower sown valleys and foothills, pleasant rivers and brooks and grand lakes both in the valleys and in the mountains. Allur- ing sagebrush, fruitful pinons, gentle and friendly cottonwoods, tow- ering hemlocks and yellow pines are fellow mortals to Nevadans. The skylines are inspirational the sunlight is golden and the sunrises and sunsets paint glories on the foothills, the mountains and the sky that are unbelievable j the stars are so near that he who rides or runs cannot miss their constant messages of divinity and of a world meant to be peaceful and reverent. The University should rejoice. It serves all Nevada. Its stu- dents and alumni and staff members have played important roles in this drama of recent progress. Over a thousand four-year graduates of this University and nearly two thousand of its graduates and former students are permanent citizens of this commonwealth, helping con- tinuously and very considerably in the new developments of the State ' s business and cultural life. The University has a right to be proud of — - the splendid constructive records of these two regiments of ' j| former students. The University should rejoice, too, because this better future for the State will ultimately make it possible for the State to help the University to complete its plant and to better its standards of living and learning for both students and staff. During the immediately past decade and a half and especially during the past eight years, betterment of the University ' s plant and standards through State assis- tance has been quite impossible. The University has met its hardships standing and without complaint. It has kept its service up to worthy standards despite the unavoidable fade-out of State support. In the coming day of a stronger and greater Nevada the State surely will share its new-found abundance with the Univers- ity so that this campus can develop still more scientific and more spiritual students and give still wider service to all individuals and communities here domiciled.
