CO oft spoken, keenly perceptive, a gracious speaker and by na- ture a great arbitrator, Nevada has in Maxwell Adams a decided asset.

Ty or the past eighteen years, Dean Frederick H. Sibley has been head of the school of Mechanical En- gineering and Dean of the College of Engineering. He has contributed sev- eral textbooks on machine design and mechanical drawing to the field of modern scientific literature. Although somewhat hindered by the lack of equipment and teaching facilities, his college of Engineering has a formida- ble placement record. He has seen several of his schools progress and grow until they are ranked among the best schools of the nation. His experi- ence in such engineering schools as the Universities of Alabama and Kansas has given him the ability to understand the problems and needs of the students of his college. His quiet way and effi- cient management make students and faculty respect him. Dean Frederic H. Sibley Dean Maxwell Adams resh from the Vice-presidency at Chico Normal School, Dean Maxwell Adams, a graduate of Stan- ford, came to Nevada in 1906 as a professor of Chemistry. Appointed Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1918, the additional honor of Vice-president came in 1922. In- tensely interested in organic chemistry, he continues active teaching in this field. Specialty with him is research in the by-product possibilities of sage- brush oil.

With such a man holding two of the key positions in the University, Nevada has little cause to worry.
