ideal. 1t is away from the noise and
distractions of the city. Plenty of
pure air and a most beautiful and in
spring view. The plant o includes
an administration hall, which contains
the president S Office; the library of
about 5000 volumes, the assembly hall
and numerous large and well lighted
and furnished recitation rooms. The
Hadley science hall furnishes accom-.
modations for the department of sci
ence. The building is most admirably
adapted to the needs of the depart
ment, but it is very greatly IN need of
a proper equipment and it is to be
hoped that some friend of education
will assist the board in fully supplying
this need.
The gymnasium building is not large
but it is we'll equipped with modern ap-
paratus and serves the present needs.
One of the pressing needs of the uni
versity by way of buildings is a suita-
BILE dormltory. Students from the ter
ritory outside of Albuquerque, who de-
sire to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity offered here are now compelled
to suffer the inconvenience and ex-
pense of boarding in the city and par
ents are unwilling to send their boys
and girls here and leave them exposed
to the evils and the temptations of city
life. There has been a great demand
made this last year for a suitable dor
mitory and because of the lack of II
many students have been sent outside
of the territory to school, who should
be here in the university. Ii is to be
hoped that the next legislature will re-
spond to this need of the university
and provide for the speedy erection of
a suitable dormitory.
The present board of regents con-
sists of his excellency, Miguel A.
Otero, governor of the territory, ex-
officio; Hon. j.. Francisco Chaves, SUI
p~erintendent of public instruction, ex-
pficio; Hon. Juan G. Armijo, Hon.
Henry l.. Waldo and DR.. James H..
Wroth. Hon. Frank w. Clancy is
president of the board and DIR. James
II. Wroth is secretary and treasurer.
The steady progress of the univer.
sity during the present organization of
the board is al evidence of great in
terest taken in the university by its
members. The faculty of instruction
during the present school year in
cludes DR.. William G.. Tight, president
and professor of geology. DIR. Tight is
a native of Ohio. He received his ear
~ education in the public schools of
Granville, Ohio. and graduated from

degree from the same institution IN
1887. and was at once employed in the
faculty of his Alma Mater, where he

the board to take the presidency OF the
University OF New Mexico. His work
for the d~octorate degree was done
partly at Harvard and completed at
Chicago.
Miss Josephine S. Parsons, principal
of the commercial department and in
structor in mathematics. has been so
long and so ~favorably known in the
city that special comment upon her
peculiar fitness for the work which she
is engaged and her unusual success In
the discharge of ii, is unnecessary. she
is the senior member of the faculty
having been connected with the uni
versity since 1898.
