The undersigned. member OF tne
Board Of Regents Of the state onivetsisy
Of Nevada. having been unwilling 70 SUP.
scribe 70 the biennial report submitted TO
your Honorable bodies BY the majority OF
the Board OF Regents, under dase Oh ',no'
TO state his reasons for dissent from that
report. He. therefore. respectfully sub
mits minority report upon matters reiat-
ingsto the State University.
While cheerfully indorse the state
ments Of Regents Stone and Mayhugh with
regard TO the ability Of the Principal Of
the University, W. @. Dovey; the course
AZ studies A marked out; the progress Of
The studsnts attending the schools. and
other statements made In their report. I
Am compelled to dissent from some Of the
statements which the report contains.
With regard to the details OF manage
ment Of the University. may say that
having had but few opportunities 70 be-
coma acousipted with them, know but
iit,le sbout than, having attended only
thres mestiues Of the Board since 40.
ssntsa ,be once Of Regent about one year
sipce. A majority Of the Board. being
residents Of Eiko, have attended to the de.
tails Of management; full Information
with regard to which. also with regard to
the disbursement Of the Stats approprta.
ton, can be obtained from the financial
statement made near the close Of their re-
port.
I believe that 10 should be the true pol
Icy Of the Board Of Regents 10 present the
facts relating 70 the University - they
exist, to the Legislature. and let the Legis-
lature decide therefrom a. TO the proper
course to pursue In future with regard 70
the institution. Believing mus, ! am
compelled to say that my inior1auon snu

while 70 casual observer they appeared 70

large hole WAS dug. in which was placed

residue from the evaporation Oh sap, AND
that the trees were dying from their tops;
the pores Of the wood having become nlIed
with . salt lett BY the evaporation Oh sap
which eventually killed tho trees. Am
convinced that no trees will live any length
Of time in the soil Of the University
grounds. And I may here say that
