Ma.x.u dL -fiddmi The vice-president of 3the Univer- sity of Nevada is a man of rare per- sonality, kindly disposition, and by nature a peacemaker, calm, and inter- ested in helping others. Since his coming to the University in 1906, he has held the position of Professor of Chemistry, but as he acquired more administrative duties and became in- terested in research work with the essential oils found in sagebrush, he has given up certain of his teaching- duties. In January, 1936, Dean Adams secured a leave of absence of six months during which he is devoting his time to travel and study. The lure of the Hawaiian Islands has beckoned and our Arts and Science Dean is now restoring his health. cotae S. Mtown In 1927 Mr. Brown became a mem- ber of the Board of Regents and in 1929 he began his duties as chairman. Previously he was admitted to the Ne- vada Bar Association in 1897, was graduated from Brown University, and completed a two-year graduate course at Columbia Law School. Five years after he began practicing law in this state he was judge of the Fourth Ne- vada Judicial District and served until 1911. At the present Mr. Brown devotes considerable time to his posi- tion here on the Nevada campus and by his interest in students and their welfare has recognized and solved their problems of vital concern. 27 5

d-x.ecutLi e j ■ , fc %r.- V ■ k We are all familiar with our very able and human Registrar, Miss Sissa. Among her numerous duties as regis- trar is the listing and classifying of student records, compiling registra- tion cards, sending out delinquent notices, reporting totals of registration, class standing and other data, working with the faculty for the removal of conditions, filing transfers, and in- forming seniors of their chances of graduation, hx registration time she works in conjunction with the Comp- troller. After thirty years at the job Miss Sissa reports that she has enjoyed her work through every year, and she particularly likes the students, each of whom she knows by his first name. r j «i (s, - i. (potman Since May 3, 1911, Comptroller Gor- man has consistently confirmed his belief that he couldn ' t be fired . The reason is not far to seek. He has han- dled the difficult duties of official ac- countant for the University, receiving all student fees, proceeds from sales of farm products or personal property, and gifts to Nevada with remarkable efficiency. He is custodian of all stu- dent body apportionments and all ex- penditures by requisition from the graduate manager and Finance Con- trol Committee. Going further than the excellent administration of his duties, Mr. Gorman has developed a system of accounting which he intro- duced in his office at Nevada, and which has been so advantageous that it has been adopted by several othe r colleges. 1 29 Ct
