Report of the President for the Board of Regents

1881-82 University of California Sacramento State Office : : : J. D. Young, Supt. State Printing 1882

Report

To the Honorable Board of Regents of the University of California:

I have the honor of herewith submitting to you my first annual report as President of the University for the academic year, August 1, 1881, to August 1, 1882.

A sufficiently minute abstract of your proceedings for the year, including resignations and appointments in the several Faculties of the University, has been prepared by your Secretary and already submitted to you. Such details are not here repeated.

The courses of study in the several departments of the University, the number of professors and students, and other details regarding the internal administration of the University, will be found in the University Register for 1881-82, which is herewith submitted as a part of this report.

The reports of the Faculties of the Colleges of Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Dentistry follow this report, and merit your attention.

I desire, however, in addition to these general statements, to call your attention to certain important regulations adopted by the several Faculties during the year, and to the more pressing needs of the University.

Admission Examinations

Of the new regulations, perhaps the most important are those affecting the requirements for admission to the undergraduate department of the University. Written examinations have been substituted for oral; the time that may be given to an examination has been more narrowly limited; the scope of the examinations for admission to the Colleges of Science, and to the Literary Course, has been enlarged; examinations have been established at Los Angeles and Marysville, and the system of preliminary examinations has been introduced by which applicants have the privilege of taking a portion of the examination in June or August of one year, and the remainder in June or August of the year following.

These changes are of such importance as to deserve more than simple mention. The oral method of examination has its advantages, but experience seems to have demonstrated that a better average judgment of an applicant's qualifications may be reached through written than through oral tests. It is certainly true that in no other way can a uniform test be applied to a large body of applicants, and a uniform judgment reached. It is believed also that these written examinations will serve as a valuable means of communication between the University and preparatory schools. It is the purpose of the Faculty to issue and distribute to teachers throughout the


4
State a yearly bulletin, containing, in addition to the usual information regarding the requirements for admission, the questions used at the examinations next preceding its issue. In no other way certainly can such an exact idea be given of the nature and scope of the examination, and consequently the kind and degree of preparation expected.

It is hardly more important that a student should know what he has studied than that he should be able to make his knowledge readily available, that he should have the power of concentration and rapid execution. The limited time allowed to each examination, from an hour to an hour and a half, is therefore of material aid in forming a judgment of the applicant's preparation for college work, and of his mental habits and capacity. It is likely also to secure greater care in the preparatory schools; for to enable applicants to pass creditable admission examinations, it will be necessary for teachers to accustom their pupils to frequent written examinations, limited in time, that shall tax their attention and call forth their energies.

Enlargement of Scope of Examination

The enlargement of the scope of the examinations for admission to the literary course and the courses in science is a matter of importance. It has long been thought desirable that the requirements for admission to these courses should call for as long and as careful preparation as has been necessary to gain admission to the classical course. It has also seemed desirable that the examinations should cover a wider range of subjects; such a range as shall embrace what every business man would be glad to know, and what the business man of the future will feel that he must know. Both of these objects have been reasonably accomplished by the addition of the elements of two of the natural sciences to the requirements for admission to the literary course and the courses in science, and by the further addition of English history and a more critical and extended knowledge of English, to the requirements for admission to the courses in science. To enable applicants to meet these additional requirements within the time usually given to preparation for college, it was found necessary to modify somewhat the previous requirements in mathematics.

It is believed that our present requirements for admission, especially to the colleges of science, will be found to include very fairly the subjects thought necessary to a reasonably good secondary education; in other words, that a young man or a young woman seeking only for such an education as every thoughtful member of society should have, could hardly do better than to take the course of study necessary to gain admission to the University. In pursuance of a notice given some two years ago, the Latin requirements became this year identical for the classical and the literary courses. The requirements for admission to the classical department have not been materially changed.

Standard of Admission

It is a common impression that our standard for admission is much inferior to that of most Eastern colleges. The impression is quite erroneous. A careful comparison of our requirements and entrance examinations with those of Yale, certainly one of the best colleges in the country, and with those of other Eastern Colleges, usually ranked among the best, will show that, as regards the classical department,


5
our standard is in no way inferior to theirs, and that it is quite in advance of some of them, while our requirements for admission to the colleges of science, though differing somewhat in detail from those of the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, are fairly equivalent to them, and higher than those of the Institute of Technology in Boston. Indeed, the policy of the Faculty in so rapidly raising the standard to that of old Eastern institutions of the first class, has sometimes been questioned, especially by those who measure the success of an institution of learning by the number of students in attendance, rather than by the standard of scholarship maintained; for it was feared that the advanced requirements would be an effectual discouragement to many young men and young women who would otherwise attend. The Faculty do not share in this feeling. It is, on the contrary, believed that whatever may be the temporary effect, the ultimate effect must be an increase in the number and quality of students. Indeed, the loss in numbers that finally results from a high standard is not to be regretted, for it is not desirable that there should be aggregated at the University a large body of students unfit for college work, and unwilling to meet the requirements of a high standard of scholarship. A scholarly atmosphere is not created by numbers, but by a learned Faculty and a body of students, small though it may be, of good ability, good attainments, and enthusiastic in their studies. It is not a function of the University to provide for those who have not the capacity or the inclination to do good and faithful work. To such students the University can be of little advantage, and their presence is a constant menace to a proper University spirit. But to students so mature as to place their earnestness beyond question, the University offers every encouragement to the pursuit of special lines of study by freely throwing open all departments of the University to them. Such students have only to satisfy the professors, whose courses of study they wish to pursue, that they are prepared to do the proposed work.

Age of Students Admitted

The average age of the students admitted in June and August of the present year, 1882, was eighteen years one month; that of the young men being eighteen years six months, indicating that with the facilities for preparation now offered in the State, our present requirements for admission will secure students of sufficient maturity to reap the full benefit of a college course. The hearty and creditable manner in which the teachers in the principal schools throughout the State have responded to the new requirements is deserving of special mention.

Examinations at Los Angeles and Marysville

The establishment of admission examinations at Los Angeles and Marysville is likely to prove a matter of much importance to the University and to the educational interests of the State. The uncertainty that young women and young men living in the northern or southern portions of the State feel regarding their ability to pass the examinations necessary for admission to the University, and the very considerable expense that must be incurred in coming to Berkeley, are enough to deter many of them from ever entering upon a preparatory course. Now that the examination is brought within their reach, it is expected that a steadily increasing number from the more


6
remote counties will avail themselves of the advantages offered at the University. The result of the experiment cannot, however, be determined, until it has been tried for three or four years; that is, until the class that had just entered the preparatory schools when the plan was adopted, is ready to graduate and take our examinations. The number of applicants at the first examination, held last June, was small, but rather larger than had been expected. Five applied at Los Angeles and six at Marysville.

The following table shows in detail the result of the admission examinations of the present year, exclusive of the partial and special course students. I have not at hand the data for making comparisons with previous years. The per cent indicated by the figures opposite the first three items is based upon the total number of applicants; the figures opposite the remaining items indicate the percentage conditioned in the various subjects, the per cent being based upon the number of applicants who took the subject named:

Regulations regarding Discipline and Scholarship

There has been, during the year, an essential modification of the regulations regarding discipline and scholarship, by the adoption of the following general regulation:

1. It is presumed that students are in attendance at the University with an earnest purpose, and that they know the difference between good and bad conduct, between faithful and unfaithful work.
2. It is also believed that good mental and moral habits, including gentlemanly and fairminded conduct, are better cultivated by holding the student responsible for setting and observing a proper standard, than by attempting to guide him by prescribed rules and penalties. Whenever, therefore, the Faculty become convinced that a student, either because of ill conduct or neglect of duty, is not making a proper use of the advantages of the University, they will summarily withdraw its privileges, or take such other action as may seem to them best. Moreover, each case will be judged in the light of attending circumstances, so that the same apparent offense in conduct or neglect of duty will not necessarily be visited with the same penalty.
3. A student who satisfactorily completes half the work assigned to any year, may have that work put to his credit, but he must pursue the studies in which he fails on reexamination with the class to which those studies belong, and he must take, in addition, such studies in the next higher class as will make up the greater number of hours required of either of the two classes with which he has studies. No student shall recite with the Juniors if he has a Freshman condition, nor with the Seniors if he has a Sophomore condition.
This regulation shall not be so construed as to interfere with the right of the Faculty at any time to remand a student to the lower of the two classes with which he recites, or to suspend him for neglect of work.

These regulations supersede the detailed regulations heretofore in force, and their significance is important. They assume that students are gentlemen, and that as gentlemen they may be depended upon to carry into all the relations of college life the courtesies and amenities of social life. They remove from the student whatever stimulus to questionable conduct there may be in restrictive regulations; they will serve, at least so far as the University of California


7
is concerned, to test whether the gentlemanly instincts of students have but to be appealed to to be developed; whether self-government begets in students increased self-respect; whether relying upon a student's honor effectually stimulates him to deserve the confidence placed in him. They attempt to remove the ground of the traditional hostility between Faculty and students by making their interests identical.

Such a system of college government implies that the necessity for discipline at all involves the necessity for vigorous and effectual discipline, and so provides for the ready dismissal of any student who has not the habits or instincts of a gentleman or the tastes and ambition of a scholar. It provides, too, for the prompt removal of the student who is known to be wasting his time and jeopardizing the good order of the University or the studious habits of his fellows, even though he has not been detected in and indeed may not have committed any single outrageous act. The provision has been several times put into effectual operation during the year, and will doubtless continue in operation as long as occasion requires. It is confidently hoped that when this liberal and yet vigorous policy becomes understood and appreciated, there will be such a ready response on the part of the students to this appeal to their manhood, that the necessity for discipline will substantially disappear from the University. It is intended that young men who do not attend college for purposes of study shall find the University unattractive, and go elsewhere.

By a former regulation of the Faculty, a student who failed on three leading subjects of any year was compelled to go over the entire work of the year again, and thus be deprived of all hope of ever regaining a position in his class. Under Regulation 3, mentioned above, the student is credited with the work that he has satisfactorily done, provided it amounts to half the work of the year, and hopes are held out to him that with proper industry thereafter, he may make up deficiencies, and so finally graduate with his class. It is expected that a student who is unlikely to complete half the work of any year will not be allowed to remain at college. The new regulation consistently carries out the assumption on the part of the Faculty that students are at the University for an earnest purpose. It makes prominent the fact that the University is educational in its purposes, and not disciplinary. It is a place where educational opportunities are offered, and where proper recognition is accorded to the student who appropriates those opportunities and as rapidly as he appropriates them.

Course in Letters and Science

The following course of study which embraces the characteristics of the proposed Letters and Science Course, but which the Faculty unanimously recommend to be designated as the Course in Letters and Politics, has been adopted and will be open to students who enter the class of 1886. The numberals opposite the several subjects indicate the number of hours per week given to the subject. The letter (E) denotes that the subject is elective, but students must elect enough subjects to make sixteen hours a week. Students who do not pass a satisfactory admission examination in chemistry are required to add chemistry to the subjects named in this scheme:

The distinguishing feature of the course is the prominence given to history, political economy, and political theories, while an unusual opportunity is offered for a complete course in English and German, and for such acquaintance with science as every well educated man is expected to have. Political and financial theories that have been tried again and again, and have again and again failed, are constantly forced anew upon our people, often by honest but ill-informed law-makers. Views regarding the rights of property, communistic in their tendencies, if not professedly communistic, are not uncommon, and are sometimes urged until the prosperity and good order of communities are seriously endangered. It belongs to our colleges and universities to do all that is within their power so to acquaint the young men who, it is hoped, are to be the future leaders of the country, with the history of these failures and the harmfulness of these views, that our people may be saved from their constant repetition.

It belongs to our colleges and universities to give in addition such a liberal general education as shall enable their graduates to formulate and defend, or combat with intelligence and force, new views affecting the public interest. It is the purpose of this course to do a special service in this important matter.

Other important changes looking toward an enlargement of the opportunities for special work at the University are now under consideration. It is desirable, for example, and it is hoped that it may be practicable, so to enlarge and extend our elective courses that a student may pursue to as great completeness as is possible in our best colleges, courses in mathematics, Latin, Greek, English, and indeed in any of the subjects usually offered in the best colleges. The proposition does not look to the abridgment of any of the courses


9
now offered, but to such an enlargement of the opportunities for special work as will at the earliest possible moment place our University abreast in all respects of the best colleges of the country.

Needs

The needs of the University are many and great. First among them, and including most of them, is the need of a large endowment. The University was planned on a large, perhaps an ambitious, scale. Not content with the typical New England college in which the ancient languages form the basis of the education given, the founders of the University of California determined to offer at once to the people of this new and thriving State all the educational advantages that New England has been two or more centuries in developing. The plan is good, but its very extent will prove its greatest weakness, if it is not properly administered. It is one thing to man efficiently a single college with a single course of study, varied only by electives within the course, but quite a different thing to man with equal efficiency an aggregation of colleges or a university. Our corps of instructors is larger than would be necessary for a single college, either of letters or of science, having even a larger attendance than the University now has, and our income is enough to pay such a corps of instructors more nearly adequate salaries than are now paid. But instead of one such college we have many. Now, whatever doubts there may be regarding the wisdom of so extensive a plan for a community so young, we are committed to this broad policy, and it behooves us to carry the work to a successful issue. Indeed, there would seem to be special reasons for believing that there is in California, if not an immediate need for a University on this broad basis, certainly a field for the development of such an one. It would only be commensurate with our material resources and prosperity, and a fit supplement to them. Indeed, I am of the opinion that, as a purely commercial enterprise, the ample endowment of the University would be a wise investment. We have only to add to our material advantages the best educational advantages to make the attractions of our State equal to those of any other State in the Union, in the eyes of people that we should most care to have settle among us. No material advantages compensate, in the eyes of a desirable population, for the loss of educational opportunities. And, as regards our educational possibilities, we have in some respects advantages over old Eastern institutions, in that we are not hampered by narrowing traditions. Now the first and prime essential to the proper development of our University is a Faculty learned enough and large enough to give as good instruction and as able guidance as can be had in all the branches of study usually found in colleges of science and the liberal arts. To retain such able and learned men, and to secure others like them, good and stable salaries must be paid; salaries that compare favorably with the earnings of successful men in the professions of law and medicine, and there must be withal a feeling of confidence in the stability and permanence of the institution; a feeling that whatever fluctuation of opinion there may be on matters of State policy or local interest, the University will always be the center of a common interest, and the common object of a hearty and liberal support.

Our corps of instructors is too small for the work contemplated.


10
Our English department should be strengthened by a chair in English in contradistinction to English Literature, and by one or more additional instructorships in rhetorical work, including composition and theme writing. I cannot cease to wonder that our own language and literature should hold a secondary place in most colleges and universities. The study of the language, especially in its sources, instead of being made an essential or even an important part of our courses in English, has been for the most part relegated to the place of a specialty, and that, too, despite the unanimous testimony of Presidents and Professors who have expressed themselves on this point, that, among college students, deficiencies in English are more marked than in any other subject. Excellence of scholarship in English, and elegance of style, are certainly most frequently found among students and graduates, but the credit belongs more to their native ability and their self-directed study than to the encouragement or help of the colleges. If this is true, we should not be content to have our course in English merely equal to those usually found in the best colleges. It should easily outrank the best of them. There is, therefore, no chair that I should be so glad to see endowed, as a chair in English; none that I think would yield so desirable a return to the student and to the University.

The classes in German have so rapidly increased that the work is already more than any one man should be called upon to do, and it is likely soon to be beyond the power of a single instructor.

Special instruction should be provided in botany, and is almost a necessity in entomology.

It is certainly to be regretted that no permanent provision is made for instruction in the Gymnasium. Simple instruction in athletic exercises would be quite insufficient. For the proper direction of a gymnasium the instructor should be capable of giving systematic individual direction calculated to remedy individual physical defects.

Besides the further enlargement of our regular corps of instructors, there should be funds sufficient to enable your Board occasionally to invite distinguished lecturers from other colleges and universities to deliver courses at our University. I know of nothing more stimulating to a proper university spirit than contact with learned men from distinguished institutions in different parts of our country.

Chair of Mental and Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity

Inquiries have been most industriously made, both by the committee to which the matter was referred, and by Mr. D. O. Mills, regarding a suitable candidate for the Mills Professorship of Mental and Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity. As yet no suitable, and at the same time available candidate has been found, and, with the wisdom and breadth of view that characterized the original gift, Mr. Mills has expressed the most earnest wish that the chair should remain vacant until it can be filled by a man whose merits place his selection beyond question.

While our courses of study in the Colleges of Science certainly compare favorably with like courses in other colleges, we are hardly doing what we may fairly claim that we should have the privilege of doing, and what I hope we shall eventually be able to do. We have Colleges of Agriculture, Mechanics, Mining, Engineering, and Chemistry, to which students are admitted, and, as it would seem, of


11
necessity admitted, with attainments altogether too slight to make it possible to give in them, during four years, the courses necessary to the professional degrees. The several Faculties have therefore very wisely made the courses of study in the first two years identical for all these colleges, and of a general disciplinary and culture character. With the Junior year a differentiation of studies begins, and the student is thereafter given subjects that bear directly upon the profession he intends to follow. But it is quite impossible, during the two remaining years, for the student to do the work necessary to his professional degree, and the several Faculties have, therefore, very wisely again, declined to do more than recommend all alike for the degree of Bachelor of Science. The remedy is not, at present at least, in raising our standard of admission to those colleges by the work of the Freshman year, or the Freshman and Sophomore years, but by post-graduate courses. If there were regularly organized schools in the State whose main purpose was preparation for the University, there might be a choice of remedies. I cannot willingly pass from this point without deprecating the haste that is so commonly made, especially, I think, in California, to get at the active work of life without reference, I was about to say, to fitness for the work chosen. I cannot but think that, for any profession, the year or two of extra work given by the student to perfecting himself in the science of his profession is time spent to the best possible advantage.

Indeed it is greatly to be regretted that all students do not complete one of the regular undergraduate courses before entering upon their special technical studies.

Post-graduate Courses

The suggestion regarding post-graduate courses is not made with reference entirely to prospective students; applications for information regarding such courses have of late been made with such frequency as to indicate that there is at present something of a demand for them. Nor would the advantages of post-graduate courses be confined to the students pursuing them. The presence at the University of a body of young men of high aims and scholarly habits would have a most stimulating influence throughout the entire University. The obvious objection will be made, indeed it has already been made, that if these ample means of education are provided, and the requisite number of professors and instructors employed, the expenses of the University will be out of all proportion to the work to be done and the students in attendance. But education is not a commodity that can be accurately estimated in dollars and cents, nor is an instructor's value to a community to be measured by the number of students under him. If the cost of the individual student should be taken as at all indicating whether an institution is a profitable investment, the best colleges in the country would have to be closed. It has been again and again shown that even the colleges that require the largest tuition fees expend, in the education of each student, many hundred dollars more than they receive from him.

Encouragement of Original Research

Something special should be said, too, and not by way of apology, for the necessity we should be under, if post-graduate courses of considerable fullness should be established, of having at the University


12
perhaps several professors and instructors with comparatively light work in the class room. It can hardly, however, be possible that the view of the duties of a professor which measures his usefulness and value solely by the duties of the recitation room is at all prevalent among our people. These duties are certainly important, but the University that does not encourage in her professors the spirit of original work--that does not feel honored in being the means, through her professors, of enlarging the field of human knowledge, or of improving the means of communicating it--deserves to have in her chairs only the men who have neither the ambition nor the capacity to do original work. For the present, perhaps, we must leave to older and better endowed institutions the honor of supporting distinguished men, whose entire time may be devoted to investigation, but we cannot afford not to offer inducements to men with powers of original research to remain.

But the claims of the University to larger endowments may be based upon more obvious, if not upon such high grounds. Our distance from the great centers of education places upon us something of an obligation to put within the easy reach of our sons and daughters educational advantages of the highest excellence. But it is evident that if we are to have a great university, a university rivaling the best in the country, it must be made so by offering the opportunities and the encouragements to be found at the best universities. There is perhaps danger of our deceiving ourselves by thinking that we are what, under our organization, it is possible for us to become. Our foundation is certainly broad enough, but with our present endowment it is quite impossible for us to build suitably upon it. If we are to have the best of its kind we must either narrow our field or enlarge our resources.

To make good the shrinkage in the income of the University due to the necessity of reinvesting maturing investments at a much lower rate of interest, and to provide and maintain the instruction and equipment necessary to such a development of the University as I have outlined, our endowment should be increased by a million dollars. Even with this endowment our resources will not equal those of some of the eastern colleges and universities that we hope to rival in educational advantages, and that we can rival only through resources abundant enough to get and keep distinguished men in our Faculties and provide them with the best known educational appliances.

Scholarships and Fellowships

Hardly second in importance to an increase in our endowment is the establishment at the University of a liberal number of scholarships and fellowships to be awarded to promising young men and women of limited means. It is hardly necessary, perhaps, to mention anew a fact that has been so often observed and commented upon by college professors and others: that a large proportion of the students conspicuous for their industry and ability are young men of limited means, whose every educational step has cost them a struggle. Their very presence at college under such difficulties is a sufficient warrant for their pluck, that very good substitute for genius. It would be of great value to the University also to have such a body of students as these scholarships would bring; students whose high character and scholarly aims would be a moral and an


13
intellectual stimulus to the entire University. Such influences cannot be too much fostered, and are not likely to be overestimated. Such a body of students is a distinguishing characteristic of the Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, and the liberal provision of fellowships has contributed very much to that most desirable result. Without such opportunities our University must lose many of these most desirable students. In one single eastern University the scholarships, loan fund, and other means of pecuniary assistance, yield annually about $40,000; very nearly half the entire income of our University. I know of no way by which one could do more good to the present generation and to posterity, and perpetuate a more enviable reputation, than by founding such scholarships and fellowships in our University. Fellowships that would allow the holder to pursue his studies in the East, or in Europe, would also be extremely desirable, for there are not unfrequently young men, and there may be young women, who very much desire to pursue their studies abroad, and to whom such fellowships would give the opportunity. I have now in mind two such cases, both most deserving; one a recent graduate, another still in the University; young men who, with proper opportunities, would be likely to reflect great credit upon the University, and to render great service to it, either as instructors or as leading educators in the schools that we hope soon to see built up throughout the State. Owing to the fact that a much smaller annual income will suffice to pay a student's expenses at the University of California than at most eastern colleges, the sum necessary to found a single scholarship is so inconsiderable as to warrant the hope that the University will not be long without a goodly number of them. Scholarship funds ranging from two thousand to five thousand dollars, and traveling fellowship funds of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars, would yield sufficient income to bring many a young man to the University who could not otherwise hope for a liberal education. To be sure, the income of two thousand dollars would not yield enough to pay a student's entire expenses, but it is not always, indeed it is seldom, desirable to take from a young man all necessity for special exertion, or even for self sacrifice. He who is not willing, and, in some degree, by his perseverance, able to help himself, does not deserve the help of others.

Want of Preparatory Schools

I have thus far only considered what is necessary to enable us to offer to promising students superior educational advantages and unusual facilities for availing themselves of these advantages. There yet remains for solution a still more practical question of interest alike to the University and to those who wish to enjoy it. How shall the young men and the young women, especially those in the smaller towns and in the country, get proper preparation for the University? And here we are met by a strange anomaly, introduced by the new Constitution. Our well rounded system of public education, beginning with the primary school and ending with the University, is not unfrequently referred to by Californians with a pride that might be justifiable if we had such a system. But the new Constitution has given to the State free primary and grammar schools, and a free University, but has withdrawn all State support from high schools, the connecting link between the secondary schools and the University. High Schools are, by this provision, discountenanced, and if


14
they are supported at all they must be supported by local taxation. The system is divided in its most vital part. The higher education is freely offered, but the means of obtaining suitable preparation for it are denied. This is not the place to discuss the question of the extent to which education at public expense should be given. It is my purpose simply to call attention to the remarkable attitude of the State in the matter, and to suggest a remedy. As nearly as I can determine, out of the fifty-two counties in the State but seven offer opportunities for preparation for the University at the public schools, and under the operation of the new Constitution the number of High Schools has already diminished by one. In other words, our boasted free University is free to those who can afford to pay for preparatory education, but practically cut off from those who are not able to incur this preliminary expense--the very persons whose education it is of especial interest to the State to secure. There should be no necessary gaps in American society, nothing that tends even artificially to the creation of caste, and least of all should any such tendency be found in our educational system. Education is the one avenue through which the young man of the slenderest means may hope to have an opportunity to measure himself with the most favored in the country, and it should therefore be kept as clear as possible. That it was a mistake to cut off all connection between our free schools and the University is now commonly admitted. It was doubtless urged as a strong reason for this action that high schools were not “practical” in their courses of study; that fitting for the University was unfitting for a business career. I believe that the more carefully the present requirements for admission to the University are examined, especially those for the scientific colleges, the more will they be found to contain only that which every well informed young man or woman should know upon entering upon the most ordinary pursuits of life. There should be established in every county in the State, and in every considerable town in the State, a school in which preparation for the University could be had. If such schools were established it would ultimately result, no doubt, that a connection would be formed between them and the University so intimate that passing from them to the University would be like passing from one class to another in the same school. Such schools, too, would systematize and unify education in the State as nothing else could do, for the University examinations would serve as a common and an unbiased means of comparing the excellence of the schools throughout the State. I can see no other way by which the University can be brought within the reach of every youth in the State. And again, the same thing may be said with reference to this point that has been said regarding other recommendations. If we are to hope to equal the best colleges and universities in the East we must be upheld by like support in our secondary schools. New England is filled with public schools that fit for her universities and colleges, and New England is therefore more universally and better educated than any other portion of the country. Nothing, again, would add so much to the attractions of the State as such a system of schools, and their establishment and support would be a wise business enterprise, if there were no higher motive.

College of Letters

Our Classical Course, our Literary Course, and our Course in Letters and Science, are well developed, and compare favorably with those of Eastern Colleges. We, however, differ from the best of them in making Greek and Latin so long compulsory in the Classical Course, and in limiting the range of electives, especially in the Junior and Senior years. I cannot but think that this is unwise, and that the settled policy of learned institutions everywhere, to encourage special scholarship by offering special opportunities for the pursuit of a liberal course of advanced study in the different departments of learning, would be the best policy for us. In education, as in the industries of life, we must differentiate if we would attain the best results.

Agriculture

The limited attendance upon the College of Agriculture, here as elsewhere, is often taken as indicating that there is not a sufficient demand for skilled agricultural labor to warrant the support of agricultural colleges. A large attendance of students is certainly desirable; but it would seem to be a mistaken idea to measure the value of an agricultural college by its attendance. There is too much intelligence among the farmers of to-day to allow them to remain long in ignorance of new discoveries in agricultural science. The scientific agriculturist makes an important discovery to-day, and to-morrow it is known throughout the entire agricultural community. The farmer does not, to be sure, work with the efficiency that would accompany an agricultural education, but his practical knowledge enables him to reap the substantial benefits of the discoveries of other men; and so the college would return to the community many times the cost of its support, even if there were not a single student in attendance. Indeed, the chief function of the Agricultural College at the present time would seem unquestionably to be agricultural experiment station work. Your attention is called to the further discussion of this point in the accompanying report of Professor Hilgard, a report whose recommendations in detail merit your most earnest consideration. The appendices mentioned therein are yet in course of preparation, and will be transmitted for publication as soon as completed.

Civil Engineering

For the Department of Civil Engineering and Astronomy, additional surveying instruments are needed, also a small transit circle, a chronometer or an astronomical clock with electro chronograph attachment, and a zenith telescope, such as is used in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. An equatorially mounted telescope of five or six inches aperture, with clockwork attachment, would add greatly to the interest and profit of the instruction in this department. Professor Soulé has estimated that five thousand dollars would be sufficient to purchase these instruments and erect a building suitable for their reception. In connection with such an observatory, self-registering apparatus for recording temperature, barometric pressure, wind force and direction, and terrestrial tremors, might well be provided. The desirability of these additions to the laboratory department of this college is so evident as to need no argument.


16

Chemistry

The superior opportunities for the study of chemistry offered in our College of Chemistry are well known. Our chemical laboratory is equaled in but few colleges in the country. Nothing further need be said.

Laboratories

The further development of our laboratories is of prime importance. To argue this point would be like arguing the necessity of a carpenter shop in teaching carpentry. In a communication to me regarding the necessity of additional apparatus for the physical laboratory, of which he is Superintendent, Instructor Slate has well said:

The entire laboratory system in science teaching at the present time is founded on the experience that nothing acts so directly to organize one's knowledge as the necessity of applying it to the attainment of some desired end. The standing difficulty of a young graduate in getting started in life, is due to lack of practice in this direction, and may be, in great measure, obviated by exercise under intelligent guidance in the constructive application of his knowledge, which tests its definiteness, encourages the habit of combining to reach a given result, and acts as a stimulus to further acquirement. Literary men early recognized that a good test of a man's power is his ability to do positive work--to write good English in the expression of his thoughts. “Writing makes an exact man.” We now take a similar position in science. Physics offers many advantages for this kind of discipline. Its wide range covers natural phenomena of many kinds, while the stage of development it has reached renders necessary the application of the student's mathematical and chemical knowledge, and thus stimulates the prosecution of these branches of science. The tendency to do things by guess work is discouraged and replaced by precision of thought, habits of weighing and measuring, which are not without direct influence on the character. The general effect of such training is to substitute for empiricism intelligence. The engineer will understand the optical principles of the instruments he uses, the sources of error and their comparative magnitude; the chemist will understand the balance and the thermometer and battery he uses, and so on through the list. Even the general student takes away from such a course a better idea of scientific experimental methods than can possibly be conveyed by mere description.

The physical laboratory is fairly started, but at least five thousand five hundred dollars are needed to furnish it with suitable apparatus. A detailed list of the apparatus needed is on file at the President's office. It is of great importance that this laboratory should be furnished at the earliest moment with the apparatus asked for.

Our mineralogical laboratory is well equipped, and in it unusual facilities are offered for this branch of study.

Mechanics and Mines

And what has been said regarding other laboratories may be repeated regarding the laboratories and workshops in our Colleges of Mechanics and Mines.

As in agriculture, so in mechanics and mining, there are many problems of the greatest importance to the industries of the State that can nowhere else be so readily and so thoroughly solved as in the Colleges of Mechanics and Mines. Indeed, original investigation by instructors and advanced students, and the conducting of experiments of general interest, are not only legitimate functions, but should ultimately become most important functions of these colleges. There are, for example, important problems relating to hydraulics and mining machinery, and to the most economical methods of treating our so-called rebellious ores, that might properly be investigated in these colleges. The outlay that would be necessary to support, in great efficiency, all the colleges having so close a bearing upon our material development, would be returned again and again,


17
as was said regarding the College of Agriculture, if there were not a student in attendance, if they were but experiment stations. The complete carrying out of this plan would involve the occasional publication of bulletins containing the results of the investigations pursued; a thing indeed most desirable, both for the public and for the University.

The machinery for the mechanical laboratory and workshop is being put in place as rapidly as possible, and a skilled mechanic will be employed for its detailed management before the publication of this report. Here the necessary apparatus, working models, and diagrams for use in the lecture room, and the machines and implements used in conducting original investigations, will be made. Aside from the special experimental work that will be constantly conducted in this laboratory, the student will there be brought into direct contact with the application of the principles and problems that have engaged his attention in the class room. For the further development of this work about ten thousand dollars will be needed.

So also most excellent facilities for instruction are being rapidly developed in the College of Mines. A large and well equipped metallurgical laboratory has been built, containing among other appliances, eleven furnaces of different kinds, and a large assortment of apparatus for examining and assaying ores of all kinds. In it the student is required to make complete assays of the principal ores, and to verify the results until the instructor feels confident that his methods are correct, and that he has sufficient knowledge to detect and check his own errors. It is of the greatest importance to the fullest development of this college that to these appliances a small stamp battery and proper roasting and smelting furnaces, with the necessary equipments, should be added, so as to enable students to work small batches of ore by the same methods that are employed on a large scale. With these additional facilities the student would have the opportunity, and be required to use it, of examining, sampling, and assaying a given ore, deciding upon the best method of treatment, and of testing the accuracy of his conclusions by working the ore. This enlargement would enable us to enter upon a series of experiments, as before suggested, regarding the most economical method of treating our so called rebellious or refractory ores--a question of great importance to the further development of our mineral resources. The advantage of a school of mines thus thoroughly developed, and having such ample opportunities for students to visit and study the best and most typical mines on the coast, are obvious. If, to the theoretical training to be had in foreign schools, could be added this adaptation to our local needs--that is, the needs of the Pacific Coast--it is plain that no school could compare with it as a training school for mining and metallurgical engineers whose field of operation is to be on this coast. And such a school we should have, or none at all. Instructor Christy, who has charge of this department, and who has thus far developed it, has in preparation plans and estimates for the additional experimental work necessary to the further development of this college. They will be ready for your inspection at the proper time. It is hoped that there will be no necessity for urging the appropriation that will be required to carry out these plans.

I trust that in due time to our other laboratories may be added a


18
zoölogical and a palaeontological laboratory, and that with them may come a museum building with suitable recitation rooms adjoining, so that our collections may be used as working collections and not primarily for purposes of exhibition.

Library

I may very properly speak of the library in connection with the laboratories of the University, for it is in truth our chief laboratory. Through the liberality of the late Michael Reese the library is in receipt of the very considerable sum of three thousand dollars a year. This sum, though not enough to develop the library as rapidly as is desirable, will serve to keep us fairly abreast of the literature of the day bearing upon subjects of special interest to the student. Indeed, the library is more valuable as a reference library than most libraries many times its size. It is cumbered with few books of little value, and a fair portion of the books are of peculiar value. It now numbers some twenty thousand volumes, a valuable portion of which was the gift of Mr. Pioche and Mr. H. D. Bacon. The circulating portion of the library, though of secondary importance to the reference portion, should yet be developed more rapidly than is possible with our present means. Additional endowments of the library would be most acceptable.

Art Gallery

An art collection that promises to be of great value to the University has been initiated by gifts of paintings and statuary from Mr. Pioche and Mr. H. D. Bacon.

The collection received, during the year, a most valuable addition, in the gift of Mrs. Mark Hopkins, of Leutz's famous painting of Washington at Monmouth.

Following this report will be found a tabular view of the work done during the year in the different colleges at Berkeley.

While much remains to be done to make the University what, under its organization, it should become, it yet deserves better of the public than the public has known. It already offers better educational opportunities than are to be had at most Eastern institutions usually ranked above it. But its future depends upon the appreciation in which this excellent beginning is held, and upon the singleness of purpose, the intelligence, and the heartiness with which it is encouraged and fostered.

W. T. REID, President.

Report of Professor E. W. Hilgard

President W. T. Reid:

DEAR SIR: In response to your circular requesting suggestions regarding the “improvement and increased efficiency” of the department under my charge, I respectfully submit the points hereinafter noted, together with appendices embracing the results of the experiment station work carried on under my direction during the last two years.

The course of instruction in the subjects more directly related to agriculture has, during that period, been continued substantially as in the preceding years; the subjects of general as well as economic botany and agricultural chemistry being taught by myself, while the course of practical agriculture and special cultures has been given by Mr. Dwinelle, except only the subject of dairying, which has, as for some years past, formed the subject of a special course of twelve lectures by Mr. E. J. Wickson. In these courses the College of Agriculture has had its fair proportion of students among the scientific colleges.

It is nevertheless true that the numbers of those attending is very small in proportion to the predominance of agriculture as a pursuit. This is the case throughout the United States, and the causes leading to this state of things, which I have discussed in a late publication, are such that, in my opinion, it cannot be remedied by any direct action in the organization of the college, consistently with its character of a professional school. The unexhausted soils as yet yield rich returns even to rude culture, and as a consequence, farmers do not generally appreciate the utility and need of the use of trained intellect and science in their industry. And yet there is in California a more remunerative field for the exercise of discriminating judgment, and the application of science, than is the case in any other State of the Union. Owing to the great diversity of climates and soils, and their adaptation to a great variety of cultures, yielding high returns on small areas, fruit, and especially grape culture, with the use of irrigated lands, impart a character of permanence to agricultural investment that is not usual in States as young as this, and hence the instability of the pioneer farmer is largely offset by the obvious interest of the owner of such valuable properties, to maintain their value, and to increase and improve their products to the highest extent possible. There is, therefore, a real demand for agricultural science greater than in most States west of the Alleghany range. But it has not yet found its natural source of supply. To point this out, and to prove to farmers by actual demonstration the utility of the knowledge that the College of Agriculture offers to impart to their sons gratuitously, is, in my view, the most important function which, at the present time, the College of Agriculture can discharge.


26

1. Experiment Station Work

In elucidation of these views, I cannot do better than to quote, in this connection, part of a communication addressed by me to Governor Perkins on this subject in May last:

In the effort toward the fulfillment of the practical objects contemplated by that Act, considerable diversity of opinion has prevailed, and has found expression in a corresponding diversity of organization in the colleges established in the several States. Without entering upon a discussion of these, and of their respective merits, it may be said that one point has made itself prominently felt in all, namely: the need of a detailed knowledge of the agricultural features and special adaptations of the States and their several agricultural subdivisions, and of the experimental investigation of the numerous practical problems that meet the farmer at every turn, and upon the solution of which so often depends the question of profit or loss, success or failure. While the performance of the work of agricultural surveys and experiment stations by the colleges is not directly prescribed as one of their functions in the fundamental Act, experience has shown it to be one of the most important means at their command for benefiting agriculture at the present time, not only by the actual demonstration of the best methods of treating soils and crops under endlessly varying local conditions, but also in showing farmers the advantages to be derived from an intelligent observation of facts, and from the application of scientific knowledge and principles to their pursuit, thus inducing fathers to give their sons the opportunity of acquiring such knowledge for themselves in the institutions created for that purpose. The experiment station work seems, at the present stage of our agriculture, to offer the most direct mode of benefiting both the present and the future generations, since attendance upon agricultural schools will always be small so long as the soil is unexhausted, and offers to the rudest tillage, for the time being, rewards nearly as great as those realized by the most intelligent culture. Such a state of things can, it is true, be only of short duration, even in the most productive regions; and where cultures and methods involving large permanent investments prevail--as is the case in the vineyards, orchards, and irrigated lands of California--ordinary business prudence leads men to foresee and endeavor to provide against the inevitable and disastrous consequences of irrational and exhaustive cultivation.
It is thus that, compared with other and much older States, California has a more vital and immediate interest in progressive and rational agriculture; the more as her varied climates and soils present endless and most attractive opportunities for varied cultures and industries. It is thus that the experiment station work carried on so far by the agricultural department of the University, although very limited in its means, has nevertheless attracted considerable attention, and has been able to throw light on many important practical questions, as may be seen from the three reports of work thus far published. Besides a general investigation of the soils of the State; of the nature and remedies for the “alkali,” with which some regions are afflicted; of the nature and effects of waters serving or intended to serve for irrigation; analyses of fruits, materials for sugar making, of grapes, wines, and musts: there have been made on the grounds of the University extended culture experiments on the effects of various fertilizers and methods of culture on the cereal and forage crops, while at the same time a very large number of new varieties of these have been introduced from Europe and elsewhere, their adaptation tested, and seed of the more promising kinds distributed over the State. The same course has been pursued in regard to other culture plants, and the garden of economic plants shows in actual cultivation, for experiment as well as for demonstration to classes, most of the important cultivated plants capable of out-door culture in the coast climate. The propagating houses, so far as their capacity allows, show the same for plants requiring protection; but here, unfortunately, the limit of accommodation is already reached, and the space falls far short of the needs of the department, though a great deal of interesting material is on hand. During the last two years, a large number of species of forest trees, from the East, Europe, Asia, and Australia, have been grown from imported seed, and some of these, including the cinchona, with other plants, have been distributed to intelligent persons in various parts of the State for trial. The University grounds are being utilized for the purposes of an illustrative and experimental arborteum, in which the adaptation of forest trees to the climate and for practical purposes will be tested. The investigation of noxious and beneficial insects, and of the means for repressing insects and other pests--such as the ground squirrel, for which an efficacious antidote has been found--is also in active progress.
It is, perhaps, needless to discuss the utility of these investigations toward the progress of agriculture and a knowledge of the resources of the State, which will be farther increased and diffused by the publication of an agricultural map of the State, now in course of preparation by myself, and soon to be issued by the census office. The utility would be greatly increased by the establishment of other experiment stations, located in representative localities in the several climatic and soil regions of the State, where local questions could be best investigated and determined, in cooperation with the central station at the University. To some extent this function has been performed by intelligent farmers in the various sections. But experimental work is, of necessity, expensive, and especially so where a great variety of operations is carried on on a small scale, as is the case at the University. The pecuniary benefits to be expected as their ultimate outcome will lie altogether outside of the experimental grounds, and at the present time the demand upon the department for information, investigation, and experiment has completely outrun its resources and the provisions made therefor by previous Legislatures.

27

In other words, I consider that the work of an agricultural experiment station, in which practical questions of all kinds that puzzle farmers in their daily pursuits are experimentally determined and answered, is the key to the situation, so far as the utility and public appreciation of the College of Agriculture is concerned. I would, therefore, earnestly urge that the Board of Regents should, so far as in them lies, endeavor to maintain and foster this part of our work, and to provide for it the means needful to its successful and unhampered development. It is, at best, a very heavy addition to the regular duties of the instructors, which are nowise diminished by a small attendance of pupils. This additional burden has been voluntarily and gratuitously assumed, and cheerfully borne, so long as a satisfactory rate of progress could be maintained. It cannot, however, be expected that this should continue indefinitely, especially under the stress of inadequate means and the performance of mere routine work of a clerical nature, coupled with all the vexations incident to the accumulation of retarded work. If the work is worth doing at all, it is worth while to have it well and promptly done.

The appropriation asked by the Board of the last Legislature ($5,000 per annum) has, as I represented in my last report, proved entirely inadequate to the operations of the department, with the increasing demands made upon it, and the necessary increase of compensation for competent employes. For the present year, the work on the agricultural grounds has been altogether restricted to the maintenance of the permanent planting. The garden of economic plants is reduced to half its size and complement of plants, no sowings having been made except of such seeds as would otherwise have been lost. The distribution of seeds and plants has, of necessity, been almost entirely omitted.

In view of this discouraging state of affairs, I respectfully request that timely measures be taken toward securing from the next Legislature a reasonably adequate appropriation for the purposes of the experiment station work. Failing which, it would be preferable to discontinue it until the public sentiment of the State shall demand its revival, with adequate provision for its maintenance.

Funds Required

As to the amount actually needed, I have made a careful revision of the expenditure during the year when the work was on the most satisfactory footing, viz., 1881. Making due allowance for the deficiencies that occurred even then, I find that the average pay-roll per month for labor and superintendence must be placed at about $335, or say $4,000 per annum. Add to this $1,800 for the salary of the regular lecturer on practical agriculture, Mr. Dwinelle, and $120 for the course in dairying, to which should be added another similar one on viticulture, making $2,040 for instruction. For clerical and other work, such as could be performed by students employed by the hour--preparing and writing labels, making up and dispatching seed packages, the stenciling of a number of additional diagrams imperatively needed in the lecture room, labeling and arranging collections, etc., from $300 to $400 per annum should be provided for. Add to this the much needed purchase of some additional implements, plows, roller, etc., repairs, shoeing of horses, the purchase and distribution of seeds and plants, postage, and miscellaneous


28
expenses in the maintenance of the propagating houses and garden, and at least $1,000 will be required over and above. I therefore respectfully suggest that an appropriation of not less than $7,500 per annum, or $15,000 for two years, be asked of the next Legislature on behalf of this work. I feel quite sure that such a request would be heartily seconded by the enlightened agricultural sentiment of the State.

If the above estimate for labor on the experimental grounds of the University should seem too high, in view of the small area so occupied, I would call attention to the fact that not only does the multiplicity of small plots, which have at times numbered no less than 650, preclude almost entirely the current use of labor-saving implements, by which many times the area could easily be kept under cultivation if occupied by one or a few crops; but the kind of labor employed has to be of the best class, “extra hands,” qualified and willing to carry out faithfully and in detail all instructions given, and to be trusted for exercising some judgment of their own in doubtful cases. In addition, the application of the “eight hour law” to our work adds materially to its cost over and above that done in a private establishment.

The report of Professor Dwinelle on the experiments in field cultures, made during the past two years, and on other matters germane thereto, forms Appendix No. 2 to the present report. Among the greatest needs of the experimental grounds is the laying of about 3,000 feet of underdrains, for the relief of some of the best portions of the lands which are now almost unavailable for experimental purposes on account of their excessive wetness in Spring, and the washing away of the soil during heavy rains, destroying all comparison with adjoining plots differently situated. Professor Dwinelle's report give some details and estimates in this connection.

The report of Mr. W. G. Klee, gardener in general charge of the experimental grounds, on subjects connected with horticulture and forestry, forms Appendix No. 3, to which is added a list of donations of seeds, plants, etc., received during the period covered by the present report.

2. Laboratory Work

In connection with this work, the employment of a competent laboratory assistant is of the utmost importance. I have in previous reports, called attention to the undesirable state of things in this respect, which virtually makes of the working laboratory a training school for analytical chemists, who in a year or two find more profitable employment, and thus compel the biennial repetition of the breaking in of a raw hand. This is a grave drawback upon the work, involving practically the loss of at least six months time in actual progress as the result of every such change; but also affects its quality, and for the time being is a heavy burden in addition to the regular and irregular duties of the department. A graduate of good ability will serve one, or possibly two years, at the low compensation now allowed (fifty dollars per month), for the sake of learning, but in order to retain him an increase of pay to at least seventy-five dollars per month is necessary after that. If such increase cannot be afforded out of the University funds, an allowance for that purpose should be made in the estimate of the appropriation for experiment station work, of which this position forms


29
an indispensable part. At the present time, the resignation of Mr. M. E. Jaffa, from the causes just recited, leaves the department without a chemist, and for the time being without an acceptable candidate for that position. Numerous requests for information, the replies to which involve some chemical work, are on file, but cannot be acted on.

A record and discussion of the laboratory work done since the last report was made, forms Appendix No. 1 to this report. It refers largely to the investigation, classification, and mapping out of the soils of the State, and with that end in view, the soil analyses heretofore made and reported upon, are re-introduced for the sake of completeness and comparison. Among the analyses are twelve of soils belonging to districts in which cotton culture may hereafter become a prominent industry, and which for that reason were selected by me for investigation in connection with the census report on the cotton production of the United States. The soils so analyzed under the auspices and at the expense of the census office, are introduced here by permission of the Superintendent of the Census, and marked by an asterisk (*). They were mostly collected by myself personally, while traveling during the recesses of the University, under the auspices and at the expense of the census office, with a view to the construction of a soil map to accompany a report upon the agricultural features of that part of the State adapted to cotton culture, which will be published during the coming year.

3. Viticultural Work

The work in the viticultural laboratory, provided for by an appropriation of $3,000, made three years ago by the Legislature, has been continued (with occasional interruptions in favor of field work, on behalf of the Viticultural Commission) by Mr. F. W. Morse, who has been for some time past engaged in the elaboration of the results elicited by the work on the vintages of 1880 and 1881, as well as on samples furnished by wine makers in different parts of the State. The report on this subject forms Appendix No. 4 to the present communication, and will be found to embrace a good many important facts and suggestions in connection with the wine industry in this State. In the nature of the case, however, such investigations applied to only two crops, and a few only of the more prominent grape varieties, can merely serve to point out the way to farther prosecution of the research; as is always and unavoidably the case in agricultural investigations, where hasty conclusions are very apt to be upset by continued experience. The fund for this purpose is now exhausted, and unless the continuation of the special work is provided for by a renewal of the appropriation, it can hereafter only receive its proportionate share of attention among the other experimental work. This would be the more unfortunate, as the special practice and skill in this direction acquired by Mr. Morse, could not be commanded under the arrangements now in force in respect to the assistant in the general agricultural laboratory. In view of the slight running expenses, now that the laboratory and cellar are fitted up for work, an appropriation of $2,000 for the two coming years would suffice to provide for the continuation of these very desirable investigations.

4. Instruction in Botany

It will be remembered that six years ago I took charge of instruction in botany, finding that course indispensable as an attractive introduction to the more strictly professional studies in my department. The result has, I think, justified my views in the matter; but, at the same time, the somewhat exacting nature of the botany course has compelled me, as a matter of physical necessity, to abridge greatly the course of agricultural chemistry. This is unfortunate as involving the properly fundamental study of the agricultural course, and is a source of complaint on the part of the special students. It would be exceedingly desirable to place at least the first part of the botany course, and preferably the whole, in the hands of a competent specialist, whether as a lecturer or a permanent chair of botany, such as exists in nearly all other collages, based upon the Morrill grant. The course of agricultural chemistry, extended to its legitimate scope, coupled with the duties of the experiment station work, would afford ample and very important occupation for myself, and a somewhat excessive strain from lecture duties, under which my health has been imperiled, would be measurably relieved.

5. Instruction in General and Economic Entomology

Is clearly called for by the exigencies of the situation as regards insect pests in the State. The demand for information has caused Mr. Dwinelle to give considerable attention and time to the subject during the past year, and to give regular hours, outside of those called for by his regular engagement, to elementary and general instruction, and discussion of specially important groups, with the Senior class--the study having been made obligatory upon students in the agricultural course, by action of the Faculty. But the subject clearly demands such time and detailed study as can only be given it by a specialist, and I earnestly suggest that the attempt to obtain an endowment for a chair of general and economic entomology, made at the last session of the Legislature, be strenuously renewed at the coming session. Any efforts made by the Regents in this direction will be strongly seconded by the fruit-growing and general agricultural interests of the State, who are fully alive to the importance of a timely repression of the danger threatening some of our most important industries from the increase of noxious insects. The legislation now in force has prepared the way for what is obviously needed, systematic investigation and instruction in economic entomology. The donation recently made to the University, of a valuable collection of beetles, forms both a good beginning for instruction and a proof of the appreciation of the importance of farther steps to be taken in this matter. Professor Dwinelle's active participation in the war against noxious insects, as President of the State Board of Horticulture, has in addition to its practical usefulness, served to extend the appreciation of the work of the University in coöperating with all efforts for the benefit and improvement of agriculture in the State.

In conclusion, I beg leave to call attention to the fact that the matters mentioned under numbers two, three, four, and five, lie outside of the scope of the appropriation of $15,000 recommended for


31
the general work, and would require additional funds to be carried into effect.


Very respectfully,
E. W. HILGARD,
Professor of Agriculture and Botany.

[Report of Dean Robert A. McLean]

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, MEDICAL DEPARTMENT,

SAN FRANCISCO, September 21, 1882.

W. T. Reid, A. M., President University of California:

DEAR SIR: I herewith present a report of the condition of the medical department, from the beginning of the session of 1881, to this date.

The number of matriculants for the session of 1881, was sixty-one. Of these, the Senior class numbered eighteen; the Junior, twenty-two; and the Freshman, twenty-one. Two of the Senior class withdrew, leaving sixteen who passed the required examinations at the end of the session, and received the degree.

At the beginning of the regular session of 1882, there were sixty-three matriculants. The Senior class numbered twenty-one; the Junior, fifteen; the Freshman, twenty-seven. The course of study comprises a series of lectures, delivered three days each week at the College building, and a series of clinics on the alternate days at the City and County Hospital.

The didactic chairs are Theory and Practice of Surgery, Theory and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Anatomy, Physiology and Microscopy, Therapeutics, Materia Medica and Medical Chemistry, Mental Diseases and Medical Jurisprudence, and Hygiene.

The clinical chairs are Clinical and Operative Surgery, Clinical Medicine and Pathology, Ophthalmology and Otology, and Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Principles and Practice of Surgery; a course of sixty lectures is delivered in this department. A portion of the course is devoted to operations upon the cadaver, the students being drilled in the handling of surgical instruments and dressings.

Theory and Practice of Medicine; the lectures in this branch also number sixty, and present a systematic history of disease and the means which experience has pointed out as curative.

Obstetrics and Gynecology; this chair includes both a didactic and a clinical course of lectures; the former being delivered at the College, by the Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the latter at the City and County Hospital, by the Lecturer on Obstetrics and Gynecology. The didactic course is illustrated by plates, specimens, and manikins. A portion of the course is devoted to demonstrations of the various obstetrical operations upon the cadaver.

Physiology and Microscopy; sixty lectures are delivered in this branch, and when necessary they are illustrated by vivisections and the practical use of the microscope.

Therapeutics; this chair has been vacant a portion of the present session, and the subjects comprised in the course have been taught by


32
the Professors of Principles and Practice of Medicine and Materia Medica and Medical Chemistry.

Materia Medica and Medical Chemistry; in this course of forty lectures the history, method of preparation, and the action of the various substances comprising the materia medica, are described, and the combination of drugs is illustrated by pharmaceutical and chemical experiments.

Anatomy; the lectures on Anatomy number sixty, and are illustrated by dissections on the cadaver, and by dry and wax preparations of the various regions of the body. The course includes a series of dissections of every region of the cadaver by each student of the Freshman and Junior classes.

Medical Jurisprudence and Mental Diseases; a course of twenty lectures upon these subjects is given, in which the various phases of mental derangement, and the legal questions involved in this class of cases, are fully elucidated.

Hygiene; the course in this branch consists of twenty lectures on the principles of modern sanitary science, and the practical methods of reducing the evil effects of unsanitary conditions.

Clinical and Operative Surgery; the course in this branch is attended by the Senior students, who are required, each in turn, to take charge of cases, make the diagnosis, prognosis, and give an outline of the proper course of treatment. Bandages, dressings, and splints, are applied by them. All of the operations performed in the hospital are witnessed by the students in the operating room, and they here have an opportunity to assist directly in the operations.

Clinical Medicine and Pathology; the practice of medicine is exhibited to the Senior students by a series of sixty clinics, in which the students come directly in contact with the sick at the bedside, and examine and prescribe for them.

Ophthalmology and Otology; forty clinics are held upon diseases of the eye and ear during the session. The system of instruction is the same as that pursued in the surgical and medical clinics.

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology; this clinic is held twenty times during the course, and gives the senior students a practical familiarity with the management of labor cases. Each student has one or more cases which he conducts throughout by himself. In the gynecological clinic the students witness such operations as are performed in the hospital for the cure of surgical diseases of the female sexual organs.

Respectfully,
ROBERT A. McLEAN, Dean.

[Report of Dean Emlen Painter]

SAN FRANCISCO, October 2, 1882.

W. T. Reid, President of the University of California:

DEAR SIR: As Dean of the Faculty of the College of Pharmacy, I herewith submit to you a statement or report of the transactions and condition of this department of the University, up to the close of the college year, ending with the month of September, 1882.

To meet the wishes and convenience of the Regents of the University, the course in the College of Pharmacy, at your suggestion,


33
was commenced a month earlier than formerly, in order that the names of the successful candidates for the Degree in Pharmacy might be presented to the Regents in time to be acted upon at the same time as the candidates for the Degrees in Medicine and Dentistry. The course of instruction in this department consists in lectures upon the several subjects--Chemistry, Materia Medica, Botany, and Pharmacy, with experiments and other illustrations. The course began the first Tuesday in April. before a larger class than any previous year, there being sixty-two matriculants in the class, thirty-five of whom were attending their first course; the remaining number had already attended one or more courses or parts of courses in this college. The lectures on Chemistry, Materia Medica, and Pharmacy were held in rotation on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week during the whole of the lecture season. Lectures were given on two of these subjects each evening, making four lectures a week in the three branches for twenty-six weeks. The lectures on Botany were given on Mondays of each week during the term, and botanical excursions were made every two weeks to different parts of the country, as previously arranged by the Professor of Botany, who always accompanied the students.

During the whole course, the lectures upon each subject were well attended, and commendable attention paid by the students, a larger percentage of whom presented themselves for the “Junior examination” than any previous year; thirty out of the thirty-five first course students came up for the examination.

The College of Pharmacy has for several years past, by permission of the Trustees of the Academy of Sciences, made use of their hall, corner of Dupont and California Streets, for lecture purposes, which, whilst being suitable in some respects, is in others totally inadequate to meet the present needs of this college. There is no suitable place to preserve and keep in order the library and the cabinet of specimens and apparatus used at the lectures; and it is only with the greatest difficulty on the part of the Professors that satisfactory illustrations can be made in the present quarters. The Trustees of the College of Pharmacy, anticipating that a change would soon have to be made, and feeling that the urgent needs of the present required that a permanent site should be at once secured, purchased, with the fund the college had accumulated during the past ten years, an available lot for a college building, and hope before the next session opens to procure sufficient funds and erect a suitable building thereon.

Although to be eligible to the Degree in Pharmacy, the candidate must give evidence of having had four years practical experience in the art, that he may better understand the application of his scientific training, yet a laboratory course of instruction in the college is a much needed branch, in fact, necessary to maintain that high standard amongst the graduates aimed at by the Trustees. They have not yet, however, been able to establish this course, not having the needed apparatus nor a suitable place in which to give the instruction. When the new building is erected every effort will be made to have laboratory instruction follow soon after, possibly by the time of commencing the next session.

Yours, very respectfully,
EMLEN PAINTER,Dean California College Pharmacy.

[Report of Dean S. W. Dennis]

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DENTAL DEPARTMENT.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 31, 1882.

September 7th, 1881, the College of Dentistry was instituted by the Board of Regents of the University of California, consisting of the following chairs:

  • A. F. MCLAIN, M. D., D. D. S., Professor of Dental Pathology and Therapeutics.
  • S. W. DENNIS, M. D., D. D. S., Professor of the Principles and Practice of Operative Dentistry and Dental Histology.
  • C. L. GODDARD, A. M., D. D. S., Professor of Mechanical Dentistry.
  • M. W. FISH, M. D., Professor of Physiology.
  • A. W. PERRY, M. D., Professor of Chemistry (resigned.)
  • WILLIAM LEWITT, M. D., Professor of Anatomy.
  • W. E. TAYLOR, M. D., Professor of the Principles and Practice of Surgery.

The Dental Faculty, appointed by the Board of Regents, held a meeting September 24, 1881, President Reid presiding, adopted by-laws, and elected the following officers, who were also to constitute the Executive Committee, namely: Dr. S. W. Dennis, Dean; Dr. C. L. Goddard, Secretary; Dr. A. F. McLain, Treasurer.

At a subsequent meeting, the following appointments were made by the Faculty as sub-Instructors: Morris J. Sullivan, D. D. S., Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry; J. W. Edwards, Demonstrator of Mechanical Dentistry; W. B. Lewitt, M. D., Demonstrator of Anatomy; E. O. Cochrane, Demonstrator of Continuous Gum Work.

The following were appointed Chemical Instructors: I. W. Lundborg; H. E. Knox, D. D. S.; R. E. Cole, D. D. S.; R. Cutlar, D. D. S.; G. O. Lawrence, D. M. D.; H. J. Plomteaux; H. C. Davis, L. D. S.; R. W. Henderson; J. L. Asoy, M. D.; J. H. Hatch, D. D. S.; L. L. Dunbar, D. D. S.; John Rabe, D. D. S.

Upon the resignation of A. W. Perry, M. D., as the Professor of Chemistry, A. L. Lengfeld, M. D., was appointed by the Board of Regents Professor of Materia Medica and Medical Chemistry.

The preliminary term commenced the first Tuesday in April, 1882, and continued four weeks.

The regular term commenced June 5, 1882, and continued until August thirty-first, excepting a vacation of two weeks in August. During that time over three hundred lectures were delivered.

The course of instruction consists of lectures by the various Professors, upon Operative Dentistry and Dental Histology, Dental Pathology and Therapeutics, Mechanical Dentistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, and Chemistry.

Dissections were carried on by the students the same as in the Medical Department, and under the same Demonstrators.

The Dental Dispensary, or operating room, has been open two hours a day--Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays--at which time the students have operated under the supervision of the Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry, and received instruction in treating, filling, and extracting teeth for indigent patients, who presented themselves in abundant numbers. The Dental Laboratory was also opened two hours a day, upon the same days before mentioned, under the direction of the Demonstrator of Mechanical Dentistry.

The students have attended medical and surgical clinics at the City and County Hospital on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. Every Saturday afternoon has been set apart for special clinical instructions, held by the members of the Clinical Board.


35

The Demonstrator of Continuous Gum Work has performed his duties well in this important branch of the mechanical art.

The number of matriculates was thirty-one.

The Senior class is as follows: Charles W. Hibbard, Thomas W. Hall, Franklin F. Lord, M. D.; Thomas Morffew, H. J. Plomteaux, Gustave W. Sichel, M. D.; William H. Stanley, August Van Crombrugghe.

The Junior students are as follows: A. E. Blake, J. W. Decker, F. A. Bliss, M. F. Gabbs, J. N. Blood, W. H. Hogsbead, Charles Boxton, H. J. Lightbody, Maria A. Burch, W. E. Price, A. A. Chisholm, W. F. Twist, G. W. Cool.

The remaining matriculates will enter the next class.

The number of students has far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. Many more have signified their intention of attending at the next term or some subsequent term.

As this is the only Dental College on this coast, there is every reason to expect large classes in the future, and the success of the department seems fully assured.

Yours, very respectfully,
S. W. DENNIS, Dean.
