BOARD OF REGENTS CHAIRMAN SILAS ROSS The University of Nevada ' s Board of Regents, with Silas E. Ross continuing as chairman of the Board, faced the many complex problems of a rapidly expanding University with a conscientious and sympathetic determination. Foremost among the problems was the matter of financing the University for the next two years. A tentative budget of approximately two and one quarter million dollars was deemed the minimum amount necessary to keep educational standards at their present level .

THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE DR. JOHN O. MOSELEY The school year 1948-49 will long be remembered by students, facul- ty, alumni and friends of the Uni- versity of Nevada as a year of victory on the athletic field. With results equally decisive, although less spectacular, progress has been made toward educational goals. In the classroom as on the football field the dynamics of war have been transferred to the dynamics of peace. Never have students been so sincere and so enthusi- astic in their striving toward the perfecting of their characters and personali- ties through the processes of education as they have in these post-war years. Despite the temporary confusion brought on by the arrival of veterans and unprecedented enrollments in class and laboratory, scholastic standards have been advanced, student activities have been stabilized and an encour- aging degree of purposeful living has been achieved by individuals and groups of faculty and student body ... In a spirit of sharing with others in the pride of these accomplishments, this pictoral record of the school year is pre- sented. Along with the joy of present achievement, let us in humility turn our faces toward the tasks of the future. Let all sons and daughters of the Univer- sity never forget that you are also members of ever-larger groups represent- ing the free peoples of state, nation and world . . . Our way of thinking and living must be proved to be the true path to security, brotherhood, peace and happiness. The cry of hungry hearts the world over is for leadership along that path. To match that challenge is the destiny of your alma mater this year and the next, and every year of its existence ... All of us, faculty, stu- dents and alumni, express to the editor, manager and contributors our sin- cere thanks for the 1949 Artemisia in its excellence so representative of the progress of the University which we love and serve. JOHN O. MOSELEY, President

ADMINISTRATORS COMPTROLLER, CHARLES H. GORMAN The past year has seen the administration concerned chiefly with the problems of finding adequate classroom and living space for an enrollment of over seventeen hundred students. A dining hall director was appointed in an attempt to give the students better meal service. A Science Building, housing the biological laboratories is in the last stages of planning. Tentative plans call for its erection at the lower end of the campus, near the temporary English buildings. Two buildings have been purchased from the Reno Army Air Base and are to be moved to the north end of the campus above the athletic field as men ' s dormitories. REGISTRAR, JEANETTE C. RHODES SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT, ALICE TERRY
