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

V. ean Honn -f-J. rulton Due to his own personal activity and in- terest, Director Fulton of the Mackay School of Mines has brought consider- able recognition to Nevada. His de- partment has achieved an enviable reputation of unexcelled instruction. Mr. Fulton ' s background is very color- ful. In 1900 his interest in gold min- ing took him to South Africa, after his graduation from Columbia, and thence to Nevada in 1 924. He professes great faith in this state which he reputes to be the most intensely mineralized por- tion of the earth. The School of Mines in the past years has placed an unusu- ally high per cent of its graduating students in the mining field and can reasonably be proud of its achievement. T. 4J. - Dean Sibley views with satisfaction the large number of placements of graduating seniors as an indication of the progress of his department. With the purchase of more laboratory ec]uip- ment in the last year the Nevada en- gineering courses can offer students complete courses unhindered by de- ficiencies in materials and can conse- quently produce students who rank with those from other colleges and universities the size of Nevada. The Dean has contributed to modern scien- tific literature several text books on machine design and mechanical draw- ing. Engineering students in all fields have found him mvaluable in directing their courses and enabling them to secure positions after graduations. 30
