FACULTY ADMINISTRATION Maxwell Adams (Acting President); Regents Silas E. Ross (Chairman), George S. Brown, George Wingfield 1 Jae looaro. oi Jtv e genes h I he constitution o£ the State of Nevada provides that the affairs of the University be under the supervision of a Board of Regents. Tenure of office for members is ten years. Required by law to convene at least four times annually, the Board on these occasions passes on graduations, faculty appointment and withdrawals, financial affairs, and student matters. Results of these meetings are submitted to the State Legislature and Governor in the form of biannual reports. Present members of the Board are George S. Brown, George Wingfield, A. C. Olmsted, Frank Williams, Silas E. Ross, Chairman. Weightiest problem confronting them this year was the discrediting of two engineering schools by the Engineering Council of Professional Development. Coming as a surprise to the University, the committee ' s decision was the cause of excited discussion among engineering undergraduates, who discovered Jater that their careers were quite safe. University officials consider the matter as an unfortunate situation rising from recent financial reverses and plan to correct the condition as soon as possible. A move on the part of students to build a much-needed Student Union Building was approved by the Board but later was killed by the students themselves because of the attendant twenty- five per cent raise in student body fees and the obscure nature of building- details. Facing the Regents at present is the acute situation caused by the restriction of gymnasium capacity to eight hundred people.

Jr resiJeintt Walter Jc o L lark his year President Walter E. Clark will see the completion of his twenty-first year of service as head of the University of Nevada. During this period he has seen college enrollment tripled, its plant enlarged from a few straggling buildings to a well-planned and beautiful campus. Graduating from Ohio Wesleyan and Columbia Universities, Dr. Clark con- tinued his studies at the College of the City of New York. There he was noted for his lectures on economics and education. A signal honor was given the President during his leave of absence in the Spring when the French Consul General in San Francisco conferred on him the rank of Knight of the Legion of Honor of the Republic of France. On the date of the 1937-38 Homecoming celebration a portrait by Hans Meyer-Kassel of Dr. Clark was presented to the school. In addition, during the Spring on Gift Day, portraits of several past presidents of the University were dedicated as well as a bust of President Clark. Students at Nevada remember Dr. Clark for his work in building a progressive, respected college, and for his abilities as a speaker and leader. President Walter E. Clark L.w«.i2 ,
