The report of the President follows:
November 1, 1907
To the Honorable
the Board of Regents
of the University of Nevada
Gentlemen:
The President of the University has not been able to go to New
York as requested by the Regents at their last meeting on account
of the delay in getting material for the Mackay building, the
Heating Plant, the annex to Manzanita Hall and the delay in get-
ting coal for the University.
I have the honor to say that it looks now as through we are
nearly through our troubles in this respect. Three carloads of
machinery for the Heating Plant are accounted for as follows:
one car is already in Reno; the second car will be in Reno either
today or tomorrow; and the third car is near Ogden. When these
three cars are delivered, the Nevada Hardware & Supply Company
will have all the material they need for the completion of the
Heating Plant. Mr. James tells me that they will have the Plant
done and the heat turned on by the end of November, he thinks.
In accordance with the instructions of the Board, the Secretary
of the Board of Regents sent a communication to Attorney General
Stoddard regarding the commission of the State Board of Examiners
to the Board of Regents allowing them to make a deficiency of
$7445, for the purpose of putting the heat in Stewart Hall and
the Hatch Station. This communication was also presented to the
Governor. The Attorney General said that they would make a min-
ute of it in accordance with the request of the Secretary of the
Board of Regents at the first meeting of the Board of Examiners.
In accordance with your instructions we are completing the Heat-
ing Plant for Stewart Hall at a cost of $3075. I have recently
made a new contract with the Nevada Hardware & Supply Company to
extend the Heating Plant to Hatch Station. This makes an addi-
tional cost of $2817, and a total of $5892. The Board will ob-
serve that this is $1553 less than the estimated cost of putting
the heat in these two buildings, which was made by Mr. Evans of
the Nevada Hardware & Supply Company.
The annex to Manzanita Hall will probably be completed by the
6th of November. There has been considerable delay in putting
up this building, owing, the contractor says, to a lack of
material. The contract for this particular house was $1340.
The contract for extending the heating system and putting in the
lavatory was $290, making a total of $1630. The wiring in the
house was done by our own students and cost very little. The
only expense remaining will be the furnishing of these rooms,
all of which I think will come nearly within the amount allowed
by the Board of Regents; namely, $1750.
I now expect to go to New York on Wednesday, November 6th, and I
will probably be absent until the middle of December. I think
that I will make up the payrolls before I leave, but will not
ask for a meeting of the Board of Regents until my return.
I went to Salt Lake on the 22nd of October to see about the two
carloads of coal which have been promised us since last July.
They agreed to forward the two carloads of coal immediately and
I take pleasure in saying that one carload was shipped on the
24th of October and the second carload on the 28th of October
and that both cars will probably be here by Monday of next week.
I will attend the meeting of the National Association of State
Universities in Washington, D. C., on the 18-20 of November.
On the 18th of October Professor Frandsen and I went to Pacific
Grove to look after a site for a deep sea laboratory for the
University of Nevada. The Departments of Biology and Botany
would profit very much by the establishment of a deep sea labor-
atory either on the Bay of Monterey or on the shore of the
Pacific Ocean. The University of California has just chosen a
site for a deep sea laboratory at Pacific Grove. Besides this
they have Dr. Loeb's laboratory also. Stanford University has
the Hopkins Laboratory. I think it is very important for the
interests of this University that we should establish a labor-
atory which is our own and which we can fit up as we have the
funds. The Professors and students of this University can do
a great deal during the Summertime at this laboratory. They
can combine work and pleasure in an eminent degree.
After looking over the ground very carefully, Mr. Frandsen,
Professor of Biology, selected a piece of land about three
hundred feet square just east of the light house at Pacific
Grove. I have the following letter from the Pacific Improve-
ment Company which assures us that the Pacific Improvement
Company will give to the University this location, waiting
only until we have definitely provided a building or buildings,
for this laboratory. We estimate that this building will cost
about Five Thousand dollars. I am now proposing, if the Regents
are willing to accept this gift of the Pacific Improvement Compa-
ny, to find some one who will associate his name and interests in
the work of the deep sea laboratory.
According to the instruction of the Board of Regents at their
last meeting, we have made contracts for building a cement walk
and a cement conduit, with requisite grading and filling, on
Virginia Street to a point opposite Lincoln Hall from Ninth
Street, including the necessary walks from Virginia Street to
Lincoln Hall and from Virginia Street to the Dining Hall. I
have had the grading done on Ninth Street from Virginia to the
College gates, and will lay the cement walk for that distance
on Ninth Street.
The City Council have agreed to provide for electric lights at
the entrance to the College gates. We are having two lamps cast
at the Nevada Engineering Words for the stone posts and are
drilling the posts for the necessary wires.
The following are the claims for this month:
From the State Fund:
Payroll for the Professors $ 2,345.34
Payroll for Students and Other Claims 2,206.75
Claims for Cement Walks 1,072.00
Claims for Heating Plants 14,184.18
Claims from Mining Equipment Fund 43.70
Analytical Supplies 68.90
From the Agricultural & Mechanical College Fund:
Payroll and Claims $ 4,322.27
I have a word to speak orally about the Heating Plant. Also
a word to Mr. Taylor respecting the exchange of books.
Respectfully submitted,
J. E. Stubbs
