Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Artemisia, 1937, Vol. 34
Two true N evadans are in charge of the ad ministration of our school. Drkwalter E. Clark, president since 1917, is known for his books on economics and his work in that field; Dean Maxwell Adams has done research in many fields. President Clark came to us with an imposing record of degrees after having served as an instructor in outstanding universi ties and has more than justified the confidence placed in him. A gracious speaker at campus functions. Nevada received a decided asset in the person of Adams in 1906, coming here from Chico N ormal School, of which he was Vice - president. His main possession was a roan horse, and his secret ambition to be a cowboy. But instead he did research in the possibilities of by-products from sagebrush oil for medicinal purposes, and other. He and his wife famous for her sense of humor, now spend spare timegat Chico on a ranch. To this would - be cowboy, withhis well - known phrase, I rather suspect, we owe the enlargement and organization of our chemistry department. Indeed, N evada need never fear for its organi zation while two such capable Nevadans are at the important posts.
