ee eer rene ety Tue 1935 Gem or THE Mounrains is dedicated to the Univer- sity of Idaho, After almost a half century of growth and development, the University stands for many things. To some it may stand for pleasant associations and lasting friendships. To others it may represent opportunity for stimulating expe- riences and acquiring a broader view of life. To still others it may represent an opportunity for personal advancement and greater individual success. May I express the hope that all of us, students, alumni, and faculty, will also think of the University in terms of a portion of the statement that is carved in stone at the entrance to the Administration Building to the effect that one of the objectives of the University is to train future citizens for public service. Year by year the University engages in more and more activi- ties directly connected with the welfare of the state. Many students participate in these activities. In numerous fields the University is a research laboratory for all the citizens of the state. It will fulfill its highest function as its graduates dedicate a larger and larger portion of their lives to the common good. M. G. NEALE, President.

Board of Regents Crency Sr. Crair Tue Boarp or Recents of the University of Idaho, made up of five citizens of the state and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, determines the policies of the University in the engagement of instructors and the pur- chase of new equipment and buildings; and is the final arbiter in educational matters throughout the state. During the past year the increased enrollment and the decreased income have made special problems that have required the members to give generously of their time and efforts; they have been con- cerned with the improvement and increase of the available housing for students, and with the addition of several instructors to the faculty staff. The present membership of the Board of Regents includes Clency St. Clair, president; Asher B. Wilson, vice- president; Jerome J. Day, Mrs. A. A. Steel, and John W. Condie, Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion. The resignation of John S. Jenny has left a vacancy as yet unfilled. With the lim- ited income available, the Board of Regents has improved housing conditions by building more accommodations at Lindley ‘Hall, and by organizing new cooperative group houses. Every member of the board is wholeheartedly supporting the University, and planning for its continued growth and development. Page 17 Administrative Officials M. Beste Sweer Eura L.

Lino ALrHouGH the economy and the efficiency of the University’s administration is, of course, in the hands of all its officials, several mem- bers of the Administrative Staff are directly concerned with the disbursement of funds, the purchase of new equipment and material, and the preservation of the property held by the University. These members of the staff include Frank Stanton, Bursar; Ella Letitia Olesen, Registrar; Mary Belle Sweet, Libra- rian; Oren A. Fitzgerald, University Editor; Raymond W. Lind, Superintendent ‘of Build- ings and Grounds; Floyd L. Packer, Account- ant and Purchasing Agent; George E. Horton, Graduate Manager; Robert F. Green, roe: tor of Men. This group of officials has the cooperation of alumni groups and townspeople, and car- ries on the business of the University in a manner as efficient as that encountered in any private competitive concern. Besides thus serving the University, the officials give very real assistance to a number of students each year by giving them positions as stenog- raphers and assistants in the various offices. Many Idaho graduates have found perma- nent positions in these offices where they worked as undergraduates, and others use experience gained here to secure positions.
