UNION Wi The old library is the scene of many studious people. The knowledge that can be gained there is not always the primary attraction as this building is the scene of eager students looking for dates. However, this favorite building has fulfilled its purpose, and has aided many a student through his college career. 10

coiri Governor Grant Sawyer I voice the pride of all Nevadans in the splendid growth and progress of the University of Nevada. Having been a former student and former regent, I have for years taken a keen interest in our University. Our hopeful expectations of what would be accomplished under the leadership of Dr. Charles J. Armstrong have been more than fulfilled. Not only has the University gained in stature throughout the academic and scientific world during the past several years, but its worth has been recognized by the federal government as worthy of grants for specific purposes of national value. The physical plants in Reno and Las Vegas have been expanded and modernized. The many new buildings are a tribute to any campus. While great credit properly belongs to President Armstrong and the faculty, we should not overlook the wonderful contribution made by the regents. Their splendid interest and efforts, untiring and unselfish work, and fine support of the President ' s program have resulted in this greater and better institution of learning. The University of Nevada has significantly increased its value to the whole state while providing on its two campuses an outstanding academic atmosphere. It has truly given a great impetus to the scientific, cultural, and intellectual life of the state through its expanded programs. To the University students are being given the torch of freedom, a realization of the paramount value of democracy, freedom and an informed citizenry, and the opportunity to meet the challenge of today ' s world. I hove implicit faith that you students will face the future well pre- pared for whatever may lie ahead of us in this challenging world. To the members of this year ' s graduating class, my hearty congratu- lations on what you have accomplished, and my best wishes to all stu- dents for continued endeavor and success. Grant Sawyer, Governor 12
