£f OLD MAIN A D A University Hall, better known as Old Main is the oldest building on the University campus. The date inscr ibed on its face is 1886. Built of native stone on old architectural lines, it has lately been remodeled, and the wing where the president ' s office and the chambers of the Board of Trustees are located is of modern decor. In this building have the major problems of the University been discussed and settled for over fifty years. Old Main gives promise of much service to come. President Morrill greets students and alumni at the first basketball game of the season. The hat is the one presented to him at the formal reception for the faculty. Looming out among the pines, with its spires silhouetted against the clouds, Old Main stands as a proud sentinel on the western end of the campus. ,: -i ..■■:::; . - , : ... ■ wH| mjm m M » af i» — rV . i Old Main houses also the secretary ' s office, the student welfare center, the University News service, the offices of the dean of men and women, the registrar, t h e telephone ex- change, and the office of grad- uate study. Meetings and re- hearsals are held in the second floor auditorium. PAGE EIGHT

sCttL to a pioneer, a friend, a teacher, a builder. To Dr. Aven Nelson, president emeritus of the University of Wyoming, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, botanist and author of note, past president of the American Botanical society, president of the University from 191 7 until 1922. The 1942 Wyo is apprecia- tively dedicated to a great man who has given over fifty years of faithful service to the University, who has watched his educational dream grow and prosper under the tutelage of far sighted men. May this yearbook be a worthy tribute.
