The findings of a just-completed nationwide survey of business meetings are so surprising that many companies will probably hold a meeting to discuss them.

According to the suryey, which was developed by Robert Half In- ternational, the worldb largest financial executive, accounting and date prooeanng recruiters, the average executive spends the equivalent of 21 work weeks in business meetings each year.

•What is disturbing," observed Robert Half, the organization^

"^president, "is that the survey, which was conducted for us by an independent research firm, re- vealed that six of those weeks of meetings are a waste of time"

The survey was based on in- terviews with vice presidents and personnel directors of one hun- dred of the nation^ 1,000 largest corporations.

The respondents were asked: Within im average work week.

how maaiy hoars do joa tUnk the «vwi«e encotive in your oompaoiy spends b btMhieas meetings?

Their estimate was 16.6 houra^ which translates into 8i25 hours during the course of a 60 week work year, or 21 forty^hour weeks annually. I^eir respcmse to the question: In yonr opinkm, what pefoent of these badness meet-, bigs are wastefol or nnneoes- MOT? was 29 percent, whkh equals 6 f uU 40-hour woric weeks

David Robert Sessions: first University of Nevada president B^ PhilUp I. Earl

Over the years, so many cituens have contributed to the welfare of the University of Nevada that a mere listing would constitute a weighty toma

We have to start somewhere, however, and we might aa well begin with the man who served as the first president of the school, David Robert Sessions.

Bom in Georgetown, S.C. on Feb. 24,1847, Sessions was one of 15 children bom to Thomas and Jane EUzabeth Davies Sessions.

Because there was no general system of public education in South Carolina at that time, he was sent to Charleston High School, a private institution, at the age of thirteen.

The coming of the Civil War in 1861 intemipted his education, but his father enrolled him at the State Military Academy at Columbia in 1864, After volunteering for Confederate Army service. Sessions and his fellow cadets were accepted for training as mihtiamen and assigned to James Island, near Charleston, in December 1864.

The youngsters were later posted to picket duty between Savannah and Charleston, and a few of them saw some limited combat as the war came to an end.

Following his discharge, young Sessions returned to Georgetown, only to fmd the community under carpetbagger control.

He then joined his father and other members of his family in ^e^lopiog" a farm in the nearby woodlands, but he had made some decisions about his own life by that time

Enrolling in a private school in Georgetown, he worked for the school as a janitor in exchange for instruction in Latin and Greek. He also received an appointment as town Clerk at that time.

Following a year and a half of study, he was accepted by Princeton University as member of the junior class in 1868 because of his demonstrated facility with languagea

Following his graduation in 1870, he was offered a teaching position in the public schools at Carson City. Within three years, he had for- saken the claasroom for a job as a reporter on the Canon Appeal. In December 1872 he became editor

Keeping his ej/e on the doings of the Legislature; he was present when the bill establishing the University of Nevada was passed m March 1873.

He had initially had some doubts about the wisdom of selecting Elko as the site for the school. Although he had once referred to Elko as *the weary wastes of the great and elusive east,* he put his own

name forward as preaident of the institution. His contact with legislators and members of the Board of Regents served him weU on this occasion and he received the appointment.

Sessions went to Elko in the summer o( 1873 to aee what he could do to get the school off the ground. "On arrival in Elko, I set about to gather students,' he later wrote

1 made no formal examination for admittance, but selected students with reference to what they might leam.' Seven students were chosen, two or three of these might have stood a fair examina- tion for high school,' he recalled.

Sessions treated each of the members of his flock as individuals, seeking to develop their natural aptitudes and abilities Through an informal tutorial system, he taught curriculum which would stagger present-day college professors: mathematics, geography, orthography, American history, French, German and Greek.

In December 1878, he resigned his position after being elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Declining to seek the office again in 1882, he and his family moved to Eureka wh«e he became the editor of the Eureka Sentinel.

He left Eureka for San Francisco in 1887, accepting a position with Hubert Howe Bancroft, at that time engaged in compiling and pubUshing the forty-volume History of the Pacific Coast States. Eight volumes of Chroniclers of the Builders of the Commonwealth were to follow.

Sessions' contribution to this massive historical undertaking endeared him to all his associates. *He is universally appreciated as a tme gentieman and scholar,' Bancroft wrote of him. In intellectuaU- ty, general learning, industry and integrity, I do not know where I could find his superior'

The faculty of Princeton University awarded Sessions an Honorary Doctor of Literature in 1890. By that time, he was beginning another career, the law.

After being admitted to the California Bar in 1897, he established a private practice for a time before accepting a position to handling the normal routine of railroad business, he drafted regulations to benefit widows and children of men who died in the service of the railroad. He also established a rehabilitation department to retrain injured railroaders for other work.

Sessions and his wife, the former Mary Eliza Noteware, moved in the highest social circles in San Francisco. The daughter of Chauncy

Noteware; former Nevada Secretary of State, she and SeMions hal married on July 1,1876, during his stint in Elka |

A forceful, intelligent woman, she was onoe deacribed as someoof "who would have a fur coat upon her back even if ahe didn't kadtf where the next meal was coming from.' A dau^ter Ruby diad in Hawaii and a son Harry became a Santa Monica businessman. A se- cond son Charles was an engineer.

David Robert Sessions died in San Frandsoo on Jan. 18,1924 at the age of 77, long forgotten by meet Nevadans who would have re- called his service to their state
