THE MACKAY
DONATION FOR
UNIVERSITY

RENO, May 16.-Clarence II.
Mackay and his mother, Mrs. John
w. Maekay, yesterday announced,
through the medium OF President
Stubs, that they have donated
S150,OO0 to the University of Neva-
da, making their total benefactions
total OF 100000 to the school.
This announcement was made at
the commencement exercises and
was followed by a momentary hush.
and then there was burst of APP
plause that ratified the rafters of
the gymnasium. There were more
than thousand people assembled
at the graduation exercises when
Dr. Stubs read the following letter
from Mr.. Mackay:
253 Broadway, New York,
May II. 1912.
DR.. Joseph e. Stubbs,>
President University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada.
My Dear President Stubs:
The payment falling due next
month would make the fifth and
final amount due under my guaran-
tee of 1907 whereby the Mackay
School of Mines was to receive the
sum of $4,000 per annum for the
instruction of the students attend
ing the University of Nevada.
Ever since the completion of the
Mackay School of Mines | have
watched its development with the
keenest interest and no little pride
have, as you are aware, kept in
touch on the outcome, and | had
made up my mind that once a
standard had been set there must
be no backward step. The result
of my observation has been that
to use a plain Americanism
Mackay School of Mines, under wise
and able guidance of yourself and
it's instructors, has made good, and
it is with the deepest qualification
and pleasure that my mother and
wish to formally notify you that we
will each donate $50 shares, par
value $4,000. and yearly income
of $4,000 for the purpose Of endow-
ing the Mackay School of Mines. in
order that the future generations
may have the advantages of min.
ing education. which may help them
to go out and grapple successfully
with the world. II would seem par
ticularly appropriate that this gift
should be made in shares of com.
pany bearing our name. the origin
of which was made possible by tn,
soil OF Nevada.
Let me ask you to convey to tn,
students attending the Maekas
School OF Mines the following mes
sage, which hope will not only
serve as a motto for them. but fol
succeeding generations. and that Is
