Serene in its quiet loveliness, the libe provides a spot I to loaf as well as 1 dy OTGWOT Forty-seven years ago-1899-the first Artemisia was published picturing the students of that time in their almighty glory. Since then, there has been a leap oi progress-a leap from the old world into the new world. lt is for the students of these times to keep the ideals of the new world in mind and to prepare them- selves for a similar leap. The following pages show the uni- versity contrast oi l899 and l946. Look now and plan to enjoy another laugh-on yourself in the next forty-seven years.

24 gqvfljg The hours and work put in on the first Artemisia back in 1899 aren't remembered today, but the time and efforts of the 1899 staff constitute the ,foundation of all Arternisias since then. Perhaps Pat McCarran and Della Boyd and Alfred Smith were the cornerstones of that foun- dation: and, as it is customary for a dedication to be prepared for cornerstones, we dedicate this Artemisia to the 1899 Artemisia staff. We also acknowledge the many students who have worked on the various Artemisias from 1899 to 1946. They the the bricks and building materials which have helped to make our Artemisia the solid structure it is today. The 1946 Artemisia is proud to take its place on the monument of Artemisias from 1899 to 1946. lt IS a great pleasure to receive the Arternisia of this day. lt is a finished work of art little visualized by the original staff that brought forth the first issue of 1899. Delle B. Boyd The University of Nevada, like the State itself, has come a long Way in the past 47 years. They have moved not merely as the world has moved, but at a faster pace. lust as I have every confidence that the State of Nevada will continue to grow-in popu- lation, in industry, and in national importance-l have equal confidence that the University of Nevada will continue to grow, not only in physical size, but also in prestige and influence, throughout the years to come. I am proud to be a Nevadan. I am proud to be a University of Nevada man. And as 1 look at the Artemisia of this present day, and compare it with the Artemisia of long ago, l am proud to have had some small part in launching an enterprise which has had such a splendid burgeoning. Pat McCarran lt was another world we lived in then, nearly half c century ago. I think only one member of the Uni versity teaching staff of that distant day remains, Dr I. E. Church, and all the students of those years hav grown oldg many of them have died. Three war have successively shaken our nation: each took a tol of University of Nevada men. Physically the Un' versity has grown and greatly changed, but l finc little change in the high patriotism and college spir' of present students. Brick and concrete walks an velvet lawns cover the campus area which was criss crossed by removable lattices of wooden duc ' boards to keep out the mud in my day, but the co lege cheers and sweet songs are unchanged: ther is the same wild delight over a well-earned footba victory and the same aura of happiness prevails the glamorous college dances as of old . . . lt is e . ioyable for us old 'uns to rummage in the past of th University. We become maudlin in the process, for is a great past. May the expanding future be as goo Alfred Merritt Smit
