,,,'uoators:
We are glad to have an opportunity
- show nelghborly satisfaction ov
or the progress of the chief education
al institution Of our Sister State on
the east and show our readers it's
distinguished president and a general
view of the buildings in which his
well selected faculty and its large
numbers of pupils do their work to-
gether. The last annual register |
shows a total of Ala pupils. of which
221 are young men ard 1873 young |
women. This attention to higher edu-
cation IS very creditabie. and the |
number of pupils collected is graft |
.yingly large considering the popuia-
ton of Nevada. The State Univer
siry is the head OF the educational
ysten OF the State, and is, in fact,
the only istitution of college grade in
Nevada. 1t is el!gibly situated a. Re

tants, and has a campus OF nearly

tuition. They include very credi-ab'e
equipment for instruction, and yet
the University shares with other of
the newer institutions Of the farther
west the embarrassment of Inadequate
space for the fullest discharge Of its
work, says the Pacific Rural Press.
The president OF the University. DR..
J. E. Stubs, is e widely known edu-
Gator and was thoroughly fitted for
his work by his training at the Ohio
Wesleyan University and by his ex-
perierce il the several positions to
which he was called in eastern insti-
tu.ions before coming to this coast.
We are particularly drawn TO him
by his earnest work for the promotion
j, Of agricultural education and agricul-
i, tural science. He occupies a promi-
, nent position in the councils Of the
) association OF American Agricultu-
, raj Colleges and Experiment Stations
; ard held the presidency thereof dur
, ing 1889 and 1900 At the long-to-be-
| remembered meetings which this DO
dy held in San Francisco, and which
!. was attneded by leading educators
from all over the country, DR.. Stubs
5 contributed greatly to the success OF
2 the occasion and demonstrated to the
a acceptance of all that the inspiring
e activity and energy Of the Pacific
