n ntb n b After conscientiously serving the Uni- versity of Nevada for twenty-two years, aiding in its progress and achievement, President Walter E. Clark resigned his position last fall because of ill health. Selection of a permanent successor was deferred until summer by the Board of Regents; and Dr. Leon W. Hartman was appointed acting president. As a graduate of Cornell University and as head of the Department of Physics, Dr. Hartman is one of the best known edu- cators in this state, a suitable person to step into the vacant position and perform the required duties necessary for a suc- cessful year.

Clark appointed by Francis Smith, President of the Alumni Association, in- vestigated official affairs determining some re- quirements which will guide the Board of Re- gents in the choosing of an efficient future Presi- dent.

As Vice-President of the University of Nevada, Dr. Max- well Adams looks back on his years of service as progressive years for the school. The first professor of chemistry on his arrival at Nevada, he was soon promoted to the position of Dean of Arts and Science, and now fills the position of Vice-President. In addition to the duties of this office, he is interested in organic chemistry and conducts two such classes. States with pride that he has been on this campus for thirty-three years . . . Unfamiliar to a majority of the students at Nevada, yet indispensible to Dr. Hartman, is Miss Carolyn E. Beckwith, secretary to the President and Board of Regents. She has served under four different presidents here and has compiled three editions of the Alumni Directory which is published every five years. Miss Beckwith feels that the variety offered by her work makes serving the President and indirectly the students an enjoyable occupation. Carolyn Beckwith Dean Maxwell Adams n n n b n h
