President Stubbs Monthly Report
To the Honorable Board of Regents,
Nevada State University
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to submit herewith my monthly report of
the affairs of the University.
The general condition of all Departments of the University
including conduct and discipline has been quite satisfactory.
The enrollment of students up to this date aggregates Two
Hundred and Sixty-Five.
The time of the President for the last six weeks has been
largely taken up with matters of legislation. After consultation
with President Fish of the Board of Regents, it was deemed best
for the President of the University to transfer his classes and
employ an additional instructor for a short time.
I am gratified to report that the Legislature has passed
without a dissenting vote the bill appropriating $38,000 to build
a Hall for boys, a cottage for girls, and to purchase additional
land.
I submit herewith a memorandum of a proposition from J. N.
Evans for the sale of certain land. I wish also to submit a
verbal report on this same subject. Attached herewith are
drawings of the tracts of land as surveyed by Professor Thurtell.
I submit herewith several items with reference to some
proposed and some desirable legislation.
The Senate Committee on Ways and Means has agreed to report
the Contingent Fund appropriation of $30,000 and the Library Fund
of $1,000 as recommended by the Board of Regents.
The bill modifying the law relating to the Mining Laboratory
according to the views of the Regents is now in the hands of the
Senate Committee and will doubtless pass in regular order of
business. The two very important bills, one relating to the
building appropriation and the other relating to the Mining
Laboratory were drawn by Judge Deal of the Board of Regents.
The Secretary's report to the Board shows the following
condition of the several funds:
A & G College Fund $4727.95
A & M College Fund (Library) 12.47
Experiment Station 2366.32
Experiment Station (Farm Sales) 27.24
Experiment Station (Repair Fund) 511.25
State Contingent Fund 0.00
Bills presented today:
From A & M College Fund $1517.55
From Exp Station Fund 852.00
From Exp Station Fund (R.F.) 55.53
From Exp Station Fund (F.S.) 4.60
From State Contingent Fund 1487.90
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph Edward Stubbs, President
