GOVERNOR VAIL PITTMAN 6fo vel: not 4 Nevadans, traditionally proud of their State, its people and their philosophy of living, have consist- ently paid keen attention to their government and its institutions, which are the tools that fashion the Nevada way of life . . . High on the list of State institutions is the Uni- versity of Nevada, and our citizens and their government have long recognized its tremendous value, past, present, and potential, to our economy. Accordingly, the steady growth and improvement of the University will be a continuing program ... I feel that the excel- lent calibre of the young men and women who attend our uni- versity - both from. within and from without our borders - is a splendid testimonial to the institution of higher learning that the State has built. University of Nevada graduates currently hold high positions in all walks of Nevada life. In addition their con- tributions to other states of our nation and other countries of the world have brough recognition to their beloved State and Alma Mater. I firmly believe that the members of this year ' s graduat- ing class, as well as classes yet to be graduated, will do egually well in their fields ... It is customary, in a message for a volume of this type, to address words of encouragement to the members of the graduating class who are about to make their entry into the business and professional world. To them I can only remark that the problems of the world are, as always, complicated, but I can- not be pessimistic about our destiny. I believe any words of ad- vice of mine would best be summed up as follows: Do the very best you can and keep Nevada in your hearts. ... To the gradu- ates, undergraduates, regents, faculty and administrative per- sonnel, as well as to the staff of the 1950 Artemisia — my warmest best wishes. VAIL PITTMAN, Governor. i::
