( e ent Members of the board of regents have had a busy year, not only planning for the present at our institution, but with an eye to the postwar activities which are to make Nevada tops in education. During the state legislature sessions many meetings were held in connection with the building program and administration activi- ties. Regents also found themselves busy with granting leaves of absence replacing resigna- tions among the faculty and staff members. On the board of regents are Silas E. Ross, chairman, Mrs. C. W. Henningsen, Chris H. Sheerin, Paul J. Sirkegian and Leo A. McNamee. SILAS ROSS, Chairman of the Board of Regents. Back row: Silas Ross, Dr. Moseley, Charles Gorman. Front row: Paul Sirkegian, Mrs. Clarence Henningsen, Leo McNamee.

Since the dawn of civilization, man has striven to restore the things of the spirit and by material means make them everlasting. Thus, he has recorded on stone and brass and with pen and brush his joys and sorrows and hopes and fears that all may share with him. ... In this spirit of sharing, we at Nevada express by picture and printed word the happy experiences of each fleeting college year and bind them together in an Artemisia of golden memories. By the students of 1944-45 these memories will be treas- ured as priceless reminders of the one period in their lives through which they will ever be willing to retrace their steps. Alumni will, in the pages of this volume, re-live their own college lives and vicariously participate in the triumphs and thrills of many another dear to them. All of us, in future years, will refer to this Artemisia to refresh our minds with the portentous events of a year of the University at war. . . . With the realization that the contents of this volume will continually strike the more tender strings of memory, I am happy to have the privilege of sending greetings to all stu- dents, past and present. May the future years bring to you the full realiza- tion of the aspirations of your college days and reward with an abundant harvest each sound thought and habit acquired at Nevada. All of us — faculty, students, and alumni — express to the editors, business managers and advisers, our sincere thanks for producing the beautiful and carefully prepared 1945 Artemisia, in its excellence so representative of the Univer- sity which we love and serve. . JOHN O. MOSELEY, President. ALICE TERRY, Secretary to the President.

e iMfaticH Students register in the new gym for the first time. Enrollment for the past two semesters showed an increase over that of the previous year with interest again turning to education and college life. During the fall semester, there were 492 students registered, with a ratio of 339 women to 153 men. Total enrollment decreased for the second semester of this year with 347 coeds and 129 men students, adding up to 476. Enrollment increased in all three colleges, although it was far below the normal average of peacetime. As usual, the greatest number of students was reg- istered in the freshman class. lEANETTE C.
