Tho stat. unI,sr,,tr.

Allen @. Bragg has The following in
The White Pine News regarding Tho
State University. Ie attended tho
Commencement exercioes and writes OF
what he saw and heard. What he Gays
is OF interest ut this time:
Tho State University year which
closed last week has been an eminently
successful one. A class OF twenty-five
young men aud women was graduated
from the University proper, and almost
ms many more were given diplomas from
the Normal school. The closing events
OF the year we re marked by the usual
pleasant features OF commencement
Week and by the quite unusual, for the
Nevada institution Mt least,
meni OF numerous gifts and bequests.
The most important Of these is the
promise OF Il fifty Thousand dollar min
Ing building from Clarence Mackey and
his mother, to DO erected as a memorial
to John w. Mackey, who laid the found
alton Of his fortune by work with u pick
and shovel on the old Comstock lode at
Virginia City. Mackey was not the only
man who dug millions out Of NOWADAYS
treasure vaults to be spent elsewhere,
but he is the only nj thus fur whose
descendants have shown any disposition
to turn back any portion OF tue flood to
aid the desert State from which il came,
10 it no time for the Fairs, the Floode,
hes harons aud other heirs to Nevada'e
bounty to lend a helping hand to such
nm institution rs the University OF Me-
vada is proving for the u%pbuilding OF
the State in this hour Of her new birth?
Another gift that means much to the
University was TINT Of 81 900 to be used
for the benefit OF students in the School
OF Mines. This generous donation was
made by Mr.. +. NJ. Smith, popularity
known MS "Borax Smith," and will be
used in the creation OF scholarships TO
assist ambitions students for the coming
year. Mr.. Smith accompanied the gift
with the assurance @that :here WINS
plenty more where that came FROM"
The Nevada State University las done
splendid work i'll tho past decade, al
though greatly handicapped by proverty,
and, Il blush to own it, the half. Hearted
support OF some sections Of the State.
While few have actually worked against
it, many have damned it with faint
praise and failed not to peddle every
idle rumor that reached their ears in
regard to discipline or equipment.
Now, the truth OF the matter ia that
the Nevada State University is the
University OF tho whole State. 1t is as
good an.institution Of learning, as thor
oush md comprehensive in it's teach
Ings and Tar more careful in discipline
than many nm older and much richer
college. 1t merits the loyal support of
our people, and TO it we are in duty
bound to send our boys and girls for
higher education, il We love IL State.
Neither should we stop at that. We
shouid DO our Utmost to bring financial
aid to the University so that it may
grow with the State and be made still
more efficient.
Ii every true friend Of Nevada would
speak "a kind word for the lnstitut
instend OF hitting a knock its eIevating
influence would be f~ar-reaching and
would add to the respect OF the State.
