The new institution was opened in rented rooms as a 6 summer normal school une I5 l892 at Albuquerque beginning instruction in the Q J ' fall in the first building erected on the campus The Honorable E. S Stover I sf member of the first Board of Regents was made the nominal president and served c pal Herrick each of whom exerted every effort to aid the poorly supported new .I institution In l899 through the solicitations of President Herrick a gift of SIO 000 wa Q made to the institution by Mrs. W C Hadley for the purpose of erecting a science T 1- building this sum together with smaller donations made by citizens of the state enabled President Herrick to construct an excellent three-story building. It was under President Tight C1901-19091 that the State University was moulded into the form it now takes The campus was laid out with a thought of I' permanency a water supply was created and new buildings modeled upon the native Indian style of architecture were constructed. It was during these eight years that the two now-existing dormitories and Rodey Hall were constructed the Admin- istration Building was remodeled and a power house was erected President Tight was succeeded by E D McQueen Gray and he in turn was . succeeded by Dr David Ross Boyd in l9l2. Under Dr. Boyd the Campus was I extended to a tract of over three hundred acres the present Chemistry building was erected and the grounds of the University were levelled and planted with grass trees and shrubbery Upon the resignation of President Boyd in uly l9l9, the Regents appointed as his successor Dr. David Spence Hill, who came from the position of Professor of I Education at the University of Illinois. A complete reorganization of the University was at once made. A new Engineering building was completed in l920, and, under 1, 3 the leadership of President Hill, a fund of Sl6,000 was raised by popular subscrip- ' ' tion to pay the initial costs of a building unit for the Department of Home Economics. The building activities begun in l9l9 have continued, aided by gifts and by small I investments from the Lands' Income Fund of the University. An extension to the I Women's Residential Hall has been made, and the Korber Wireless Station, a V p large grand stand on the athletic field, and improvements in the lVlen's Residential i i Hall, have been completed. P '45 In l922 the State University was accredited by the Commission on Higher tl Education of the North Central Association as a college and university of standard Q I , grade, the only institution of higher learning in the state thus accredited. The 6, I faculty has been greatly strengthened by the addition of several experienced and Q , well-trained instructors, nine of whom are Doctors of Philosophy. The growth of l the institution in every way has been remarkable since the coming of President Hill. I Hll oi In I922 the total enrollment of students, including those of the Summer Session, was l f ' I 770g the finances of the University have been reorganized and placed on a sound, I debt-free basis, and athletic contests, both local and with teams from other colleges, I f have been fostered advantageously.
