Report of the President of the University
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
BERKELEY, December 21, 1918.
To His Excellency William Dennison Stephens, Governor of the State of California.
One Out of Each Three Volunteers
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report on the condition of the University. The present attendance of students on classes in the University, in round numbers, is fifty-eight hundred, of whom about fifty-two hundred are undergraduates and the remaining six hundred graduate students. During the academic year 1917-18 a marked decrease in enrollment was noted, the number of withdrawals of members of the male undergraduate and graduate student bodies steadily increasing month by month, until in May, 1918, there was a total enrollment of approximately forty-six hundred students. Nearly one thousand of the men students enlisted in various branches of the service or answered the Government's call under the Selective Service regulations. During the year following the declaration of war by the United States one out of each three men registered in the University had volunteered his services. After the close of the University year in May, 1918, a much larger proportion offered themselves, almost the entire number of men in the graduating class enlisting immediately. It is gratifying to note that before the signing of the armistice more than thirty-five hundred sons of the University had cast their lot with the colors, according to figures compiled in the Military Bureau, a branch of the Alumni Association of the University. It is probable that several hundred alumni and former students who have joined the military forces of the United States have not been listed because of the lack of data concerning such enlistments. To date more than eighty have given their lives to the cause for which this nation entered the war.
Students' Army Training Corps Plan Announced
The downward trend of the registration was completely reversed, however, when, in July, 1918, the War Department, through its Committee on Education and Special Training, announced its plan for the formation of units of the Students' Army Training Corps at universities and colleges throughout the nation. Interest among graduates of the high schools of the state, eligible for University enrollment, proved to be keen, and an unexpectedly large number of applications for admission was filed. Before the plan could be instituted and previous to the formation of the unit at the University, Congress extended the ages of those liable for military service to include boys from eighteen to twenty-one years of age. Simultaneously it was announced that the Students' Army Training Corps plans would not be abandoned, but that men qualified to attend universities and colleges could, upon their own election and after enrollment in the university of their choice, apply for induction into the Army or Navy through their local draft boards, with the understanding that they then should be assigned to military or naval units of the Students' Army Training Corps located at their own universities. Enrollment Prospects Brighten. The change in statuts of the enlisted members of the Students' Army Training Corps increased the interest of men of college age and qualifications and it was thought for a time that the male undergraduate enrollment in the University would far exceed any figure theretofore reached. Total of 1900 Men Students in Uniform. By adhering strictly to its regularly maintained high standards of admission, however, the number admitted was considerably restricted and the total of nineteen hundred finally enrolled in the Students' Army Training Corps and its naval unit, with the addition of the non-military contingent (composed mainly of men ineligible to enlist by reason of age, physical disqualification or alien citizenship), formed a grand total of about twenty-eight hundred men students.
5500 Given Military Instruction
The total number of different men receiving military instruction at the University since the opening of the academic year 1917-18 included, in round numbers: (1) three thousand graduated from the School of Military Aeronautics; (2) two hundred
University enrollment during the last two years has, of course, suffered because of the heavy drain made on the male student body by the call to service. The percentage of male students dropped from 56.02 in 1916-17 to 45.09 in 1917-18, a loss of 11 per cent. In the year 1917-18 the University enrollment reached its lowest mark in May, 1918, at which time, after subtracting leaves of absence and emergency withdrawals, there remained a total of 4658 students classified as follows: Under-graduate students, 3654; graduate students, 618; professional colleges, 386.
More Than 6000 for Year 1917-1918
The total enrollment in the colleges at Berkeley, of both men and women, for the latter year was only 6013, as compared with 6695 for the year 1916-17. With the establishment in October, 1918, of the Students' Army Training Corps and the Naval Unit, as integral parts of the University war work plan, undergraduate male enrollment took a marked spurt forward. On November 1, 1918, there were registered in the University 5189 undergraduate students and 558 graduate students, making a total of 5747. As compared with the total of 2209 undergraduate male students registered in the colleges at Berkeley, on November 1, 1917, the figures for the corresponding date in 1918 showed a gain of 397. This more than half offset the loss of 763 experienced in 1917 as compared with 1916, the year preceding our entrance into the war.
Number of Candidates Decreases
The drop in the number of degrees conferred upon men was greatly accelerated by our entrance into the war. The number of higher degrees, exclusive of professional degrees, granted male candidates fell from 127 in 1917 to 76 in 1918. Bachelor's degrees conferred upon men fell from 478 in 1917 to 308 in 1918. The situation is unique in that not only the percentage but the actual increase in number of degrees granted women in the latter year took a greater leap forward than in any of several preceding years.
Fewer Graduate Students
The number of graduate students pursuing courses at Berkeley, steadily increasing in a period of ten years, was also affected by the war. Only 907 graduate students registered in the year 1917-18 as compared with 1092 in 1916-17. A corresponding decrease was noted in the various professional colleges of the University located in San Francisco. The general “slump” in enrollment marked generally in the University departments was not, however, found in the College of Medicine, where particular training for real service of a national interest drew a greater number of students than ever before.
The general trend of university development during the war period was one of rapid adjustment to existing conditions. It is expected that a return to a peace basis will be equally swift and compelling, and that the University's large student body will soon reach its normal rate of increase.
Comptroller's Financial Report
Beginning on page 302 of this report will be found a complete financial report of the University for the academic year 1917-18. According to the balance sheet submitted by the Comptroller, the University possesses assets in the amount of $20,725,193.94. The principal item, of course, is the surplus invested in “fixed assets,” amounting to $14,321,287.92, representing the book value of the lands, buildings and equipment of the University. An increase of $394,215.81 over the amount shown in the report for the year ending June 30, 1917, is to be noted in the amount held as “investments.”
Income and Expenditures
The income of the University of California is received from the following sources: The United States Government, the State
The income from investments for the year 1917-18 was slightly larger than for the year 1916-17, due primarily to a complete investment of the funds of the University, the interest rate remaining practically the same.
Endowment Funds Increase
The endowment funds of the University increased to $5,490,430.85 during the year. The most notable additions were the Isaias W. Hellman Scholarship Fund and the Herbert Kraft Scholarship Fund of $50,000 each, and the Horace Davis Library Fund of $10,000. The net increase for the year was reduced to $34,015.53, due to the fact that the Doe Library Fund which formerly appeared under endowments was expended on the completion of the University Library and now appears among the assets of the University. Gifts were received during the year for current use amounting to $75,284.75.
Expenditures for education and research total $2,195,432.83, an increase of $196,936.26 over the year 1916-17. Disbursements for scholarships, prizes and loans amounted during the year to $39,120.89, an insufficient amount to meet the needs of the student body.
War Service Record Attached as Supplement
The part that the University has played in the war is well evidenced by the War Service Record of the University, a copy of which, in supplement form, is attached hereto. The University has devoted itself without stint to Liberty Loan sales and purchases, Red Cross subscriptions, and war work campaigns. The faculty and students have been ready and eager to participate. A glance through the supplement to this report will convincingly testify
113 Faculty Members Answer Call to Arms
The University's contribution to the Government in men from its teaching staff has been both notable and great in number. A total of 113 responded to the call for experts in one field or another closely related to the mighty machinery of war. A detailed list of members of the faculty in war service will be found on page 5 of the supplement to this report, following which will be found statements describing in particular the various fields of war endeavor in which the University's faculty members have been laboring. Of especial interest perhaps are the following examples of this form of the University's response to the call of the nation:
Many Experts Commissioned. A. H. Allen, former Manager of the University Press, Major, Quartermaster's Corps, has served as Acting Supply Officer of the Students' Army Training Corps at the University, and as Commanding Officer of the School of Vocational Training, National Army Training Detachment, also located at the University; Dinsmore Alter, Instructor in Astronomy, has been commissioned Major in the Coast Artillery Corps; Dr. David P. Barrows, Professor of Political Science and former Dean of the Faculties, holds the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army and has been stationed in the Philippines and in Siberia; Miss Maude Cleveland, Director of the Women's Gymnasium and Assistant Professor of Physical Education for Women, since the early days of the war has been with the Red Cross in France; Dr. C. L. Cory, Professor of Mechanics and Dean of the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, has served as consulting power engineer for the huge government explosives plant located at Nitro, Virginia; Dr. R. T. Crawford, Associate Professor of Practical Astronomy, has been commissioned in the Army Balloon Service and Stationed at Fort Omaha, Nebraska, holding the rank of Major; Stuart Daggett, Professor of Railway Economics on the Flood Foundation, has been for six months in Washington as Assistant to the Chief of the Division of Planning and Statistics of the War Industries Board; A. J. Eddy, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, holds the rank of Major in the Coast Artillery; G. R. Fowler, Teaching
Dr. Williams To Advise at Peace Table
Dr. E. T. Williams, Agassiz Professor of Oriental Languages and Literature, has been sent to Paris as technical adviser to the American delegation at the peace table. Dr. Williams was called to his professorship in the University from the Department of State, where he was Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs. His intimate knowledge and understanding of conditions in the Orient make his services at the Versailles peace conference of great value.
Dean Probert to Investigate European Mines
Frank H. Probert, Professor of Mining and Dean of the College of Mining, has spent the last few months in Washington in consultation with government engineers of the United States Bureau of Mines. The conferences thus held, it is expected,
Dean Hunt in Canada and Europe
A careful study of agriculture and agricultural labor conditions in Canada was made by Dean Thomas Forsyth Hunt of the College of Agriculture during the fall of 1917. Dean Hunt secured information which has proved of great value in meeting the wartime agricultural problems of the state of California. During the fall of 1918 Dean Hunt was called to Washington by the United States Department of Agriculture, later departing for England and France on an agricultural mission. For two months the members of this mission studied the effect of the war on the agricultural industry in the belligerent countries, many suggestions of value for rehabilitation and reconstruction being made by the Americans.
Committee of Deans Aids in War Endeavor
To meet the exigencies of the war situation, and to relieve the President of some of the more exacting of his duties within the University, there was established with the beginning of the fiscal year 1918-19 an Advisory Committee of Deans. This committee, composed of the Dean of the Faculties, Professor Charles Mills Gayley, the Dean of the Graduate Division, Professor William Carey Jones, and the Dean of the College of Letters and Science, Professor H. Morse Stephens, has consulted with the President and in an appreciable measure left him free to carry out larger duties and responsibilities brought about by the war.
“Go-to-College” Campaign for S. A. T. C.
On May 8, 1918, the Secretary of War announced the intention of providing military instruction in colleges and universities throughout the country to all students over eighteen years of age. The plan had a two-fold purpose. The aim was to develop as a military asset the great body of college men throughout the
War Department Authorizes S. A. T. C.
This branch of the army was created by order of the President under the authority conferred upon him by the Selective Service Act of May 18, 1917. Preliminary outlines of the plan were received from the Committee on Education and Special Training on August 3, 1918. The University of California immediately offered to establish a corps, and authorization for such was received on August 14, 1918. As stated in the Special Regulations governing the establishment of Students' Army Training Corps, the objects were to be the following:
Objects of Plan Set Forth by Committee
- To qualify, by systematic and standard methods of training, students at higher civil educational institutions for more effective service in the armed forces of the United States, to permit qualified students to complete their education in numbers sufficient to meet the special and technical needs of the service, and to provide a reservoir from which candidates for officers' training camps may be drawn.
* * * * * * * * * * *
- To give young men the moral and intellectual advantages of rigorous military discipline, and to develop in them robust health, hardihood and aggressive physical courage, thus enhancing the value of their entire academic training and their appreciation of the opportunities it affords.
- To attain these results by the immediate enlistment in the Army of the United States of all physically fit male students above the age of eighteen who are not registrants under the Selective Service Regulations, and to give such students military training in units of the Students' Army Training Corps at higher civil educational institutions until such time as they are called to service with the colors.
Military-Naval Administrative Board Named
The plan of the War Department Committee contemplated the simultaneous initiation of these corps all over the United States on October 1. As the University of California had postponed its opening date from the middle of August to September 27, this plan fitted in very well with our calendar. It being now apparent that the primary interests of the University would for the coming year be concerned with the training of men for military service, and there being a number of independent courses already in operation, namely, the School of Military Aeronautics, Vocational Training detachments, Naval Preparation Courses, and still others under consideration, a Military and Naval Administrative Board was appointed to co-ordinate the activities of the various military and naval schools on the campus. The President appointed this board to represent him in matters connected with the administration of such affairs and to establish and maintain harmony between the academic and military authorities. The board co-operates with the Advisory Committee of Deans of the University and makes its recommendations directly to the President. The personnel of the board consists of: Dr. T. M. Putnam, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Dean of the Lower Division, Chairman; James Sutton, Recorder of the Faculties; Dr. Ivan M. Linforth, Associate Professor of Greek; Robert G. Sproul, Assistant Comptroller of the University, and Morse A. Cartwright, Assistant to the President.
Regional Meeting Held at Presidio
In order to acquaint the various institutions at which units of the Students' Army Training Corps were to be established with the details of the plan, and to gain further information as to local and individual difficulties concerned with such a comprehensive scheme, regional meetings were planned throughout the United States by the Committee on Education and Special Training. Meetings were held at the Presidio of San Francisco on August 23 and 24 for representatives of the western states.
Draft Age Lowered; Plan Changes
About this time an act of Congress was passed lowering the draft age. In order not to appear to be creating a privileged class out of college students it became necessary to change the
Temporary Contract for Unit Signed
On September 8, 1918, the University signed a temporary contract with the War Department agreeing to provide housing, subsistence, and instruction for all men inducted into the unit, not to exceed thirty-five hundred, of whom five hundred were to be in the Naval Unit, which, it was understood at that time, would be part of the Students' Army Training Corps. The War Department agreed to pay one dollar per man per day for housing and subsistence and a certain amount, not at that time definitely determined, for instruction. Colleges that charged tuition fees were to be allowed to collect an equal amount, but no definite provisions were made for institutions, such as the University of California, which have no tuition fees. It was understood, however, that such institutions were to be allowed to charge an amount equal to the increased cost of instruction due to the establishment of the unit.
Barracks Site Is Selected
Under the foregoing contract colleges were obliged to provide housing and subsistence as near October 1 as possible. The University of California, therefore, immediately began the consideration of finding adequate housing accommodations for the
The site selected for the barracks was in the southwest corner of the campus, along Allston way, near the Center street entrance.
Regents Advance $200,000
On Monday, September 9, a consultation was held with Mr. Arthur Brown, Jr., the architect for the barracks, and a rough building plan was presented to the Regents at the meeting of September 10, 1918. This plan was approved at an estimated cost of from $175,000 to $200,000, depending on the number of barracks to be erected. Mr. E. A. Hugill, Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, started clearing the site on September 11 and construction commenced on September 13. It was decided at this time that an endeavor should be made to have eight barracks ready by October 1 and a mess hall completed as soon thereafter as possible. The plans, of course, were not completed at this date, and the architect, the Comptroller's Office and the contractors co-operated in drawing them simultaneously with the prosecution of building operations.
Barracks are Ready on October 1
Despite considerable rainy weather, three barracks were completed
Vocational Section of S. A. T. C.
No men enrolled in the vocational section of the Students' Army Training Corps were taken except as provided for in contracts already in operation. One of these provided for a school for the training of radio electricians. The requirements for admission were two years of high school training. Arrangements were made to receive one hundred men on October 15, one hundred on November 15, and one hundred on December 15, with provision for further increase to a maximum of four hundred and fifty if the need for men with this kind of training continued. The first contingent was received, but the signing of the armistice made unnecessary the training of more men.
An offer of the facilities at the Farm School at Davis for the training of truck and tractor mechanics was made and was still under consideration on November 11.
Influenza Epidemic Interferes
Early in October the influenza epidemic started and seriously interfered with the work of the entire University. Over five hundred members of the Students' Army Training Corps, including the Naval Unit, were sick at one time. Four barracks and a fraternity house were converted into hospital wards, necessitating the housing of one company in Harmon Gymnasium and one in tents. The four
Military and Academic Conflict
While due weight must be given to the interference of the epidemic, yet there has been ample opportunity to judge of the work of the Students' Army Training Corps, and of its merits and defects wholly apart from this unfortunate circumstance. The decision quite generally reached by the faculty, and I think also by the officers, is that the plan is not the success which had been hoped. The two ingredients of military and academic were not mixed in workable proportions. Though it was intended that the academic should be given the majority of time and attention, the military by its greater definiteness and apparent importance naturally went to the front. Special details like guard duty interrupted attendance on lectures. This discouraged the student, who, finding it difficult to “make up,” often discontinued class attendance. The officers, accustomed to the more definite task assignments of the military academy, underestimated the loss suffered by a student in absence from a lecture. Life in the barracks naturally set the military in predominance over the academic. Supervised study in a study hall was more adapted to text-book work than to the freer methods of university instruction. The academic student requires, furthermore, on different days much more time for one study than another. He also requires on certain days time for uninterrupted thought on a single subject. The military method would rather incline toward an even distribution of time among the different subjects on different days.
Favor Camp in Summer for R. O. T. C.
Our experience of the S. A. T. C., fragmentary as it is, would therefore seem to suggest a return to the general type of the R. O. T. C. Training in the life of barracks and camp and in the continuous bearing of military duty and the wearing of uniform may best be obtained through summer encampments. Two of these may properly be required for a four years' course, one for six, and another for three weeks. During these encampment periods the student cadet should draw pay.
School of Vocational Training
On account of the demands made upon the University by the School of Military Aeronautics and on account of lack of definite information concerning the needs of the army, it was not until May or June of 1918 that arrangements were made for the work of a National Army Training Detachment at the University in Berkeley. A contract for the training of two detachments of one hundred men each, for eight weeks was entered into, the first detachment to report on July 1. This work was placed under the direction of Professor F. S. Foote, Jr., and was carried on in University laboratories, vacant for the most part on account of the summer recess of the University. Toward the end of August the direction of this training, which was known in the University as the School of Vocational Training, was taken over by Dr. B. M. Woods as Institutional Director. At about this time it was also decided to undertake additional training by instituting a School for Radio Electricians to prepare men for the Signal Corps. The first detachment of this school was to report on October 14.
Radio School Established October 14
The plan of organization after the middle of August was as follows: (1) A director appointed by the University to supervise the School of Military Aeronautics, the School of Vocational Training and the Signal Corps School for Radio Electricians; (2) an assistant director for each of these schools. These men bore titles appropriate to the several schools with which they were connected. This arrangement was made because of the similarity of the organizations and of the desire of the University to economize in the matter of office staff, use of instructional facilities, and employment of instructors. Due to the fact that only one contingent for the School of Radio Electricians was received, the organization was perhaps more elaborate than was necessary. Had the school continued, however, the organization would have justified itself and would have proved an economy.
At the time of opening the School for Radio Electricians competent instructors were scarce. However, the men who were obtained for the work were of high grade and showed interest and resourcefulness in the instruction. The results obtained were
Aeronautics Graduates 3000 Flying Cadets
A full account of the work of the School of Military Aeronautics is given in the supplement to this report. Now that the school is approaching its close it seems well to review briefly some figures which were not available for publication during hostilities. On November 30, 1918, the University had expended approximately $290,000 in the operation of this school; almost 3000 cadets had completed the course and had received graduation certificates. In the preceding July, the staff included approximately 100 instructors and the monthly budget of the school exceeded $25,000. The necessary construction and alteration of temporary buildings have amounted to $90,000. Army officers on duty, including 12 or 15 assigned as instructors, have at times numbered more than 30. The number of cadets in attendance reached a maximum of 1000 in July. From present indications it appears that the school will have completed its work by the middle of February, 1919, and that it will then go out of existence.
Spanish Influenza Epidemic
The epidemic of influenza which had been prevalent in the East for some time, and which was not wholly unexpected here, reached the University, beginning with two cases on the 6th of October, 1918. On the 8th there were three undoubted cases, and on the 9th seventeen. From this time on the cases increased in number until on the 18th of October the disease reached its maximum with seventy-four new cases admitted to the hospital. It then began to decline, and early in November it ceased to be a serious factor in medical affairs at the University.
While not unexpected, the severity of the outbreak and the numbers involved made it very difficult to cope with the situation at first. The infirmary became inadequate, and a fraternity house near the campus was quickly transformed into a hospital. It took but forty-eight hours to fill the fraternity house, and a barracks was taken over immediately. In succession three barracks were taken, the last being used only for convalescents, as by that time the number of cases began to diminish.
Aid Given by Mercy Organizations
The National Defenders' Club of Berkeley was of genuine aid in caring for convalescents. Aside from the numbers involved, the situation soon was well in hand. Dr. Robert T. Legge, University Physician and Professor of Hygiene, had been commissioned as Captain in the Medical Corps of the army, and was attached to the School of Military Aeronautics as Surgeon. In the earlier stages of the epidemic hospitals and hospital messes were established and the organization necessary to cope with the situation was devised, all under his direction. He contracted the disease himself, however, and it then became necessary to turn to the Western Department of the Army for the military medical authority needed to continue and perfect the hospital organization. As a consequence of this request, Major William H. Brooks, M.C., U. S. A., was detailed to the University. He was placed in charge of health conditions in the University community. To his wise decisions and untiring energy is due, in large part, the success which greeted the efforts of the University in meeting the dangerous situation at that time developing. Before the epidemic had been entirely eradicated Major Brooks was ordered elsewhere, being replaced by Major H. S. Kiersted, M.C., U. S. A., who continued the policies of his predecessor. There were nine contract surgeons on the staff, and they gave freely of their time and ability, and with success.
Early in the epidemic, the Berkeley Chapter of the American Red Cross rendered most valuable aid in furnishing supplies and a corps of nurses' aides. This organization continued its services until the end. Other patriotic organizations in Berkeley also contributed supplies and gave freely of their membership to the corps of nurses.
1400 Influenza Cases in University
The military medical detachment had not been organized at the time of the outbreak, and the records are therefore imperfect and unreliable. It may be said, however, that between six hundred and seven hundred men were ill, most of them recovering in a few days. There was probably an equal or slightly larger number affected in the non-military student body, a majority of whom received medical attention from the University physicians.
Pneumonia made its appearance about the second week of the epidemic and caused great anxiety. There were ten deaths in the Students' Army Training Corps out of about seventy-five cases. There was an equal number of deaths in the non-military student body and one in the faculty. The military pneumonia patients were early segregated in a ward in one of the barracks, and Dr. Walter E. Bates was given exclusive charge of that ward. He was indefatigable and his efforts did much to keep down the mortality, for the disease was very virulent.
The University of Cailfornia Auxiliary of the Berkeley Chapter of the American Red Cross, through its Supplies Department, manufactured 23,991 gauze masks during the influenza epidemic. There were 648 women students of the University enrolled in this department.
Women Students Volunteer
Excellent service was rendered during the influenza epidemic by the women students of the University working under the direction of Miss Lucy Stebbins, the University Dean of Women, and Dr. Lillian Moore of the Department of Physiology, Volunteer Supervisor of the Student Workers. The Student Volunteer Home Service Committee of the Women Students between October 22 and December 18 made 1799 visits of investigation in aiding those affected by the influenza epidemic. A total of 351 influenza patients among the women students received treatment or were visited by members of the committee. Two hundred and ten visits were made to families outside of the University suffering from influenza, for which 78 helpers and nurses' aids were employed. Three hundred and twenty volunteer workers served under the committee; 125 nurses' aids and helpers were employed as nurses at the Berkeley Municipal Hospital in four to eight hour shifts, from one to three times a week; and 30 served at the State School for the Deaf and Blind. In most cases the helpers, some of whom were appointed primarily to make visits of investigation, performed any needed work in the sick room or home, waiting on the patients, cooking, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, etc. Nurses' aids were volunteer students trained in the diagnosis and treatment of influenza under the supervision of Dr. Ruby L. Cunningham of the Infirmary staff.
Everyone who was connected with the admirable organization and management of all this volunteer women's work merits the recognition and thanks of Army and community; and the young women who labored under their direction must be counted to have served in the cause as faithfully as any.
Military Bureau Established
The Military Bureau of the University was established as a result of a resolution passed by the Regents of the University before the formal declaration of war, which placed the resources of the University of California at the disposal of the national government in the event of war. The Military Bureau soon afterward came into existence, as one means of carrying out this action, with Dr. L. J. Richardson, Associate Professor of Latin, as Director, and Homer Havermale, Alumni Secretary, as Manager. Its first business, under date of April 12, 1917, who to ask all men of the University body--faculty, alumni, and undergraduates--to fill out a personnel index card. The request provided for a statement of technical or professional training and experience which might be utilized in the war. The responses numbered 3070, and nearly all offered services in one form or another.
Ambulance Unit Recruited
At the request of the government, working through the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau at Washington, D. C., the Military Bureau on May 9, 1917, commenced to recruit an ambulance unit of thirty-six men. The University had at that time sent very few men to the front and it was therefore possible to secure men qualified to render service of the highest sort. As a rule, those sent had had full University training, including two or more years of military drill; many of them spoke French; quite a number had taken the University course in First Aid. They were all experienced automobile drivers. When these men reached Allentown, Pennsylvania, where such groups were brought together for inspection, the examining medical and military officers gave them a high rating and arranged to have them sent at once to France. Consequently they were transported across the Atlantic in August, 1917, and were at once attached to the French Army. The fact that the French Army has kept these men in constant
The field of work of the Bureau soon was enlarged from the University to the state and to the Pacific Coast. Branch bureaus have been established over the state and in Honolulu and Alaska; and by November 1, 1918, there were twenty-four active branch offices whose managers had been chosen from the ranks of the alumni of the University.
2000 Persons Per Month Are Given Advice
Since its establishment, the Military Bureau has developed three separate functions: it serves as an information office, a personnel office, and as a liaison office between the University and various military departments and bodies. An average of 2000 persons per month has sought the Military Bureau for information and advice. An equal number of letters requesting information has been answered by this office each month. Branch bureaus have interviewed an average of ten people daily. Many people have sought information regarding draft regulations, army and navy orders, military procedure and methods.
Official Recognition Given Bureau
As a personnel office the Military Bureau has occupied a distinctive place in the general military establishment. For many months the office was connected with the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau, a civilian body operating with the approval of the War Department. The absorption of the Intercollegiate Bureau by the Adjutant-General's office brought a new standing to the Military Bureau, which is now directely connected with that office in Washington. From the Adjutant-General's office requisitions for skilled men come to the Military Bureau. These calls come also from various department chiefs who look to universities for their personnel. Since the organization of the office more than 400 calls have been received, many of them being requests for specialists. These calls are made known to the public and to the alumni of the University through the newspapers, the University publications and the Alumni Fortnightly. Applicants have been examined
1400 Persons Found Places in Service
The Military Bureau has also helped men and women to secure places in the national service. Persons who decided to offer their services to the Army, Navy or other branches of the national government have sought the Military Bureau for information and direction. The office in this phase of its work has been somewhat like an employment agency. Its files have contained the names of many persons who have expressed themselves as willing or anxious to serve their country during the period of the war. Each of these candidates filled out a prescribed questionnaire setting forth his training as well as his professional or business experience. The office then endeavored to inspect all government calls with reference to applications and, wherever consistent with the country's interests, to help candidates to find places in the service. The office has assisted in this way more than fourteen hundred persons, a large percentage of whom have secured positions.
Wide Variety of Calls Handled
As a liaison office the Military Bureau has served as a contact point between the University and military offices and boards. It has served as headquarters for committee organizations aiding the military establishment; also as headquarters for officers who have desired to make use of University facilities. It has placed the volunteer services of faculty members at the disposal of military departments. The Bureau aided the Adjutant-General of California in organizing committees to instruct registrants in matters of hygiene and morale. Through the coöperation of the Summer Session the Military Bureau registered and assigned more than two hundred volunteer registrars for the September 12th draft.
Since the signing of the armistice on November 11 and the consequent closure of inductions, the Military Bureau has devoted its time to the placing of reconstruction workers, nurses' aids and hospital assistants. When the notice was received which closed inductions, there was an urgent call on file for candidates for the Officers' Training Camps, Coast Artillery Corps, at Fort

Non-Military Emergency Courses
The experience of the Summer Session of 1918 made it apparent that there were many lines of non-military service for which intensive training covering a period of from twelve to sixteen weeks might be organized at the University. In August a committee on non-military
Women Trained for War
The following groups of courses were immediately arranged: (1) Pre-nursing courses, aimed at relieving training schools for nurses of the theoretical work and to prepare young women to complete the course in any army or civilian training school in two years instead of three; (2) courses for Reconstruction Aides in Physio-therapy, who will assist in military hospitals in the rehabilitation of wounded men; (3) courses for Reconstruction Aides in Occupational therapy, who will assist in military hospitals in the first stages of the reeducaton of wounded men; (4) courses for Teachers and Demonstrators in Food Conservation. The first three groups conformed to the advice, suggestions and requirements of the Office of the Surgeon General. The fourth group was planned in harmony with the needs and suggestions of the Food Administration. All four groups were offered for the fall term. Fifty-nine women who met the requirements as to age, physique, previous training and personality were enrolled.
Enrollment Demonstrates Interest
In addition to these groups for specially qualified women the committee felt that certain single courses which elucidated specific war time problems or met a definite war need, should be offered for regular undergraduate students. A course in the Economics of Immigration with emphasis on the problems of Americanization was approved. One hundred and sixteen students enrolled in this course. A course in the Problems of Food Conservation as outlined by the Federal Food Administration was offered. Three hundred and sixty students enrolled, seventy of whom also undertook laboratory work in food conservation. The Department of Hygiene, at the request of the committee, agreed to give First Aid and Home Care of the Sick, a course aimed to
Work to be Carried Forward
With the signing of the armistice, the committee reconsidered the question of repeating the prenursing courses and courses for Reconstruction Aides in Physio-therapy and Occupational Therapy as originally planned. The office of the Surgeon-General advised a continuance of this for at least four months and the committee has arranged for the repetition of these groups in the second half-year. The demand for courses for Teachers and Demonstrators in Food Conservation is daily increasing and these courses also will be repeated and developed. The committee plans further to carry on, by means of a seminar in the problems of labor and immigration, the interest in Americanization; to repeat the course in the problems of food conservation and to continue the production of Red Cross supplies.
By means of the foregoing programme the committee has been able to bring the group of non-military students who were not already in the midst of professional training (medicine, nursing, teaching, etc.) into closer touch with the needs of the time and to equip them for definite service.
Course in Employment Management
Another of the War Emergency activities undertaken by the University at the request of the Federal Government was the inauguration of a course in Employment Management. Early in the war the Government realized that its programme of shipbuilding, manufacturing supplies, etc., was being seriously handicapped by labor troubles of various sorts, and especially by an exceedingly high rate of labor turnover. An Employment Management Division was established under the War Industries Board and Captain Boyd Fisher, Ord.R.C., was placed in charge. A number of universities located in industrial centers were invited to coöperate in this original undertaking and to establish courses in Employment Management. This was subsequently done by the Universities
Bay Region Industries Are Studied
At this University the work was placed under the direction of Dr. Ira B. Cross, Associate Professor of Economics and Acting Dean of the College of Commerce, who was assisted by Dr. R. A. Sigsbee of the Emerson Company, New York City. The course opened on September 3 and continued until October 11, 1918. During the six weeks, lectures throughout the day and frequently at evening, trips to near by industrial plants, discussions, reports, etc., gave the twenty-six members of the class a thorough survey of the field and opened to them the opportunity of employing the most modern methods in maintaining industrial peace and in securing and retaining a contented working force. The members of the class came mainly from the San Francisco bay region and represented the following industries, in which about 50,000 employees were engaged: oil, shipbuilding, quarrying, laundry, cotton cloth, copper, sugar refining, electric lamp manufacturing, chemical, fruit and fish packing, and paint manufacturing. The men and women enrolled were mature of age and experienced in the field discussed, almost all of them being the Employment Managers of the firms represented, although one was the superintendent of a large local oil refinery and another was the assistant superintendent of the state's largest powder plant.
At the conclusion of the course a permanent “Service and Employment Managers' Association of California” was organized as a means of continuing the work which had been started at the University. By this means it is hoped to reach other firms and employers and thus assist in making possible the inauguration of better relations between the employers and employees of California.
A reorganization of the administration of the University Extension Division has been deemed expedient and accordingly
Plan for Extension In State
This plan represents an ideal scheme of University Extension organization which is far from being realized at present. This is indicated by the number of positions yet to be filled. An unfilled position is indicated by a cross. It will require a large expenditure to carry it out in full. But it represents the Extension Board's conception of the scope, the needs, and the administrative methods of university extension. Under this plan instructors may confine themselves to instruction, organizers to organization, supervisors to supervision, clerical assistants to clerical work, and directors to direction, in a manner impossible under the old plan.
Within the year a branch of the University Extension was established in Los Angeles thus initiating the plan of district organization as indicated by the scheme presented in the diagram.
* An unfilled position is indicated by a cross.
Interest Increases in Class Work
During the past year University Extension class work in central California consisted of 402 classes conducted in 17 different cities, with a total enrollment of 6901. This represents an increased enrollment of 1887 over that of the preceding year. One hundred and twelve courses were offered under the supervision of 74 instructors and were attended by 4526 students. The average attendance was 88 per cent, an increase of 4⅔ per cent over that of the preceding year. Since attendance is optional, this is regarded as an index of interest on the part of the student.
Naval Courses Train Men for Commissions
The war emergency work received a large share of the effort expended on class instruction. The most conspicuous development along these lines was that of the Naval preparatory courses, consisting of instruction in Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, Seamanship and Ordnance and Naval Regulations, conducted in the Ferry Building in San Francisco under the immediate supervision of Professor
[Flow Chart--University of California Extension]
Instruction was furnished for large organizations in response to requests for some specialized types of work. Among the institutions so served were: American Institute of Banking, Business Development League of Oakland, Credit Men's Association, Hamlin School for Girls, Kentfield Women's Club, National League for Women's Service, Oakland Advertising Club, Oxnard Red Cross Unit, San Francisco Advertising Club, St. Francis Welfare League, Stockton Advertising Club, Westinghouse Electric Company.
Reduce Fees to Enlist Soldiers
Since July, 1913, when University Extension was organized upon the present plan, 10,498 enrollments for instruction in correspondence courses have been received. For 1917-18, the enrollments totaled 2456--the largest number received in any one year--and this despite the hindrance of war conditions. The enrollments were made by 2268 persons, of whom 90 were soldiers and sailors, who availed themselves of the Extension offer of a reduced enrollment fee to all enlisted men; 1818 were persons who paid regular fees, 280 were inmates of San Quentin and Folsom Prisons, to whom instruction was supplied without charge, and 90 were men in the United States Disciplinary Barracks on Alcatraz Island, for the correction of whose lessons the government pays a nominal fee.
The places of residence of the correspondence students were widely scattered. Every country of the state, save Alpine, and
Correspondence Courses Meet Varied Demands
One hundred and seventy-five courses of instruction are offered. Of these, forty-two are new courses which have been added within the year, and thirty-one are old ones which have been completely revised. During the past year, 5869 specific inquiries regarding instruction by correspondence were received. Of these inquiries, 4935 were for subjects in which adequate instruction is offered. But there were 934 demands which correspondence instruction was unable to meet. The three subjects for which unmet demands were greatest are home economics, science (chiefly physics and chemistry), and engineering.
102,500 Hear Lectures in Many Cities
Notwithstanding conditions brought about by the war, tending to lessen the demand for lectures, the University Extension supplied 452 Extension lectures in 81 cities, employing a staff of 30 persons. The aggregate attendance at these lectures was 102,500 persons; the average attendance 227. The work was offered in the form of single lectures and lectures given in series. The subjects discussed may be classified under the following heads: vocational, technical, political, economic, geographic, historical, popular, literary, educational, scientific, and lectures on music and art. A novel feature in the field of University Extension lecture activities has been the combination of musical recitals with lectures. Care has been exercised to select only the best musicians for these recitals, approximately twenty well-known artists being made available to the people of the state. Significant of the type of lecture work to be enlarged upon in the future is the course of twenty free lectures on Public Utilities given to the leading business men of San Francisco.
Debating Leagues Organized
The principal work in the field of Public Discussion during the past year was the conducting of the Interscholastic Public Speaking and High School Debating League. Eighty-three high schools, with an aggregate attendance of approximately 40,000 pupils, were enrolled
Motion Pictures Form Part of Instruction
During the past year, as in previous years, the work of the Bureau of Visual Instruction has consisted of organizing and circulating stereopticon slides, motion picture reels, and industrial exhibits. Special effort has been made to meet demands incident to war activities and to further, so far as our resources would permit, instruction that would conform to government aims. One hundred and ninety-two organizations, consisting principally of high schools, colleges, clubs and churches, made use of the stereopticon slides of this department. Current events, lectures, illustrated by about forty stereopticon slides each, were circulated among 288 organizations with an estimated attendance of 95,000 persons. Effort has been made to catalogue and make available for circulation about 26,000 slides belonging to various departments of the University. Sixty-five additional reels from the Bureau of Commercial Economics of Washington, D. C., were received for circulation by this department. A notable addition to our available material for circulation is the film “How Life Begins,” prepared by Mr. G. S. Stone and Professor J. S. Long. Nine hundred and twenty organizations of the state were supplied with motion picture film during the past year. One hundred travelling industrial exhibits are now available for circulation among the schools of the state. The purpose of these exhibits, when first circulated, was to supplement information concerning various industries. It has since become evident that the industrial exhibits form a certain part of vocational guidance work.
Extension Branch in Los Angeles
A branch office of University Extension was opened in Los Angeles on August 6, 1917. Miss Nadine Crump, formerly of the Berkeley Extension staff, was placed in general charge. Two types of service were especially emphasized in southern California--class and lecture.
The organization of class work began on October 10. Since that time ninety-four classes have been organized: seventy-four in Los Angeles, six in Hollywood, four in Glendale, four in
About one hundred and fifty lectures for various communities in the southern district were also provided. Courses of lectures have been given in twenty-nine towns and cities. A course of twelve lectures on topics relating to the war was offered free to the public at the Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles. These lectures were given with one exception, without compensation by professors from the University. The audiences varied in numbers from seventy-five to eleven hundred.
Southern District Cordial
Indicative of the cordial reception accorded extension work in southern California is the hearty coöperation of organizations and other universities and colleges. In the work of instruction itself, professors from Throop Polytechnic Institute, the University of Southern California, Occidental College, Pomona College, and the Los Angeles Normal School served most ably. This made possible a high type of instruction, all of the courses being of university grade and many carrying university credit. The classes were conducted in the school buildings, in the audience room of the Woman's University Club, in the rooms of the Railroad Commission, the Industrial Accident Commission and the Supreme Court. Such indications, together with the general enthusiasm of the students, promises well for the future of the work in this district.
University Extension centers should be organized in a number of important cities throughout California which are now insufficiently served. San Diego, Santa Barbara, Fresno, Sacramento, Red Bluff, and Eureka are examples.
Foreign Trade Courses
The natural growth of the work in Los Angeles and the south necessitates a larger expenditure. It is eminently desirable that
The Federal Board of Vocational Training is already working on this urgent problem, but Chambers of Commerce are aware that much local effort should be speedily put forth to meet the whole need. Here is work that the University of California is well adapted to undertake. It should have the necessary funds to coöperate in the fullest way with organizations already at work in this field.
Rubber Supply in Native Plants
The Department of Botany has been investigating the supply of rubber contained in certain native plants, which could be drawn upon in case importations should be seriously interfered with, through enemy action or otherwise. These investigations have reached such a stage that it can now be stated with certainty that a considerable amount of rubber is available. Though the plants in which it is found carry but a comparatively small percentage of rubber, it is of good quality and when vulcanized the product is very satisfactory. Thus the occurrence of a reserve native supply of rubber for use in a national emergency, to replace, to a certain extent at least, present importations has been demonstrated. The Department of Botany is in addition investigating the possibility of bringing these native rubber bearing plants under cultivation. These plants withstand alkali and are exceedingly resistant to cold and thus might be of great importance in desert agriculture and the reclamation of waste areas in general.
Work of Importance in Chemistry
The work of the Department of Chemistry has been divided between investigations of native resources of particular war emergency importance, and special war research in coöperation with departments in Washington. Important contributions have been made to our
Survey Deposits of Manganese
Under the direction of Professor George D. Louderback and in coöperation with the Department of Mining of this University and the United States Bureau of Mines, a series of exceedingly important researches have been carried on. That having to do with the manganese situation in California has perhaps been the most vital, in view of the great desirability of reducing imports of manganese to release shipping. Manganese bodies, have not only been located and mapped, but particular attention has been given to the nature of the occurrence and origin of the ore. The problems connected with the metallurgy of manganese and the handling of low grade ores have received attention.
Zoologists Work on State Health Board
The types of important zoological researches that have been carried on are: First, investigations bearing upon problems of sanitation or medical research (by arrangement with the State Board of Health, zoological work of this kind has been made one of the research projects of the Board and members of the Department of Zoology have become Biologists of the Board of Health); second, studies relating to increase of our animal food supply. Methods of preserving fish and other aquatic products which hitherto have not been used as food are among the highly important research problems being actively investigated by zoological experts in coöperation with various government bureaus. An inventory is being made of the utilized and hitherto unutilized species of fishes and other aquatic animals of California. The invertebrate
Distribution of Fish is Scripps Problem
The Scripps Institution for Biological Research is engaged in studying the factors controlling the appearance, distribution, and abundance of food fishes on the southern California coast. This is a highly important piece of research which will require the best efforts of a number of trained investigators over a number of years.
Observe Fiftieth Birthday
The year just ended marked the conclusion of the first fifty years of the University's life, for it was on March 23, 1868, that Governor Henry H. Haight granted approval to the act creating and organizing the University of California. At that time there existed in Oakland a College of California, which had opened its doors in 1860. This college, with classes numbering from two to six members, served as the foundation upon which the new University of California was built. For four years (1869-1873) the old college building in Oakland proved sufficiently large, but in 1873 the University moved to its permanent location in Berkeley.
Semicentenary Dedicated to Nation's Task
Each year the University has celebrated Charter Day with fitting ceremony. But in 1918, it was deemed proper that the end of the fiftieth year of the life of the University be marked in a distinctive manner. A mere jubilee, however, and a recital of past achievements would have been out of harmony with the grim struggle in which the nation was engaged. The Semicentenary, accordingly, developed into a celebration symbolizing the progress of western scholarship during the last fifty years, and giving evidence of the University's stern application to the service of the nation in its time of need.
International Relations is Theme
The rapidly increasing importance of international relations and the reciprocal interests of the states about the Pacific Ocean, combined with the geographical position of the University fronting the Golden Gate, suggested the plan of holding a conference on international relations
Favor Recurrent Conferences
The great distances to be travelled, the need for economy, and the transfer of so many members of university faculties into the national service made the number of representatives smaller than would otherwise have been the case. Yet almost every important university in the allied and neutral states sent a response; and all of the institutions of collegiate grade on the Pacific coast, most of the more important universities of this country, and many foreign nations sent distinguished delegates to attend in person. The five meetings of the Conference were accordingly of very great interest. Eminent men from all parts of the world, the majority, however, from states bordering on the Pacific Ocean, discussed problems of vital international interest. The subjects included the history of the Pacific Ocean area, aspects of the international labor problem, oceanographic, meteorologic and biological problems of the North Pacific, problems of agricultural education and research, and aspects of trade. The final meeting considered favorably a plan for recurrent conferences on international problems of the Pacific.
Scholars Deliver Addresses
Among the important addresses delivered at this time were the Earl Lectures by Professor James Henry Breasted of the University of Chicago; the Weinstock Lecture by Professor James Hayden Tufts, also of the University of Chicago; the Faculty Research Lecture by Professor Rudolph Schevill of the University of California; and the Hitchcock Lectures by Professor George Fillmore Swain of Harvard University. Public addresses of great significance were given by visiting scholars almost every hour that the large auditoriums of the campus were available. In addition, many
Invitations to take part in these observances were sent also to the alumni. They, it was felt, would be visible records of the work of the University in its fifty years of existence. The response of the alumni was indeed gratifying, and the University's faith in their loyalty was justified. The alumni headquarters made every effort to welcome them; it provided rest rooms, furnished information, and supplied guides from among the students.
Many Alumni Participate
Most of the classes of graduates held reunion dinners on or near the campus; the alumni as a whole held an informal gathering in the Harmon Gymnasium and at that time paid tribute to Professor George C. Edwards, then about to retire from the service of the University as Professor Emeritus. The period of his connection with the University as student and instructor has been contemporaneous with the University's life, and the love he has inspired in its sons and daughters is deep and abiding. There was also a more formal assembly of the alumni on the occasion of the annual alumni banquet.
Dedicate Sather Tower
To many of the alumni the campus was almost entirely unfamiliar; the old landmarks were gone and new buildings had taken their places. Two of the recently constructed buildings were dedicated during the Semicentenary. One of them, Gilman Hall, is a much needed building for the Department of Chemistry, constructed from the funds generously voted to the University by the state. The other was one of the few structures on the campus built for beauty alone; this is the Sather Tower, the bequest of Mrs. Jane K. Sather. A marble chair in the Greek Theatre was dedicated to the memory of Professor F. V. Paget, for many years Professor of French in the University. A bust of John M. Eshleman, alumnus of the University and loyal servant of the University and the state, was unveiled with commemorative addresses in Wheeler Hall.
Service Flag is Unfurled
Acknowledgment of the military activities of the University came on March 22, Military Day. An important event of the day was the parade and review of a brigade composed of eight hundred and fifty members of the University's School of Military Aeronautics, the fifteen hundred cadets of the University's Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and a battalion of sailors from the United States Naval Training Station on Yerba Buena Island. As the most impressive event of the day, the service flag, then representing twenty-two hundred sons of the University in the service of the nation, was unfurled from the belvedere of the Tower.
Fourteen Receive Degrees
Charter Day itself marked the end of the week of observances. The speaker of the day was President Harry Burns Hutchins of the University of Michigan. At this meeting the delegates presented their credentials and were formally welcomed. In accordance with the action of the Board of Regents, the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon fourteen distinguished scholars. The men thereby received into the list of alumni of the University are:
- WILLIAM THOMAS REID, head of Belmont Academy, only living ex-president of the University of California.
- BERNARD MOSES, Professor of Political Economy Emeritus, University of California.
- WILLIAM MILLIGAN SLOANE, Professor of History, Columbia University.
- JAMES HENRY BREASTED, Professor of Egyptology and Ancient History, University of Chicago.
- GEORGE FILLMORE SWAIN, Professor of Civil Engineering, Harvard University.
- MASAHARU ANESAKI, Professor in the University of Tokio.
- FRANKLIN FAIRCHILD WESBROOK, President of the University of British Columbia.
- UNG-YU YEN, Professor in the University of Peking.
- HENRY SUZZALLO, President of the University of Washington.
- A. ROSS HILL, President of the University of Missouri.
- CHARLES RICHARD VAN HISE, President of the University of Wisconsin.
- HARRY BURNS HUTCHINS, President of the University of Michigan.
- CHARLES CESTRE, Professor of English Literature, University of Bordeaux, France.
Thus did the University commemorate the completion of its first fifty years.
Semicentennial Publications Are Issued
One method of observance that is a durable record not only of the Semicentenary, but also of the University's scholarly activities, has been the publication by the University of a series of works in subjects ranging from agriculture to Greek. These works, fifty-four in number, contain important contributions to the world's scholarship by members of the University, and will serve to commemorate in abiding form the University's Semicentenary.
Summer Session Enrollment
The experiences of eastern summer sessions in 1917 indicated a probable falling off of about twenty-five per cent in the attendance at the University of California Summer Session of 1918; the newly instituted summer quarter at the Leland Stanford Junior University and the opening at Los Angeles of a Southern Division of our own Summer Session compelled us to face the possibility of an even greater decrease in our enrollment at Berkeley; plans were made accordingly. Our students, however, seemed to find in the wide opportunities thus offered them a valuable means to that re-adjustment of society which was made necessary by the Great War. In the Berkeley Summer Session the enrollment was 3479, a decrease of only about twelve per cent. In Los Angeles, 630 students were enrolled; the total, 4109, was thus actually in excess of 3979, the enrollment in 1917. In Berkeley, moreover, a second term of six weeks immediately following the Summer Session, organized for War Emergency Courses, enrolled 594 persons; 4703, the total for the summer of 1918, has been exceeded only by that of 1915, the Exposition year, when the student body numbered 5364.
Of the 3479 registered in Berkeley, 1671 were teachers; 522 were men; 2957 were women; 2708 were Californians; 723 registered from other states, and 41 from foreign countries.
Second Term of Session Successful
The second term was an interesting experiment. The bulletin was not widely circulated because, owing to inevitable delays it was not published until shortly before the beginning of instruction. There were, however, 594 students in attendance, of whom
Summer Session Instituted in Los Angeles
The session at Los Angeles must be counted a success. The attendance, 630, was comparable with the 661 enrolled at Berkeley in 1908, and highly creditable in view of the difficulties which had to be overcome. The Los Angeles Board of Education generously placed at the disposal of the University the new Los Angeles High School building, a beautiful modern structure, ample in size and admirably equipped for our purposes. Many of the public lectures were held in a club house, rented for the purpose, near the center of the city. The city, moreover, generously permitted the use of the auditorium in its Recreation Center for the Community Chorus of the Summer Session. Many persons were glad to avail themselves of the opportunities offered; and many expressions of satisfaction and approval were received by Dean Monroe E. Deutsch, who was in charge of the session.
War Courses of Interest to Thousands
The large attendance upon all of the sessions is to be accounted for by the special timeliness of the courses. War work of one sort and another was everywhere emphasized. Most notable, perhaps, was the group of “schools,” or groups of courses, instituted at Berkeley and continuing through the twelve consecutive weeks of the two terms.
Flexibility of Session is Evidenced
All in all, the experience of 1918 gives new evidence of the special value of the flexibility and adaptibility of the Summer Session. Its six weeks' courses offer opportunities for concentrated training in such special fields as the time demands. With reference to these fields, its faculty, which changes from year to year, is engaged. The Summer Session is sufficiently independent of the University to create or suppress departments, to try experiments in men and courses as need may arise, and to provide for its maturer students what they desire. Absence of formal entrance requirements permits the admission of all those who can profit by its courses.
Need for Students' Union
It is expected that with the close of the war and the resumption of normal building activities in the state a renewal of the plan to construct a students' union will be brought forward. Since the demolition of North Hall, the students' activities of the University have been concentrated in the North Hall basement, which was left standing for this purpose. This structure is not only inadequate as to size; it is thoroughly unbeautiful architecturally and detracts from the rightful splendor of the University Library, its nearset neighbor. There is strong need for a student meeting place about which the student life of the University may center. The University publications must be housed. The Associated Students' Store is in cramped quarters. There is need of a cafeteria or lunch room establishment to accommodate those students who
Crocker Eclipse Expedition
Through the generosity of Regent William H. Crocker an expedition to view the solar eclipse of June 18, 1918, was sent from the Lick Observatory to Goldendale, Washington, about 100 miles from Portland, Oregon. The expedition was headed by Dr. W. W. Campbell, Director of the Lick Observatory. The sky, which had been cloudy all day, cleared marvelously for the eclipse, but within a few minutes afterwards was again overcast. In this respect the Goldendale expedition had the complete advantage over the other twelve solar eclipse expeditions sent from the Lick Observatory, all of which experienced cloudy skies. The time of the eclipse was limited to 118 seconds. In this short space one motion picture film was taken and 41 photographs of the corona were obtained by the expedition. It was expected that new scientific data in regard to the nature of the sun itself and its surrounding atmosphere would result from the observations.
Urgent Need of Fields for Sports
One effect of the establishment of the Students' Army Training Corps Unit at the same time that various other military and naval schools were being conducted by the University was to evidence beyond doubt the imperative need of greater playground and drill field facilities. During the existence of the Students' Army Training Corps it was found impossible to permit the students to engage in organized sport as extensively as was desired by the military authorities in Washington and by the Physical Education Department of the University. The west field was enlarged by clearing the ground immediately south and extending to Harmon Gymnasium. Even this increase in space was insufficient to accommodate for drill purposes the men of the various military and naval units and to allow participation in sports simultaneously.
Sather Bells Are Installed
The twelve Sather Bells, the gift to the University of Mrs. Jane K. Sather, reached Berkeley on October 12, 1917, and were installed in the 300-foot Sather Tower, also the gift of Mrs. Sather, under the direction of W. H. Billinghurst, who was sent from England by the bell-founders, John Taylor and Sons of Loughborough. Ten minute concerts are held three times daily. In addition to the Chimes and the Tower, Mrs. Sather has given to the University the Sather Esplanade, the Sather Gate, and has endowed the Sather Professorship of History, and the Sather Professorship of Classical Literature.
Joffre Debate Instituted
In honor of Marshal Joffre, the University of California and Leland Stanford Junior University are to hold an annual “Joffre Debate.” Baron Pierre de Coubertin of Paris is to provide the gold “Medaille Joffre” for the intercollegiate debate, which will be on French affairs, replacing the Carnot debate of former years.
Food Courses Given for Women
The Department of Home Economics inaugurated during the year a course of lectures, demonstrations, and laboratory work dealing with food conservation problems, in response to an appeal from Mr. Herbert D. Hoover, United States Food Administrator. Three series of lectures were given. A complete report on the food conservation courses instituted to meet the war emergency is contained in the War Service Record of the University, published as a supplement to this report.
Vocational Teachers to be Trained
The University and the State Board of Education entered into an agreement on January 10 whereby the University undertakes to establish and maintain courses for the training of vocational teachers of agricultural,
Gift of Howison Library
Mrs. Lois T. Howison has donated to the University a rare collection of books on philosophical subjects from the library of the late Professor George Holmes Howison. It is her desire that these 1235 volumes form the basis of a departmental library for the Department of Philosophy.
Music Scholarship to Make Possible Study in Paris
A scholarship in music has been endowed through a bequest of $30,000 by Elizabeth Patterson Mitchell of San Francisco. The net proceeds from the investment of this sum are to be awarded each two years as a prize to enable a student in music at the University to obtain two further years of musical study in Paris.
Land Board Headed by Dr. Mead
As Chairman of the State Land Settlement Board, Dr. Elwood Mead, Professor of Rural Institutions at the University, assisted in organizing for settlement a tract of 3620 acres irrigable land in Butte County between Durham and Chico. The tract was divided into 53 farms and 21 allotment units for farm laborers, the separate divisions ranging from 20 to 160 acres in extent. A map showing the character of the soil on each farm was prepared by the College of Agriculture and posted for inspection. The Division of Irrigation Investigations of the University, in coöperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, drew plans for an irrigation and drainage system.
Khaki and Blue at Commencement
One-third of the members of the graduating class already had answered the call to colors and were absent from Berkeley when the fifty-fifth Commencement Exercises were held in the Greek Theatre on May 15, 1918. The University service flag on Commencement Day showed 2400 stars, and the Senior class service flag 484 stars. Captain
Valuable Site Ceded to Regents
By a provision of the Army Appropriation Bill of 1918, the tract of land on the reservation of the Presidio of San Francisco upon which the Palace of Fine Arts stands has been ceded to the Regents of the University, thus insuring the permanency of this institution.
Tethelin Given to University
A medical discovery of the first importance is that of “Tethelin” by Dr. T. Brailsford Robertson, Professor of Biochemistry. Dr. Robertson has executed a deed conveying to the Board of Regents his patent rights in this growth-promoting substance, which he isolated from the anterior lobe of the pituitary body, and which promises to be of great value in causing wounds to heal or shattered bones to knit. It is proposed to devote the proceeds from the sale of Tethelin largely to the maintenance of an Institute of Medical Research, dedicated to research in medicine and especially to research in the physiology, chemistry, and pathology of growth.
Hilgard and Gilman Halls Dedicated
Increased facilities for instruction and for research work have been provided the College of Agriculture through the dedication of Hilgard Hall at Berkeley on October 13, 1917, and the dedication at Riverside of the Citrus Experiment Station Laboratories on March 27. Hilgard Hall furnishes class rooms, laboratories, and offices, while the Citrus Experiment Station offers opportunity for investigations into plant life. The Department of Chemistry has taken advantage of the added space for advanced work afforded by the completion of Gilman Hall, which, however, is not as yet fully
Library of French Thought Presented
On Lafayette Day, Thursday, September 6, 1917, the Library of French Thought, consisting of 2500 volumes covering virtually all fields of French literature, philosophy and science, was dedicated under the auspices of the Friends of France, in the French Room of the University Library. The volumes were originally assembled for exhibition in the French Pavilion at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and at the close of the Exposition were presented to the University by the French Government, under the patronage of the Friends of France. M. Edouard de Billy, Deputy High Commissioner of the French Republic to the United States, was sent from Washington to represent the French Government at the dedication.
Patriotic Meetings Are Held
The Board of Regents in June, 1918, voted to permit the use of the Greek Theatre for meetings which would be of benefit to America and her Allies, with the proviso that no private person profit financially from any performance. A large number of patriotic meetings was held in the theatre. Hon. Charles M. Schwab, Director of the United States Shipping Board, members of the French Mission to the United States, and other distinguished visitors to Berkeley, have been among those who have spoken to students of the University and to residents of the bay communities. The University Meetings, held twice each month, have been in the nature of patriotic observances during the period of the war emergency.
Fishing Industry Developed
Important war work was carried on during the year at the Scripps Institution for Biological Research at La Jolla. The institution, in coöperation with the National Food Administration, conducted experiments on methods, other than canning, of preserving fish; furnished the State Game and Fish Commission information on harvesting kelp beds; and determined more accurately than had been determined hitherto the area for tuna fishing. Important researches on the “plankton” as the food supply of commercial fishes have been carried on. Dr. W. E. Ritter, Director, was appointed Director
Research Work in Medicine
The work of the Medical School has been greatly advanced through added facilities gained by the utilization of the new University Hospital. Many members of the faculty have been absent on war service and a heavy load of work has consequently fallen upon the remaining members. Important research work in medicine was accomplished by members of the faculty of the school as a war service. The George Williams Hooper Foundation for Medical Research has performed noteworthy service in this regard.
Members of the staff of the College of Dentistry who did not enlist for active service acted as examiners of candidates for the Dental Reserve Corps and performed gratuitously a large number of dental operations upon drafted men and recruits. A condensed course of instruction in War Dental Surgery was given for forty-eight officers of the Reserve Corps.
To Find Positions for Soldiers
Through its Employment Bureau, which has operated successfully for the last year, and through the combined efforts of the Alumni Association, the office of the Appointment Secretary and the Secretary of the College of Agriculture, the University hopes to aid alumni, former students, and members of the student body who are returning to civil life from the military service of the government. Efforts are being made by these departments of the University to secure lists of positions and to bring in touch with employers those returning members of the University body who are or will be seeking positions. It is proposed so to conduct the organization constructed for the Military Bureau of the Alumni Association that it may function immediately as an employment agency for University of California men and women. The University's own employment bureau has been successful in adjusting salary schedules for clerical workers employed by the University and in supplying the various departments with these workers when needed.
Regent Endows Four Scholarships
Regent Isaias W. Hellman has given $50,000 to the University to endow four scholarships for the aid and encouragement each year of four needy, deserving, and competent students in the academic departments. The income on each scholarship will be approximately $500 a year--of unusual liberality for an undergraduate scholarship.
1917 Class to Erect Memorial
The class of 1917 has given the sum of $2000 as a nucleus for a class endowment to the University. The principal of the fund is to be kept intact until 1935 when the plans of the class call for a reunion, at which time the principal of the sum will be added to by popular subscription, the total amount to be used to erect a memorial to the class of 1917.
Historical Review Founded
A new periodical, The Hispanic American Historical Review, made its initial appearance at the University in February of this year. The chief object of the Review is the publication of articles discussing the early history of the Pacific Coast and of Spanish America. Members of the faculty of the University are serving on the board of editors. The Review was founded largely through the munificence of Mr. Juan C. Cebrian of San Francisco, who has donated to the University several thousand volumes of Spanish works.
Doheny Research Foundation
In January of 1918 the Board of Regents entered into an agreement with the Doheny Research Foundation, just then established by Mr. Edward J. Doheny, to investigate and report upon political and economic conditions in Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement certain research associates of the Foundation were appointed, the University extending its hearty coöperation and the free use of its library facilities, offices, etc. Under the direction of an executive committee, on which were representatives of the University, the Doheny Research Foundation has compiled valuable data relating to present day conditions in Mexico and the historical reasons for them. A large part of the work was done in connection with the Bancroft Library collection of the University.
Eminent Scholars Lecture
Many notable lectures by individuals of national reputation
Strengthen School of Education
An immediate and pressing need of the University is a fully developed School of Education. This means the provision of a sub-department corresponding to each of the main activities of public education, so that training may be provided for leadership in every branch of instruction. I shall recommend to the Regents the appropriation for next year of $15,000 to be used in extending the work of the school. We are negotiating with the Oakland School Department for the rebuilding and extension of the University High School, which serves as chief laboratory of our teachers' training work.
Higher Salaries for Faculty
The continued lagging of the salary list behind the increased cost of living makes necessary a decisive increase of salaries for the teaching force. This increase must not average less than ten per cent. No profession is more thoroughly underpaid than our university teachers. Upon nothing is the University more definitely dependent than upon the character and spirit of its teaching.
Need for New Buildings is Keenly Felt
It is evident that with the burdens of the war still upon us we cannot this year ask the State for new buildings, but nevertheless we need them, and with the outlook toward the future we must state the need. First of all we need a Students' Union, a building which shall house
But all this and much else I leave to my successor with my blessing.

Agriculture
The annual report of the College of Agriculture, published separately as usual, contains the customary summary of the routine activities of the Experiment Station. In addition, at the request of the Director, Professor W. Mulford has made an analysis of the research work with the view of possible revision and coordination to the end that the larger problems of the Experiment Station may be attacked more comprehensively and effectively. The report also contains a notable paper by Professor E. J. Wickson, Dean and Director Emeritus, on the investigations of the Department of Agriculture during its first half century of work.
Because of its responsibilities for extension work, the staff of the department has given much of its time and energies to war activities, a synopsis of which has been published in the July issue of the University Chronicle. Several members of the staff have assisted the State Land Settlement Board, of which Dr. Elwood Mead is chairman, in locating and organizing for settlement about 6400 acres of land at Durham, Butte County.
The acceptance by the University of the responsibilities for training teachers of agriculture under the Smith-Hughes law has placed new emphasis upon the work of the Division of Agricultural Education, although the preparation of teachers of agriculture for secondary schools has been a definite part of the work of this department since 1909. The war crisis has made the number of men pursuing the five-year course of study for a teacher's certificate almost negligible. To meet this situation, there have been started at the University Farm at Davis special courses in technical agricultural subjects primarily intended for men over thirty years of age who have had satisfactory teaching experience in the sciences underlying agriculture. These courses began in April and continued through the summer.
The policy of the department has been to give courses of instruction to any group of persons whenever the need has definitely been indicated, providing the facilities and the time of the staff permit. In pursuance of this policy, many groups of citizens have been brought together for periods varying from a few days to six weeks. Including the usual Farmers' Short Courses, about forty such groups have come together during the year for periods varying from a few days to six weeks.
One of the many outside activities of the department is the educational work at the state prison at San Quentin under the auspices of the Division of Agricultural Education. At the meetings of the San Quentin Agricultural Club on the first and fourth Saturday of each month the regular class work is conducted. On the second Saturday, members of the club give talks on some agricultural subject or a film is shown, while on the third Saturday a speaker is supplied from this department. The average attendance at the eleven lectures given by members of the department staff during the year is estimated at 570. The club membership is 350. As further illustrative of the scope of outside activities, a member of the Division of Agricultural Education, in addition to his regular resident instruction, has given during the year 178 lectures, with an aggregate attendance of 46,050.
The California State Dairy Cow Competition which began in November, 1916, was concluded in February of the present year. Ten months', or yearly, records were completed by 609 cows, owned by thirty-four different breeders. Prizes valued at $7500 were donated by public-spirited citizens. The competition has had a splendid influence in stimulating better methods of feeding and handling dairy cattle.
The allotment of funds by the United States Department of Agriculture in the interest of its food production campaign has made possible an increase in the staff personnel of the Department of Agriculture at the University. The additions to the staff, brought about by this and other factors, were 50 during the year. On June 1, 1918, there were 214 appointees connected with the department, 20 of whom were on war leave, 83 residents of Berkeley, 39 at the University Farm at Davis, 12 at the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, and 60 in the field service or connected with minor stations.
The number of high school teachers of agriculture co-operatively employed as district club leaders has increased from 15 to 34. The enrollment in agriculture clubs has increased from 1879 boys in 1917 to 2389 boys and girls in 1918, not including many volunteers enrolled for planting summer crops.
The organization of county farm bureaus was started by the department on July 1, 1913. Organization has been perfected in fifteen counties at the outbreak of the war and in eighteen counties on June 30, 1917.
Since April, 1917, eleven women demonstrators have been added to the three specialists employed for demonstration work among women on the farms. They have devoted their efforts to the furtherance of four major projects: the conservation of food by canning and drying; the use of substitutes for such foods as are needed by the American army and navy and by the Allies; the increasing of the number of home gardens; the further development of poultry raising. During the year, 1342 demonstrations and 551 lectures were attended by 66,029 persons.
Military training was instituted at the beginning of the first semester as a part of the curriculum for students at the University Farm. Three companies, composed of 217 officers and men, received military training during the first semester; during the second semester, two companies composed of 142 officers and men, were trained.
The year has been characterized by the dedication of Hilgard Hall at Berkeley on October 13 and the dedication at Riverside on March 27 of the Citrus Laboratories. These additions to the facilities of the department represent an expenditure of half a million dollars. Hilgard Hall provides classrooms, laboratories, and offices for the divisions of Agronomy, Citriculture, Forestry, Genetics, Pomology, Soil Technology, and Viticulture. The work of the Citrus Experiment Station, including investigations in plant breeding, plant pathology, and entomology, is carried on in the newly constructed laboratories at Riverside.
An exchange of assistant professors of entomology was effected with Cornell University, whereby Professor E. C. Van Dyke of the University of California went to Cornell for the year and Professor J. C. Bradley of Cornell came to Berkeley. An exchange of assistant professors of animal husbandry was effected with the Kansas State College of Agriculture, Professor J. C. Thompson of this University going to Kansas and Professor C. M. Vestal coming to Berkeley.
Sixteen bulletins and thirty-five circulars have been published during the year, in addition to the annual report of the Director and thirty-eight war emergency leaflets. A total of 1,903,000 copies of the various publications have been printed, and the number of persons on the mailing list of the department has increased from 35,000 to 36,500.
Scientific and technical papers contributed to journals by members of the staff of the department have been commented upon favorably by those engaged in research work throughout the country. A noteworthy publication of the year is a textbook by Professor E. B. Babcock and Professor R. E. Clausen on “Genetics in Relation to Agriculture.”

Anthropology
The University's Museum of Anthropology has entertained 21,015 visitors during the past year. Associate Curator E. W. Gifford has given 134 lectures in the museum and eight lectures have been given by others. Persons attending the lectures included 11,424 children from 348 classes in the public schools.
The museum has been enriched by a number of gifts from Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, including four paintings of Hopi subjects by C. O. Borg. The largest single task in the routine work of the museum was the cataloguing of about three thousand Peruvian specimens.
Research work in the field has been conducted along three lines: the state-wide survey of kinship systems, which has been completed; the study of the religious practices of Central Californian tribes; and intensive research work among Cahuilla Indians of the Colorado Desert.
Dr. Robert H. Lowie of the American Museum of Natural History held the position of associate professor through an exchange agreement whereby Professor A. L. Kroeber was to carry on Dr. Lowie's work in New York during the second half-year. Both Professor Kroeber and Professor T. T. Waterman were absent from the museum during the second semester and much of their work was carried on by Dr. Lowie. Professor Waterman left the University to go to the University of Washington as Associate Professor of Anthropology.
Architecture
Many students in this school who otherwise would have returned to the University have enlisted for active war service; many who were enrolled in the department for the first semester left the University during the year to go into some branch of war service, or to take up the study of naval engineering and other subjects that would fit them for war work.
The registered attendance at exhibitions held in the gallery of the school was 5484. The exhibitions, for the most part, were of the work of students.
The department again urges the necessity for a fireproof room for the department library; undergraduate scholarships and fellowships; prizes for distinguished work; and a chair of landscape architecture, either as a part of, or in closest affiliation with the School of Architecture.
Astronomy
This department has carried on successfully war activities inaugurated during the preceding year. Members of the staff have continued with the teaching of Navigation and Nautical Astronomy in the Shipping Board's Navigation School. The department has taken an active part in the organization and conduct of courses preparatory to naval service, both in the University and elsewhere under the auspices of the University Extension Division.
The increasing demand for admittance to elementary observatory
Every member of the staff of the past two years, including ten professors, instructors and assistants, has been or is now in the government service. In February, Professor R. T. Crawford received a commission as major in the Signal Corps, and was assigned as Senior Instructor at the Air Service Balloon School at Fort Omaha, Nebraska.
During the second half-year, Astronomers H. D. Curtis and W. H. Wright of the staff of the Lick Observatory were engaged in instruction in the Berkeley Astronomical Department.
Botany A list of gifts presented to the Department of Botany, its garden, museum and herbarium will be found on pp. 199-201.
Problems of an economic nature arising out of war conditions have been the subject of important investigations by the staff of this department during the past year. Professor H. M. Hall and Professor T. H. Goodspeed have devoted a considerable portion of their time to investigating the possibility of obtaining a supply of rubber from native plants. A continuance of the investigations has been recommended by the Pacific Coast Research Conference. An outline of the course of the investigations has been presented to the State Council of Defense, and $700 appropriated by the State Council has been expended in exploration and in the assembling of materials for testing. The department has been called upon for determinations and for advice by a larger number of persons than ever before, as the result of the widespread interest in making a more extensive use of native plants for food and for other purposes. In this emergency war work, the Herbarium has demonstrated its usefulness most thoroughly, supplying investigators with important original information. The identifications made for correspondents and for visitors during the year reached a total of 2213.
The donations, which to a considerable extent come through members of the department, equaled only 1724 during the year, as compared with 6434 in 1916. The Herbarium has received in exchange 3776 sheets of plants, from the National Herbarium at Washington, D. C., the Herbarium of the University of Wyoming, A. A. Heller of Oroville, California, and from the Herbarium of Stanford University. The chief loans of Herbarium specimens for research purposes have been made to the Field Columbian Museum at Chicago, the University of Illinois, the University of Minnesota, the National Museum and the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University.
Additional steel cases are needed for use in the Herbarium. Specimens sufficient to fill 30,000 sheets are ready for mounting, but it seems unwise to proceed until cases are provided.
The number of rooms available for use by the department is still inadequate and the number of assistants is too small, in spite of the fact that the enrollment of students, particularly of students in graduate and advanced courses, has decreased. The small building known as the Chemistry Annex is to be occupied by the department, and this added space will provide fair accommodations for work in cryptogamic botany, vegetable physiology, and cytology. The Botany Building, which houses laboratories for the study of phaenogamic, economic and elementary botany, should be remodeled. The construction of a building for use by the Department of Botany, however, would more properly coordinate the different branches of work in the department, now carried on in three different buildings.
It is recommended that the Botanical Garden be removed from its location on the campus to a more isolated site, such as has been selected in Strawberry Canon. This would obviate the tampering with labels and specimens now experienced.
* A list of gifts presented to the Department of Botany, its garden, museum and herbarium will be found on pp. 199-201.
Celtic
The Department of Celtic has continued its work successfully with few changes in the policies of the preceding year. A valuable acquisition to the University Library was made in the purchase of complete sets of the “Archaeologia Cambrensis” and the “Transactions of Cymmrodorion Society” of Wales.
Chemistry
The war has struck the dominant note in the work of this department during the past year. Largely as a result of members going into various branches of the government war service, the staff was reduced from forty-five to twenty-seven. In spite of this handicap, however, the department assisted in the solution of problems of a scientific nature for the National and State Councils of Defense. And while a few of the advanced courses that have usually been given in alternate years, and that have been open to but few students, have been given up, all of the more important courses were carried on.
Most cordial relations have been established with the various chemical manufacturers of the state. The department has assisted in solving their problems and has given them information and advice. They, in turn, have reciprocated by extending to the department the freedom of their factories, by supplying materials and samples and by co-operating in every possible way. These activities of the department are held to be extremely important and it is urged that they be extended throughout the state.
Receipts from laboratory fees show that attendance was not far below
The completion of Gilman Hall has accorded the department ample space for advanced work. Much equipment, however, is still needed. The sum set aside from the residue of the building fund was far less than the amount asked for, and, inasmuch as the salary budget provides for an appropriation which is $10,000 less than that of last year, it is urged that the whole or a part of this saving be made available for equipment.
The Department of Chemistry suffered the loss of a loyal and earnest worker through the death of Professor Edward Booth.
Civil Engineering
During the past year, students and faculty members of the Department of Civil Engineering have been engaged in various branches of war work. Mr. V. Arntzen and other members of the department, in co-operation with the Department of Astronomy, have designed and perfected a system of range finders for Captain Dinsmore Alter, C. A. R. C. Apparatus for use in the aviation schools at San Diego and at Kelly Field, Texas, has been constructed with the assistance of the Department of Psychology. Professor C. Derleth, Jr., Mr. T. C. Wiskocil and Mr. J. R. Shields have conducted 250 separate tests of aeroplane materials in the testing laboratories, under the supervision of government inspectors. Charles Gilman Hyde, Professor of Sanitary Engineering, served as a member of the Engineering Commission appointed to design sanitary works for Camp Fremont, and later became a Major in the Army Sanitary Corps. Mr. Edwin D. Hayward, an instructor in the department, is First Lieutenant in the Army Sanitary Corps, and Adolphus James Eddy, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, is Captain in the Coast Artillery Corps.
Beginning with the academic year 1918-19, the College of Civil Engineering will administer a four-year curriculum in Military Engineering, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for admission to the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The department recommends that professorships in architectural engineering and surveying be established; that the property of the Summer School of Surveying on which the lease expires in April, 1919, be purchased immediately; and that rooms to meet the necessary expansion of some of the sub-departments be provided.
The Department of Engineering of the State Board of Health continues to maintain offices and laboratories in the Civil Engineering Building.
Drawing and Art
The number of students enrolled in courses in art has been equal that of the preceding year; the work has been carried on with few changes in policy. In courses in engineering drawing intended mainly for students of engineering and architecture, there has been a marked decrease in enrollment. The effect has been to increase the efficiency of instruction, which has been largely individual.
Economics
The war has reduced somewhat the student registration in courses in this department. Many members of the faculty have been granted leaves of absence to enter the service of the government, and the department has made temporary appointments in order to continue its usual courses of instruction.
Finance, labor, foreign exchange, and problems confronting the rail-roads in wartime have been the subjects upon which special emphasis has been placed. Courses in marketing, economic theory, and in accounting have been added to the curriculum.
An Ordnance School for men enlisted in the United States army was organized and administered most successfully by Professor H. R. Hatfield, Professor S. Daggett, and other members of the department. A Red Cross Training School for Home Service was also conducted.
Members of the staff who have been granted leaves of absence to engage in war activities include Professor L. Hutchinson; Head of the Export Division of the War Trade Board; Professor C. E. Brooks, Actuary and Adviser to the United States Bureau of War Risk Insurance during the first semester, and Professor J. B. Peixotto, Executive Chairman of the Child Welfare Department of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. Professor Hatfield, Professor I. B. Cross, and Mr. F. R. Macaulay and Mr. E. A. Kincaid assisted the government in investigations connected with the ship-building programme. Professor C. C. Plehn attended war finance meetings in Atlanta and Chicago and wrote a number of papers on the war.
Members of the department have continued their work of research and publication.
The new members on the staff were Mr. Herbert Shuey, Mr. William Leslie, Mr. Victor Montgomery, Dr. Horace B. Drury of Ohio State University, and Dr. Solomon Blum of Colorado College.
Education
The past year has been one of substantial progress in this department. The number of students in higher degree classes has been greater than ever before, a fact which obviously points to the need for more courses of the seminar type. The total of enrollments fell slightly below that of the preceding year, and the proportion of men students declined.
The higher professional degree established two years ago is becoming the objective of an increasing number of ambitious teachers. Upon the recommendation of the School of Education, the Senate has required all candidates for teachers' certificates to furnish satisfactory evidence of good health and of an adequate command of oral English. The increase in the number of candidates has made it necessary to provide for increased opportunities for practice teaching. During the year the number of cadet teachers has equaled 165.
The department welcomes the prospect of an enlarged staff because of the broader opportunity that will be offered trained men and women, through educational leadership, for grappling effectively with problems arising out of this period of stress. In order to accelerate the development of the School of Education into a professional school fully recognized as such, a faculty of experts in some field of pure scholarship and in the theory and art of education is necessary. Each department whose subject calls for representation in the School of Education should have on its staff at least one member specially trained for such representation.
The School of Education should be provided with a special budget for publications in order to promote the educational interests of the state through circulars, bibliographies, bulletins, pamphlets and suitable monographs.
English
The most significant change brought by the past year was the adoption of a plan for dealing in a more positive and constructive way with students whose English is defective. This plan stipulates that Subject A beginning with August 1919 “shall be prescribed as an entrance examination for all entrants to the colleges at Berkeley,” and provides instruction in certin specified courses for those who pass Subject A with grades 1, 2, or 3 respectively. Students who receive grade 4 or 5 in Subject A are conditioned in the subject, and will not be granted the Junior Certificate until they have passed the examination. A course in English composition is offered for them also, calling for one period of class instruction per week, together with written exercises and conferences, until they have passed Subject A. This course carries no credit. For students who enter with advanced standing Subject A is a requirement for junior standing. This examination will be administered under the direction of
Professor C. M. Gayley, Head of the Department and Dean of the Faculties, has been in the service of the Liberty Loan Committee of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, the Pacific Coast Division of the American Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the State Council of Defense, and other patriotic organizations. He has delivered many addresses and written numerous articles on war subjects. Professor W. M. Hart, Professor B. P. Kurtz, Professor T. F. Sanford, Professor H. E. Cory, Dr. A. G. Brodeur, and Mr. G. R. MacMinn have contributed articles and delivered addresses towards the winning of the war.
During the past year, seventy-eight students have been reported, for various deficiencies in English, to the University Committee on Students' English. This number shows a decrease of forty-two from the number reported during the previous year, and implies either a falling-off in the co-operation of other departments or a marked improvement in the English expression of University students. That the latter is the case the department has not yet sufficient proof.
In order to distinguish more carefully the work for the teachers' recommendation from that for the higher degrees, the courses in English Philology have been entirely rearranged and considerably altered in character. The fundamental courses have been at once simplified and broadened in scope with a view to furnishing appropriate training and more comprehensive information for teachers. The other courses have been segregated, placed in alternate groups, and more strictly specialized, with a view to affording fuller opportunity for graduate work of a higher order.
The members of the department conducted, during the fall semester, a series of public readings in English literature, in pursuance of the policy which achieved successful results during the preceding year.
The problem of providing sufficient instruction for freshmen students has grown increasingly acute. There is still a need for more sections and more instructors.
Geography
To meet the demands of the war emergency, this department has instituted a course in the geography of Europe and an optional course for students in the Naval Reserve.
The enrollment in Elementary Meteorology has decreased following the decision that the subject is of too specialized a nature to count as a prescribed science course. The enrollment in other elementary courses has shown a slight increase. The attendance in courses in the upper division has decreased.
Geology and Mineralogy
Under the auspices of the State Council of Defense, this department has instituted an investigation of the deposits of manganese and chrome ore throughout California, for the purpose of ascertaining the possible supply of these ores and of stimulating their production for war use. Professor G. D. Louderback, who is in charge of the investigation, has effected co-operative arrangements with the United States Bureau of Mines and the United States Geological Survey. E. F. Davis, instructor in the department, and a group of graduate students have been assisting Professor Louderback. Field work was vigorously prosecuted during the vacation period. In addition to benefits of an economic nature arising out of the investigation, much has been learned regarding the genesis of these ores that is of great interest from a purely scientific point of view.
Six geological memoirs, embodying the results of investigations carried on by members of the staff and by graduate students, have been prepared, five of which have been published.
The space in Bacon Hall continues to be inadequate for the work of the department, and it has been necessary to give lectures in geology in another building, remote from the illustrative material necessary for proper instruction.
German
The outstanding feature of the past year in the work of the Department of German has been the sharp decline in enrollment due to the war with Germany. Compared with the preceding year, 1916-17, the enrollment fell off, in the first semester, 27 per cent, and, in the second semester, 44 per cent. The enrollment was as follows: 1916-17, first semester, 1228, second semester, 1178; 1917-18, first semester, 896; second semester, 670. The highest previous enrollment was that of 1913-14, when the figures were, respectively, 1312 and 1244.
Greek
Professor E. B. Clapp, for twenty-five years Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of California, has retired from active teaching because of failing health and has been named Professor Emeritus. Dr. George Miller Calhoun has been appointed Assistant Professor of Greek, and in 1918-19 the department will be further strengthened by the appointment of Dr. Roger M. Jones as instructor.
With the increase in the size of classes for beginners in Greek, it has become necessary to add more sections. The work of these classes has been rendered far more effective through the use of Professor James T. Allen's “First Year of Greek,” published in 1917. The department has definitely adopted the policy of providing instruction in as many phases of Greek civilization as possible for students who do not take up the study of the Greek language.
History
The establishment of a course in Naval History given by Professor Henry Morse Stephens and Dr. K. C. Leebrick, was the direct outgrowth of the war and the consequent demand for naval instruction. The course is based upon instruction given at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and has been approved by the authorities there. A course on the History of the Military Organization of the United States was given during the first semester by Captain Curtis O'Sullivan.
In the work of research and publication the record of the department exceeds that of previous years. Important additions have been made to the “Publications in History,” which are now in the tenth volume. Through the labor of Professor H. E. Bolton and Dr. C. W. Hackett, Professor Gittinger's book, “The Formation of the State of Oklahoma,” (Vol. VII) has been issued and has been most favorably received. Dr. Davidson's “History of the Northwest Company” (Vol. VIII), Dr. Cunningham's “Audiencia in the Spanish Colonies” (Vol. IX) are in page proof, and Mr. Albright's “Federal Explorations for Transcontinental Railroads” is in galley proof. Awaiting publication are Dr. Hackett's “The Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico, 1680,” “The Manila Galleon,” the work of Dr. Schurz, Dr. Coy's “The Historical Development of the Humboldt Bay Region,” Dr. Neff's “The Mormon Migration to Utah,” and several lesser papers. Without the efficient aid of Dr. Hackett, this large amount of editorial work would have been impossible; his going to the University of New Mexico as Professor of History is a serious loss to the department.
Other publications by members of the department include a two-volume work published by Professor Bolton, entitled “Father Kino's Historical Memoir of the Southwest,” a rare and important manuscript which he discovered in the archives of Mexico, and Professor L. J. Paetow's “Guide to the Study of Medieval History,” a work which has received the highest commendation from scholars in this special field and which represents many years of labor. For the excellence of typography and careful proof-reading, this book, the product of the University of California Press, has been commented upon in many reviews. The second Loubat prize was awarded to Professor H. I. Priestley for his recent volume on José de Galvez. Volumes by Professor C. E. Chapman awaiting publication are on the documentary material preserved at Seville, Spain, on California history and on the history of Spain.
Mention should be made of the service rendered by the Native Sons of the Golden West in maintaining fellowships for research in California History, and of the generosity of Senator James D. Phelan in contributing funds necessary to print the Proceedings of the First Vigilance Committee of San Francisco, which will be issued next year. Excellent work has also been done by the California Historical Survey Commission, of
Professor Leebrick's course in the United States School of Vocational Training will form the basis of the general course on war aims to be given next year for members of the Students' Army Training Corps.
Professor J. J. Van Nostrand of the University of Pennsylvania has been appointed to succeed Professor R. F. Scholz, who goes to the University of Washington.
Home Economics
While the war has brought many new and important problems to both divisions of this department, the regularly organized work has not been interfered with. Ten war courses were conducted by the Division of Household Art, including courses on clothing, house furnishing and management, textiles, and teaching methods. Opportunity was offered for research work.
During the special term in the summer of 1917, war courses were given on the renovation and remodelling of garments for civilian relief, the making of hospital garments and comfort bags, and the preparation of surgical dressings.
Co-operation with the Women's Bureau of the American Red Cross in San Francisco was brought about through tests and analyses made by the textile class of samples of wool yarn and wool substitutes submitted by manufacturers to the Women's Bureau for knitting.
The work of the Household Science Division is divided into three fields: the development of research in nutrition, food preparation and food analysis; the training of teachers of household science; and the training of dietitians for hospitals and other institutions. In addition to this work the division has co-operated with numerous institutions and agencies.
In the Summer Session of 1917, a course in dietetics for nurses planning to take up public health work was instituted. In the second semester, a course was offered in food and dietetics, for the training of University women who plan to enter nurses' training schools. These courses will be repeated next year. Three Food Administration courses sent from Washington were given in their entirety to 760 students. Five dietary surveys were carried out under the direction of the division at the request of the Home Economics Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture, while to meet the increasing demands for assistance in solving house-keeping problems, a series of war emergency bulletins has been issued in mimeographed form. Six classes of twenty members each have been certificated by the Red Cross after instruction given in this division. Further co-operative work along these lines should be carried on.
Co-operation with the University Hospital is necessary for the standardization of the training and duties of the hospital dietitian. To this end, the establishment of an internship of one year for graduates of this division is proposed, with the title of Graduate Dietitian to be given upon its completion.
Hygiene
During the past year a combined academic and nursing curriculum for women was outlined by the University and approved by the Bureau of Registration of Nurses of the State Board of Health. A student following the curriculum may enter the second year of the University of California Hospital Training School for Nurses at the end of her third year of academic residence. After two years in the nursing school she may receive her Bachelor of Science degree from the University and at the same time be eligible to appear for the state examination for registration as a nurse. The effect of the new curriculum will be to increase the vocational opportunities for students in public health subjects. Health departments have long been willing to accept women graduates as laboratory workers, but have preferred graduate nurses for health visitors. The department is now in a position to offer this choice to students at the end of the third year, either to continue with the laboratory phase of public health, or to spend two years in the training school for nurses and then return for a graduate course in public health nursing.
The appointment of Mr. Robert N. Hoyt, State Health Officer for the Central Coast District, as Lecturer in Public Health has provided a long-sought-for opportunity for the addition to the course in health surveys of practical field work under a health official. Under Mr. Hoyt's direction, students have made health surveys of Alameda, Richmond, San Leandro, Hayward, San Mateo, Palo Alto, and Los Gatos. Class excursions were also made to San Jose, Palo Alto, and Camp Fremont.
The course in public health laboratory work has been put on a year basis, one semester being devoted to communicable diseases and one to the examination of air, water, milk, disinfectants, etc.
Irrigation
The Department of Irrigation has continued to develop instruction in irrigation engineering; agricultural use of water; irrigation institutions, water codes and economics; drainage, especially of water-logged, irrigated lands; and operation and maintenance of irrigation systems. The courses are planned primarily to meet the needs of students in the Colleges of Civil Engineering and Agriculture. Four undergraduate courses and one graduate course are primarily for students in the College of Civil Engineering; four undergraduate courses are primarily for students in the College of Agriculture, and one undergraduate and two graduate
The department offers more complete instruction in irrigation than is given in any other university or college; this is generally recognized by students, who come to the University of California from foreign countries and from other states. During the past year students in the department included one from Peru, one from Siam, and one from South Africa.
Owing to war conditions, the department has answered by correspondence an increased number of requests for assistance in the development and use of water for irrigation purposes on frams.
A textbook on the “Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation Systems,” by Professor S. T. Harding, was published during the year, and has been favorably commented upon in book reviews appearing in a number of engineering journals. Professor Harding's book, with three volumes on “Irrigation Practice and Engineering” by Professor B. A. Etcheverry of the department, and a volume on the “Elements of Western Water Laws” by A. E. Chandler, President of the State Water Commission and a former member of the department, form the basis for instruction in the various phases of irrigation.
Jurisprudence
The enrollment in the School of Jurisprudence has decreased through the withdrawal of students entering war service. One hundred and twenty-eight students have gone directly from Boalt Hall into the service of the government. Of the 153 graduates of the school, fifty-three are in the national service.
Members of the faculty who are engaged in war work include Professor A. M. Kidd, with the Red Cross in France; Dr. J. U. Calkins, First Lieutenant in the American Expeditionary Force in France; Mr. H. H. Phleger, Ensign, U. S. N., assigned to the U.S.S. Beal; Mr. M. W. Dobrzensky, Second Lieutenant in the 12th Infantry, Camp Fremont; Mr. M. Wahrhaftig, in the office of Brigadier General Hugh S. Johnson, Washington, D.C.; Professor A. T. Wright, Counsel for the United States Shipping Board and the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation,
A distinguished record in the national service has been achieved by Hugh S. Johnson, one of the graduates of the School of Jurisprudence. Mr. Johnson, a West Point graduate, was detailed in 1914 by the War Department to take a course in law at the University of California. He received the degree of Juris Doctor in 1916. He has since risen from the rank of First Lieutenant to that of Brigadier General, and has been appointed Director of the Purchases and Supply Branch of the National Division of Purchase, Storage and Traffic, which has to do with the consolidation and co-ordination of the work of the five supply bureaus of the War Department in the matter of requirements, purchase and production.
Latin
The decrease in the number of students in the Department of Latin was slight. The total enrollment was 961, as compared with a total enrollment in the academic year of 1916-17 of 1012. Six hundred and forty-two students were enrolled in the classes in the lower division, 282 in the classes in the upper division and 37 in the graduate courses.
Chief in importance among the works by members of the staff published during the year is the edition of Lucretius' “De Rerum Natura” by Professor William A. Merrill. This work appeared twelve years after Professor Merrill's annotated edition. It is unquestionably one of the most important contributions to the study of Lucretius that has appeared in this country.
Two members of the department were appointed associate deans of the Summer Session: Professor Leon J. Richardson, to serve in Berkeley, and Professor M. E. Deutsch, in Los Angeles. Profesor Richardson has been serving as Manager of the Military Information Office established at the University. Three other members of the department have been associated with him in the work.
Mathematics
The demand for advanced courses in mathematics during the Summer Session has grown steadily during the past year. The department urges a special appropriation to meet the demand and emphasizes the need of supplying properly qualified teachers of mathematics in the California high schools.
The decrease in enrollment during the past year, compared with the preceding year, was 11 per cent during the first semester and 16 2/3 per cent during the second semester. The decrease was especially marked in the upper and graduate divisions. In spite of this fact, however, eight students were graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in mathematics, four qualified for the Master of Arts degree and three for
There were several changes in the staff of the department. Professor L. E. Dickson of the University of Chicago was appointed visiting professor for the first half-year. Professor D. N. Lehmer taught during the summer quarter at the University of Chicago, and Professor E. R. Hedrick of the University of Missouri gave some interesting courses during the Summer Session at this University. Dr. H. N. Wright resigned his instructorship in the department to become Professor of Mathematics and Dean of Whittier College. Dr. Pauline Sperry, formerly Assistant Professor at Smith College, was appointed instructor for the year.
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
The plans of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering during the past year have of necessity been altered to meet the requirements of the war. In the upper division courses, less than half the number of students registered in the academic year of 1916-17 were enrolled. In all of the prescribed courses in the lower division, however, the student enrollment equalled or exceeded that of previous years.
At the close of commencement exercises in May, 1917, the department instituted the University of California United States Shipping Board School. Only two of ten similar shipping board schools in the country have surpassed the record of this school in the number of students enrolled and in the number of trained men who have qualified as steamboat inspectors and entered the government Merchant Marine Service.
Throughout the year, courses have been conducted in automobile engineering, electrical engineering, naval preparation, marine engineering and naval architecture.
Instruction in the department has been closely allied wtih the work of the School of Military Aeronautics at the University. Professor B. M. Woods is President of the Academic Board of the Aeronautical School, and Professor B. F. Raber has directed the work in the power division of the school.
Four members of the staff of the department are commissioned officers in the Army and one holds a commission as Lieutenant in the Navy.
The installation of equipment and the enlargement of the mechanical and power engineering laboratories during the past two years have been of great value in giving the engineering courses demanded by war requirements, and have made possible investigation and research work directly related to important motive power problems. The department, however, is in need of laboratory facilities for use in marine engineering and naval architecture. The magnitude of the shipping and shipbuilding interests in California make it imperative that this need be met.
Military Science and Tactics
New courses for the instruction of members of the unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps established at the University of California in April, 1917, have been instituted by this department during the past year, in accordance with the requirements of the War Department. No changes in the organization of the University Cadets have been deemed necessary. Captain L. M. Welch, U. S. A. retired, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, reports that the work of both officers and cadets has been very satisfactory.
Mining and Metallurgy
The enrollment in the College of Mining showed a decided increase over recent years and there is every reason to expect larger classes in the future. To improve facilities for instruction, extensive changes have been made in remodelling and equipping the laboratories. These changes in a large measure were made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst. A new balance room and a metallurgical laboratory have thus been provided, in addition to thoroughly equipped laboratories for fire and wet assaying, for instruction in the mechanics of mining, and for the study of problems of drainage and pumping in connection with mines. In the smelting and draft rooms much necessary equipment has been installed and interesting exhibits have been arranged. Apparatus and devices supplied during the past year by Mr. F. W. Bradley, the Joshua Hendy Iron Works, and the Standard Oil Company are of value in their several fields.
A new laboratory for petroleum engineering, well equipped with proper apparatus for the study of problems incident to the fuel and oil industry, have been established. The Department of Petroleum Engineering is attracting not only students of the College of Mining but of other colleges as well.
In October, 1917, the rescue car of the Federal Bureau of Mines visited Berkeley and the upper classmen in the College of Mining were given instruction in the use of oxygen breathing apparatus, and in mine rescue and first-aid work. The Lawson Adit, now advanced to a total of 400 feet of underground openings, permitted a duplication of conditions attendant upon mine fires and gaseous workings, besides affording exceptional opportunities for experience in other phases of actual mining work. Senior students collaborated in government work through the Berkeley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, which has continued to solve important metallurgical problems relating to emergency metals and war work.
It is gratifying to note the entrance of advanced students and alumni of the College of Mining into the Graduate School. For the first time in the history of the college, the degrees of Metallurgical Engineer and Mining Engineer were conferred on graduate students.
Work in the College of Mining and Metallurgy is well organized now, and the equipment in the laboratories of mining and petroleum engineering is excellent. The remodelling of the metallurgical plant, and the installing of more up-to-date equipment, are highly desirable, and it is hoped that this may be accomplished during the year.
Music
This department has endeavored to give special attention to training prospective teachers of music in methods, selection and use of teaching material, general musicianship and history of music and music teaching. The effort has been made to co-ordinate these subjects with their complementary courses in the Department of Education. The department notes with pleasure the success of its graduates in the teaching field. The aims and methods of the high schools and those of this department are being steadily brought in more close co-ordination.
During the past year 278 students have been enrolled in courses in the lower division and fifty-nine in courses in the upper division. One hundred and five students were enrolled in extension courses and thirty-nine in correspondence courses.
An illustrated course on the history of music was instituted and the public was invited to attend. The attendance was unexpectedly large. Lectures in special fields of interest in the study of music have been offered the general public, as well as the University public, by visiting musicians. Several noteworthy concerts have been given, through the co-operation of Choragus Paul Steindorff and the Musical and Dramatic Committee of the University.
Gifts to the department include a viola da gamba, from Mr. Paul Steindorff, and a large collection of chamber music, from the Messrs. Mundwyler.
The most pressing needs of the department are for a larger staff and for a more modern building.
Oriental Languages and Literature
The interest in courses throwing light upon affairs in the Orient is on the increase at the University of California, and the need for ample facilities for such courses has been evinced during the past year in the work of this department. Good progress has been made by the department in the instruction of Japanese and Chinese students. With Mr. Kiang in charge, a series of lectures on subjects pertaining to the Orient has been given in San Francisco, under the direction of the Extension Division of the University.
Palaeontology
The war has brought about a decrease in student enrollment in this department. It is doubtful if there will be any graduate students this year. Professor J. C. Merriam's time has been largely
Notwithstanding these activities, a great deal of valuable research work has been accomplished by members of the staff and by students working under their direction, and several publications setting forth the results are either now in print or on the press.
During May and June, Dr. Clark, with a party of students, made a trip through the coast ranges of southern California to study the various Eocene sections. Important results were obtained and will be published later.
Philosophy
The enrollment of students, both in the elementary and advanced courses, continues steadily to increase. It is now necessary to give most of the courses in Philosophy outside of the Philosophy Building. The resulting disadvantage of no longer having a building adequate to the needs of the department has been offset by the gain in having classes meet near the library and the center of the humanistic departments of the University.
The various courses have dealt freely with the fundamental issues of life and conduct which the war has presented, and with the problems of social and political reconstruction after the war. Professor Ralph Barton Perry of Harvard University, Mills Lecturer in Philosophy for the second half-year, gave a course on “The Philosophical Background of the War.”
Valuable contributions to the federal government of otherwise unobtainable apparatus for psychological investigations at the Signal Corps Aviation School, Rockwell Field, and at Camp Lewis, have been made from the psychological laboratory. Members of the laboratory staff and students devoted several weeks to experiments and computations in connection with the tests for the Air Service devised by Professor G. M. Sratton. Rooms and apparatus were provided for use by the Personnel Unit detailed to make tests in examining cadets in the School of Military Aeronautics. The course in General Psychology was revised to meet the needs of students in the Students' Army Training Corps unit. At the close of the academic year, C. I. Lewis, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, enlisted in the Coast Artillery Corps, later receiving a commission.
The psychological clinics maintained by the department, in conjunction with the Department of Pediatrics of the Medical School, continue to perform a useful service to the community. Members of the department are acting as consulting psychologists to the San Francisco Board of Health in its work in the schools, and to the State Board of Health at the Preston School of Industry. There is a pressing need for more space
Physical Education for Men
The activities of this department were organized four years ago on what is now known nationally as a “war basis.” The aim has been to assist men in attaining a minimum set standard of physical proficiency. The effectiveness of the course of training has been given official recognition, the University of California having been cited by the United States Commissioner of Education for adopting a system of physical education similar to that approved by the War Department for all colleges and universities. The department during the past year has had charge of the department of organized sports for the School of Military Aeronautics.
Intramural sports have been promoted systematically and an effort has been made to interest the leaders in student affairs in student promotion of such sports. The facilities of the University, however, are entirely inadequate for such general student participation, a condition which will be aggravated this year by increased military activity on the campus. More ground area, properly surfaced, should be provided and at least ten handball courts should be built.
The testing of the physical capability of students, as a guide for arranging their work in this department, has led to the awarding of the University gold, silver, and bronze medals for “all around athletic championship.” These medals were awarded to the three men attaining the highest records in health, general ability, ability in personal combat, ability in swimming, etc.
The department is engaged in research work of various kinds. Problems under investigation include proper classification on a basis of efficiency tests; photographic recording and measuring of physical defects; correction of flatfoot and other physical defects through exercise; development of new forms of physical training games and exercises of military importance; reconstruction methods and equipment for wounded soldiers.
Plans for various military schools offering specialized training at the University indicate that a heavy demand will be made upon the accommodations for bathing and dressing in Harmon Gymnasium. It is urged that alterations in the gymnasium be made in the immediate future.
Physical Education for Women
Since the passage of Senate Bill No. 559 in 1917 making physical education compulsory in all schools in the state, there has been an urgent demand for well-trained teachers in this
The Orthopedic Clinic at the Medical School, which is supervised by the Department of Physical Education for Women, affords students in major courses the use of a laboratory for practical experience in corrective gymnastics. A similar opportunity is afforded through clinical work and practice teaching in the public schools.
The work prescribed by the department is aimed to meet the peculiar needs of the individual student and, with this end in view, is carefully graded. Physical examinations are given each student upon entrance, and at the end of the second and fourth semesters. Special sections are arranged for those in need of lighter work or corrective gymnastics; and there are two special classes, or clinics, for students who are not able to accomplish satisfactory work in the regular classes. A rest room with two cots has been established for students whose physical condition makes urgent a rest period in place of active work in the gymnasium.
During the past year, an excellent system of reference for use by this department and the Infirmary has been perfected, through which cases of illness, weakness or disability are followed in common by both departments to insure proper treatment being administered.
In accordance with the policy of past years, student athletic activities have been coached by members of the staff of the department, and the management of sports has remained in the hands of the students. The department has provided a coach for tennis. It is hoped that this year a member of the staff will be available to coach fencing, for this is the only sport that has not been coached by a department member.
With the increasing enrollment, a new fireproof gymnasium with adequate offices, examining, lecture and rest rooms, and with an athletic field near-by, has become a pressing need.
Physics
The decrease during the past year in the number of students in the engineering, upper division and graduate courses in this department was largely offset by an increased enrollment of pre-medical students and of students electing courses in physics. The crowding of the laboratories resulting from an increase in the number of pre-medical students has made alterations in South Hall necessary.
Dr. W. P. Roop and Dr. L. F. Jones, both members of the staff of the department, have entered the naval and military service, respectively. Dr. A. S. King, Director of the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory physical laboratory, served as lecturer in physics during the second term.
One mechanician in the department was occupied almost entirely in government work for the School of Military Aeronautics.
Professor Frederick Slate retired at the end of the year after twenty-seven years of distinguished service as administrator and teacher.
Political Science
The war has affected both the staff personnel and the student enrollment in this department. Professor David P. Barrows was granted a commission as major from the first Reserve Officers' Training Camp at the San Francisco Presidio, and is now on duty in Siberia. Dr. J. R. Douglas left the University after the first semester to enter the government service in Washington, D.C. He is at present connected with the Baking Division of the United States Food Administration. Mr. J. R. Thomas and Dr. Morris Lavine, teaching fellows, entered the aviation service and the Navy, respectively.
Courses given by the department which have a direct bearing on the war included a course, during the second semester, on “Problems of Reconstruction After the War,” under the direction of Dr. William MacDonald, formerly Professor of American History at Brown University; a course on “The Government of Germany and Prussia” and a course on “French Political Institutions,” by Dr. L. Ehrlich, and a course on international law by Professor E. Elliott. Seminars were conducted for the study of some of the most important questions affecting political science that have been raised by the war. Professor Elliott, Dr. Ehrlich, and Dr. MacDonald offered ten public lectures on war topics, delivered thirty-five lectures and addresses throughout the state on similar subjects and published numerous articles on the war.
Public Speaking
Half of the former staff of the Department of Public Speaking are in the United States military service; the remaining members, in addition to carrying on their regular academic duties, are contributing to the national service in various ways. The department has assisted in the training and supervision of Four-Minute Men and of speakers bringing home to the citizens of the state the necessity of food conservation. Actors taking part in plays for the benefit of the Red Cross and the Belgium Relief Fund have been trained by members of the department. Readings and recitals, often under the auspices of local committees in charge of entertainments for soldiers, have constituted a part of the war work of both members of the staff and students.
Romanic Languages
This department is devoting much of its energy to the development of a system whereby all courses in the upper division will be conducted, in so far as is practicable, in the foreign idiom. The system provides for such instruction in courses in the lower division as will make for greater facility in speaking the romanic languages. The classes have, as usual, been large in size.
There have been a number of changes in the staff of the department. Professor Leslie M. Turner enlisted in the national service; his place was taken temporarily by Mr. L. Barnier. Miss Caroline B. Singleton returned to the department after a year of study at Columbia University. Professor Ramon Jaen has been appointed Assistant Professor of Spanish. Dr. Malbone Watson Graham has taken up the duties of Dr. Robert S. Rose. Mr. O. Ronchi, a graduate of the University of Bologna, has succeeded Mr. Emilio Goggio, Instructor in Italian, who accepted an appointment at the University of Washington.
Mr. Juan C. Cebrian of San Francisco has continued to enrich the University Library through gifts of numerous volumes of valuable books of great interest to this department.
Sanskrit
The Department of Sanskrit has continued in its effort to spread some knowledge of the masterpieces of Ancient Indian thought by lectures both without and within the University.
Semitic Languages
Thirty students were enrolled in lecture courses, and nine in language courses, in this department during the year. Two graduate students trained by the department hold fellowships at Columbia University. A paper by one of them, Mr. Louis I. Newman, is included in the volume, “Studies in Biblical Parallelism” by Professor W. Popper and Mr. Newman, one of the publications issued in observance of the Semicentenary of the University of California.
Slavic Languages
As a result of the appointment of three assistants in the Department of Slavic Lanuages--Mr. A. S. Kaun, Assistant in Russian Languages; Mr. M. Krunich, Assistant in Serbo-Croatian Languages; and Miss Z. Buben, Assistant in Bohemian Languages--the department has been able during the past year to give a greater variety of courses than heretofore. Instruction was given in the Russian, Polish, Bohemian, Serbo-Croatian and Old Bulgarian languages, and lecture courses were given on Russian novelists, Slavic literature, and on the political institutions of Russia.
One hundred and forty-four students were enrolled during the year, fifty-one of whom were enrolled in language courses. The total enrollment during the preceding year was ninety-four.
Zoology A list of gifts to the department of zoology will be found on p. 201.
During the past year, 1374 students were enrolled in this department, an increase of 149 over the preceding year.
The department has co-operated with the State Board of Health in numerous examinations for intestinal parasites, particularly the hook-worm, and has assisted in the attempt to rid certain areas of the state of this parasite. Important work has been carried on in conjunction with investigations of the State Council of Defense.
Researches in comparative anatomy, embryology, protozoology, parasitology, and animal behavior have been carried on.
Dr. A. L. Barrows and Dr. C. A. Kofoid, members of the staff of the department, have entered the military service. Dr. Kofoid is in charge of work in parasitology in the military cantonments in the south. Mr. Ellis Michael of the Scripps Institution of Biological Research, during the second semester, gave courses formerly given by Professor W. E. Ritter. Mr. C. V. Taylor, acting instructor in the absence of Dr. Kofoid, has been conducting the course on the biological examination of water.

Alumni Secretary
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit the report of the Secretary of the California Alumni Association for the year ending June 30, 1918.
The past year has been one of unusual opportunity as well as one of unusual difficulty for the Alumni Association. The war has altered the work of the Association as it has the work of every individual and organization. It has completely banished certain phases of our work and created entirely new phases; it has taken away many of our members and has given us new ones. But there have been opportunities and there is promise of many more, should we be able to seize them.
The programme of the Council for the past year has been to promote the value of the Association in meeting military demands, to carry on the regular, sane and steady life and routine of the Association in spite of war-time difficulties, and to aid the government through the Military Bureau. This programme has been executed so far as the capacity of the staff and the funds have permitted.
From June to December of the past year the Alumni Association underwent a series of changes which considerably interrupted the normal activities of the Association, as well as the normal routine of the Secretary's office. Harvey Roney, secretary from September, 1915, to May, 1917, was given a leave of absence to attend the first officers' training camp at the Presidio, after which he obtained a commission and was assigned to duty
The annual football banquet took place this year, with an attendance of 160. It was successful, though not attended as largely as in previous years.
On the success of the semicentenary observance was centered the efforts of the Council. The Council felt that the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the University should be made a happy and profitable one for every alumnus, as indeed it proved to be. The value to each alumnus who came through hearing the lectures, attending the conferences, and through the reassociation with old friends and classmates, can hardly be estimated. Seven hundred and two alumni registered at the alumni headquarters during Semicentenary Week. One hundred and fifty-one attended the Charter Day luncheon. The Charter Day banquet, which has come to be considered a fixed feature of the University Charter Day celebration, was given this year as the final event of the Semicentenary. The attendance numbered 650 this year as compared with 387 in 1917. Twenty-two classes held reunion luncheons and dinners during the Semicentenary Week.
The war again has made inroads on our membership lists. There are 3550 members of the Alumni Association and 3600 subscribers, as compared with 3328 members in 1917 and 3857 subscribers, making an increase of 222 members and a decrease of 257 subscribers. While friends and relatives have in a number of cases been carrying the Association accounts of the men in the service, we have been asked to cancel the accounts of many
The Military Bureau, established by the Alumni Association a few weeks after the declaration of war, has grown to many times its original capacity. There is now on file in the office information concerning approximately 4000 applicants. The Bureau has received at least 250 calls and has made 378 nominations for specific positions during the months of February, March and April. Three thousand four hundred and four telephone calls have been sent in and out of the office; 22,506 pieces of mail have been handled and at least 5216 people have come to the office during the last three months.
Until December of 1917 the entire cost of the Bureau was borne by the Alumni Office and the entire work, with the exception of that carried on by Director L. J. Richardson, was handled by members of the Alumni Office. In December, however, an appropriation for the support of the Bureau was made by the Board of Regents. The work of the Alumni Office is now so closely interwoven with the work of the Military Bureau that it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. The scope of the work bears promise of becoming more extensive than ever, as the war progresses.
The Employment Bureau has been temporarily merged into the Military Bureau, since war calls have taken precedence over all others and few men are listed for other than government positions. After the war, the machinery of the Military Bureau, and the vast amount of information it has on hand, will be utilized in the establishment of an after-the-war employment bureau for men returning to civilian life.
Another work undertaken by the Alumni Association this year is the compilation of the Honor Roll and the War Record. There is on file in the office, available to everyone, information concerning University of California men in the service. A great
As to future plans, there is much of value that can be done: To further the interests of the government by putting every possible effort into the Military Bureau; to maintain an accurate history of the men in service, as a permanent record; to put forth a Fortnightly that will be read with eagerness by our sons in the service; to keep to the reasonable and normal path; and to gain strength and influence by gaining strength in numbers--these are the plans of the Alumni Council.
Appointment Secretary
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith my report, covering the period from July 1, 1917, to July 1, 1918:
| Number of visitors . . . . . | 9,012 |
| Number of candidates for positions on file . . . . . | 1,834 |

| Letters sent out . . . . . | 17,050 |
Art--California School of Fine Arts
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the California School of Fine Arts (San Francisco Institute of Art) for the academic year 1917-18.
The addition of several important courses to the curriculum last year, and the developing and strengthening of all departments of the School, have resulted this year in a decided increase in attendance, as well as a marked improvement in the general results obtained from all classes. This has been manifested especially in the better coördination of various branches of the school work, leading to a closer harmony in the presentation of subjects given in different departments.
The aim of the School, which has been enthusiastically maintained, is directed towards the development of highest art ideals; a knowledge of what art is and the principles which govern its expression, combined with the practical training that will equip students with the necessary technique to give these ideals expression and make these principles operative in their work. The enrollment during the past year has been the largest in the history of the School.
The interest shown in the Night School classes in Drawing and Painting has been such that it was decided to continue the night school work without interruption through the vacation periods.
An interesting and instructive course of lectures was given during the second term on Art History and Art Appreciation
At the close of the year 14 yearly scholarships were awarded by the faculty for excellent work, including three given in the annual competition open to high school students of California.
Two members of the faculty resigned to enter the army service and another to go east, necessitating changes in the teaching staff of the School.
The Summer Session now in progress has a large enrollment from California and from adjacent states.
Dentistry--College of Dentistry
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the Dental School for the year 1917-18.
War conditions have brought about changes which are necessary in maintaining and improving the course of instruction. The faculty, staff and students have earnestly coöperated in adapting themselves to these changes.
On October 6, 1917, Congress amended the Selective Service Act by placing dental students in the same class as medical students, allowing them to complete their course of study under certain conditions by enlisting in the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps. This recognition of dentistry as a part of medical science, and the creation of a Dental Corps in the United States Army on practically the same basis as the Medical Corps, are regarded as signifying universal approbation of the progress dentistry has made in recent years.
Through enlistment, the College of Dentistry lost the following members of its staff:
- John A. Marshall, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Dental Pathology--Captain, Ordnance Department (on war leave).
- George R. Hubbell, Instructor in Radiography--Captain, Medical Reserve Corps (resigned).
- Malcolm Goddard, Instructor in Comparative Odontology--Dental Surgeon, Base Hospital No. 30, France (on war leave).
- Clark R. Giles, Instructor in Anesthesia--Dental Surgeon, Base Hospital No. 30, France (on war leave).
- Dr. Stanley L. Dod, Instructor in Dental Pathology--Officers' Training Camp, Presidio (resigned).
- Homer L. Sams, Instructor in Extraction--Dental Surgeon, U.S.A. (resigned).
- Fred Wolfsohn, Assistant in Orthodontia--Dental Surgeon. U.S.N. (on war leave).
The Dean of the College of Dentistry served as Preliminary Examiner for dental surgeons enlisting in the Dental Reserve Corps, and as Director of the Preparedness League of American Dentists for Northern California, which has rendered gratuitous service to all drafted men and recruits to the extent of many thousands of operations. Professor E. H. Mauk has served on Medical Advisory Board No. 5, and the students of the College have assisted in examining the mouths and teeth of all drafted men in San Francisco.
On August 22, 1917, the San Francisco Chapter of the American Red Cross gave $500 for the purchase of dental supplies to replace missing teeth for drafted men and recruits and to assist soldiers and sailors in getting dental work done. As a result, 108 men received treatment. The work included 39 bridges, 27 plates, 27 single crowns, 79 fillings, 231 extractions, 21 prophylactic cases and 72 miscellaneous operations. This work, I believe, is one of the most creditable features of the year's activities.
Early in June, 1918, the department offered a condensed course of instruction in War Dental Surgery to the members of the Dental Reserve Corps on inactive duty. The instruction was given by Doctors Edith Williams, Leo Eloesser, K. F. Meyer, J. D. Millikin, F. E. Rohmer, Major C. M. Taylor, and by the following members of the staff: Doctors J. G. Sharp, A. C. Rulofson, G. Y. Rusk, C. L. Hoag, H. B. Carey, E. H. Mauk, M. T. Rhodes, F. V. Simonton, H. T. Moore, A. E. Scott, and members of the clinical staff. The course consisted of 30 lectures and 25 hours of clinical instruction, with examinations. Forty-eight members of the Corps were in attendance.
Research activities for the year have been carried on by Ruth F. Horel, Research Fellow in Dental Pathology, on the Carrel-Dakin solution as an agent in the treatment of alveolar abscesses and pyorrhoea. A report covering a part of her investigations was submitted to the California State Dental Association at its annual meeting. This Association is contributing $300 annually to the University for dental research. Earle H. Mathis, B.S., '07, D.D.S., '18, has carried on investigations with plaster compounds in the hope of finding an investing material more suitable and less costly than the materials now available. The experiments have met with encouraging results.
Competent dental service for the civil population, and particularly for children, must be given full consideration by the University and the people of the state. The press, the army and navy, public health authorities and members of the medical profession, realizing the value of a clean mouth and sound teeth, are urging the people to accept the importance of mouth hygiene. A large number of civil dentists are engaged in military service or are subject to call. The limited enrollment authorized by the government and the fact that 85 or 90 per cent of the graduates of the College have been called to military duty, curtails appreciably the service that can be rendered to the civil population, and some solution of the problem must be considered. A division of labor, with women employed as properly trained dental hygienists, is generally conceded to be the best plan for rendering a service that will prevent dental disorders and their sequelae. The adoption of this plan is particularly advisable in the public schools, where children, when they first enroll, can be properly trained in mouth hygiene. Legislation to this end should be looked forward to.
The School has endeavored to secure the appointment of dental interns on the staffs of the various hospitals. With the approval of the Surgeon General, and at the request of the superintendents of these hospitals, appointees have been recommended for the University of California Infirmary at Berkeley, the University of California Hospital, the Children's Hospital, Lane Hospital, the San Francisco Hospital, Mt. Zion Hospital,
The type of equipment recently installed by the Regents in the new Infirmary is unsurpassed in any dental school in the country and is highly endorsed by dental educators, and in the classification of dental colleges by the Dental Educational Council, approved by the Surgeon General, the College of Dentistry of the University of California is given a Class A rating. Conditions governing the enrollment of students and the status of the younger members of the teaching staff for the next year, however, are such that no accurate forecast of the work of 1918-19 can be made. The department will make every effort to serve the nation and the state during this crisis.
Examiner of Schools
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: As Examiner of Schools, I have the honor to submit herewith my report for the year 1917-18.
The activities of the Examiner, as in recent years, have been in the main such as may be summarized under the following headings: First, personal work in the field with the schools; second, general oversight and direction of the work of the University Visitors; third, as Chairman of the Committee on Schools, a general responsibility for the various activities and the policy of this committee in its relation to the schools; fourth, correspondence with school officers, teachers and others relative to educational matters; fifth, a statistical study of the scholarship records made in the University by graduates of the secondary schools who enter as freshmen; sixth, miscellaneous activities. A brief discussion of the work of the Examiner under each heading follows.
First.--In personally visiting and examining schools, the Examiner has spent, as usual, the second half of the university year, from January to June. In this time he has personally visited and inspected schools in all parts of the state, spending at least one day in each school. This year several schools situated in remote parts of the state and never before seen by a representative of the University have been visited and helped towards improved equipment and better standardization generally. These remote communities show themselves especially appreciative of the assistance and suggestions for their improvement
Second.--As in recent years, the University has endeavored, through the assistance of the University Annual Visitors, to come into personal relations with every secondary school and junior college in the state which has signified a desire for affiliation with the University. Applications for such visits were received this year from approximately 340 schools. Unfortunately, however, owing to the unusual conditions arising out of the war, it has been found impossible to visit each one of these schools during each of the past two years with the funds available for this purpose. In the year 1916-17 nearly 50 schools had to be omitted from the University visiting list for this reason, and numerous complaints were the result. This year, with a view to relieving the situation, it was decided to make at a flat rate a war-time emergency charge to private schools to cover, in part at least, the cost of the University visit. In spite of this we have had to omit this year, though partly for other reasons, as many schools as were omitted the preceding year. The Committee on Schools agrees with the Examiner in considering this situation unfortunate. The schools make application for a visit in good faith and in proper form, and the University promises to visit them. It seems to us that the Committee should be enabled, as
In passing, it should be remarked, too, that the advent of the so-called “junior college” has added much both to the labor of the school visiting and likewise to the need for doing this. These schools, as such, are in the making; they crave the help which the University can and should render them in their efforts to grow into recognized and standardized institutions. During the past year we have cut the visits to these institutions far below what we think would have been desirable.
Third.--The Committee on Schools not only has charge of the accrediting of schools, but is also responsible for adjusting the many problems that are continually coming up touching the relations between the schools and the University. The past year has been for the Committee a very busy one. The Committee has held regular meetings, twice each month, and has, it is believed, made very definite progress towards a standardized policy in the handling of these problems. In this connection, as Chairman, I wish to urge the desirability of keeping the membership of the Committee not only broadly representative but continuous throughout the years. Frequent changes in the personnel of the Committee militate against the efficiency of the Committee's work.
Fourth.--Correspondence with the schools, boards, and other organizations constantly assumes greater proportions, so that it now consumes a great deal of time and energy. The Examiner needs more regularly dependable clerical help in this connection than it has heretofore been possible to afford through the plan of making this work an incident in the general clerical tasks of the President's Office.
Fifth.--The statistical study of the records of the freshmen of the University, the results of which were for a number of years published annually and distributed as a separate bulletin to the schools, has been greatly modified by the conditions arising out of the war. Results, under these changed conditions, are no longer exactly comparable with those reached in normal times. Until national matters resume their normal course these records will be kept, but considered rather more incidental than formerly--as guides rather than as determining factors in the deciding status of schools.
Sixth.--Under miscellaneous activities of the Examiner may be included especially attendance upon meetings, addresses and conferences on educational matters, and commencement addresses. These activities form an important part of the Examiner's work each year.
University Extension Division
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor of presenting herewith the fifth annual report of the University Extension. This branch of University service, under the direction of its Advisory Board, is being reorganized. Here follow characteristic features of the new plan:
- Up-to-date organization in the three main offices of University Extension, namely at Berkeley, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the aim being to adapt these offices to the business and managerial functions required by the character of Extension work.
- Extension centers are being established or about to be established in a number of important cities, which, being situated some distance from the several plants of the University of California, are now insufficiently served. Examples are San Diego, Santa Barbara, Fresno, Sacramento, Red Bluff, and Eureka.
- Emphasis in Extension work is being placed on:
- Instruction by classes.
- Instruction by correspondence.
- Instruction by lectures
- (NOTE.--Other lines of Extension work, such as Visual Instruction, Public Discussion, and the like are made subordinate or auxillary to the foregoing. A budget system is being devised to the end that the several departments of University Extension may receive financial support in proportion to their relative needs and importance.)
- Expert supervision. The aim is to have experts supervise and correlate Extension instruction of all kinds in order that the teaching may be of the best possible character. For example, a French class conducted by an instructor who is not a regular member of the University of California is subject to inspection by a member of the French Department. Again, where several courses in the same subject are given they are being so related as to form an organic progression.
- Putting forth every possible effort to meet the educational needs of people of the state who cannot regularly attend the University
of California or some similar institution. Current needs are:
- Training demobilized soldiers and sailors for the professions, occupations and industries of peace. In most cases this means completing or supplementing training previously received.
- Many individuals need educational help in order to meet new obligations and new opportunities resulting from the war. Consider in this connection: Ship building, domestic trade and industry, foreign trade and mercantile marine, army and navy, diplomatic and consular work, salvage and conservation, reconstruction along social, political, medical and engineering lines.
- Miscellaneous needs. University Extension has been called upon and will continue to be called upon to furnish instruction in subjects about as widely diversified as the vocations and avocations represented in California.

| $91,361.23 |
In view of past experience and of conditions now confronting us the minimum appropriation for University Extension which should be requested of the next Legislature is $100,000. Much more than that amount could be profitably expended. To ask less would disparage the work. A larger appropriation than the sum named is usually made for University Extension in states like Wisconsin, where the population is smaller than in California and where there are no problems arising from proximity to an ocean.
I believe that an examination of the work of University Extension will result in the conviction that $100,000 could not be more wisely expended for the state than for the purpose of promoting the education of its population through the various forms of University Extension.
Graduate Division
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor of presenting my report on the Graduate Division for the academic year 1917-18.
Graduate Council
The new organization of the Graduate Council, adopted during the academic year 1916-17, has now been in operation for nearly two years. It has met the expectations of the faculties concerned in coordinating the diverse graduate interests of the University and maintaining the highest standards in its graduate activities.
Legislation
Among the more important actions of the Graduate Council approved by the Academic Senate are the revision of the requirements for the high school teacher's recommendation, for the Master's Degree, and for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The granting of the high school teacher's recommendation has been made subject to the passing of a physical examination and to satisfactory evidence of proper command of English. For the Master's Degree a unit value has been placed on the thesis, which may now be counted as from two to four units of strictly graduate work.
The requirement for the Master's Degree was changed accordingly from 18 units to 20 units, including a thesis.
The minimum requirement in strictly graduate work was changed from six units, to eight units inclusive of a thesis, which may be rated at from two to four units.
The distinction of seminar and research courses from other graduate courses has been abolished, which permits departments
The procedure in candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy and for meeting the ultimate requirements for the degree has been entirely revised, so as to place a greater responsibility upon the sub-committees in charge of the candidacies and on the departments of the major and minor subjects.
Numerous other actions of the Graduate Council have been, in general, purely of an administrative character.
Attendance
The total registration of graduate students for the last four successive years was 832, 1014, 1092, and 931, including 21, 23, 16, and 4, admitted to study in absence. The falling off in registration, which these figures indicate, was not unexpected and was due to the war. Of the 811, 991, 1076, and 931 resident students, 59, 52, 55, and 75 either failed to file studycards or withdrew. The remaining 752, 939, 1021, 856 were distributed as follows:

In addition to the registered students, a number of accepted candidates for higher degrees continued their studies under the direction of the University during temporary absence. No figures are given for them this year because many of these probably merely maintained a formal connection with the University while engaged in war work, either in the Army or Navy or otherwise.
Institutions Represented
The classification of graduate students according to the institutions from which they had received degrees was as follows:
| 1916-17 | 1917-18 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of institutions | No. of students | Percentage of students | No. of institutions | No. of students | Percentage of students | |
| University of California. . . . . | 1 | 675 | 61.8 | 1 | 526 | 61.4 |
| Other California institutions . . . . . | 11 | 119 | 10.9 | 9 | 87 | 10.1 |
| Other institutions west of the Rocky Mountains . . . . . | 20 | 72 | 6.6 | 14 | 44 | 5.0 |

| Foreign institutions . . . . . | 25 | 27 | 2.6 | 18 | 21 | 2.4 |
The total number of institutions represented in these figures for the four successive years was 168, 207, 175, and 128. The great falling off in the number of institutions since the first year of the war shows the effect of the war on the migration of graduate students.

Here again the effect of the war is shown in the greatly reduced number of degrees conferred in 1917-18.
The number of candidates who either withdrew or were disqualified has been as follows:

Up to the present time the University has conferred a total of 199 degrees of Doctor of Philosophy. Of these only 18 were conferred during the past academic year, as compared with 33 during the preceding year. The following table gives a comprehensive view of the past and present activities of departments in regard to graduate and research work leading to this degree:

Fellowships
In spite of war conditions, the University has been able to continue its usual high standard in the appointment of fellows. Resignations of appointees called into service were numerous and, contrary to previous custom, vacancies were filled for the remainder of the academic year. A complete list of appointees and the terms of appointment form part of the recorder's records in the Annual Register.

The amount available in the Budget for 1917-18 for researches not otherwise provided for was $4000, of which only $2634 was appropriated.
Grants numbered 2, 6, and 9 were in direct promotion of war work, No. 6 because it enabled Professor Pernot to devote his time to certain highly successful researches for the Signal Corps.
Other war researches of the University were provided for by appropriations on the part of the Scientific Committee of the State Council of Defense. The Departments of the University of California have been of service to the United States Government through numerous and important scientific contributions. These are contained in the individual reports submitted to the President and published at various times by the University, particularly in Volume 20, Part 3, of the University of California Chronicle. The total amount placed at the disposal of California scientists for the academic year 1917-18 was $37,300. The Research Board of the University consisted of the Dean of the Graduate Division, chairman; the Dean of the Faculties; and Professors Merriam, Evans and Bolton.
The Scientific Committee of the State Council of Defense included from the University of California Dean Barrows and Professor Merriam, who served successively as chairmen; Professor Leuschner, vice-chairman, and Director Whipple.
The Faculty Research and Hitchcock Lectures
Professor G. N. Lewis was honored by the Academic Senate with election as Faculty Research Lecturer for the year 1917-18. After his entrance into the Chemical Warfare Service, in which he now holds the rank of lieutenant-colonel, Professor Rudolph Schevill was elected Faculty Research Lecturer, with the stipulation that Professor Lewis should deliver the anual lecture at the close of the war. Professor Rudolph Schevill chose for his subject, “Cervantes and Spain's Golden Century of Letters.” The Faculty Research Lecture was delivered March 21 in connection with the Semicentenary Celebration of the University.
The Hitchcock Lectures were delivered by Professor George Fillmore Swain. The dates and subjects of his lectures were as follows:
- “The Quebec Bridge.”
- “The New Quebec Bridge.”
- “Subways and Rapid Transit in Cities.”
- “Water Power Legislation.”
- “Some General Principles and Disputed Points in the Valuation of Public Utility Corporations.”
Hastings College of the Law
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the Hastings College of the Law for the year 1917-18.
The work has been well done by the instructors of the various classes. The number of classes, however, has been greatly reduced by reason of the war.
The decrease in student enrollment, in our case, has not been as great as in many other law schools of the country. Last year we had 99 registrations, while this year we had 41. There were 10 members in the Senior Class, six of whom we recommended for graduation. They accordingly had confered upon them by the University the degree of Bachelor of Law.
Hooper Foundation for Medical Research
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the George Williams Hooper Foundation for Medical Research for the year 1917-18.
This department, like all other University departments, has felt the effect of war conditions. Valuable men have gone into army work, problems have been put aside to enable workers to concentrate upon research problems which seem to have a close relationship to war conditions, and much time has been spent by various members of the staff in the instruction of army medical officers who are detailed to the Medical School for special training in surgery and laboratory work.
A special course in laboratory technique has been given during the entire summer by Drs. Meyer, Walker, Rusk and Hurwitz. This course was offered to women who had had certain fundamental training and was intended to fit this selected group of women to take up laboratory work in base hospital laboratories either here or abroad. The response to this course was most gratifying. Only one-third of the applicants could be accepted, because of lack of space, and the spirit of enthusiasm which prevailed enabled these women volunteers to develop technical skill and judgment to a surprising degree. The present opportunities for service in medical school or base hospital laboratories should attract many volunteers.
Vivisection or animal experimentation came up again this year for heated discussion in San Francisco, this time before
Friends of this University must realize that many people are misinformed on this subject and many are not open to reason. Such persons make the wildest statements and by constant repetition persuade others to believe that such misstatements represent the truth. It is important to correct such false impressions, and all persons who are informed should feel it a duty to contradict misstatements about vivisection or animal experimentation. The Director wishes to repeat that this research laboratory is open to visitors at all times and every care is taken to assure comfort, cleanliness and proper care of all the animals. All surgical operations upon animals are performed under complete anaesthesia by ether or chloroform, which anaesthetics have exactly the same effect upon animals as upon human beings. When an animal is to survive an operation, the same surgical technique is used as in any hospital for human beings, to ensure prompt recovery. Morphia is given after operation and every care is taken to minimize the post-operative discomfort. Animals which are not meant to survive after the experiment are kept under the anaesthetic until the end of the experiment and then killed by an overdose of the anaesthetic. Hypodermic injections in animals, as in human beings, do not call for an anaesthetic.
Because legal enactments have been proposed which were to create a committee of laboratory inspection, the Regents of this
Research Work
The work of the laboratory staff appears in various scientific publications, but in addition is gathered into the “Collected Reprints,” which volumes are distributed to various libraries and laboratories for convenient reference. During this year, Volume II of the Collected Reprints appeared, and this collection of 24 reprints illustrates the various problems which occupy the laboratory staff. Since this volume appeared there have appeared 14 other articles which will make up the greater part of the next volume, to appear in the near future. The various problems must be reviewed with great brevity.
Typhoid carriers have been studied by Dr. Meyer, Miss Neilson and Miss Feusier in animals and in human cases. Much knowledge as to the cause of this condition and its cure has been gained by careful systematic experiments. Several human cases have been treated successfully. With Dr. Hinman the studies have been extended to cover renal carriers, with particular reference to the method of production in animals.
Abortus Infection.--Drs. Fleischner and Meyer and Mr. Shaw have continued the work of last year to study this disease in animals and to show convincingly that heavily infected cow's milk is harmless to children.
An exact study and classification of the anaerobe group of bacteria isolated from war wounds in Flanders is being carried on by Hilda Hempl Heller and Dr. Meyer. This study concerns particularly the bacteria which cause gas gangrene. Single bacilli are isolated by use of a microscopic pipette and thus it is possible
Under Dr. Meyer's direction Miss McRoberts is making a careful collection, classification and study of the various types of Pneumococcus and Streptococcus which are to be found in the respiratory tract of infected persons in the Bay Region of California. Valuable coöperation on the part of many physicians is acknowledged. Miss Morris is studying the character of the intestinal flora in health and disease and the specific methods of changing the same. Miss Halbert is making a routine study of all bacteria met with in renal infections. Miss Cowan is making a study of clinical cases of dysentery and paradysentery. Mr. Edson is making a careful study of bacterial growth as influenced by the reaction of the culture media.
Dr. Walker is following interesting lines of investigation which relate to Leprosy and Tuberculosis. It is known that chaulmoogra oil has a favorable effect on leprosy and definite cures have been reported. Dr. Walker is investigating the effect of this oil and its various soluble acid radicles upon the large group of acid-fast bacilli to which the leprosy bacillus belongs. The tubercle bacillus also belongs to this group and Dr. Walker can demonstrate that chaulmoogric acid derivatives in high dilutions have a powerful effect upon the resistant tubercle bacillus in culture. Experiments with various animals infected with tuberculosis are in progress.
Dr. Schmidt, working in coöperation with Drs. Gay and Robertson, has received grants from the Hooper Foundation to further particular investigations. He has investigated the properties of taurin and devised a new method for its manufacture in large amounts. Dr. Gay was investigating the effect of this substance upon the growth of tubercle bacilli in the body. This work is virtually suspended because of Dr. Gay's absence on war duty. Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Whipple are investigating the chemical nature of the substances obtained from cases of intestinal obstruction. It is believed that these substances (proteoses) are responsible
Dr. Alvarez is continuing his admirable study of the gastrointestinal tract. He is making clear certain fundamental physiological and chemical properties inherent in the muscles of the stomach and intestine which explain many obscure reactions observed in disease.
Mr. Belt, Mr. Smith and Dr. Whipple took up the study of fatal shock which can be readily produced by dilution and replacement of the blood plasma in animals. This shock is of much interest as compared with surgical shock and with the shock following proteose intoxication. At the same time a great deal of valuable data has been accumulated concerning the regeneration of blood proteins.
Under Dr. Whipple's supervision Mr. Hall completed an excellent study of the intoxication and disturbed metabolism which may result from large doses of the X-ray. Mr. McQuarrie has completed an interesting study of renal function as influenced by proteose intoxication and intestinal obstruction. Mr. Davis has investigated the growth and regeneration of the liver cells after grave injury by a given poison. This curve of regeneration may be influenced by differences in the diet. Mr. Foster has investigated the fluctuations in the amount of blood plasma fibrin which are observed under experimental conditions.
Dr. Rohde has investigated the disturbances in body metabolism which may follow thyroid feeding.
Dr. Appleton completed a study of the red blood pigment of young infants. Necessary modifications of method were successfully made to use the minute amounts of blood obtained.
Dr. Hinman is pursuing his investigation of renal regeneration following experimental hydronephrosis.
Dr. Hooper and Miss Foster have devised an accurate method of bile salt analysis. With this method a study of these bile salts in dogs with bile fistulas has been taken up. Very little is known concerning the source and general use of the bile salts in the internal metabolism of the body, and the field opened up for investigation is enormous.
Dr. Hooper, Mrs. Robscheit and Dr. Whipple have continued their studies of pigment metabolism. Particular attention has been paid to the building up of the red blood pigment and we are now able to measure this pigment construction with great accuracy. It has been possible to study the effect of various drugs, diet substances and organ extracts upon this curve of red pigment construction. It is obvious that this knowledge will enable physicians to shorten the convalescent period following simple anemia from loss of blood. This applies to war injuries as well as to diseased conditions.
Personnel
The laboratory staff has lost several valuable men because of the war. Dr. William J. Kerr enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps. Mr. C. C. Hall enlisted in one of the base hospital units. Dr. C. W. Hooper recently has accepted a responsible position in Washington to carry on work on war problems.
The laboratory loses the valuable services of Dr. Alice Rohde, who has resigned to take up greater responsibilities in the Chemical Department of the University of Pittsburgh.
Miss Margaret Beattie was on the laboratory staff but three months and was forced to resign because of ill health.
During this year three student fellows were appointed from the Medical School: Mr. Nelson C. Davis, Mr. Daniel P. Foster and Mr. Irvine McQuarrie. The successful work of these student fellows has decided the trustees to continue their policy of appointing suitable candidates to fellowships in the Foundation. This work gives the candidate invaluable training in general pathology and experimental physiology and pathology. Such work may count as the fifth year in medicine or toward any of the University degrees.
Volunteer workers have given services of the greatest value to the laboratory. It may be said without hesitation that the completed programme of the laboratory would have been absolutely impossible without the aid of the volunteers whose names follows: Miss Maybelle L. Feusier, Miss Louise McRoberts,
Particular mention should be made in the case of Miss Maybelle L. Feusier and Miss Louise McRoberts, whose volunteer services have been of especial value to this laboratory. Their interest has been unflagging and their work of the highest accuracy. They have accepted appointments as Voluntary Assistants in Research Medicine.
Miss Gwen Jones, who entered the laboratory as a volunteer worker, completed her training in December, 1917, and joined our base hospital unit (Number 30), with which she is now serving in France as Assistant Bacteriologist.
Hilda Hempl Heller took up her work with Dr. Meyer while on a traveling fellowship from Wellesley College, but recently has been appointed by the trustees to a fellowship in this laboratory.
Miss Nelsine M. Neilson has been appointed to a fellowship in Research Medicine.
A grant to Dr. Carl L. A. Schmidt has been continued for another year to support his interesting and valuable work in the field of protein chemistry.
This laboratory staff wish to acknowledge the helpful coöperation on the part of other departments and individuals in the School and Hospital. This coöperation has enabled the laboratory to enlarge the scope of its work.
University Infirmary
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor of presenting to you the following report of the Infirmary for the year 1917-18.
The University Infirmary for the past year has been a semimilitary institution, half of the bed capacity being devoted to members of the United States School of Military Aeronautics, with special hours in the Dispensary given over to these men in uniform. The professional care of the men of the Military School was rendered by their own surgeons, to whom the staff of the Infirmary extended every courtesy. Several hundred flying cadets were immunized weekly. Contagious disease of various kinds were practically endemic throughout the year, these diseases being brought to the barracks by new recruits who were infected when they came. One death was recorded, that of Private Cook of Utah, who succumbed to pneumonia.
The great war has crippled the staff of the Department of Hygiene, as well as of the Infirmary, through a number of members being called to the colors. However, the vacancies have been temporarily filled by the Head of the Department. Our energies have centered on various activities, with the prime motive of winning the war. Innumerable physical examinations were conducted for men entering the government service, and likewise the women physicians examined numerous women for the nursing course, for services as rehabilitation aides, and for the Women's Land Army, besides immunizing against smallpox and typhoid many who entered the Y.W.C.A., the Red Cross, and other agencies.
Owing to the great demand for workers, salaries were increased to retain and secure proper assistants. As a result of the continual advance in prices of commodities and materials, the operating expenses of the Infirmary greatly increased. Notwithstanding these difficulties, however, our unexpended balance at the termination of the fiscal year makes up a good surplus.
The Dental Annex of the Infirmary has completed a very successful year--under the professional services of Drs. Johnson and Chessall. Both of these capable dental surgeons are now officers in the United States Army.
Of the 681 house patients actually confined to bed for the past year, with an average stay of 5 3/5 days, the Head of the Department reports one death--a student whose skull was crushed by being run over by an automobile.
It is gratifying to the University of California to learn that all the physicians connected with the Infirmary, since its inception, with the exception of 2, are now members of the Army or Navy. Our service flag has 19 stars, for 11 medical and four dental officers and four nurses.

Immunization Service
July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report of the immunization service conducted at the University Infirmary during the academic year 1917-18.
Smallpox Vaccination.--In the last annual report, mention was made of a statement of our methods for the recognition of smallpox immunity, which was prepared at the request of the Council of National Defense. On February 26, 1918, the Instructions for Filling out the Vaccination Register (Form 81, Medical Department, U.S. Army) were revised as follows:
Old Instructions: 4. The result of the vaccination against smallpox will be recorded as successful or unsuccessful. The term protected will not be used.
Revised Instructions: 4. The result of vaccination against smallpox will be recorded as immune reaction, vaccinoid, vaccinia or unsuccessful. The immune reaction appears as an areola after 24 hours and disappears in 72 hours. In a case of vaccinoid there is a small pustule which appears and disappears more quickly than in vaccinia. These reactions are evidence of protection. The term “protected” will not be used.
From our own experience, we can assure a great saving in time and vaccine virus if these new instructions are carefully followed.
On September 11, 1917, a student entering the University a month after the opening of the semester was vaccinated with a vaccine which had been used with uniform success on intrants at the opening of the semester. The vaccine had a potency expectancy until the first week in November. The student had been vaccinated more than 10 years previously and presented an indistinct scar. No reaction resulted from this vaccination, nor from revaccination with the same vaccine on September 21 and November 16. The student was excused from further vaccination until the following semester, when fresh vaccine would be provided for the entering class. Unfortunately she did not return to the University and therefore furnishes the first instance of smallpox vaccination failure in the four years since our present methods were finally put into practice. The vaccine used at the University is practically never removed from the ice and has been shown experimentally to retain a high degree of potency after six months ice box storage. Inquiry at the producing establishment resulted in the information that the vaccine used in this instance had been ground in a slightly alkaline glycerin instead of the customary neutral product. Further study, made at the request of the State Board of Health, of 39 additional failures occurring in various communities around San Francisco Bay showed in every instance that a vaccine ground in alkaline glycerin had been used. As this vaccine is subject to sudden
On the basis of 2271 intrants examined during the year, the following percentages have been determined:

Typhoid Vaccination.--During the year, the quantity of typhoid vaccine given at each dose was raised from 0.1 mg. to 0.15 mg. without increasing the number of doses. Typhoidin tests of a number of persons vaccinated during the year gave uniformly positive results. Negative results were obtained in three instances, two vaccinated two years previously with three doses of sensitized vaccine, and one vaccinated five years previously with three doses of unsensitized vaccine (army). A positive reaction was also secured in a case giving a history of typhoid 10 years previously, as well as in a case vaccinated two years previously, two vaccinated three years previously, and four vaccinated four years previously, all with three doses of sensitized vaccine.
Vaccinations were performed with a number of different combinations of typhoid vaccine, sensitized and unsensitized, with sensitized paratyphoid vaccine, A and B. The results were compared with vaccinations with the new triple vaccine (unsensitized typhoid combined with paratyphoid A and B) used by the U.S. Army. The following conclusions were drawn:
- Reactions to unsensitized typhoid vaccine were greater than to sensitized typhoid vaccine.
- Reactions to sensitized typhoid vaccine combined with sensitized paratyphoid A and B vaccine were greater than to unsensitized typhoid vaccine combined with sensitized paratyphoid A and B vaccine.
- The army vaccine appears to give greater reactions than either sensitized or unsensitized typhoid vaccine when combined with sensitized paratyphoid A and B.
- The army vaccine appears to give less reaction than either sensitized or unsensitized typhoid vaccine alone.

University Library
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I herewith submit a brief report on the University Library for the year 1917-18. Full statistical, departmental statements are kept in the librarian's office.
Conditions resulting from the war have affected every phase of library activity. The reduction of funds for book purchase has diminished new accessions, and were it not that a very considerable number of books, previously ordered, arrived at the beginning of the fiscal year, the total would have been much less.
Administration
Three changes of importance have been made. The reserved book room is one of the new features. Books reserved by instructors for use by the various sections are stored, along the south length of the former periodical room, in stacks which are separated by a wire screen, provided with turnstiles, from the space used by readers. Free access to the enclosure is granted students, but as they pass out through a single exit, a call slip is filed for any book taken. The majority of the books, within an hour or more, are dropped through an aperture in the desk, discharged and returned promptly to their proper locations in the stack, whence they can be again withdrawn. By this system obvious advantages are gained, and losses are reduced to a minimum.
Consolidation of the Reference and Periodicals departments was effected by storing current periodicals in the new east reading room, adjoining which, and quite close to the public catalogue,
The Shelf and Loan departments have been united under the control of the Superintendent of Circulation. As a consequence there is a better adjustment in the services of attendants, at the loan desk and in the book stack.
The status of departmental libraries was formally fixed by the following resolution adopted by the Academic Senate, April, 1918:
Resolved, That the Senate approve of the general policy of maintaining a comprehensive central collection of books as against the distribution of these in departmental libraries; and of limiting the withdrawal of books and periodicals for deposit in departmental libraries to those which are exclusively used by the departments concerned and which are replaceable in case of loss.

Gifts
The Spanish collection in gradual process of formation by Mr. J. C. Cebrian (to which he added some 450 volumes this year) is of wide range. It comprehends not merely literary and philological works by Spanish authors, often in early or extremely rare editions, but standard books in history, economics, the sciences, and arts. When more fully developed it will at least typify and illustrate Iberian culture and contributions to the intellectual resources of the world.
Mrs. Lois T. Howison has presented the manuscripts and correspondence of our revered Professor George H. Howison, and the philosophical portion (1235 volumes) of his library; choice editions in the best of condition.
The brothers J. L. and Fred Mundwyler gave a valuable collection of chamber music (about 240 pieces), some being rare or early editions.
By bequest of Allen Knight his special library on Accountancy (600 volumes) has been received.
Mr. Irving C. Allen (for some years Petroleum Chemist in the U. S. Bureau of Mines) has given a very considerable collection of books and pamphlets on Petroleum. More valuable than these is his manuscript bibliography of the subject, with synopses of articles in periodical literature; and his extensive letter files, in which his correspondence is arranged by subject under 174 headings such as Allotments, By-products, Calorimetry, Flash-point, etc.
Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst has laid us under obligations by the gift of some rare books, and also of Martin's History of Oriental Carpets before 1800.
The third splendid volume of Pictures in the collection of P. A. B. Widener, containing British and later French painters, was received.
Mr. T. L. E. Haug, of Berkeley, gave partial sets of the Society of Naval Architects, and Engineering.
From Mr. Henry Swan, of Toronto, Canada, came a prized copy of Bishop Berkeley's Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, in the rare, first edition of 1713.
Miscellaneous gifts include a miniature silver-plated replica of the Sather Campanile from Peter M. Diers of Berkeley; a bronze medal, University of Leipzig, 1909, from Mrs. Howison; a bronze medal commemorating the founding of New Orleans, 1717, from the French government; a bronze bust of Voltaire from Mrs. Manfred Brandenstein of San Francisco; and a set of 600 Keystone stereographs, in case, from Professor H. M. Stephens.
Catalogue Department: Classed Catalogue Division
(Miss Gunthorp).--Some 7490 titles in 14,260 volumes have been catalogued. The cataloguing of the Library of French Thought is in progress.
Consolidation of the old author and new dictionary catalogue was completed by Miss Martin, March 18, 1918.
Catalogue Department: Reclassification Division
(Miss Hedrick).--The subjects Geography, Anthropology and Education were completed, and History other than American is fairly begun. Some 11,609 titles in 22,893 volumes have been catalogued. As the work progresses a larger proportion of new accessions is handled, nearly one-quarter of the new books being catalogued this year. By harmonizing slight differences in catalogue details as heretofore practiced by the two divisions, the old cards without change, except as to call numbers, can be used in numerous instances in the new dictionary catalogue. After a year's trial the experiment of having each assistant classify as well as catalogue the books assigned her seems well justified by results. Additional assistants are much desired, although not urged under present conditions.
Depository Union Catalogue
The addition of 66,067 cards this year brings the total of this invaluable reference catalogue to 972,041 entries.
Circulation Department
(Mr. Bumstead).--The war has greatly affected the personnel of this department, and only one experienced attendant remains. Service necessarily has not measured up to former standards of efficiency and promptness, but the infrequent complaints received indicate forbearance on the part of our public and a recognition of the difficulties under which we have labored. The books in the stack have received a thorough cleaning. Inventory was only partially taken this year. An adjustment has been made of rate of pay of pages proportionate to their length of service. Summarizing the statistics of circulation we find that, including both day and home use, we issued 140,229 volumes from the loan desk and 271,591 volumes from the reserved book room. Over 8500 notices for overdue
Reference Department
(Miss Coulter).--This department, in addition to customary service, has answered 9163 inquiries requiring more or less research, and 105 questions received by mail. In response to requests we have prepared lists of references on income tax, free ports, marine ways, food conservation, vegetable oils, vocations for disabled soldiers, grain elevators, the soldier's foot, San Francisco harbor, etc. The “New Books” of each week are now under charge of the reference department, likewise the contents of the rare book room, and the collection of maps, which last have been fully classified and listed.
Inter-library Loans
Our loans to other institutions numbered 274 (522 volumes), and to departments of the University located outside the campus 68 (128 volumes). We borrowed 81 times (128 volumes).
Events
On Lafayette's birthday, September 6, 1917, the Library of French Thought was dedicated under the direction of the Friends of France. The proceedings are contained in the University of California Chronicle for October, 1917, and were reprinted, with additions and illustrations, in separate pamphlet form.
During the Semicentenary in March, 1918, an extensive exhibit was made of photographs, portraits, and other material, illustrating the history of the University and the growth of Berkeley. The Hearst-Pathe News Service has presented a film showing activities of the week.
Notes of Work
The classification of the Archives material has been worked out in minute detail, and the bound books have been remarked accordingly. The unbound portion will be similarly treated later.
Our large collection of duplicates have been unpacked. A considerable quantity has been sold for waste paper, and a great number of volumes have been utilized for departmental libraries. The balance will be roughly classified, and sold or used for exchange.
A great number of books have been turned in to the library by students and others for use at army camps, five boxes having
A Library Handbook, prepared by the staff, has been published. This handy little pamphlet, containing a description of the building and its contents, information as to the classification and catalogue, and regulations for use of books, will prove of great assistance to new instructors and students.
The Summer School in Library Science this year is being conducted by members of the library staff.

Lick Astronomical Department
Lick Observatory
MOUNT HAMILTON, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith my report for the period July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1918.
The fulfilling of war duties has affected appreciably the output of investigational results during the past year.
Dr. Curtis was absent eight weeks in August, September, and October, in charge of the San Diego School of the U.S. Shipping Board for the training of officers to equip our enlarged Merchant Marine.
Mr. C. D. Shane, University Fellow, has been absent continuously since August 20 in the same service at Astoria, Oregon, and Bellingham, Washington, successively.
Professor Wright has been absent since January, for service in the Berkeley Astronomical Department, to relieve officers of that department who were engaged in war service. Mr. Wright's appointment in the Berkeley Department has been continued for the whole of the next academic year.
Mr. Curtis served in the Berkeley Astronomical Department during the last two months of the academic year, substituting for Professor Crawford, absent on war service. Mr. Curtis instructed in Navigation a large class of prospective ensigns in the U.S. Navy.
Mr. Curtis is at present a member of the staff of the Summer Session of the University; his chief duty is the training of ensigns for the navy.
It has not been possible to find satisfactory substitutes for Messrs. Wright, Curtis, and Shane, to take part in the research work of the Observatory. It is an interesting index of prevailing conditions that no men have applied for University fellowships or other astronomical positions since the United States engaged in the great war.
The position of engineer became vacant on March 1, 1918, and it was decided not to fill this position so long as the war should last, thus releasing one more man for war service. Mr. Hoover is now foreman, carpenter, and engineer.
The Legislature which met early in 1917 appropriated the sum of $40,000 for the construction of a central heating plant, and for a suitable building to house this plant, the carpenter shop, instrument making shop, plumbing shop, and the distillate engine, generator, and storage battery, which supply electric current for the various needs of the Observatory, etc.
We had planned to have the more massive building materials on hand by the end of 1917, in order that the actual construction should begin early in 1918. The difficult excavation for the building was completed in 1917, the lumber for the concrete forms, the reinforcing steel, the sand and gravel, were procured and delivered, and the actual construction was about to begin. At this juncture the national government expressed the wish that all avoidable use of materials and labor should be delayed until after the close of the war. We at once conformed to this plan. No other new construction has been undertaken in the past 15 months, and the purchases of new equipment have been reduced to a negligible quantity. The resources of the Observatory as to men and materials have been available at all times for the winning of the war.
International conditions have unavoidably interfered with the efficiency of our observatory at Santiago, Chile. The cessation of the normal exports from this country to Chile has modified the rate of exchange to an astounding degree. The rate at one time in 1915 was more than seven pesos per dollar, but since the United States entered the war this rate has decreased to less than three pesos per dollar. At the same time, costs of living,
Dr. R. E. Wilson, Acting Astronomer in Charge of the Expedition, resigned to take effect on June 30, 1918. He returned to this country and is now engaged in war service. Mr. Charles M. Huffer, Assistant in Chile during the past year, is in temporary charge of the Observatory, and is at present the only member of the staff. Dr. George F. Paddock has been appointed Acting Astronomer in Charge of the Observatory, but he will not start to Chile for several weeks, in order that certain home needs of the work in Chile may be met.
The Lick Observatory had been hoping and fully expecting to observe the total solar eclipse of June 8, 1918, but plans as to equipment and observing programme were held in abeyance until late in March, 1918, owing to uncertainty as to available instruments. Our extensive eclipse equipment, left in Russia following the total eclipse of August 21, 1914, was started upon the long home journey on August 15, 1917, through the kind and efficient offices of Mr. A. G. Freeman, a prominent citizen of California, whose business interests had taken him to Russia shortly before the latter date. The shipment reached Vladivostock about December 15, where, owing to political conditions, it remained until April. It then proceeded to Kobe, Japan, where it still remains.
Preparations for observing the eclipse could not be delayed beyond March, 1918, and the financial needs of a proposed expedition were outlined to Regent William H. Crocker at that time. He at once offered to meet the expenses, as he had so generously done for many earlier expeditions.
The continued hope that the special eclipse equipment would return from Russia in time for use on June 8th had prevented us from purchasing substitute instruments, and even from borrowing and adapting lenses, prisms, etc., available in other parts
The observing station was located a short distance southwest of the town of Goldendale, Washington, an attractive village of 1200 population, 30 or 40 miles east of the central range of the Cascade Mountains, and 10 miles north of the Columbia River, altitude approximately 1600 feet above sea level. We were fortunately able to rent a well-furnished residence and premises, equipped with electricity, running water, etc., which supplied ideal living and working conditions. The mounting, adjusting, and testing of the instruments were completed in good time. The sky may in fairness be said to have been clouded throughout the day of June 8, and during the long hours of waiting the prospects for successful observation seemed hopeless. Fortunately--we could almost say miraculously--a small rift in the clouds occurred at the critical place and time. The sun and a very small area of sky surrounding it cleared less than a minute before the instant of totality arrived, and the sun was again covered with
The photographs of the region surrounding the sun and corona, taken for the purpose of recording the stars, bright and faint, whose rays were proceeding to us through those regions, were affected unfavorably by the clouds which bounded the small area beyond the clear sky, though a goodly number of star images were recorded. Whether these photographs will be able to supply a test of the so-called Einstein effect is uncertain, and cannot yet be determined. We must first remount these cameras--at Mount Hamilton--and secure photographs of the stars in the same region of the sky, next winter, when that region of the night sky shall have come into observing position. A comparison of the two sets of photographs of the same star groups, one set affected by the sun's influence, and the other not, will show, it is hoped, the nature of this influence upon the stellar rays of light which passed close to the sun on June 8th. An examination of the star images found on the plates of June 8th has not shown the presence of other than well-known stars, and this is in accordance with expectations based upon our searches for unknown bodies at previous eclipses, in pursuing the historic Vulcan problem.
Professor Tucker's observations of the moon's position made a few months prior to the eclipse date indicated that the eclipse would come 20 seconds, more or less, earlier than the time predicted in the Nautical Almanac. Our observed time was 17 seconds in advance of the Almanac's prediction, or three seconds later than we had anticipated.
The photographs of the solar corona, secured with the camera of 40 feet focus, are splendid and most interesting. The recorded
The coronal photographs obtained with a camera 48 inches in focal length are likewise excellent. The longer coronal streamers are recorded in lengths between two and three solar diameters.
The spottedness of the sun at the time of the eclipse was near the maximum stage and we had expected the general outline form of the corona to be nearly circular, as for several preceding coronas observed at and near sunspot maximum; that is, the coronal streamers proceeding from the north and south polar regions of the sun were expected to be substantially as long and as bright as the equatorial streamers. The prevailing form of the corona at sunspot minimum is one in which the equatorial streamers are long and prominent, and the polar streamers short and faint. We were surprised to find the corona of June 8th of type intermediate between the maximum and minimum forms. Evidently the prevailing hypothesis as to the dependence of coronal form upon sunspot phase calls for further investigation and probable modification.
The spectrum of the solar corona was successfully observed, independently, by Professor Lewis and by Dr. Moore, with suitable spectrographs. The continuous spectrum of the corona was found to be strong, but the bright coronal lines were surprisingly weak. About a dozen of these lines were recorded and accurate measurements should increase our knowledge of their wave-lengths.
The green coronal line was photographed successfullly by Mr. Moore, using 3-prism dispersion, for the purpose of determining its wave-length with great accuracy. The coronal stratum, giving rise to the celebrated green line, was photographed with slitless spectrographs by both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Moore, and information of value as to the distribution of the materials composing the green stratum will result from their detailed study. It may be said, at this date, that the thickest and brightest regions in the stratum do not coincide in position with the solar prominences, but there may be and probably is some connection between them.
Mr. Lewis photographed the spectrum of the sun's western edge at the instant when the bright lines of the so-called reversing layer were in evidence; about 250 strong lines were recorded.
Mr. Lewis photographed the corona with a double image camera. Preliminary examination of these photographs indicates that the light of the corona is strongly polarized even out to the limits of the recorded streamers, a distance from the sun's edge greater than one solar diameter.
All of our spectrographic and polarigraphic observations are in harmony with the theory that the light of the inner corona is, for the most part, inherent and proceeds from materials possessing temperatures equal to or above the point of incandescence, but that an appreciable share of the light radiations, especially from the sections of the corona at considerable distances from the sun's edge, are shining by reflected and diffused sunlight, which falls upon the materials constituting those parts of the coronal structure.
Some observers of previous eclipses have made the surprising statement that visual observations of the inner coronal streamers have shown much greater richness of detailed structure than is visible on the best photographs obtained with the largest cameras. At my request, Dr. John A. Brashear and Dr. Ambrose Swasey made visual observations of the inner corona. They were unable to see details of structure comparable with those recorded on our photographs of the corona obtained with the 40-foot camera.
Five volunteer observers--astronomers of great experience in
It is hoped that rapid progress may be made in the detailed and technical study of the eclipse photographs.
Many kind citizens of Goldendale contributed to the success of the expedition. In this connection special mention is made of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Morgan, whose residence and premises we occupied, Mr. C. T. Camplan, Mr. Zola Brooks, Mr. N. B. Brooks, Mr. T. Bert Wilson, and Mr. T. A. Graham.
Last year's report noted that the major part of our resources in the academic years 1915-17 had been devoted to studies of the nebulae, both the so-called gaseous nebulae, whose spectra consist chiefly of isolated bright lines, and the spiral nebulae, whose spectra may fairly be said to resemble the solar spectrum, with rare exceptions. All of the nebular programmes have now been completed, and many of the results have been published in a preliminary manner. The manuscripts embodying the results in their final form are, with one exception, complete, and this one will be completed in the month of July. The series of papers will compose a volume, entitled “Investigations of the Nebulae,” in the Semicentenary publications of the University. The leading results of this programme of nebular research, in so far as they were not described in last year's report, are listed below.
A paper by Mr. Curtis, in charge of nebular photography with the Crossley reflector, embraces all work done in this field with that instrument since the year 1898, when Director Keeler's epoch-making photography of the brighter nebulae was commenced. There are descriptions of 762 principal nebulae and star clusters. The photographs recorded not only these brighter and more striking objects, but in addition many thousands of fainter nebulae not previously observed. On the photographs of 439 separate small regions of the sky Mr. Curtis has counted
The effective area of a Crossley plate in the photography of faint and small nebulae was assumed by Mr. Curtis to be 0.75 square degree. The regions photographed are quite evenly distributed over the sky north of 30 degrees south declination; that is, over the northern three-fourths of the entire sky. He divided the celestial sphere into two equal areas, one consisting of a zone 60 degrees wide extending 30 degrees on each side of the central plane of the Milky Way, and the other comprising the two circular regions each 60 degrees in radius, about the north and south poles of the Milky Way, respectively, and found that 217 regions are located in the Milky Way zone, and 222 regions in the remaining areas. The distribution of the observed regions in the galactic zone and in the non-galactic regions is, therefore, in nearly perfect balance.
Mr. Curtis further divided the sky into the four zones described in the first column of the following table. The number of regions photographed in each zone, the number of square degrees covered by these photographs, the number of spirals observed on these photographs and the average number of spirals per square degree, in each of the four zones, are set down in the second, third, fourth, and fifth columns. If we make the assumption, apparently reasonable and justified, that the sample areas in the four zones are truly representative of their entire respective zones, then the numbers of nebulae which we should expect to find on photographs of equal merit covering the whole of the four zones would be as estimated in the last column of the table, a total of 722,000.
Mr. Curtis sees no reason at present existing for doubting the reliability of the estimate that at least 700,000 small spiral nebulae are within reach of modern reflecting telescopes. This number is in confirmation, and I think we may fairly say in establishment, of the estimate made by Dr. Perrine, former member of the Lick Observatory staff, based upon the relatively
| Galactic latitude | Number regions | Square degrees | Number spirals | Number per square degree | Number in area |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +45° to +90° | 117 | 88.50 | 2,997 | 34 | 205,000 |
| -45° to -90° | 43 | 32.25 | 918 | 28 | 169,000 |
| ±30° to ±45° | 62 | 46.50 | 1,117 | 24 | 204,000 |
| -30° to +30° | 217 | 162.75 | 1,179 | 7 | 144,000 |
| ___ | ___ | ___ | |||
| Totals . . . . . | 439 | 6,211 | 722,000 |
It will be seen, from the fifth column of the table, that the number of spirals per square degree decreases as one passes from the poles of the Milky Way toward the Milky Way region. The average number in the Milky Way zone, seven per square degree, must be further interpreted. Not one of the 1179 spirals observed on the plates of the 217 regions in the Milky Way zone 60 degrees wide is situated within the Milky Way structure, which is included within the central 15 or 20 degrees of the 60 degree zone; all of them are in the parts of the 60 degree zone which are not occupied by the Milky Way.
Truly the spiral nebulae abhor the Milky Way, and they are in general the more plentiful as the poles of the Milky Way are approached.
The second paper in the volume, by Mr. Curtis, relates to a study of absorbing or obstructing effects in the spiral nebulae. The results were described in my report for last year.
The third paper, also by Mr. Curtis, embraces his studies of the planetary nebulae, as described in last year's report.
The fourth paper, by Mr. Campbell and Mr. Moore, is entitled “The Spectrographic Velocities of the Bright-Line Nebulae.” It is based upon observations of the bright-line nebulae made at Mount Hamilton and at the Mills Observatory, Santiago, Chile. The programme is complete for all known objects in this class that are bright enough to be observed with exposure times of practicable length--up to a limit of 32 hours. Only nine other nebulae are known to possess bright-line spectra, and the successful
The radial velocities of 125 bright-line nebulae have been determined.
The average radial velocity of the Great Nebula in Orion is +17.5 km./sec., but the results for various details of structure in this nebula range from +9.7 to +24.9 km./sec. The results do not favor the hypothesis of the rotation of this great nebula as a whole; the observed differences appear to be local or regional in character.
The radial velocities of 17 nebulae in the Greater Magellanic Cloud, observed by Mr. Wilson and his assistants at Santiago, Chile, lie between +251 and +309 km./sec.; average +276 km.
The observed radial velocity of the only known bright-line nebula in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud is +168 km.
The two Magellanic Clouds are thought to be separate stellar systems, wholly independent of the great stellar system of which our solar system is a detail.
In addition to the eighteen observed Magellanic nebulae, there are six observed planetary nebulae whose radial velocities are greater than 115 km./sec. These six are located in a very small section of the Milky Way, their right ascensions lying between 15.1 hours and 19.2 hours and their declinations between -9° and -38°.
The remaining 101 nebulae yield a speed of -23.6 km./sec. for the motion of the solar system with reference to these nebulae as a system, assuming the direction of solar motion to be toward that point whose right ascension is 270° and declination +30°. The system of 101 nebulae as a whole is, therefore, substantially at rest with reference to our stellar system.
Excluding the 18 Magellanic nebulae, which seem not to belong to our system, and the five irregular nebulae which have special characteristics, 102 planetary or small nebulae remain. Their average radial velocity is 37 km./sec.
Thirty-one of the nebulae have diameters less than five
The evidence for the existence of the Kapteyn preferential motion of the bright-line nebulae is slight, if we exclude the group of six Milky Way objects with abnormally high velocities.
The estimated relative photographic intensities of the recorded nebular lines in each observed spectrum are set down for nearly all of the objects observed. A wide variety of relative intensities prevails.
Forty-three planetary nebulae were observed with 3-prism dispersion for evidences of rotation or internal motion, and three with low dispersion. Of these 46 objects, 25 showed internal motion effects. Nineteen, and possibly 21, of these are interpretable as rotations about axes approximately or roughtly perpendicular to the line of sight, and four appear to be not so interpretable.
The most elongated planetary nebulae show the highest rotational speeds, as we should expect of rotating gaseous bodies in equilibrium under the action of the forces of gravitation, gas expansion, etc.
In general, the strata most distant from the centers of the rotating nebulae show a reduced rotational speed with reference to the speeds of structures near the centers; a lagging behind of the outer strata, as one should expect from great rotating gaseous bodies possessing very low internal friction.
The observational data enable us to compute the probable orders of mass in the rotating planetaries. These bodies seem to be much more massive than the solar system.
The forms and rotational motions of planetaries observed favor, in our opinion, the hypothesis that their figures are approximate ellipsoids of revolution.
The spectral lines of ten observed planetaries are doubled, at least for the inner structure of these nebulae. The most probable explanation of the doubling is that the centers of the broadened bright lines are reversed into dark lines by virtue of the absorption
It is difficult to account for the elliptic outline of the planetary nebulae (presumed to be composed of ellipsoidal shells in 3-dimensional space) unless the volumes between the characteristic sharp nuclei and the bright ring structures are filled with expansive gases or vapors that play an important part in maintaining the ellipsoidal shells in equilibrium.
Only about 125 planetary nebulae are known to exist, and the observed radial speeds of the planetaries are on the average six-fold that of the radial speeds of the brighter stars which most closely resemble them in spectral character. The scarcity and the high speeds of the planetaries are unfavorable to the view that the stars in general have evolved from planetary nebulae.
If the solar system has been evolved from a typical planetary nebula, we should probably have been justified in predicting that the planets near the sun would be of small mass, and those far from the sun of relatively great mass.
A further expected result might well be that the chemical composition of the minor planets would be quite different from that of the major planets.
The fifth paper, on “The Radial Velocity of the Greater Magellanic Cloud,” by Mr. R. E. Wilson, Acting Astronomer in Charge of the Mills Observatory, presents the detailed evidence for the conclusion that the Greater Cloud is a separate stellar structure, apparently quite independent of our great stellar system.
The sixth paper of the volume is entitled “The Wave-Lengths of the Nebular Bright Lines, and General Observations of the Spectra of the Gaseous Nebulae,” by Mr. W. H. Wright. This extensive piece of work was described in the last annual report, and we refer here merely to the general results and conclusions, as follows:
- The wave-lengths of the bright lines in nebular spectra, about seventy lines in all, including some lines not previously
― 144 ―reported, have been determined as accurately as their brightness permits. - The nuclei of the planetary nebulae have been found to give a continuous spectrum strong in ultra-violet light, indicating that they are at a very high temperature.
- Half of the observed nuclei exhibit the characteristic bands of the Wolf-Rayet or Class O stars, and they are probably all to be classed as belonging to the same general group as O stars. A definite connection is therefore established between the planetary nebulae and the Class O stars.
- There is no essential spectral difference between the Orion nebula and the planetary nebulae of the same spectral class. As the nebular spectrum appears to be sensitive to changes of physical condition in the source this justifies the presumption that the conditions in both the Orion and the planetary nebulae are comparable, a point of view that is supported by the fact that the stars involved in both have a high temperature and possess points of spectral similarity. Spectroscopic evidence does not, therefore, of itself, justify the separation of the planetary from the more extended nebulae, and the placing of one class at the beginning of stellar evolution and the other at the middle or end of it.
- From (c) it is to be inferred that the planetary nebulae occupy a place in cosmogony next to the Class O, and other high temperature stars. If these stars are in mid-development, that is also the position of the planetaries. From general considerations, however, and from (d), it seems more probable that all of the gaseous nebulae form a homogeneous group, corresponding to an early stage of cosmical development. This lends strength to the belief now generally, but not universally, held that the early stages of stellar evolution are characterized by the most intense heat, and that further development is accompanied by a continuously falling temperature.
- Many of the planetary nebulae, when photographed with the prismatic camera (slitless spectrograph), present a remarkable variety
of forms corresponding to the different nebular
― 145 ―lines. The significance of the variation is not understood. It may be due in part to differences in distribution of the component gases of the nebulae; in the case of the line 4686A and some other lines it appears to be almost certainly due to a localization of peculiar physical conditions. Other causes may also be effective in altering the apparent form of a nebula, for instance, selective absorption of some of the nebular materials themselves. Whatever the cause it is quite apparent that the image of a nebula as it appears in the telescope, or on a direct photograph, is an integrated one due to the superposition of many component images which are liable to be quite unlike. It follows that there is a limit to the value of telescopic or photographic observations in the study of nebular structure. - A spectrum, apparently continuous, which begins abruptly at about the limit of the Balmer series of hydrogen lines and extends into the ultra-violet has been found in the nebulae. It is undoubtedly the same spectrum as that observed by Evershed in the spectra of the solar chromosphere and prominences, and, as noted by him, corresponds with the ultra-violet absorption first observed by Huggins in the spectrum of Vega. It is probably part of the Balmer hydrogen series, and is of possible significance in the theory of radiation.
- The probable existence of carbon and nitrogen in the nebulae is indicated.
- A system of nebular classification is suggested.
Additional to the “new star” discovered in the spiral nebula N.G.C. 4527, referred to in the last report, Mr. Curtis has found two new stars, in the spiral nebula N.G.C. 4321. These discoveries, in connection with like discoveries in other spirals made at the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory, have enabled Mr. Curtis to draw interesting conclusions concerning the distances and dimensions of the spirals, as follows:
All the typical new stars discovered to date, more than 30 in number, have been situated either in the structure of our Milky Way or in the spiral nebulae. That the latter are really within the bodies of the spiral nebulae and not merely in the direction
The 36-inch refractor has been utilized every good night, about five nights per week, in the continuance of programmes for determining the radial velocities of the fainter naked eye stars, or of stars possessing special interest. The observers were Messrs. Moore, Paddock, Henroteau, and Thiele. Six hundred and fifty spectrograms of ordinary stars have been obtained, with 1-prism and 3-prism dispersions. The measurement and reduction of these plates, conducted principally by Miss Hobe, are nearly up to date.
The brightest new star observed in the heavens in the last four centuries was discovered in the constellation of Aquila on June 8, independently by many observers in many countries. An interesting history of its rapidly changing spectrum has been in process of recording, with 1-prism and 3-prism spectrographs attached to the 36-inch refractor, chiefly by Mr. Paddock. He and other assistants, observing the new star essentially every
During the year 31 spectrograms of nebulae were also secured with the 36-inch refractor in completion of the program of nebular radial velocity determinations.
The observational programme of the Observatory at Santiago has related exclusively to radial velocity determinations. During the year Messrs. Wilson and Huffer secured 11 spectrograms of nebulae, all with long exposures, and 329 spectrograms of stars. The measurement and reduction of these plates is complete to date.
Dr. Aitken has observed double stars with the 36-inch refractor on two nights per week throughout the year. He has made accurate measurements of the relative positions of the components of 1335 pairs. The observing list consisted chiefly of stars discovered to be double by himself in earlier years, his purpose being to determine which systems are in rapid orbital motion.
About 1800 of the more than 3000 Aitken double stars have now been re-measured by Mr. Aitken, and about 15 per cent of the 1800 have given definite evidence of relative motion in the interval of from 9 to 16 years since their discovery. Approximately 100 pairs have been proved to belong to the class of moderately short-period binaries. This is a higher percentage than he had expected to find.
Twenty-five new double stars were found in the year by Mr. Aitken, chiefly by reexamination of stars suspected by him in earlier years to be double.
Mr. Aitken has computed a new orbit for the binary star Sirius, which has resulted in an improvement of our knowledge concerning this interesting system. The period of revolution is almost precisely 50 years.
Mr. Aitken has devoted a goodly portion of his time during the year to the preparation of a volume entitled “The Binary
The work of the Meridian Circle department has been continued by Mr. Tucker, with his accustomed energy and high accuracy. The meridian observations of 1068 stars uniformly distributed over the zone lying between 50° and 55° of north declination, begun in the middle of the academic year 1916-17, were completed in March, 1918. This programme has required about 3500 meridian observations, and it is noteworthy that these were secured by one observer within a period of 14 months; in fact, the observations were all made in 12 of the 14 months. The preliminary reductions, such as are required to assure the continuance of high accuracy, were made promptly throughout the progress of the work, and about one-fifth of the definite reductions were complete on June 30th. The remainder of the reductions and the proper discussion of the results will occupy Mr. Tucker's attention throughout the coming year. Our observed positions of these 1068 stars will be used at the Allegheny Observatory as the basis for photographic determinations of the accurate positions of about 8600 stars in the same zone of the sky.
In the progress of this programme, Mr. Tucker has found a considerable number of stars which have proper motions of appreciable size.
Mr. Tucker has made a comprehensive study of the “visual magnitude scale” for the stars down to the ninth magnitude, with a view to isolating and explaining certain discrepancies in the existing systems of magnitudes. He has found that the brightness ratio of second magnitude stars to third magnitude stars is but little greater than 2, that the ratio for sixth and seventh magnitudes is very closely 2.5, for eighth and ninth magnitudes is about 3, and for the still fainter successive magnitudes is greater than 3. The variation in the ratio, as one proceeds from the brighter to the fainter grades of visual magnitudes, has resulted apparently from the great variety of methods employed in the evolution of the magnitude scale for the brighter stars and in the extension of the scale to the fainter magnitudes. The
Mr. Tucker's further study of the effect of stellar brilliancy upon the observed times of transit across the wires in the eyepiece of the meridian circle is in confirmation of the character and magnitude of this effect running through his observations of more than 20 years past. The constancy of this and other important terms which combine to form the personal equation, and his ability to predict quite precisely the values of the probable errors attaching to the observations which he will make, are evidence as to Mr. Tucker's special qualifications as a meridian observer.
Many minor studies have been prosecuted within the year by various members of the staff; e.g., the determination of the accurate positions of comets, asteroids, and stars of special interest, by Messrs. Aitken, Thiele, and others; the finding of a considerable number of stars whose radial velocities vary, both at Mount Hamilton and at Santiago, thus establishing their binary character; the determination of the orbits of several spectroscopic binary stars, by Messrs. Paddock, Wilson, and Henroteau; the discovery and observation of bright bands in the spectrum of a spiral nebula, N.G.C. 4151, and the determination of the velocity of recession of that nebula 940 km./sec., by Messrs. Campbell and Paddock; observations of the occultation of 7 Aquarii by the planet Venus, by several observers with the 36-inch and 12-inch refractors, and interesting conclusions drawn therefrom by Mr. Thiele, etc.
Mr. Aitken was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in April, 1918.
Mr. Campbell was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London in January, 1918.
A number of lectures on astronomical subjects were delivered by various members of the staff.
At the Semicentenary celebration of the founding of the University of California in March, 1918, Mr. Campbell delivered an address on “The International Relations of Science, with Special Reference to the Pacific Ocean Region.”

Lower Division--Dean of the Lower Division
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith a report on the work of the office of the Dean of the Lower Division for the year ending June 30, 1918.
While this office is, in theory, primarily concerned only with the two lower classes, no such line of division is possible in dealing with the problems that arise. The business of the office has to do with the entire undergraduate body. The work of admissions, and supervision of programmes of study for the lower classes, indicate duties that affect only the Lower Division; housing accommodations for the student body, relations of fraternities to the University, questions of discipline, military activities of the University, etc., concern the entire student body and are centered in this office. These latter duties have become more extensive than those dealing wholly with the Lower Division.
War conditions have necessarily made many changes in the undergraduate life of the University. Upper classmen are relatively few in number, and great credit is due the few remaining seniors for the manner in which they have directed student affairs during the past year. University affairs, as the usual primary interest, have however, given way to the more important business of the nation. The undergraduate has regarded his stay in the University as temporary. Some have tried to make the most of their opportunity before being called to service; others have become restless, and as a consequence, have accomplished little in their University work.
The problem confronting the fraternities is becoming increasingly difficult. The lower classes predominate in the houses. In some no seniors are left. It has, therefore, been impossible for the few men in charge to maintain the standards of the chapters that formerly were upheld through the strong influence of a large body of upperclassmen. Owing to the difficulty of keeping a full membership, and the increased cost of living, fraternities have had difficulty in meeting financial obligations. Some have had to abandon their chapter houses entirely, others have combined under one roof, and thus have been able to solve the problem of living. One house-club found it necessary to dissolve. Presumably still greater difficulties will be encountered during the coming year. It would appear better, in many cases, for chapters to become entirely inactive for the period of the war, rather than to try to maintain an existence, the benefits of which are not commensurate with the difficulties and expense involved.
It has been suggested that new clubs of women be formed to take over men's houses where the club or fraternity finds it impossible to continue, thus assisting the latter with their leasing or other financial obligations. This in itself should prove of assistance in meeting the housing difficulties of the women students, which, owing to the crowded condition of Berkeley and the high prices, will become serious during the coming year.
Much credit is due the student body for their intense interest and activity in war service. They have shown skill and ability in organizing campaigns for obtaining contributions and have given generously both of their time and means for the support of war activities.
Medical School--San Francisco
Summary of Medical School Reports
Submitted to the Dean by Departments
July 1, 1918
Anatomy
Mention has been made in a previous report of the desirability of liberalizing the programme of studies for the Doctorate in Medicine so that aptitude and capacity for independent work will constitute an essential part of the training required. A distinct gain in this direction has already been accomplished by the unanimous recommendation of the Advisory Board of the Medical Faculty against the creation of special medical research degrees, which have appeared attractive to some faculties, but in favor of continued elevation of standard in the character of our curriculum. Attention may again be directed to the great need of the physical union of the Medical School at the Parnassus site. The student who undertakes to get a well balanced training in medicine while concerning himself with even modest investigative activities in any of the fundamental medical sciences finds a continuance of those studies impossible under present conditions.
Instruction in some of the underlying medical sciences will often form an important part of an academic programme of studies for students in agriculture, in any of the biological sciences, in public health curricula and in physical education. Provision for such instruction should not cripple the power of the departments concerned to continue the high standard of laboratory instruction necessary in the School of Medicine and yet should set free ample time for the accomplishment of research. It would appear wise that with the further growth of these needs in Berkeley, instructors for these special purposes be from time to time added to the Medical Department staffs where opportunities for fostering the subjects concerned will always be in excess of what could be secured by the separation of such special instruction or the creation of duplicate departments. One or two courses of this type are at present urgently needed in the Department of Anatomy.
In research activities the department has brought to conclusion several of the distinct lines of effort with which it has been mainly concerned during the last two or three years. These concern studies on the vital benzidine dyes, the physiological anatomy of reproduction in the rat, the histogenesis of the corpus luteum, the effect of corpus luteum preparations on ovulation, the effect of hypophysectomy in the Amphibian embryo on growth, metamorphosis and pigmentation and on the other endocrine organs, the existence of a fibrillar framework produced by endothelium in the capillaries of various regions of the body, the proof of the continuity of the dentinal tabules with enamel cul de sacs and many other specific problems in cell or organ structure related to one another in a definite programme of research characterized perhaps best as physiological histology.
Professor Evans was elected a member of the newly constituted Committee on the Anatomical Sciences of the National Research Council.
Biochemistry and Pharmacology
Members of the department have continued the investigations which have been in progress for the past four years on the nature and action of substances which influence growth and in particular the action of tethelin, the growth-controlling substance which has been isolated from the anterior lobe of the pituitary body. The experiments of Dr. Barney have advanced evidence of the efficiency of tethelin in the treatment of chronic ulcers. With Dr. Burnett, investigations were carried out to determine the relationship of the chemical constitution of certain substances to acceleration of the growth of carcinomata.
Dr. Haas, holding the Sheldon Traveling Fellowship of Harvard University, spent a year at this department and carried out investigations on the preparation and properties of ovalbumin and on the electrochemical equivalent of casein, using a new method of attack.
Guy W. Clark pursued studies on the properties and composition of oocytin, the fertilizing and cytolising substance isolated from mammalian blood serum.
Dr. Wasteneys has continued his investigations on natural and acquired tolerance to drugs and Dr. Sundstroem has investigated acclimatization to high altitudes and the origin of mountain or aviation sickness. This latter work is important on account of the problems which have arisen in connection with aviation.
Mr. S. Hanson has devised a new method of estimating the antitryptic index of blood serum, and also has shown that the protein quotient of rabbits remained constant both during periods of intensive feeding and prolonged starvation. In conjunction with I. McQuarrie, he found that antipyretics, sodium cacodylate and thyroid extract were without effect on the protein quotient.
Mr. F. I. Harris and Mr. H. S. Hoyt conducted experiments on the protective action of amino acids for certain organisms exposed to ultraviolet light. Dr. F. M. Hill conducted studies on the pharmacological action of certain substances which cause a rise of temperature when injected into rabbits.
Dr. Schmidt investigated certain properties of tethelin and apparently established a possible relationship between the split products of tethelin and the active substance of the posterior lobe of the pituitary body. With Mr. Watson, he carried out investigations on the metabolism of taurin and, with Mrs. Ellefson, studies on the serum proteins of rabbits. His work was again made possible by the continuance of the grant from the Hooper Foundation.
The great need of the department is for additional space. The Physiology Building has, with the expansion of classes, become large enough only for one department. It is impossible to do justice to students under the present badly cramped conditions.
Medicine
With the opening of the University Hospital, the department has been provided with adequate material for clinical instruction. The arrangement of the wards has proved entirely satisfactory. The well-equipped X-ray and Clinical laboratories have permitted much more careful study of patients and much closer correlation of the various methods of examination. Under a staff kept closely in touch with the activities of the hospital, the Out-Patient Medical Clinic has shown a large increase in the number of daily visits. The material is carefully handled and cases in need of special study or treatment are referred to the hospital wards for further investigation. The ability to choose material in this way is of great advantage to the teaching department.
The changes now under way in the Out-Patient Clinic will permit the removal of the Tuberculosis Clinic in the near future from down town to rooms adjacent to the Medical Clinic. For the first time, the cases necessary for proper instruction in tuberculosis will be provided and a long-felt want in clinical teaching will be filled.
During the past year, certain schools of medicine have disappeared from the field of medical teaching in the San Francisco Hospital, and its magnificent clinical opportunities have been offered the two universities. This provides 90 beds for the Department of Medicine and 135 for the teaching of chronic tuberculosis. The rearrangement of beds and the closer association of the staff with that of the University Hospital will permit a different method of clinical teaching in the coming year, a method which should prove much more efficient and satisfactory. In the future, whenever possible, a larger budget should be provided to improve equipment in the laboratories and wards in order to put these on a par with the standards of the University Hospital.
In spite of the demands of the war on medical men, the department has been able to carry on satisfactory instruction and to meet the demands of increased hospital service. This has only been possible through the efforts of the remaining staff. Part-time men have devoted more hours daily to the department and have also assisted various war boards.
Eight men left the department in August, 1917, to enter the United States armed service. The loss of the full-time men, Dr. Kilgore and Dr. Whitney, has been acutely felt. There will be urgent necessity for more such men in the future, in order to give the best hospital service and to develop an efficient resident staff.

Neurology and Psychiatry
Owing to the absence of three of the members of this department who are at the front, additional duties have devolved upon the two remaining members who do the chief clinical work.
The work is still largely clinical in character and lacks the finer elaboration of the laboratory. It is the hope of Drs. Lennon and Harvey that in the near future their time may be so arranged that they can specialize in laboratory investigation, for which both are fitted by long training.
Visits to the Out-Patient Clinic increased to 7377 during the year, with 717 new patients. The department has endeavored to give as much time as possible to the Indoor Department, and to the San Francisco Hospital.
Dr. Milton B. Lennon has acted as a member of the Medical Advisory Board. Both he and Dr. Richard Harvey contributed papers at the meeting of the State Medical Society at Del Monte, and Dr. Harvey read a second paper at Sacramento. Dr. Harvey in addition to his work in Neurology, has conducted the work in Serology.
Dr. Robert Richards has acted as General Director of Psycopathic Work in the various military cantonments on the Pacific Coast.
Dr. Podstata gave his regular lectures in Psychiatry, and a special elective course in the Psychoneuroses, which was of an exceptional standard of excellence.
It is the sincere hope of the department that with the termination of the war an adequate laboratory will be provided, without which it is impossible to do the very best University work in Neurology.
Obstetrics and Gynecology
The year has been spent chiefly in perfecting the organization of our department and in utilizing the equipment of the new hospital. Four thousand eight hundred and fifty ambulatory cases have been treated in the Woman's Clinic and the hospital beds have been kept filled with persons available for teaching purposes. Four hundred and fifty women were delivered in the Maternity Service without death, while more than 400 gynecologic operations were performed by members of the staff, with two deaths. A laboratory technician on half time has done much towards relieving the burden of the routine examination of the pathologic material. The follow-up system has given a clear insight into the results of clinical work.
A great deal of attention has been paid to the teaching of internes, which has been done not only through ward rounds but by weekly staff meetings at which all cases discharged during the week were reviewed, with a study of histories and of the pathologic material. In as much as the department has not yet found a way to increase the number of members of the staff, the teaching problem remains acute. The department
Pathology and Bacteriology
The regular undergraduate course in bacteriology was attended by 124 students; of these, 30 received a grading of 2 or better, which qualifies them, according to a now well-defined departmental policy, to enter the courses in Medical Bacteriology and Infection and Immunity, for advanced work. The tendency is toward a stricter grading and therefore a more rigid selection of students allowed this privilege; in 1917, for example, 73 out of 166 qualified. A manual formulating the present status of laboratory instruction was published in January as one of the University syllabus series and was successfully used by the students.
For the first time, an undergraduate research course was scheduled in the spring of 1918 to meet the needs of certain advanced students who have formerly enrolled in graduate research courses. Twelve undergraduate students have undertaken researches during the year.
Fifty-two students were enrolled for instruction in Medical Bacteriology, of whom 20 were in the academic branch. In justification of the more rigid selection recently instituted for non-medical students electing Medical Bacteriology, it is pointed out that there were no failures in this group this year, as contrasted with a failure of 50 per cent last year; furthermore, the distribution of grades among medical and non-medical students was essentially the same this year. Five students were enrolled in Immunochemistry, offered by Dr. Schmidt for the first term.
As to graduate research courses, the registration has been necessarily reduced owing to the segregation of undergraduate students. Five graduate students have pursued special problems during the year under the supervision of Professors Gay and Hall. As usual, such students have come solely from the academic group, and we may well reiterate Professor Gay's criticism of the medical curriculum in that it fails to provide opportunity in the first two years for the development of those individual viewpoints which are believed to be so important to the successful professional man.
Next year a new course to be known as Anaerobic Bacteriology will be offered by Professor Hall to advanced students during the second semester.
Dr. Cooke resigned at the end of the first half year, and Dr. Rusk took up his teaching duties. Dr. Rusk has been ably assisted by Mr. G. S. Delamere, who fills the place formerly occupied by Dr. Rehfisch.
Dr. Gay's absence for the period of the war has left the administrative affairs of the department and his teaching duties in the hands of Professor Hall. A report of the war work accomplished by members of the faculty and the student body is contained in the University War Service Record, published as a supplement to the President's Report.
Mr. Barnes has nearly completed an exhaustive study of the streptococci in which he has shown the correlation of fermentation tests of these organisms with their serum precipitin reactions.
Miss Juanita Van Meter, in collaboration with Professor Hall, has completed a thorough study of “The Bacteriology of Peanut Butter and the Germicidal Action of Arachis Oil,” showing the freedom of commercial peanut butter from colon bacilli and intestinal pathogens in spite of rather obvious opportunities for bacterial contamination.
Dr. Takeoka has continued his study of experimental tuberculosis in laboratory animals.
Through action of the Advisory Board of the Medical School the Department of Pathology and Bacteriology is to be divided after July 1, 1918, into separate departments for the period of the war, with Professors Rusk and Hall as respective acting heads. It is hoped that this step may be one which will lead to a solution of the serious problem of congestion which confronts the Bacteriological Department. The capacity of the laboratory is limited to 60 students and will just accommodate the incoming medical class without any opportunity for non-medical students in advanced courses. The immediate removal of the Department of Pathology to San Francisco so that the laboratory space may be made available for non-medical instruction, and the small rooms now occupied by the Pathology staff may be available for the increased number of research students, is urged by Professor Hall.
Pediatrics
The declaration of war by the United States brought many changes. On the 1st of July, the head of the department, Dr. Lucas, left for France to take charge of the Children's Bureau for the American Red Cross. At this time there were 10 assistants and internes on the clinical staff; on January 1, 1918, of this number only four remained. It has been impossible to fill all of these vacancies. As no internes were available it became necessary to appoint four senior students as students in residence in the hospital. Dr. Florence M. Holsclaw and Dr. Ellen S. Stadtmuller were added to the clinical staff. Further to facilitate ward work, a laboratory technician was added.
The new hospital was opened in August and there are now available in the pediatric unit 40 beds for medical, and 10 beds for surgical, cases. In addition, with the continued coöperation of Doctor Lynch, Head of the Women's Department, the Children's Service has the medical supervision of the newborn. The quarters in the new hospital have been
The Out-Patient Clinic has been under the direction of Dr. E. C. Fleischner, with Drs. A. E. Meyers, Florence M. Holsclaw, Ellen S. Stadtmuller and W. A. Woods as assistants. There have been 9856 visits to the clinic during the past year, a slightly smaller number than for the same period of the preceding year. This is due to several causes: the disorganization of the staff caused by the war; a prolonged street car strike, and especially to the lack of accommodations for patients. This last condition will be remedied only when new quarters will be available in the Medical School Building. More space is absolutely necessary to enable the clinical staff to give students greater clinical advantages.
The Pediatric Department of the Children's Hospital was utilized during the first semester for bedside teaching and during the second semester for the demonstration of selected cases to those fourth-year students who elected pediatrics.
During the 10 weeks of pediatric service at the San Francisco Hospital, groups of third-year students were assigned to Doctor Fleischner.
The medical supervision of the Juvenile Court has been continued this year with some difficulty, because of the large service that had to be rendered by a limited staff. Psychological examinations of the wards of the Court have been made by Dr. Bridgman, and by the members of her class in Philosophy 143, under her supervision. Mental examinations of selected cases from St. Catherine's Home, the Roman Catholic Orphanage, Berkeley Dispensary and from two of the Berkeley Public Schools, were also made by these students. Dr. Bridgman has coöperated with the Bureau of Venereal Diseases of the State Board of Health in making mental examinations of special cases and in lecturing on mental deficiency and its relation to venereal diseases in San Francisco and various other cities and towns throughout the state.
The Medical supervision of the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children has been in charge of Dr. Ellen S. Stadtmuller.
In February of this year the Protestant Orphanage, an institution in which about 125 children are enrolled, was placed under the medical supervision of the department.
All these affiliated institutions contribute valuable teaching cases to the department and give it the opportunity of assisting in child welfare work.
Several papers have been published by members of the department during the past year. Dr. Lucas sent an interesting report on “Work of the Children's Bureau, Department of Civil Affairs, American Red Cross, France.” Eight other papers have been published by Doctors Fleischner, Bridgman, Watters and Ash. The department was well represented
The clinical staff is by no means complete nor will it be possible to fill it as the staff lists of other hospitals and clinics in San Francisco and elsewhere are similarly depleted. All the members of the Pediatric Department have worked to their maximum capacity in order to replace as far as possible those who are now absent in their country's service.
Physiology
All members of the staff of this department have been on duty throughout the year; they have faithfully performed their teaching functions and all have been actively engaged in research work.
The crowded condition of rooms mentioned in the last two reports has remained acute.
The total number of student registrations for the year has been 499. It is probable that the demands upon the department will be greater in the coming year.
Surgery
With the opening of the new University Hospital, the work of the Surgical Department has very materially increased. The beds available for this department, with its subdivisions of Orthopedics, Urology, Ear, Nose and Throat, and Eye, are 76. Of these, Surgery has 39 beds.
Sufficient time has elapsed to demonstrate that the new hospital is in every way an unqualified success. The accommodations for patients are excellent and the operating unit is well designed and thoroughly equipped. It needs, however, but a short glimpse into the future to foresee an over-taxing of capacity and the need for at least double the present bed accommodations.
Fifteen of the staff out of a total of 38 have gone into the army or into other government service. The department has lost through death a valued instructor, Dr. Fayette W. Birtch, who had been giving important ward instruction.
The Out-Patient Department has progressed satisfactorily, but the limited personnel has made it difficult at times to handle all the applicants.
The assignment of Medical Officers of the United States Army for special training has necessitated additional teaching hours on the part of a number of instructors, but the work has been most cheerfully done.
Los Angeles Medical Department
LOS ANGELES, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the Los Angeles Medical Department for the year 1917-18.
The Los Angeles Medical Department, in its function as a school for graduates of medicine, gave instruction during the last year to more than 60 matriculants. The work of the department has gone steadily forward and the training given has enabled many of these licensed practitioners of medicine and surgery to do their daily work in better fashion than heretofore.
The war has caused a number of changes in the teaching staff, many of the younger men having gone into the service. A large percentage of the alumni of this department have gone into the Medical Reserve Corps.
The facilities of the institution have been placed at the disposal of the government from the beginning of the war. The Aviation Examining Unit for the Pacific Southwest was established here. Captain Bowman used the facilities of instruction to train medical officers who were being fitted as specialists in X-Ray work. Lieutenant Wilson gave training to medical officers in Orthopedic Surgery.
The second floor of the hospital building has been given over to the Medical Examining Board of the Southern District, and the facilities of the institution are much appreciated by the examiners. It is hoped that the department can continue to be of similar service in other lines, and to take an active part in the reconstruction work which is ahead of us.
During the last year, the Uplifters Club of Los Angeles donated $1100 to better equip the first floor of the hospital building, so that children operated upon could be better cared for.
The students who have matriculated have expressed their pleasure and appreciation of the opportunities for work which were placed at their disposal.
It is the desire of the teaching staff to make these facilities and opportunities constantly better and greater.
Pharmacy--California College of Pharmacy
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the College of Pharmacy for the year 1917-18.
The year has been marked by unrest, due, of course, to the great war. Small groups of our students have enlisted and individuals have absented themselves from their classes to appear later in the training camps and stations of the Army and Navy. A service flag with its 91 stars tells of our students and graduates who have entered the service, as did many of their ancestors.
Owing to the dearth of graduates, vacancies have occurred in the pharmacies of the Pacific Coast, thereby placing even greater responsibility upon our undergraduates, who may be actively employed in filling the places which were formerly occupied by older men who have now joined the colors.
The Board of Directors has experienced a serious loss in the death of Mr. Richard E. White after years of long and faithful service as director and treasurer. The Board has been much gratified by the return to San Francisco of Mr. John H. Dawson, who has recently been re-elected to the directorate.
With respect to our financial condition, it is gratifying to state that the college owes nothing and has a moderate reserve set aside for just such lean years as this great war has brought upon us.
University of California Press
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I hereby respectfully submit the following report for the University of California Press for the year 1917-18.
The busiest year the office of the University Press has experienced closed on June 30, 1918, leaving for its successor the prospect of an equally interesting period in 1918-19. The publishing activities of the University in these two years will have concerned themselves with the production, in addition to the established series publications, of a series of works issued in commemoration of the Semicentenary of the University of California. The history of these publications begins in 1912 when the President of the University suggested the appropriateness of such a manner of celebrating the University's fiftieth birthday and recommended consideration of the matter by the Editorial Committee of the Academic Senate, the advisory body for the University Press. The President's suggestion was adopted and careful thought was given to the carrying out of the project. The character and scope of the contributions that would be acceptable were presented to the attention of the members of the University. The years between the inception of the plan in 1912 and the appearance of the first of the volumes in the year 1918 have witnessed much labor and some disappointments, but in the year just closed some noteworthy volumes have been published, and the coming year will add many important works to the list. The titles of the twenty volumes that have thus far been issued by the University Press itself and in the publishing trade, are as follows:
- C. H. RIEBER: Footnotes to Formal Logic.
- E. P. VAN DUZEE: Catalogue of the Hemiptera of America North of Mexico, excepting the Aphididae, Coccidae and Aleurodidae.
- G. M. STRATTON: Theophrastus and the Greek Physiological Psychology before Aristotle.
- W. WESTERGAARD: The Danish West Indies under Company Rule (1671-1754), with a Supplementary Chapter (1755-1917).
- R. GITTINGER: The Formation of the State of Oklahoma (1803-1906).
- H. E. CORY: Edmond Spenser--a Critical Study.
- C. G. CHINARD: L'exotisme americain dans l'oeuvre de Chateaubriand.
- W. M. HART: Kipling the Story Writer.
- W. A. MERRILL: Lucreti De Rerum Natura Libri Sex.
- G. R. NOYES: Pan Tadeusz; or, The Last Foray in Lithuania--a story of life among Polish gentlefolk in the years 1811 and 1812, by Adam Mickiewicz.
- G. R. NOYES: Plays by Alexander Ostrovsky--A Protegee of the Mistress, Poverty is No Crime, Sin and Sorrow are Common to All, It's a Family Affair--We'll Settle it Ourselves.
- G. R. NOYES: Tolstoy.
- BIOLETTI, CRUESS, and DAVI: Changes in the Chemical Composition of Grapes During Ripening.
- M. KRUNICH: Serbia Crucified.
- C. M. GAYLEY: Shakespeare and the Founders of Liberty in America.
- A. W. RYDER: Twenty-two Goblins.
- F. SLATE: Fundamental Equations of Dynamics.
- T. B. ROBERTSON: The Physical Chemistry of the Proteins.
- R. C. TOLMAN: The Theory of the Relativity of Motion.
- F. P. GAY: Typhoid Fever, Considered as a Problem of Scientific Medicine.
To give a more detailed statement of the year's work, there have been published during 1917-18 under the supervision of the University Press, excluding bulletins and circulars of the Agricultural Experiment Station, four issues of the University of California Chronicle (577 pages), Syllabi (1117 pages), the Bulletins of the Lick Observatory and the Berkeley Astronomical Department (76 pages), and Weinstock Lectures (245 pages), in addition to 90 titles, 9196 pages, and 126 plates, appearing in various of the 24 established series of publications of the University. In final page proof and ready for the presses are some 3000 pages (16 titles); about 1600 pages are carried over to 1918-19 in various stages of manufacture (about the same amount of work was carried over from 1917-18) and there are
A serious problem confronts the University Press in the proper preparation and manufacture of the material submitted for illustration in the publication series. During the past year the Editorial Committee has given much time to the consideration of the question of securing a permanent paper stock to be used for the printing of certain plates to appear in a large and important scientific work. The coöperation of the United States Bureau of Standards, and of a number of the leading paper manufacturers of the United States was enlisted, and the University Press is now planning to issue during the coming year, in the semicentennial series, a quarto volume in which the plates will be printed upon what promises to be a permanent paper. Careful thought is also being given to the formation of some plan through which, with the coöperation of editors, and of the authors of contributions submitted for publication in the University series, it is hoped that the proper preparation of copy for illustration may be secured. The engraving work completed and under way at this time is both of unusual amount and of exceptional quality owing to the demands of certain semicentennial publications. The amount spent on engraving work in 1917-18 was $3694.28.
Attention should be drawn to the Syllabus series, the usefulness and extent of which are constantly growing. In the Syllabus series during 1917-18, 12 syllabi were issued, totaling 1117 pages, selling at prices ranging from twenty cents to two dollars. This does not include the syllabi issued in mimeograph form.
The mailing department of the University Press deserves a word. It is very seriously hampered because the space now devoted to it in the printing office building is inadequate, not only for the handling of incoming publications and the despatching of mailing lists but also for the storing of even a current supply of stock. Upon even this limited space the printing office has been steadily encroaching, and it must be admitted the needs of the printing plant justify the incursion. The amount of work performed in the mailing room is constantly increasing. The filling of the daily orders for sales of publications; the distribution on regular mailing lists and on miscellaneous calls; the wrapping and storing accompanying the making up of the separate numbers into sets of complete volumes upon issuance of title page and index; the annual stock-taking; the clerical work in the keeping of the stock record sheets for the individual publications and the exchange distribution records; the work done for other departments--all make up a variety of detailed tasks, and the lack of proper facilities for handling the work and for even the proper filing of records places great difficulties in the way of the Press.
In November, 1916, the University of California Press was invited to join with other university presses in the experiment of maintaining in New York City a joint agency for the handling of the publications of university presses, the expenses being generously borne by the Yale University Press and the Harvard University Press. Under the name “The University Press Association” this office was opened and its operation has brought to our publications the important advantages of having a representative stock of University of California Publications assembled in New York, accessible to prospective customers for examination. Thus a prompt delivery of the orders received in the east is
The advertising of the University Press this last year was planned with a view to bringing to the notice of a selected public specific papers or volumes in the hope of arousing a particular interest and demand. The media of advertisement have been standard journals. Returns from advertising are hard to determine, but we feel that we are able to discern a distinct connection between the advertisement and the sale orders and requests for lists of our publications that are received. The amount of money that was expended for advertising is $270.61.
The University Press has already been affected by the war. At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean are today manuscript and proof from Leiden, The Netherlands, where the publishing firm of The Late E. J. Brill, Ltd. is printing a paper in Arabic for our Semitic Philology series. We know that at least one torpedoed vessel carried several packages of University of California publications to addresses in Europe, largely in Great Britain and Ireland. How many others of our volumes have been lost, is unknown. Some of our sister institutions have suspended entirely the distribution of published material until safer passage may be expected. The Smithsonian Institution, however, is still accepting shipments of publications for distribution to a restricted number of foreign countries. The shipment of University publications made up this past year for distribution to foreign exchanges contains, besides administrative and agricultural bulletins, 62 titles, representing 10 series, and is being sent to some 300 addresses outside of North America. This small number of addresses (only about 50 per cent of the normal number) indicates the extent to which the war has affected the distribution of printed material.

Scripps Institution for Biological Research
LA JOLLA, California, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I present herewith my report for the year July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1918.
It will be advantageous to divide the report this year into two main divisions, one dealing with the usual, or regular work of the Institution; the other with its special, or war work.
Regular Work
Oceanographic.--In view of the possible significance, as indicated by last year's observations, of temperature and other data pertaining to the sea-water, for “long range” weather and other kinds of forecasting, special attention has been given this year to data-collecting, both from the pier and on the weekly and monthly boat trips. Temperatures of air as well as of water have been taken. Dr. McEwen has been ably assisted in the time-consuming work of specific gravity and other determinations by Mr. N. W. Cummings, a graduate student and voluntary assistant in physics. Mr. Cummings also has developed a shorter way of making computations and has improved the method of measuring the specific gravity of sea water.
The weekly boat work consisted of visits to a station fifteen miles west of La Jolla. The monthly cruises have been over the same course, as closely as possible, from San Pedro to a point about 50 miles west of San Nicolas Island, returning
The work on problems of oceanic temperatures and circulation, referred to in previous reports has been critically reexamined and extended, the results being now embodied in an extensive paper, “Ocean Temperatures, Their Relation to Solar Radiation and Oceanic Circulation,” by G. F. McEwen, to be published as one of the Semicentenary Publications of the University.
Plankton Work.--It was Professor Kofoid's expectation to complete this year the first of the three parts of his monograph on the Dinoflagellates, dealing with the Gyannodinionidae. The magnitude of the task of describing adequately the seemingly infinite wealth of details presented by these microscopic organisms is indicated by the fact that this first division of the monograph will treat of more than 350 species and 45 genera. Had not Professor Kofoid entered the army to take charge of hookworm work for the medical department, we should undoubtedly have had the satisfaction of seeing this part of his monograph in print soon. His complete severance from the work leaves it in the hands of Dr. Swezy, and it is hoped that her long service as Professor Kofoid's assistant and collaborator will enable her to bring this division to a conclusion by the end of the year. In view of the uncertainity as to when Professor Kofoid will be able to resume his regular duties, and as to the work of the Institution in the immediate future, because of the war, it seems best to let the publication of the part of the monograph now nearly completed mark a temporary interruption of this investigation. It must, however, be understood that the interruption is indeed temporary. The undertaking is too fundamental, both from a scientific and economic standpoint, and has been carried too far to permit any thought of leaving it partly done, even though the labor and expense of completing it will be great. In view of these conditions, Dr. Swezy's connection with the work and with the Institution terminates at the end of the year.
Practically all the work in marine biology, except that on the Dinoflagillates, is now subordinated, in one way and another, to fisheries problems, further general mention of which is made under the head of war work of the Institution.
Dr. Esterly's general paper, “Field Research and Laboratory Experiment: Their Places in Ascertaining and Explaining Habits in Nature” (Bull. No. 4, Scripps Institution) has attracted attention both from the standpoint of subject matter and that of methods employed.
Investigations on Heredity and Environmental Influence.--The investigations by Dr. Sumner, assisted by Mr. Collins, have progressed notably during the year in several ways. The rigorously scientific collecting and field studies being carried on at several strategic localities in California, where different subspecies, or races of the group of mice, the “white footed mice,” occur is certainly throwing new light upon the subject, still obscure in spite of the great attention it has received, of the existence and distribution and formation of new kinds of higher animals. That groups of animals as high in the scale as mice differentiate into sub-groups in localities not isolated from one another more than are Fort Bragg, Duncan Mills, and Calistoga is certainly an important fact of organic evolution, whatever be its explanation. And it becomes all the more interesting when viewed together with the fact of local differentation of language at least, among the Indians of California. Deserving of mention in connection with these researches is the methodological fact that without the application of the most careful measurements which can be made, and statistical methods, the group differences could not be detected, though unquestioned when these methods are employed. The preparation and measurement of 1500 skeletons in one batch indicates something of the laboriousness of such studies.
On the genetic side, interesting results continue to be reached from crossing wild races and mutants; on the appearance of mutants; and on Mendelian inheritance.
The general paper by Dr. Sumner, “Modern Conceptions of Heredity, and Genetic Studies at the Scripps Institution” (Bull.
The work of instruction due from the Scripps Institution to the Department of Zoology at Berkeley was given this year by Mr. E. L. Michael, the desire being to have other phases of the Institution's activities represented than those with which the Scientific Director, who alone has heretofore given the courses at the University, is professionally identified. Unfortunately Mr. Michael was not able to carry his course quite through the semester owing to illness; but the plan of wider representation of the Institution's work at Berkeley is undoubtedly sound, and it is hoped can be carried out.
The only two scientific members of the Institution subject to draft for the army, Mr. Frank Thone, Assistant and Secretary to the Director, and Mr. N. W. Cummings, Voluntary Assistant in Oceanography, have been taken from the Institution to enter the service.
During the year, the Scientific Director has brought to completion and placed in the hands of the publisher three books, “The Higher Usefulness of Science and Other Essays”; “The Unity of the Organism or the Organismal Conception of Life”; and “The Probable Infinity of Nature and Life.”
War Work
The definitive war work of the Scripps Institution is connected with the kelp and fishing industries of the California coast.
Kelp Industry.--The Institution's function in this industry is to furnish the State Game and Fish Commission information and advice based on scientific inquiry, as to when the different kelp beds shall be declared “open” and when “closed,” i.e.,
The requisite information is obtained by general and special inquiry. General inquiry consists in rather frequent general examinations of the “beds” to ascertain the state of growth, abundance, health, and so on, of the plants. Special inquiry consists in botanical studies on the plants, such problems as their sporulation, embryogeny, bacterial infection, etc., receiving attention.
The work is in the immediate charge of Mr. W. C. Crandall. The botanical investigations are being performed by Dr. R. P. Brandt.
The rather elaborate scheme of dividing the entire kelp area into numbered units and securing a “gentleman's agreement” among the harvesting companies as to which shall cut in different places is largely due to Mr. Crandall. Funds for prosecuting this work are derived from a state-imposed tonnage tax on the wet kelp harvested, the proceeds being allotted jointly to the State Game and Fish Commission and the Scripps Institution.
Fishing Industry.--Work of the Institution in this field is of several kinds, which may be classified according to the agencies by which they are carried on.
(1) The Institution in coöperation with the United States Bureau of Fisheries.
During and for sometime after the fishing season of 1917, “experimental fishing” was done for the purpose of ascertaining more definitely than the industrial fishing has determined, the area over which “tuna” (the long-finned albacore) may be obtained; where these fishes go when they leave the fishing area in the fall; and other matters involving the distribution and life habits of the fish. The aim of this work was to get information which would enable the fishermen to ply their vocation more effectively and increase the output.
Also in connection with the Bureau of Fisheries, a report is being prepared on the relation of the fishing done in waters under the jurisdiction of the United States to that done in waters
The Bureau of Fisheries furnishes the money expended directly on these inquiries, the Institution contributing certain facilities, and some labor of its scientific staff and workmen. The scientific director of the Institution has been appointed Director of Operations by the Bureau for its work in this region, and Mr. W. C. Crandall, its special agent for certain purposes.
(2) The Institution in coöperation with the United States Bureau of Chemistry and the Federal Food Administration.
The work here consists of experiments on methods of preserving fish, other than canning. Smoking, kippering, dry-salting and brine-salting are being tried, and various species of fish are utilized, special attention being given to sardines too large for canning.
The Bureau of Chemistry has assigned an expert, Mr. Horace Davi, to this work. The Institution provides laboratory and other facilities, and the fresh fish, in part, used in the experiments.
(3) In coöperation with the Council of Defense of California.
The problem undertaken in this connection is that of bringing the Institution's programme of research on the “plankton” as the fundamental food supply of commercial fishes, and on the hydrography of the fishing area, as part of the environment of the fishes, into the service of the fishing industry. The aim here has been two fold: the possible increase of productiveness of the industry; and the furnishing of information on which to base regulative and protective measures for the industry. The funds supplied by the Council of Defense for this work during the last year will not be continued next year, but the Institution plans to keep up the investigations in part, at least, on its own account.
(4) Perhaps the most important of all, is Mr. Crandall's services as Fish Administrator for southern California under the National Food Administration. This responsible position absorbs the major part of Mr. Crandall's time, and the Institution is obliged to adjust its affairs accordingly, which it does very gladly.
Summer Session
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: The plans for the Summer Session had been completed before the breaking off of diplomatic relations with Germany; the Bulletin had been published before the declaration of war. Beyond the addition of a few war-time courses, special adaptation of the session to the needs of the moment was therefore impossible. Our students, however, seemed to take the view that an increase in personal efficiency might add to the general efficiency of the nation; the total enrollment was 3979, or four more than that for 1916. Of this number, 917 were men, a loss of 273 as compared with the previous year, and 3062 were women. To the total enrollment should be added the 524 students of the special term, May 21 to June 23, 1917, dealt with in my last report.
The distribution of enrollment among the various departments was not markedly different from that of 1916. In general, the more practical subjects gained somewhat at the expense of the humanities, and courses of interest mainly to men showed a certain decrease; but the differences can be accounted for largely on the basis of the popularity of certain courses or of certain instructors. The marked increase in registration in Commerce, Criminology, and Public Health is, however, significant of a real shift of interest.
Coöperation with the University of Southern California was the important innovation of the year. This had presented itself as the best solution, for the time being, of the problem involved
In November, 1917, an informal meeting of administrative officers of summer schools was held at the University of Michigan. Invitations had been sent to all universities offering graduate courses in the summer school. Matters of common interest were discussed, a questionnaire was drawn up and sent out, and statistics collected. From these latter it appears that the University of California is the only state institution whose Summer Session income is not less than its budget. Some of the figures are interesting: Indiana University, with 959 students, incurs a deficit of $18,500; Illinois, 833 students, $23,000; Kansas, 738 students, $20,000; Michigan, 1453 students, $35,000; Montana, 280 students, $9500; Pennsylvania, 853 students, $10,000; Washington, 1213 students, $21,500; Wisconsin, 2334 students, $19,500.
In my last report, attention was called to the inadequacy of our summer session salaries. In view of the increased cost of living and of travel, and of the decrease in the general purchasing power of money, salaries are no longer a proper return for the services rendered. They work an injustice upon members
Wilmerding School
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I submit herewith my annual report as Director of the Wilmerding School for the year 1917-18.
Twelve months of war have exposed to a searching scrutiny everything of consequence in the American commonwealth, schools included. This being a war of science and mechanical skill, the technical and industrial schools have been looked to for a favorable accounting of the important stewardship with which they have been entrusted during recent years. Undoubtedly the war will bring about some extensive readjustments of the American school system, and fortunately it happens that the Smith-Hughes Bill, with its generous appropriations for the promotion of industrial, household and agricultural education, and the training of teachers along those lines, is being put into operation at this particular time. The far-reaching experiments that will be carried on under this fund will be both timely and valuable, and the results will go far towards defining the place of the industries in education, and unifying our school system in general.
Any changes that may come are likely to be of considerable concern to the Wilmerding School. In previous reports I have emphasized the idea that the Wilmerding School, being an endowed institution with an income sufficient to make it independent of its clientage, should be kept on the frontier of industrial education. The Smith-Hughes Bill is intended to serve a similar purpose, with a nation-wide scope but only for a limited period
The Lick-Wilmerding enrollment for 1917-18 has been 451 boys, and the enrollment of girls in the Lux School, with which the Lick and Wilmerding schools are associated, has been 238. Our senior class has been reduced somewhat by the war, but the lower classes have not been disturbed to any appreciable extent.
Women--Dean of Women
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the work of the women of the University for the year 1917-18.
The average number of undergraduate women attending the University during the year was 2448. Although the rate of increase in the number of women entering the University, for the first time, fell below that of former years, the total enrollment of undergraduate women reached its maximum.
The realization that now of all times, trained women are needed and that colleges and universities are the places where they should be trained, together with the growing demand for women's services, has furnished the inspiration for the year.
It is not easy to feel the joy of sacrifice and service in pursuing the humdrum routine of education while men are called out to practice new arts, to manage machines more powerful and complex than the world has ever seen and to give their lives for their country. But the women of the University have been faithful to the task imposed upon them. Their usual work has taken on new value. Hygiene and physical education grow in importance with the obligation to maintain a high standard of health. Student government becomes a practical experiment in reconciling liberty and loyalty, and intellectual curiosity, stimulated by the war, provides a clear purpose for the study of the humanities. While some indifferent individuals have escaped this quickening influence the majority have eagerly responded.
There have been from time to time restlessness and complaint that the road was long and tedious. One hundred and twenty-three
As advisors, the staff of this office have endeavored to direct students into lines of study whch would best fit them to meet the future demand for trained women. To students who could not undertake the longer professional curricula and who were seeking other avenues than teaching, it was possible to offer varied opportunities for training in public health, dietetics, household management, social work, statistics, scientific work, business and secretarial work, agriculture, etc.
An important addition to the opportunities for training women is the curriculum for nurses, introduced this year. This curriculum provides for three years of study in the academic departments of the University, followed by two years in the University Hospital Training School. On the completion of the five-year course, the student will receive the bachelor's degree and the recommendation for the state examination for a certificate as registered nurse.
To keep the need for trained women before the undergraduates, the women of the senior class asked that a series of lectures be arranged on vocations for women other than teaching. Beginning early in the spring term and occurring twice a week, 12 lectures were given by men and women distinguished in different fields. The topics included public health, law, social work, statistics, scientific work, architecture, agriculture, business, office administration and mercantile pursuits. New aspects of women's work created by the war were emphasized throughout. A conference with the speaker followed each lecture.
While the education of the undergraduate must go steadily on, the progress of the war is developing the need for short intensive training for women in the special application of their previous education and experience. Women who have been
Although the average undergraduate student has responded well to her refocused college work, she has also felt the need of sharing in specific war work. The Department of Hygiene lent its aid by giving courses in First Aid and Home Care of the Sick. The purpose of this instruction is to give women skill and confidence in handling the emergencies of minor illness and accident. In this way trained nurses in every community may be freed for the critical needs of war time. One hundred senior women registered for the work.
At the suggestion of the Federal Food Administration, the Department of Home Economics also offered courses in specific war-work. The purpose of these courses was (1) to inform all
Besides enrolling in these regularly organized classes, the women have entered into the local campaign for food conservation. The coöperation of all fraternity, club and student boarding houses has been secured. From time to time, Dr. Morgan of the Department of Home Economics has conferred with student managers and heads of boarding houses to advise and help them in the preparation of food conservation menus.
During the year, 1500 women have rendered some service great or small through the University of California Auxiliary of the Berkeley Chapter of the American Red Cross. The Auxiliary was organized by the Associated Women Students. In the work rooms in Hearst Hall, knitted garments, hospital garments, childrens' clothing and surgical dressings were made by the students under the supervision of faculty women who have given generously of their time.
The women also shared the work of the National Service Committee of the University in raising funds for War Relief Activities and in conducting liberty loan and thrift stamp campaigns.
In the absence of the majority of the junior and senior men, the responsibility for college activities has fallen chiefly upon the women. Their loyalty to college traditions and their responsiveness to the spirit of the times has been thoroughly tested. They gave a pledge of their good faith early in the year, by voting to suspend the elaborate production of the Partheneia and to substitute a simple expression of loyalty to the ideals out of which the festival sprang. Entertainments given by the Associated Women Students throughout the year represented a minimum of expense and a maximum of ingenuity. That these standards were approved by both men and women was cleverly exemplified in the senior Extravaganza.
No just estimate can be made of the effort of the women of the University to do their part in war time without considering

Zoology--California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology A list of gifts presented to the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology will be found on pp. 202-205.
BERKELEY, July 1, 1918.
To the President of the University,
SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the work of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology for the year 1917-18.
Good progress has marked the course of the year's work of the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. The necessary routine, the nature of which has been explained in preceding reports, has been handled with diligent attention to detail. At the same time the degree of this attention to detail has not been so extreme as to prevent active participation in matters of general import. In other words, it is believed that a fair balance has been maintained whereby the investment in our plant has been realized upon to the advantage of all.
The founder of the Museum, Miss Annie M. Alexander, has continued her support in full measure, and this in combination with the good counsel rendered by her in several matters of general policy, has constituted an essential basis for carrying out our programme of work.
The special needs of the times have somewhat modified the nature of our research. Economic problems are claiming most of our immediate attention, rather than exclusively scientific ones. Thus our field-work the past spring has had for its principal object the acquisition of information relative to those rodents of California which affect crops and native forage.
It would seem that as full knowledge as possible of the life-histories
Attention has been concentrated so far upon the common pocket gopher and the California ground squirrel; as a partial result there have appeared two pamphlets written by Mr. Dixon of our staff and published under the auspices of the Agricultural Experiment Station, their titles being “ “Control of the Pocket Gopher in California” ,” and “ “Control of the California Ground Squirrel” .” These papers were given wide circulation throughout the state, and many have testified as to the practical nature of the recommendations made in them. Preparation of further bulletins is under way, one of which, “The Natural History of the Ground Squirrels of California,” under the co-authorship of Dr. Grinnell and Mr. Dixon, was undertaken at the special request of the State Commission of Horticulture and will appear in its series of publications.
Mr. Swarth has continued his systematic studies of western groups of birds. There have been published under his authorship this year reports upon the brown towhees (genus Pipilo), jays (genera Perisoreus and Aphelocoma), and marsh wrens (genus Telmatodytes). He has now under way a critical revision of the report on the fox sparrows (genus Passerella), as occurring throughout North America.
Dr. Bryant has continued his activities along educational lines. Two University extension courses in bird study were organized in San Francisco and in Berkeley. One of these was so largely attended that it had to be conducted in two sections. In association with Dr. Grinnell, Dr. Bryant gave the usual course (Zool. 113) in general vertebrate zoology, during the regular spring semester of the University, and a course on the birds of California during the Summer Session. Numerous lectures, under the auspices of the State Fish and Game Commission, on
Field work during the fall months involved the conclusion of the explorations in the Inyo and Death Valley regions. Although the possibilities of those parts of the state from the standpoint of faunal study remain far from exhausted, it has seemed best to defer further attention to them until the termination of the war. The past spring a field itinerary was decided upon leading through the cultivated sections of the San Joaquin Valley, where rodent investigation was the main object in view.
There has been a total of 152 accessions of scientific material during the past year. These involved 4388 separate specimens, catalogued and installed. The largest accession from any one source was Number 1265, the output of the Museum expedition working in the Inyo and Death Valley regions of extreme eastern California. This consisted of 3281 specimens.
The entire number of catalogued specimens now contained in the Museum is 65,468, distributed among the four departments as follows: mammals, 27,937; birds, 29,093; reptiles and amphibians, 6710; sets of birds' eggs, 1728.
Loans involving 1845 specimens were made to 22 different institutions and individuals. Investigators in ornithology and mammalogy in Washington City alone made use of 1088 of our mammals and birds. In return, the work of our own staff in its special studies involved the borrowing of some 250 specimens; so that the adoption of the principle of free loaning of scientific material has brought reciprocal value to us here.
Our staff has been enlarged by the addition of Miss Lula M. Burt as Assistant Curator in Osteology and Mr. Richard M. Hunt as Acting Assistant Curator of Birds. Mr. Hunt assumes for the time being the duties of Mr. Tracy I. Storer who is absent on war service. The title of Mr. Dixon has become that of Economic Mammalogist, which more exactly indicates the nature of his special work.

THIS AGREEMENT, made this _____ day of _____ , 1917 by and between The Regents of the University of California, a corporation, the party of the first part, Mary Ellen Von Schroeder and John H. Von Schroeder, the parties of the second part, California Pacific Title Insurance Company, a corporation, party of the third part, A. W. Foster, party of the fourth part, and Von Schroeder Investment Company, a corporation, party of the fifth part, WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS the parties of the second part heretofore mortgaged to the party of the first part certain real property in the County of Marin, State of California, commonly known as the Hotel Rafael property, together with certain personal property thereon, and, subsequent to the execution and recordation of said mortgage, mortgaged said property to the party of the third part, and subsequent to the execution and recordation of said last mentioned mortgage executed two mortgages of said property to the party of the fourth part, and subsequent to the execution and recordation of said last mentioned two mortgages conveyed said property to the party of the fifth part, which is now the owner thereof, subject to the aforesaid mortgages; and
WHEREAS the party of the first part has brought suit to foreclose said first mentioned mortgage, and the mortgaged property is, and for a long time past has been, unoccupied and unused and the parties of the second and fifth parts are unable to provide the funds required for the proper protection and preservation of the property, and the party of the first part has advised the other parties that it would apply, in said foreclosure suit, for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the mortgaged property, for the purpose of protecting and preserving the same,
NOW, THEREFORE, for the purpose of avoiding the appointment of such receiver, with the expense and other incidents of such appointment, it is agreed that the party of the first part shall be immediately let into possession of the mortgaged premises, with all the rights of a mortgagee in possession, and shall be authorized to employ a care-taker or care-takers for the protection and preservation of said property and to expend such sums as it may deem necessary for such purposes and for making any
― 271 ―improvements necessary in the judgment of the party of the first part to make the mortgaged property more salable; that any sums so expended shall constitute an indebtedness repayable by the parties of the second and fifth parts, with interest at six per cent per annum from the respective dates of expenditure, and shall be secured by the lien of said mortgage of the party of the first part and included in the judgment of foreclosure thereof if such judgment be rendered; that inasmuch as the mortgaged property is not yielding any rents, profits or income whatever, and it is not contemplated that it will yield any prior to said judgment, the party of the first part shall not be responsible for any failure to obtain rents, profits or income from the mortgaged property, provided, however, that in case any such rents, profits or income are obtained the same shall be accounted for by the party of the first part and applied to the diminution of any expenditures by the party of the first part made hereunder, and, if there be any surplus, to the diminution of the mortgage indebtedness due the party of the first part.
IT IS FURTHER AGREED that the parties of the second, third, fourth and fifth parts will, by their attorneys in said foreclosure action, sign such stipulations therein as may be requested by the party of the first part reasonably designed for the more effective and easy carrying out of this agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties of the first, third and fifth parts have hereunto, by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, signed their corporate names and affixed their corporate seals, and the parties of the second and fourth parts have hereunto signed their respective names, all in quintuplicate, the day and year first above written.

June 1, 1917.
PRESIDENT BENJAMIN IDE WHEELER, University of California, Berkeley, California.
Dear President Wheeler:
I am directed by the Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation to communicate to all associated colleges and universities the following information:
At a meeting held on May 18, the Trustees considered the report on the plan of insurance and annuities, prepared by a joint commission appointed in November, 1916. A copy of this report is enclosed. The Trustees of the Foundation took the following action:
- The Trustees accept the fundamental principles of a pension system as defined in the report of this commission--that is to say, a pension system for college teachers should include the principle of the contributory pension, of coöperation between the teacher and his college, and of the creation of a reserve for each pension.
- As a means of carrying out this plan the Trustees approve the combination of insurance and annuity benefits as proposed by the Commission, and accept the proposed Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association as outlined in this report as a practical and effective method of providing insurance and pension benefits for college teachers. The organization of this agency is completely explained in the report of the President of the Foundation now about to be distributed.
- The Trustees of the Foundation have asked the Carnegie Corporation of New York to coöperate with the Foundation in carrying out the recommendations of this commission by enabling the Foundation to fulfill the reasonable expectations of teachers in the associated colleges and universities prior to November 17, 1915; by enabling the Foundation to afford some assistance during the transition period of the next twenty years toward the retiring allowances of old teachers in institutions which are not now, but may later be, associated with the Foundation; and by supplying the capital necessary to establish the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association.
- The Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation therefore notify all associated colleges and universities of this action and inform them that the privileges of teachers in the associated colleges under the present rules will not extend to those entering these institutions after the date mentioned.
- Full information will be given in due time both as to the coöperation of the Carnegie Corporation and as to the conditions and benefits of the contributory system to be inaugurated. It is expected that the Insurance and Annuity Association will be incorporated and organized before the end of 1917.
This communication is sent by direction of the Trustees of the Foundation. It is requested that the report of the Commission be considered as a confidential paper until June 11th.
I am, very sincerely yours, HENRY S. PRITCHETT, President.
Death of Professor Loughridge
On August 14, 1917, President Wheeler reported the death in Waco, Texas, on July 1, 1917, of Robert Hills Loughridge, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural Chemistry.

THIS INDENTURE, made this 7th day of September, 1917, between T. B. Robertson, the party of the first part, and The Regents of the University of California, a corporation, the party of the second part, WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS the party of the first part is the discoverer of a medical preparation named Tethelin, covered by United States and British patents, and is the owner of such preparation and of such patents and of the trade-name “Tethelin.”
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
I
The party of the first part hereby conveys and grants to the party of the second part the said preparation, patents and trade-name, and all his rights as the discoverer of said preparation and the owner thereof and of said patents and trade-name, upon the following trust, to wit:
- To utilize the rights hereby granted in such manner as in the judgment of the party of the second part will best produce a monetary return therefrom and at the same time render the use of such preparation most generally available for the benefit of the human race. The party of the second part shall have the right to sell or dispose in any other manner of said rights or any of them, in whole or in part, or to grant subsidiary rights and privileges thereunder, either upon royalties or otherwise. The party of the second part agrees that it will use all reasonable diligence to utilize said rights as aforesaid, but it is particularly agreed, and the party of the second part accepts said trust only upon the condition, that it shall be the sole judge as to what is reasonable diligence in the respect mentioned, and that it shall not be pecuniarily or legally responsible for any want of diligence in such respect unless the same be in bad faith or the equivalent of bad faith, and that in view of the fact that the party of the second part is a public eleemosynary corporation all of whose other funds are held upon other trusts, the party of the second part shall not be pecuniarily or legally liable under any circumstances whatsoever except to the extent of such rights or the proceeds, profits or returns thereof at the time of recovery against it in the hands of the party of the second part.
- To apply any proceeds, profits or returns from the utilization of said rights, after paying the expenses of the party of the
second part in connection with the trust, to the reimbursement of the party of the first part in the sum of one thousand dollars
($1000) for expenses incurred by him in making such discovery of such preparation, and, in case of his disability, to the
payment to him thereafter for his life of the sum of five thousand dollars ($5000) annually, and in case of his death to the
― 276 ―payment of a like amount to his wife for her life, and in case of the death of both himself and his wife leaving a minor child or children, to the payment of a like amount to such child or children until such child or the youngest of such children shall have reached majority; provided, however, that such annuities shall each year be payable only out of such proceeds, profits or returns as may come in during that year and any balance on hand at the beginning of the year unexpended and unappropriated for the purposes mentioned in the following subdivision (subdivision c); - To apply any unexpended balance of such proceeds, profits or returns to research work in Medicine and preferably in the Physiology, Chemistry and Pathology of Growth either under the auspices of the University of California or otherwise, it being the wish of the party of the first part, but not a condition, that in case such proceeds, profits or returns amount to a sum sufficient to justify it, such research work be conducted in part in Australia, either under the auspices of some institution of learning there or otherwise. The party of the second part shall direct such research work in consultation with the men hereafter named, or their successors, as the first members of the Board of Directors of the Institute of Medical Research whose creation is hereinafter provided for.

Provided, however, that in case at any time such proceeds, profits or returns are sufficient in the judgment of the party of the second part to justify it, it shall create an Institute of Medical Research which shall, under the immediate direction of a board of directors of five members subject to the supervisory control of the party of the second part, carry on and direct the work of research mentioned. Such Institute, if created, shall also be authorized to conduct other kindred lines of research with funds received or appropriated by the party of the second part for that purpose from other sources, and particularly from the utilization of other discoveries transferred by the discoverers to the party of the second part, provided that in case of conveyance to or acquisition by the party of the second part of other discoveries, or patents or rights, from which, and from the discovery, patents and rights hereby conveyed, come proceeds which are joint to both, the party of the second part shall be the sole judge as to the relative proportion of such joint proceeds which are attributable to each of the joint sources thereof. Such Board of Directors shall in the first instance be composed of F. P. Gay, H. M. Evans, G. H. Whipple, C. D. A. Schmidt, and the party of the first part. Any vacancy in said board shall be filled on the nomination of the remaining members, approved by the party of the second part. The directors shall be persons themselves engaged directly and primarily in research work either of the character mentioned or of some kindred character, and upon their ceasing to be so engaged they shall be under obligation to resign as such directors, and if they do not resign their positions shall be declared vacant by the party of the second part and upon such declaration shall be vacant. The position of any director shall become vacant upon his attaining the age of sixty (60) years unless the party of the second part shall, for strong reason existing in the particular case, extend his term of office.
II
The party of the second part accepts the foregoing grant and conveyance upon the trust above set out.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the party of the first part has hereunto signed his name and the party of the second part has by its officers thereunto duly authorized hereunto signed its corporate name and affixed its corporate seal all on the day and year first above written.

Mecca Land Company Deed
At a meeting of the Regents on October 9 it was reported to the Regents that by a deed of trust made May 13, 1904, between the Mecca Land Company, the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture the north fifteen (15) acres of the east one-half of the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section sixteen (16), township seven (7) south, range nine (9) east, S. B. M., were conveyed to the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of California, and his successors in office, to be used as a garden for the testing of desert fruits and to revert to the Mecca Land Company should it cease to be occupied or used as an agricultural experiment station.
It has conducted a School of Navigation in conjunction with the United States Shipping Board. Twenty-two men were graduated from the first course; forty-five are now enrolled.
A school for chief storekeepers in the Ordnance Department has been opened. Thirty were qualified at the six-weeks' session just closed. There are now forty-five enrolled in a second course.
A unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps is being maintained, with 1218 University Cadets enrolled; 47 are serving as officers.
A special seven weeks' Summer Course in Military Training was given under Colonel J. T. Nance. Over 200 were enrolled.
A course in Naval Engineering has been formulated and will be introduced next term for the purpose of training men to qualify as Ensigns in the Navy. In contemplation are also courses in Naval Architecture and Military Engineering.
Special war work for women has been offered in the regular and summer sessions, and in the inter-session from June 18 to August 4. An Institute for Home Service was held in conjunction with the Red Cross from November 12 to December 15, 1917.
A Military Information Office has been maintained since the beginning of the war. It has advised thousands of men, and has already placed hundreds of University men in branches where their special equipment will enable them best to serve the nation.
The Department of Agriculture, in coöperation with the Food Commissioner and the Committee on Resources and Food Supply, has donated the greater part of its energies toward the solution of food problems involved in the war.
Many departments, particularly the Department of Chemistry, have engaged extensively in research on behalf of the national government, to meet war needs. All of the engineering colleges have been active in this sort of work and have freely lent their equipment and the services of their experts to this work. Many members of our faculty occupy important positions on scientific committees of the State and National Councils of Defense. Many of the research problems being dealt with by departments of the University at the request of the War Department are of a confidential nature and the results have not yet been entirely reached. Prominent among the departments that are carrying on such work are: Agriculture, Astronomy, Botany, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Geology, Medicine, Psychology, and Zoology.
The University has expended or administered for war purposes from April 6 to October 31, 1917, a total of $160,940.78, of which $29,616.41 was from University funds, $3,256.20 from fees from students, $62,730.20 from State funds, while it also administered $65,335.97 of federal funds for the conduct of the School of Military Aeronautics. These figures do not include the value of University equipment and buildings being used for carrying on this work, nor with the exception of the figures for agriculture ($100,000 estimated total), do they include a statement of the value of the services of the regular teaching and administrative staff of the University who are devoting a considerable part of their time to work in connection with the war. An account of the expenditure of this money giving the segregation of funds will accompany the more detailed report furnished the Regents.
The Medical School has given many of its men to the Medical Corps; it has conducted many tests and physical examinations; it has dealt with research problems; it has been accorded the privilege of enlisting second, third, and fourth year students in the Medical Enlisted Reserve with orders to continue their studies. Notable among the achievements in medicine in the past year is the discovery of tethelin by Professor T. Brailsford Robertson. Experimentation in Europe already shows that the power of this substance to promote growth of tissue will prove of immense value in the work of treating wounds.
The Medical School has furnished the equipment and many of the members of Hospital Unit 30, under Dr. Kilgore. Of the twenty-five physicians, twenty-three are from our Medical School; thirteen of them graduates. There are also ten enlisted men among our medical students. Eight of the sixty-five nurses are from the University Hospital. The University Hospital is training for hospital stewards of base hospitals in units of fifty men each. The Dispensary has, since July 1, conducted 2200 examinations for government service. In addition, many other examinations have been conducted for the State Board of Health, in connection with the selective draft.
The Dental School has aided the War Department in many ways, notably by supplying trained men for the work of the Dental Corps and by offering under its clinics to perform free dental services for all men who, because of defects of teeth, might be rejected under the draft.
Altogether, every branch and department of the University has eagerly responded to the call to service in the common cause. More of our men are going every day, and those who remain are fitting themselves better to serve the nation. The women, too, are doing their part. Our mobilization has really just begun; but the University knows its responsibility and its power. We have offered ourselves. The nation has called upon us. We must and shall adequately respond.

Your Committee on Gas Engineering Degree respectfully recommends:
That in view of the large unexpended balance, now in the possession of the University of California, for which there seems at the present time no immediate use, that the University be requested on behalf of this Association to invest such moneys as it now has in hand and such additional sums as it may receive for the increment of the Gas Engineering Degree Fund, from any source, and to use the interest derived from such investment, for any purpose associated with the intent of the subscription by which the fund was raised, as may be mutually agreed upon between the Committee of this Association in charge of the fund, and the authorities of the University.
It is also recommended that this Association receive the right, through the Committee on Gas Engineering Degree, to direct the principal of the fund and such accrued interest as at the time may be unexpended, to be used for any purpose that its judgment may direct.
That a certified copy of this report when and as adopted be furnished to the President of the University of California, and that when an acknowledgment is received by the Secretary of this Association, indicating a compliance by the University with the suggestions herein, that this report be considered as finally adopted.
I hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of the recommendations of the Committee on Gas Engineering Degree adopted at the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention of the Pacific Coast Gas Association.
(Signed) Henry Bostwick, Secretary, Pacific Coast Gas Association.

Class of 1917 Fund
On November 13, 1917, the Regents accepted the Class of 1917 Fund in accordance with the following letter:
October 3, 1917.
The Board of Regents, University of California, Berkeley, California.
Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to hand you herewith a check for $2000 which is to be a nucleus of an endowment fund of the Class of 1917.
This fund is placed with you for investment at whatever rate of interest your board decides upon and will be added to from time to time from various sources. The principal of the fund is to be kept intact until 1935 and is then to be paid back to the permanent class treasurer. The interest on the fund is to be paid semi-annually to the Permanent Organization Fund of the Class, which will be kept by the Alumni Secretary of the University of California.
If at any time necessity demands, a majority of the Executive Board of the Class of 1917, consisting of S. S. Barrows, F. W. Stewart, and F. S. Moulton, may call upon the Regents to return to the Permanent Organization Fund any or all of the principal, which at that time is in their hands, provided the money is to be used for some University purpose, which, in the judgment of the Regents, is a worthy one.
The present plans of the class call for a reunion in 1935, at which time the principal sum in the hands of the Regents will be added to by popular subscription and the total amount used to erect some fitting and permanent memorial to the Class of 1917.
Yours respectfully, THE CLASS of 1917, Ferris S. Moulton, Treasurer.

Carnegie Ruling re War Service
On December 11 the Finance Committee reported to the Regents that the Executive Committee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching took the following action in March, 1917:
Voted: That professors, associate professors, instructors, or other officers of accepted institutions eligible to benefits of the Carnegie Foundation, who may enlist in the land or naval forces of the state or nation, or who engage in industrial or other enterprises or activities recognized by the Foundation as contributory to the success or efficiency of such forces, shall have their pension rights kept alive during the continuance of the present war.
In response to the question whether “in case of disability or death coming during time of service to the government, a faculty man who had already served long enough to be entitled to a Carnegie disability allowance were he in active service at the time, would be entitled to the benefits of the Carnegie retiring allowance?” President Pritchett has written a letter of November 12 to the University saying:
The resolution of the trustees of the Carnegie Foundation leaves a man absent upon military or naval service of the United States in exactly the same relation to the Foundation as if he were occupying his professorship. This continues during the war.
Name for Sutter Street Building
On December 11, 1917, it was voted to name the new building being erected on Sutter street the “Hallidie Building,” in memory of the devoted service to the University of Andrew S. Hallidie, a Regent of the University from 1878 to 1900, and to provide a tablet for the building recording Regent Hallidie's services to the University.
University's Part in the War
On December 11, 1917, President Wheeler presented the following report to the Regents:
On February 13, 1917, I recommended to this body that in view of the increasing probability of the United States entering the war against Germany and her allies, we should formally offer to the federal government the use of the entire resources of the University of California in meeting whatever need should arise in prosecuting the war. This recommendation was approved, and in accordance therewith since April 6, 1917, the University has in every possible way devoted itself to the task of aiding the federal government to win the war. I have the honor to report to you some of the things that have been done by the University in the way of war service during the past six months. I cannot here and now tell in detail of the war work that is being conducted all throughout the University. A more complete record of this work I am having mailed to each member of the Board of Regents. Permit me therefore merely to summarize.
Since April, 1917, the University of California has sent out 2000 men, including students, alumni, former students, and some of its ablest instructors, to serve in the military and naval forces of the nation. Before war was declared, two ambulance units had already been sent to France. Since April, 1917, 450 men have been recommended. Most of them have been placed.

Resignation of Comptroller Merritt Declined
On April 9, 1918, the following letter from Comptroller Ralph P. Merritt, offering his resignation as Comptroller was presented to the Board:
April 9, 1918. President and Regents of the University of California.
Gentlemen: On May 1, 1917, you generously granted to me a leave of absence of ninety days from my position as Comptroller of the University of California.
Of this time, two months were devoted, at the request of the Governor of the State, to the work of draft registration, under the direction of the War Department. On July 1, 1917, you granted me a further leave of absence at the suggestion of the Governor and at the request of Mr. Hoover, United States Food Administrator, in order that I might become an appointee of the President in the work of the Food Administration in the capacity of Federal Food Commissioner for California.
At the end of the present month, I shall have been absent from my duties as Comptroller of the University of California for one year, and during that time I have, through your generosity, been paid my full salary.
Since leaving active connection with the University, I have served the Federal Government both under the War Department and under the Food Administration without salary.
Since accepting the original appointment on July 1, the responsibilities placed upon this office have expanded and, at the present time, we are engaged not only in the original duties placed upon the State Food Administrator, but our organization has taken over the coordination of the purchase of foodstuffs in California for the allies and the army and navy and, in addition to this, we have within the last two weeks set up a new organization for the control of the purchasing, milling and distribution of all breadstuffs for the States of California, Arizona, and Nevada, and Mr. Hoover has appointed me to serve as chairman of this Zone Committee.
These facts are stated in order that you may understand that the duties of the present office are expanding and there seems to be no likelihood in the present crisis of any change.
In view of these circumstances and in all fairness to the University of California, to which I am so deeply indebted, I beg to respectfully offer my resignation as Comptroller of the University of California, to take effect May 1, 1918.
I have no intention at the present time of accepting any other work than the responsibilities placed upon me by the Federal Government, but I fear that there may be some criticism against the University for a continuance of its generosity toward me, and I also would suggest that there is at all times a likelihood of public reaction against this office or against the official position which I hold which might make any connection with the University a burden to that institution.
May I express my deepest gratitude for the innumerable kindnesses which have been constantly shown me by all of those whom it has been my honor and privilege to serve.
Very respectfully, (Signed) Ralph P. Merritt.
The Board adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That Mr. Merritt's tender of his resignation be declined; that the Regents appreciate the motives which led to its tender, and that they are glad to have been able to be of assistance to the national interests at this time by lending to the national government the efficient services of their Comptroller, and they desire both that such services be continued and that they be continued as a contribution by the University of California, and that it is the sense of the Regents that the leave of absence granted Mr. Merritt in order that he may attend to his government duties be continued indefinitely.
No German Taught in Los Angeles Summer Session

- That the following resolution be adopted:
WHEREAS, the Board of Regents have found it necessary to dismiss members of the faculty for want of fidelity to the country,
NOW, THEREFORE, the President is hereby advised that it is the sense of the Board that immediately it comes to his notice that any member of the faculty is disloyal, he should be forthwith dismissed, anything in the budget to the contrary notwithstanding.

| Most sincerely, | |

Comptroller's Report
1917-18
Report of the Comptroller
February 21, 1919.
The President and Regents of the University of California.
GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to submit herewith a financial report of the University of California for the year ending June 30, 1918, which has been approved by your auditors.
This report is made up of a balance sheet showing assets and liabilities and a statement of income and expenditures each supported by schedules giving detailed information. It is hoped that these schedules are practically self-explanatory but for comparative purposes and to bring out certain important points, the following statement is submitted:
Assets and Liabilities
The balance sheet shows assets to the value of $20,725,193.94. The largest item is real estate and improvements. Items “A,” “B,” “C,” and “M,” of the balance sheet are shown in further detail in the schedules following. The remaining items were not considered of sufficient general interest to warrant printing the schedules which support them.
The notes receivable of the University amount to $554,054.47 and represent mortgage loans except for about $5000 loaned to students from various student-loan funds.
There is an increase in the real estate held as “investments” of $394,215.81, over the amount shown in the report for the year ending June 30, 1917. This is chiefly due to expenditures on the completion of the Hallidie Building in San Francisco, a splendid office and store building which is now providing income for the University. There are compensating reductions in the amount of stocks and bonds, although Liberty Bonds to the extent of $50,000 were purchased during the year.
On the liability side of the balance sheet the University has
The principal item of these is the surplus invested in “fixed assets,” $14,321,287.92. This amount represents the book value of the lands, buildings, and equipment of the University. The amount of cash held by the University in trust for endowments, loan funds, and donation accounts, is shown in separate items since these amounts are available only for the purposes for which they were given to the University.
Income and Expenditures
The income of the University of California is received from the following sources: The United States Government, the State of California, gifts, endowments, receipts from sales of material, and for services rendered, and fees of students. This latter item covers only the expenses for laboratory material, supplies, etc., of individual students and does not offset, in any way, the cost of education, research or administration in the University. The income from the sources noted above is as follows: United States Government, $119,433.21, State of California, $2,225,419.33, students' fees, $280,215.47, sales of materials and services rendered, $466,987.69, endowments, $226,316.37, gifts, $240,460.52.
The income from the United States is received from the following funds: The Adams, Hatch, Smith-Lever and Morrill College Aid. The Hatch and Adams funds were created by Acts of Congress dated March 2, 1881, and March 16, 1906, respectively, and each provides $15,000 per year, payable quarterly. The purpose of the Hatch Fund is to provide for the publication of useful and practical information on agriculture; the purpose of the Adams fund is to pay for necessary expenses of original research and experimental work in agriculture. The Smith-Lever Fund was created by an Act of Congress providing that the United States Government and the governments of the various states might contribute, share and share alike, certain sums of money for agricultural college work. The Morrill College Aid Fund was also created by an Act of Congress in August 30, 1890, the money to be used for instruction and facilities in
The receipts from State appropriations represent money received and receivable by the University Treasurer from the State Treasurer on account of appropriations made by the Legislature in 1917. It will be noticed that there is an appropriation under this heading to the Smith-Lever Fund matching the appropriation from the United States Government.
The receipts from student fees and deposits, the purposes of which have been explained previously, were about $12,000 less than for the previous year. This was due, in a large measure, to the withdrawal of students to enter the service of their country.
The receipts from clinics and from departmental sales represent payments for services rendered by University Departments, or income from the sale of products manufactured or produced by the University in the course of its experimental and instructional work. It will be noted that the greater part of such receipts arise from the operations of the College of Agriculture. This should be taken account of when considering the cost of operating this department; for instance, the disbursements by the Dairy Department for the year are shown as $16,636.16, against which there is an offset, in receipts, of $16,603.44.
The income from investments was slightly larger than for the previous year, due primarily to a complete investment of the funds of the University, the interest rate remaining practically the same.
The endowment funds of the University increased to $5,490,430.85 during the year. The most notable additions were the Isaias W. Helman Scholarship Fund and the Herbert Kraft Scholarship Fund of $50,000 each and the Horace Davis Library Fund of $10,000. The net increase for the year was reduced to $34,015.53 due mainly to the fact that the Doe Library Fund, which formerly appeared under endowments, was expended on the completion of the University Library and now appears among the assets of the University. Gifts were received during the year for current use amounting to $75,284.75.
The cost of administration in the University and the operation and maintenance of the grounds and buildings was $480,597.41, an increase of $60,785.25 over the preceding year. This
Additions to buildings and improvements of university property totaling $580,654.05 were made during the current year. Notable among the items included in this total are the following:
| Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, buildings and improvements . . . . . | $16,893.26 |
| University Farm, Davis, buildings . . . . . | 23,091.72 |
| Wilmerding School, new buildings . . . . . | 5,898.08 |
| Lick Observatory, electric light and power plant . . . . . | 2,744.03 |
| Oil-surfacing campus roads . . . . . | 6,769.86 |
| Filter plant in Strawberry Canyon . . . . . | 5,844.43 |
| Steam heating in Campus buildings . . . . . | 7,032.15 |
The foregoing items are exclusive of the large sums which were spent for the completion of Hilgard Hall, Gilman Hall, the University Library and the University Hospital. Equipment was added during the year costing $168,963.56.
Expenditures for Education and Research totaled $2,195,432.83, an increase of $196,936.26 over the previous year. Disbursements for scholarships, prizes and loans amounted to $39,120.89 during the year and were not nearly sufficient to meet the demands of the student body.
The war activities of the University will, no doubt, be discussed more fully in the reports of the President and the various departments, but the records of this department contribute certain evidence by showing that $238,618.22 was expended by the University directly on war activities including the School of Military Aeronautics. This does not include expenditures by departments on war work along their own lines. Some of this sum will be returned to the University from the United States Government and other sources, but the expenditure of it has been entrusted to the University and has, I believe, been characterized by economy and efficiency.
Auditor's Certificate
The Finance Committee of the Board of Regents of the University of California.
DEAR SIRS: The books and accounts of the University of California have been audited for the year ended June 30, 1918, and we certify that the Balance Sheet of June 30, 1918, the statement of Income and Expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1918, and the accompanying schedules are in accordance therewith, and, in our opinion, correctly exhibit the financial condition of the University.
The investment securities have all been examined, and agree with the records.
The income from the Trust Funds has been expended in accordance with the specified conditions of the various trusts.

School of Military Aeronautics
The School of Military Aeronautics at Berkeley is conducted by the University of California for the United States Army under a contract by which the University receives a specified tuition fee for each cadet receiving instruction. The University provides instructors, all necessary buildings for barracks and instructional purposes, and laboratory equipment, except special equipment such as airplanes and engines furnished by the United States Army.
The original contract, made in May, 1917, was for one year; a new contract is under consideration and will be signed shortly.
The Army is represented by the Commandant, who is in direct charge of the cadets and is the head of the school.
The University exercises its control through an executive head known as the President of the Academic Board. This official is directly responsible to the President of the University and to the Commandant of the School. Assisting the President of the Academic Board are a Vice-President, a Board of Examiners, and the following standing committees: Budget, Equipment and Buildings, Publications, and Schedule and Curriculum.
The course of instruction is prescribed by the United States Army. The course of eight weeks was increased in March, 1918, to twelve weeks. The curriculum has been changed from time to time by the authorities in Washington. At present there are six departments: Military Subjects, Signalling, Gunnery, Airplanes, Engines, and

Finances
Shortly after the formation of the school in May, 1917, a Budget Committee was appointed to keep the President of the Academic Board informed on finances.
The principal part of the accounting is done by the Accounting Department of the University. The Budget Committee makes monthly reports showing:
- Receipts and disbursements from the opening of the school to the date of the report.
- Receipts and disbursements for the month of the report.
- An estimate of receipts and expenditures for the coming month, divided according to accounts and departments.
The cost of permanent improvements for the duration of the war, such as barracks and laboratory buildings, is charged off in monthly installments extending over periods ranging from six months to a year. Three laboratory buildings and five barracks have been built since the establishment of the school.
Buildings and Equipment
The University has constructed laboratory buildings for the School of Military Aeronautics on the campus near the Mechanics Building. The first building constructed was 60 x 120 feet and provided sufficient space for laboratories essential in the study of signalling, gunnery, airplanes, engines, and aerial observation. As the size of the school increased the building became inadequate, and it was necessary to make two additions to the original structure. It also has been necessary to construct an engine laboratory on another part of the campus. For lecture purposes, the rooms of the regular University buildings have been placed at the disposal of the School of Military Aeronautics.
At the opening of the school, cadets were quartered in fraternity and boarding houses near the campus. The University at once undertook the construction of barracks, and there is now available one large two-story building just south of the campus and four smaller units on the campus, the last four units being of similar construction. Space for any future increase will be provided by building additional units of the same type as the four smaller barracks.
Department of Military Subjects
Lieutenant R. J. Heffner, Head
The Department of Military Subjects has been in operation since the opening of the school in May, 1917. At that time the work of the department covered four lecture hours per week, given by one instructor, and divided into three topics: Army Regulation, Military Law, and Organization of Modern Foreign Armies.
In July, 1917, the staff of the department was increased to two instructors. A total of sixteen hours per week and a final examination at the completion of the series of
At the close of last year a total of twenty-eight hours of work per week was provided for in the curriculum, including a final examination and lectures on Organization of the Schools of Aeronautics, Military Law, Military Discipline, Esprit de Corps, Military Courtesy and Ideals, Administration and Organization of the United States Army, Regulations of the United States Army, Military Hygiene, Sanitation and First Aid, Army Paper Work, Methods of Modern Warfare, and Morale of the Air Service.
In March, 1918, the number of hours of work per week was virtually doubled, and at present reaches a total of fifty-four hours. The course includes lectures, demonstrations and examinations. The following brief outline of the present instruction may prove of interest:
The subjects of Military Hygiene, First Aid and Sanitation are discussed and demonstrated in a series of seven lectures. Elementary principles of personal hygiene, communicable diseases, camp and barracks sanitation, emergency treatment for the injured, etc., are explained.
Military Discipline receives but one hour in the lecture room, but its principles are practiced throughout the entire course of twelve weeks.
Military Courtesy is discussed in a series of two lectures. Rules for saluting, honors and courtesies to the colors and the national anthem, etc., are explained and emphasized.
The principles of Guard Duty are brought out in two lectures.
The subject of Administration and Organization of the United States Army is taken up in brief synoptical form, three hours being given to such discussion.
The Paper Work of the Army, including military correspondence, blank forms, requisitions, accounts, reports, etc., receives attention, ten hours being devoted to lectures, discussions and practice.
Army Regulations governing both officers and enlisted men are studied.
Military Law and the Articles of War, including the system of military tribunals, courts and commissions, is discussed in a series of lectures covering five hours. At the completion of this series the students themselves hold a mock court-martial for practice in legal work.
Methods of Modern Warfare, including construction of trenches, service in the trenches, methods of attack and defense on European battle fields and organization of modern foreign armies are discussed in a series of four lectures. Seven hours of discussion and drill in the use of gas masks give the student elementary instruction in defense against gas attacks.
One hour is spent in discussing the elementary principles and benefits of infantry drill as practiced by members of the Aviation Service. The proper methods of giving commands as well as general theories of drill movements are explained. This is coordinated with the practical work on the drill field.
In the last lecture the subject of Morale in the Air Service is discussed with an idea of building up pride in the organization, faith in its progress and powers and general satisfaction among its members.
Eleven instructors are connected with the department. Students are furnished with sets of notes mimeographed in skeleton form and are instructed to fill in details from the material presented in the lecture room. In this manner a logically arranged set of notes is assured the student, who is given the opportunity of assimilating the information through the act of writing it himself, rather than reading it from a text. Each week sees changes and improvements in accordance with the policies of the War Department.
The practical work in the Department of Military Subjects, consisting of drill, guard mount, etc., although listed under this department is actually conducted separately, under the direction of Lieutenant Harold B. Reed as the Department of Drill and Discipline.
Department of Signalling
Lieutenant R. B. McPherson, Head
The Department of Radio and Signalling was organized as a part of the school in May, 1917, for the purpose of instructing cadets in radio telegraphy, and the Radio Laboratory of the College of Mechanics was turned over for its use. First practice in signalling was given in one of the fraternity houses, where the cadets were quartered at the beginning of the school.
The name of the department was later changed to the Department of Signalling, although the scope of the course remained practically the same. Practice in sending and receiving the International Morse Code occupies most of the time of the cadets. This work is given on silent code practice apparatus which permits several hundred students to have simultaneous individual practice time without any interference.
The signalling laboratories are located in the “aero” laboratory and the barracks units built by the University, the laboratory in “C” barracks being large enough to accommodate 240 men doing individual work at the same time. Sufficient apparatus is available at the barracks for the cadets to engage in a certain amount of night practice in addition to the regular work required in the daily curriculum.
The course also includes lectures on the theory of wireless telegraphy and several hours are devoted to visual signalling.
As the size of the school has been increased it has been necessary to increase the staff from month to month and it is believed that the efficiency of the department has more than kept pace with its growth.
Department of Gunnery
Lieutenant G. R. McDonald, Head
The Department of Gunnery is intended to fit the cadet for the advanced training which he is given at the flying field. The curriculum followed is based on the experience gained by the Allies, the cadet being taught to use the machine gun effectively as a weapon of offense and defense. Special attention is given to work in the laboratory, as the aerial gunner must possess a fair amount of skill as an armorer. This qualification enables him to keep his gun in action under the most trying conditions, where the inability successfully to reduce a jamb would be fatal.
Laboratory work covers practice in the dissembling and assembling of the various guns as well as the removal and replacement of important parts of the gun mechanism. After the work is understood the adjustment and manipulation of the fully assembled gun is practiced. This is followed in a systematic manner until the cadet, even when blindfolded, is able to perform any operation which the instructor may direct. This is the final proof of a knowledge of the gun mechanism, and insures against the fumbling or maladjustment of parts when working under adverse conditions.
The training in the laboratory is supplemented by firing practice on the range where attention is paid to marksmanship in handling of the gun. Trap shooting is a valuable adjunct to this work, as the prospective aerial gunner thereby develops facility in judging accurately when firing at a swiftly moving target. An interesting feature of the firing practice is the drill in correcting stoppages and
Space for this work is provided in the temporary buildings erected for the School of Military Aeronautics on the campus, and on the range back of the Big “C”. Machine guns and accompanying material of the same pattern as the Allies are using at the front, enable the cadets to gain the experience needed to make them practical gunners.
Trap shooting, although included under Organized Sports, is conducted by the Department of Gunnery.
Airplane Department
Lieutenant H. L. McLean, Head
When the School of Military Aeronautics started in May, 1917, the Airplane Department was housed in one end of the original Aeronautics Laboratory. Two obsolete training machines were used for instruction in alignment and a few lectures were given in Theory of Flight, Slicing, Care and Types of Machines.
The department has gradually grown until it is the exclusive occupant of one building, in addition to a large part of the original building and annex. Eight airplanes are in use for instruction purposes, two being of the very latest type of training machine. A repair laboratory has also been fitted up where cadets are given practical instruction in making wire splices of different kinds and in patching punctured and torn wings.
Lectures are given, forty-eight hours in all, on the Theory of Flight, Repair and Care of Airplanes, Instruments, Meteorology, and Types of Airplanes at present in use.
The faculty of the department at the present time is composed of ten instructors, with three more to report within the next few weeks.
Engines Department
Lieutenant D. J. Conant, Head
The Engines Department began its instruction in June, 1917, the curriculum consisting of a series of lectures with a laboratory course. The lectures covered the use of tools, fundamental principles of airplane engines, the theory and operation of carburetors and magnetos, lubrication and cooling systems. In the laboratory the cadets were divided into groups of eight, each group having an instructor who illustrated the details of construction, operation, and adjustment of two makes of airplane engines.
At first the staff consisted of three members, but with constant changes in the curriculum and the addition of new equipment and engines, more instructors had to be secured. A number of large colored charts and working models of parts of engines were made by members of the staff and were used extensively in the class rooms.
When it became necessary to run the airplane engines, they were mounted on special stands outside of the building. The troubles experienced in engine operation were observed, the cadets studying the causes of the difficulties and learning how to remedy them.
The new curriculum, a twelve weeks' course, gives the Engines Department a broader field of activity. The new course requires work in assembling and disassembling of engines, their testing, and the careful consideration of the care and operation of engine accessories. The increased duties of the department required a larger number of engines and equipment and it became necessary to erect a new building. Nine test stands and eight work rooms for assembling and disassembling, besides a small shop for the mainteanance of the engines and the tool equipment were provided.
The engine equipment totals twenty-four complete engines and the parts of two others. The staff comprises fifteen instructors.
Department of Observation
R. A. Waite, Head
The work in the Department of Aerial Observation, as it was called in May, 1917, consisted of lectures and practice in Map Reading, and lectures on Coöperation of Airplanes with Artillery, Coöperation of Airplanes with Infantry (or Contact Patrol), Reconnaissance, and Aerial Photography. The miniature range, or the artillery observation range, was built for the practical work in this department, principally in connection with the course on Coöperation of Airplanes with Artillery.
Until January, 1918, all instruction in this department was taken directly from present day British methods. After January the modern French system was substituted. In October, 1917, the course in Map Reading was taken from this department to form the basis for a new Department of Aids to Flight. Lectures on Theory of Flight, Cross-country Flying, Meteorology, Night Flying, Astronomy, and Instruments comprised the remainder of the work in this department. In January, 1918, the new miniature range, capable of accommodating seventy-two men, was put into operation and the old range, with a capacity of twenty-six men, was abandoned.
In May, 1918, following a very material change in the work, the name of the department was changed to Observation. The lectures on Coöperation of Airplanes with Artillery and the practice work on the miniature range were increased. The lectures on Coöperation of Airplanes with Infantry and Reconnaissance were eliminated. The lectures on Aerial Photography were reduced to two lantern slide lectures covering the interpretation of aerial photographs. The work in Map Reading was increased slightly and again brought under the Department of Observation. The work that had been given in the Department of Aids to Flight was either eliminated or transferred to other departments.
The activities of the Department of Observation now cover Map Reading, lectures and practice, including the interpretation of aerial photographs; Coöperation of Airplanes with Artillery, and lectures and practical work on the artillery observation range.
The artillery observation range, or miniature range, was adopted in the aviation ground schools to provide some practical means of aerial observation. The general method was taken from the British ground schools, but the manner of working out the details and of giving instruction differs in each of the various ground schools in this country.
The essential feature of the range is a painting of a certain section of country as it would appear from an airplane. The painting is made on canvas, sized to render it translucent, and is taken from a certain section of the artillery map furnished each cadet. The scale is such as to present to the eye of the observer in the gallery sixteen feet above it, the same appearance as the actual country from a height of about eleven thousand feet.
There are two balconies extending around the room, the upper one being the observers' gallery and the lower one the battery commanders' gallery. There are seats for thirty-six men in each gallery, thus making it possible for two instructors to supervise a class of seventy-two men, working in pairs. Communication between two men working together as observer and battery commander is established through imitation wireless sets. The observer may receive messages by head telephone, signal lamp or by miniature ground-strips, the battery commander receiving always by head telephone.
In the floor are set about five hundred small electric lights. Some of these illuminate numerals which represent definite points for the observer to locate and report. Others are points of light representing bursting shells around the thirty-six targets, one for each battery table. The latter, or “bursts,” are controlled by switches on the battery table, which the battery commander can operate
Department of Organized Sports
F. L. Kleeberger, Director
General Statement.--The work of the Department of Organized Sports of the School of Military Aeronautics has been under way during the past four months. From the very beginning a definite plan of organization of athletic activities has guided the work of this department. Due to the curtailment of the time originally allotted for athletic sports, and due to the frequent readjustment of the curriculum of the School of Military Aeronautics, the work so far has been in a state of experimentation from the standpoint of detailed procedure. Throughout the organization and administration of the athletic work the principles originally presented by General Squier have been kept constantly in mind. It has been the aim of the Department of Organized Sports to provide athletic activity which would react on the men of the school in the maintenance of health, in the promotion of recreative values and in the development of physical cleverness. The work is expected to prove of practical value to fighters in meeting the exigencies of their future work. Care has also been exercised to provide types of group competition which might prove conducive to the development of group loyalty, esprit de corps and personal morale.
Organization of Athletics.--Squadrons A to O, inclusive. Boxing drills and wrestling drills. Individual competition, each corporal forming his squad into a ring and pitting his men one against the other in rotation, grading each man upon his individual efficiency. Each squad, through this process, to determine the two boxers
Squadrons E and F. Agility training through individual and team participation in competitive games, relay racing, wall scaling, practice in lifting and carrying injured or helpless persons, hand wrestling, tug-of-war, etc. Efficiency of the individual to be graded by the corporal in consultation with the athletic instructor. Intersquad and intersquadron competition to be arranged for each week.
Squadrons G and H. Track and field training. Groups to be kept in military units (squads, platoons, etc.), during the practice of running, jumping, hurdling, vaulting, grenade throwing, etc. Individual competition within each squad under the direction of the corporal to determine the representative for the intersquadron field and track meet, based upon six events: high jump, broad jump, hand vault, grenade throw, hurdle race, and short dash. (The competition will also include a relay race.) Efficiency grading of each individual by the squad leader in consultation with the athletic instructor.
Squadrons I to M, inclusive. Trap shooting on a range constructed by the University on the hills back of the Big “C.” Each squadron has two two-hour periods at the traps and in addition has one hour scheduled for a “hike” through the hills followed by a plunge in the swimming tank or shower at the gymnasium. Trap shooting, although included under supervised sports, is conducted by the Department of Gunnery.
Department of Military Science and Tactics
The total enrollment in the Department of Military Science and Tactics in August, 1917, was 1265 (47 officers and 1218 non-commissioned officers and privates). As a result of the selective draft and voluntary enlistment, by April 29, 1918, but 38 officers and 810 non-commissioned officers and privates remained.
Under General Order No. 49 of the War Department there was established at the University of California a unit of the Senior Division of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, in charge of Captain L. M. Welch, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Graduates of the Senior Division were eligible to enter officers' training camps. Students, if under twenty-one years of age, were required to attend the summer camps provided by the government.
The prescribed amount of military work has been three hours a week. This will be increased materially under the new Students' Army Training Corps plan of the War Department. A unit of this corps will be established at the University of California.
School of Vocational Training
With approximately 100 men assigned for service, the School of Vocational Training opened at the University of California on July 1, 1918, under the command of Captain A. H. Allen, former Manager of the University Press, assisted by Lieutenant A. W. Mohr. Four University instructors are training the recruits in telegraphy, radio, blacksmithing and electrical machinery. F. S. Foote, Jr., Professor of Railroad Engineering; W. C. Pomeroy, Assistant in Physics, H. A. Scott, and G. W. Cattell, comprise the faculty, while the following former students of the University are included in the new school: W. V. Atkinson, C. S. Capp, B. C. Harris, J. G. Larson, J. S. Moore, Jr., P. Prell, H. F. Rohrbach and J. Wimmer.
Training for the United States Navy and for the Merchant Marine
At San Francisco
Courses contributing to the training of men desiring to qualify as officers in the United States Naval Forces and in the Merchant Marine were inaugurated during the summer of 1917 by the Berkeley Astronomical Department and the Committee on Mathematical and Astronomical Investigations of the Pacific Coast Research Conference of the State Council of Defense. These courses led to an active and effective coöperation of the University with the United States Shipping Board and the United States Navy. A course in Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, principally designed to produce a supply of qualified teachers, was included in the Summer Session of 1917, under F. J. Neubauer, Instructor in Astronomy.
In the meantime these plans, through the National Research Council, were brought to the attention of the United States Shipping Board, Mr. Henry Howard of Boston, Director of the Shipping Board's Recruiting Service and founder of its Navigation Schools, and Dean Alfred E. Burton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Special Expert of the Shipping Board in charge of instruction, who had decided to extend the Shipping Board's chain of Navigation Schools to the Pacific Coast.
Mr. Farnham P. Griffiths, an alumnus of the University and Lecturer in Law in the School of Jurisprudence, was appointed Section Chief of the Recruiting Service in California, to have complete charge of the Shipping Board's Navigation Schools in California. In August, 1917, plans for the coöperation of the Berkeley Astronomical Department and the University Extension Division with the Shipping Board were completed. Suitable quarters had been secured from the State Harbor Commissioners in the Ferry Building for the housing of the Navigation School of the
The following instructors, all present or former members of the University, were appointed by the Shipping Board to serve in various Pacific Coast navigation schools: F. J. Neubauer and Sturla Einarsson, Instructors in the Berkeley Astronomical Department, for San Francisco; H. D. Curtis, Astronomer in the Lick Astronomical Department, for San Diego; W. F. Meyer, in charge of the International Latitude Observatory of the U. S. C. G. S., formerly Instructor in the Berkeley Astronomical Department, for San Pedro; A. R. Williams, Assistant in Mathematics, for Portland, Oregon; and C. D. Shane, Fellow in the Lick Observatory, for Bellingham, Washington. Captain George Harding was appointed to complete the staff of the San Francisco School.
Within three days after these arrangements were perfected instruction commenced at San Francisco, San Diego and San Pedro, and a week later at the more distant places. The original arrangements provided that in return for the University's coöperation, Extension Division students without sea experience should receive free instruction in the Shipping Board's classes, to increase the number of each class to thirty, as it was not expected that enough certified applicants with sea experience would be immediately available. From the start, however, the response of men with and without sea experience was so large that it became necessary to organize separate classes for the Extension Division. The University Extension Division opened free day and night classes in Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, conducted in the Ferry Building, San Francisco, on September 11, 1917. The courses were under the general supervision of A. O. Leuschner, Director of the Students'
These students, who were without sea experience, had enrolled in the expectation that the Shipping Board would accept them for sea training, or in anticipation of being accepted as cadet officers by the merchant marine. When it was found that arrangements could not be made on the part of the Shipping Board for the acceptance of men without sea experience, and when it was realized that but few positions as cadet officers were available, the majority enrolled in the United States Naval Reserve. This led to a reorganization of the work in the University Extension so as to meet, first of all, the needs of men desiring to prepare themselves for the ensign's examination.
Recently the Shipping Board has made provision for the training of men without sea experience by providing school ships under a Sea Service Bureau. The Extension Division classes continue to be open to students desiring to
On Tuesday evening, December 11, forty of the extension students who had enrolled in the Naval Reserve presented a petition for a short course in Naval Regulations, Seamanship and Ordnance, to be completed before reporting for duty on January 1, 1918, at the San Pedro Naval Training Station. At a conference held the following morning with Lieutenant-Commander F. P. Gaddis of the San Francisco Naval Training Station at Yerba Buena Island, arrangements for the desired course with Boatswain Wallace Hanna in charge were completed and instruction began at the Ferry Building the same afternoon.
At the same conference with Lieutenant-Commander Gaddis, arrangements were made for instruction to be given at the University in Naval Regulations by Ensign F. Bense, and in Seamanship and Ordnance by Ensign E. F. Sale. A series of courses in Naval Training was agreed upon and the same afternoon the tentative plan for a curriculum in naval training was submitted to the Executive Committee of the Engineering Council. The plans were approved by the Committee and later by President Benj. Ide Wheeler, who announced them at the University Meeting the following Friday. This marked the beginning of the now well-organized curricula in Naval Training, both in the University at Berkeley and in the University Extension Division at the Ferry Building, San Francisco. Associate Professor of Practical Astronomy R. T. Crawford was placed in charge of the curriculum at Berkeley as Chairman of an Administrative Board. Later Dean T. M. Putnam, Associate Professor of Mathematics, succeeded Professor Crawford, after the latter's entrance into the United States Army as Major in the Signal Corps. An
The Commandant of the Twelfth Naval District, Captain Russell, has sanctioned the voluntary efforts of the University and is giving the University officers in charge of the work at Berkeley and in San Francisco the benefit of his advice. Permission is being granted to men in service to attend the courses, and qualified men have been enrolled in the Naval Reserve with time extensions to take and complete the courses, whenever practicable.
The instruction at the Ferry Building is now organized as an eight weeks' intensive training course, under the supervision of Professor Leuschner. The instruction is given by Ensign F. Bense, United States Navy, in Naval Regulations, Ensign Miller in Seamanship and Ordnance, Captain George Harding and Mr. H. G. Wrecklage in Navigation and Nautical Astronomy. The admission requirements are the same as for the Officers' Material School of the United States Navy, from which selected men are sent to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. The first intensive training course began on January 7, 1918, with seventy-two students, the second on March 15, with sixty-five students, the third on May 20, with one hundred and thirty-four students. The next course began July 22, 1918, with a very large enrollment, two hundred and fifty applications being received. On September 23, the fifth course opened with a large enrollment. Detailed reports on the men enrolled are furnished regularly to the Commandant. University credit is given for all the courses. Students who satisfactorily complete all the courses offered are given certificates signed by the President of the University. The advantages that students gain from the naval training offered by the University are greater eligibility for admission to the Officers' Material School, shortening of their training in theoretical subjects while in service and the opportunity of securing higher rank in the examinations given by the United States Navy for the ensign's commission
At the initiative of Lieutenant-Commander Gaddis and with the sanction of Captain Durrell, Commandant of the San Francisco Naval Training Station at Yerba Buena Island, the University has also been given the opportunity to coöperate in the conduct of an officers' training school for men in the regular Navy at the Ferry Building. This school runs parallel with the intensive training school for the United States Naval Reserve. Two subjects are taught in eight weeks--Naval Regulations, and Navigation and Nautical Astronomy. Men in service in the regular Navy at the San Francisco Naval Training Station are chosen by the Commandant from high school graduates and college men for the Commissioned Officers' School, University of California Extension Division, and for the United States Naval Training Station, San Francisco, California. To the first school commencing January 7, 1918, forty-four men were detailed. Of these, thirty-nine were recommended as qualified and sent east to be entered for competitive examination at Norfolk, Virginia, on March 23. One hundred and eighty-five men entered the competitive examination. Of the University of California men, 75 per cent passed, as against 52 per cent of the men trained elsewhere. Thirty men have graduated from the second school; the third school ended July 15. The men of the first school have made a notable record and have contributed to California's rating by the Bureau of Navigation, which at present is the highest in the country. The University is endeavoring, in so far as it is capable of being of service, to assist the Commandant of the Twelfth Naval District in maintaining this rating. The courses were inspected in April by Rear Admiral Ross, of the Bureau of Navigation, who is in charge of officers' training in the United States Navy, and received his approval. The graduates of the University's three distinct naval training schools who are now in service are writing enthusiastically regarding the
Until June, 1918, Mr. Griffiths was Section Chief for California of the Shipping Board Recruiting Service with direct charge of the navigation and engineering schools of the Board in this state. Between August, 1917, and June, 1918, four navigation schools and one engineering school were organized. The former were located at San Pedro, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, respectively, and showed to June 30, 1918, enrollments as follows:
| San Pedro (This school was closed December 15, 1917) | 35 |
| San Diego | 50 |
| Los Angeles | 122 |
| San Francisco | 200 |
The Engineering School which was opened May 20, 1918, at the University of California by the Shipping Board in conjunction with the University, had approved seventy-three applications for admission up to June 30, 1918. Of the graduates of the various navigation schools one hundred and ninety-one had been duly licensed as officers in the American Merchant Marine up to June 20, 1918, most of them as second mates, and of these the vast majority have gone to sea.
The San Diego Navigation School was originally under the instruction of Dr. Heber D. Curtis, Astronomer at the Lick Observatory. He was succeeded by Mr. Oscar A. Littchen, a graduate of the San Pedro School. The San Pedro School was under the instruction successively of Dr. F. J. Neubauer of the Astronomical Department of the University and of Dr. W. F. Meyer of the International Latitude Observatory at Ukiah. The teachers in the Los Angeles school have been Captain H. C. Frerichs and Dr. Neubauer. The San Francisco School from the beginning has been under the head instructorship of Professor Sturla
Actual sea experience is prerequisite for admission to these engineering and navigation schools of the Shipping Board, with the exception that men with engineering experience may enter the engineering schools without sea experience, on the understanding that they will go to sea as oilers, firemen, or in similar capacity for the requisite time before receiving their licenses as engineering officers from the United States Steamboat Inspection Service. The purpose of the schools is to train men to be deck officers and engineering officers in the American Merchant Marine and thereby supply the pressing call for men to take charge of the great fleet of merchant vessels recently constructed or now in course of construction by the government and private owners.
Courses Preparatory for Service in the Navy
At Berkeley
In January, 1918, ten courses covering the subject matter required in the examination for the commission of ensign and two additional courses recommended as electives were offered in the curriculum of the University. These courses were based on the curriculum of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. This plan covered the following subjects: trigonometry, naval and nautical astronomy, naval history, oceanography and marine meteorology, ordnance and gunnery, seamanship, naval gunnery, naval regulations, physical education and drill, marine engineering, and naval architecture.c/
The ensign examination for a commission in the line requires training in ordnance and gunnery, seamanship, naval gunnery, naval regulations, and navigation and nautical astronomy. For the commission of ensign in engineering, naval regulations, marine engineering, and naval architecture are required. The courses in naval history and oceanography and marine meteorology are recommended as electives. When the course in naval history was instituted in this connection it was the second of its kind given in a university of the United States--the only other course in naval history was in the curriculum of Harvard University.
Enrollment in the principal courses in this field varied during the term from seventy-six to one hundred and eight. Of the total number registered thirty-six were members of the Naval Reserve who had been granted relief from active duty until May 15 for the express purpose of taking these courses. The students who completed the required courses with a satisfactory record were given a certificate to that effect. The number of men who completed the required courses by May was fifty-nine. There are now enrolled thirty-four others who are applicants for the certificate at the end of the Summer Session of 1918 or in December, 1918. The scholarship standing in these courses has been almost uniformly high. It is expected that after practical training on board ship the holders of these certificates will be given an opportunity to take the qualifying examinations for commissions.
The work of instruction in these courses has been carried on by members of the University faculty. Dean T. M. Putnam is now in general charge of this curriculum. Although the University has not received official recognition for this work, much personal encouragement has been received from the Commandant of the Twelfth Naval District and the officers at the training station on Yerba Buena Island. They have allowed two officers, Ensigns Sale and Bense, to conduct three of the courses in the evening.
The work was recently inspected by Rear Admiral Ross of the United States Navy. It is proposed that these courses shall be continued during the year 1918-19.
Courses in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture
The University announced courses in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture on January 15, 1918. When the courses opened twenty-one students enrolled. These courses have continued throughout the half-year. The students admitted were either graduates from, or seniors in technical schools or colleges of recognized standing.
The work in Naval Architecture has been arranged in conformity with directions issued by the United States Civil Service Commission for ship draftsmen. The items included in this course relate to ship design and construction and cover in particular displacement, buoyancy, stability, resistance and propulsion, structural arrangement, specifications, drawing and design. The students enrolled have worked out a design for a steel tug one hundred feet long, and in this work they have gone into sufficient detail to see how a ship design is obtained.
A number of persons interested in the school have donated certain parts of apparatus used on board ship. Shipbuilding companies in the San Francisco Bay district have entertained the members of the class at the shipyards, showing them in detail the methods used in shipbuilding. Members of the class have also been allowed to operate certain machinery of the Key Route Ferry system, thereby demonstrating the actual working of a completed design. The work has been give nunder the direction of Professor David W. Dickie, Lecturer in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture.
Beginning on May 20, 1918, a course in Naval Architecture was given for ten or twelve weeks. This course followed in outline a special short course in Naval Architecture suggested by the United States Civil Service Commission at Washington. This work has been in charge of Mr. Dickie. It is contemplated that the work in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture will be continued at the University during the year 1918-19.
Courses in Radio Communication
During the past year, work in Radio Communication has been given in connection with the School of Military Aeronautics, a review of which has already been made. Mr. G. L. Greves of the Department of Electrical Engineering has also given a number of courses in that department. During the regular Summer Session he gave a six weeks' elementary course in Radio Communication.
A new and more complete course commenced on May 20 and continued for twelve weeks. This course is designed to cover the field in such a manner as to meet the demands of the War Department. A prospectus was received from the office of the Chief Signal Officer of the Army, and a University committee formulated the course in accordance with those suggestions. The war application of the information given in the course is extensive and includes systems of radio transmission, including commercial and military equipment, elementary telegraphy, telephony and circuit work. It also includes code practice to the extent of four hours per week.
The prerequisites for admission to such a course, as outlined by the War Department, include certain preliminary training in electrical engineering. At the present time students of junior standing or above who are enrolled in electrical engineering, students who have had courses in electrical engineering dealing with direct and alternating current machinery and those whose practical training has fitted them to undertake the work are admitted to the course. The last class includes amateur radio operators who have had considerable experience, and who have a good understanding of the theory.
Military Bureau
Even before President Wilson's message of April 2, 1917, the Regents had passed a resolution placing the resources of the University of California at the disposal of the national government in the event of war. As one means of carrying out their action, they established a Military Bureau under the direction of L. J. Richardson, Associate Professor of Latin, and Homer Havermale, Alumni Secretary. Its first business, under date of April 12, 1917, was to ask all men of the University body--faculty, alumni, and undergraduates--to fill out a personnel index card. The request included the following statement:
ORGANIZATION FOR NATIONAL SERVICE
To the Faculties, Alumni and Students of the University of California:
The President and the Regents have placed the University of California in the present crisis at the service of the state and federal governments. Accordingly, the University is taking account of its resources in both information and materials. Moreover, it is putting on record what each member of the University--faculties, administrative staff, alumni, students, and former students--has done, is doing, or in the event of need could do for the general defense.
To assist in this work you are asked to fill out the enclosed card, and to return it at once. The University would like also to include in this census the families of its officers, alumni, and students, and upon request cards will be sent for the registration of these persons. All information set down upon your card will be regarded as confidential. The signing of the card in no wise commits you to enter the government service unless you desire to do so.
The responses numbered 3070, and nearly all of them offered services in one form or another.
The functions of the Military Bureau have undergone many changes and much expansion since the issuance of the original questionnaire. The Bureau as developed has three separate functions: it serves as an information office, a personnel office, and as a liaison office between the University and various military departments and bodies.
An average of 2500 persons per month seek the Military Bureau for information and advice. The variety of questions asked is infinite. Many seek information regarding draft regulations, army and navy regulations, army and navy orders, military procedure and methods. In this connection it may be said that Military Bureau endeavors to answer every reasonable question asked in good faith.
It also coöperates to such extent as is possible with committees and organizations engaged in war work, such as training, publicity, relief or reconstruction activities.
As a personnel office the Military Bureau has occupied a distinctive place in the general military establishment. For a long time the office was connected with the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau, a civilian body operating with the approval of the War Department. The absorbing of the Intercollegiate Bureau by the Adjutant-General's office brought a new standing to the Military Bureau, which is now directly connected with that office in Washington.
From the Adjutant-General's office requisitions for skilled men come to the Military Bureau. These calls come also from various department chiefs who look to universities for their personnel. Typical calls follow:
June 9, 1917, a call for an alumnus in each of the following cities: Los Angeles, Portland, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. The men selected are to be on committees whose functions are: (a) To investigate the ability, reputation and association of any one desired for special work by the national government in order to make sure of fitness and loyalty; (b) to assist in discovering for the national government men in various occupations who could be induced to leave their work in special cases where their ability is particularly desired by the government; (c) to arrange with local firms and organizations to release certain of their trained help when the need by the government is very great indeed and probably could not be satisfied in any other way.
May 9, 1917, a call came to supply for service in France an ambulance unit consisting of a first sergeant, second sergeant, corporal, two orderlies, two clerks, twenty-four drivers, three mechanics, and two cooks. Men were selected and enlisted for these positions and are now in the United States Army Ambulance Service under command
― 41 ―of Lieutenant-Colonel Percy Jones. The University of California unit is headed by Lieutenant John F. Edwards, and is officially designated as Section 86 of Battalion 21, U. S. A. Ambulance Service. The needs of the men are being looked out for at home by the Friends of Section 86, an organization of parents and friends, who are sending to France clothing, reading matter and other things needed by the men.
October 5, 1917, a call to secure three or four assistants in the War Trade Intelligence Division of the Export Administrative Bureau.
A call for women to serve as nurses in France; a similar call for telephone operators.
A request to examine, induct and assign to Edgewood Arsenal. Md., one hundred chemists.
A request to supply men for the Enlisted Specialists' Preparatorv School at Fort Winfield Scott.
The above calls indicate roughly the variety of requests made. Since the organization of the office 380 additional calls have been received, many of them being requests for specialists.
These calls are made known to the public and to the alumni of the University through newspapers, University publications and the Alumni Fortnightly. Applicants are examined and are either inducted, or their credentials are rated by committee men in the faculty and then sent to authorities requesting assistance.
Besides acting as personnel agent at the specific request of the government, there is another function, namely to help men and women secure places in the national service. Persons who have decided to offer their services to the army, navy or other branches of the national government usually find here both information and direction. The office in this phase of its work is somewhat like an employment agency. Its files already contain the names of many persons, other than those mentioned above, who have expressed themselves as willing or anxious to serve the country in the present emergency, each of these candidates having filled out a prescribed questionnaire setting forth his training as well as his professional or business experience.
As liaison office the Military Bureau undertakes to serve as a contact point between the University and military offices and boards. It has served as headquarters for committee organizations to aid the military establishment; also as officers' headquarters for those who have desired to make use of University facilities. It has placed the volunteer services of faculty members at the disposal of military departments. The Bureau is now aiding the Adjutant-General of California in organizing committees to instruct registrants in matters of hygiene and morale; and through the coöperation of the Summer Session the Military Bureau registered and assigned more than 200 volunteer registrars for the September 12 draft. These cases indicate the duties fulfilled by the Military Bureau as a liaison agent.
Finally, the Military Bureau in coöperation with the Alumni Association is keeping war records of all alumni in service. Close touch is maintained with the American University Union in Paris, London and Rome.

Ordnance Training School
The Training School for Ordnance Field Service at Berkeley was begun in October, 1917, at the suggestion of the Ordnance Department in Washington. Its purpose was to select and to give preliminary training to men who ultimately were expected to reach the grades of non-commissioned, and in some cases, of commissioned officers in the Ordnance Service. The enrollment to the date of closing of the school was as follows: Course No. 1, nineteen; Course No. 2, thirty-two; Course No. 3, forty-five; Course No. 4, fifty.
Instruction was given by members of the Department of Economics and of the School of Jurisprudence, assisted by one commissioned and one non-commissioned officer detailed by the War Department for the purpose.
The course of study at Berkeley covered the principles of storeskeeping; calculating methods of accounting, used in connection with Army supplies; military organization; military correspondence; military law; and military courtesy. Special emphasis was laid on visits to industrial establishments in San Francisco and Oakland. One hour a day was devoted to drill.
Students were enlisted or inducted into the military forces of the United States before beginning their work at the University. At the expiration of their period of study at the University, they were assigned to an arsenal for six weeks' further training, and after this were again assigned to depot companies wherever their services were needed. From the depots the most capable ordnance sergeants were usually sent to the Officers' Training School at Camp Mead, Pennsylvania.
The time allotted for each course was six weeks. Dean H. R. Hatfield, Professor Daggett, and Lieutenant Green were in charge of the school. The school was discontinued in May, 1918, and was transferred by the War Department to Fort Hancock, Georgia.
Course in Military Engineering
The Academic Senate has authorized a curriculum in the College of Civil Engineering leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Military Engineering. The formation of the course has been in the hands of the Engineering Council which has conferred with Major-General W. M. Black, Chief of Engineers of the United States Army. The completion of the proposed course would qualify the student to undergo the competitive examination for a commission in the Corps of Engineers in the United States Army, and at the same time would give him training preparatory to the practice of engineering in civil life. The curriculum differs in a number of points from the ordinary course in the College of Civil Engineering. When this is established, a student entering the College of Civil Engineering may elect his course from Railroad, Irrigation, Sanitary, or Military Engineering.
The College of Agriculture
On February 7, 1917, Dean Thomas Forsyth Hunt of the College of Agriculture wrote President Benj. Ide Wheeler of the University, suggesting that in the event of war, faculties and facilities of the University should be placed wholly at the service of the Federal Government, and outlining the activities which the Department of Agriculture might properly undertake, On February 13, 1917, the farm advisors and the assistant farm advisors of the state were informed that the Board of Regents had placed the resources of the University at the disposal of the several departments of the Federal Government, including those of War, Navy, and Agriculture. As will be indicated later, the advisors were directed to make a confidential report on the measures which might be undertaken within their respective counties to promote food production.
On April 8, 1917, the President of the University directed the Department of Agriculture to assist the State Council of Defense through its Committee on Resources and Food Supply, of which President Wheeler is chairman, in any manner that might be deemed necessary to further the interests of the nation.
As a result of this action, on April 10, 1917, Dean Hunt presented to the committee some fundamental considerations affecting the food supply of the United States, in which an immediate food and farm labor inquiry was recommended. Hunt, Thomas Forsyth, Some Fundamental Considerations Affecting the Food Supply of the United States, Univ. Calif. Agr. Exp. Sta., Circ. 163, 1917. By direction of the Committee on Resources and Food Supply, the Department of Agriculture of the University, in coöperation with the United States Forest Service, the State Commission of Horticulture, the State Board of Health, the State Veterinarian, the State Market Director, the Sacramento Valley Development Board and the California Fruit Growers' Exchange,
Offer of Facilities and Services
At the request of the Western Division of the United States Army, a committee of the faculty of the Department of Agriculture with R. L. Adams, Associate Professor of Agronomy, as chairman, submitted a report to the government on the University Farm as an available location for a cavalry unit of the United States Army. Statements were furnished as to the possible utilization of other resources, such as that of the plant pathology department for medical work, and the special knowledge of C. W. Woodworth, Professor in Entomology, in optics, as bearing on the manufacture of field glasses. A detailed report was also made to the War Department on the military training of the members of the Department of Agriculture since one hundred and eleven of its one hundred and forty-seven members had undergone some military training.
Utilization of High School Boys and Girls
On May 12, 1917, Dean Hunt submitted to a joint meeting of the Committee on Resources and Food Supply of the State Council of Defense, and a committee of the State Board of Education, a plan for the mobilization of high school boys and girls for agricultural and other industrial work. This resulted in the active coöperation of Mr. Will C. Wood, representing the State Board of Education, and Mr. E. M. Cox, representing the school principals of the state. Under their direction a canvass of a portion of the
In order to attain as large an acreage of crops as possible, ten members of the faculty were sent out during the first two weeks of May, 1917, to canvass all the high schools of the state and call upon boys living on farms to join the agriculture clubs as war members in order to grow crops for their own profit and for the nation's benefit. In twelve days all of the high schools of the state except those located in large cities were canvassed by the following: S. S. Rogers, Associate Professor of Olericulture; J. I. Thompson, Assistant Professor of Animal Husbandry; R. S. Vaile, Assistant Professor of Orchard Management; G. W. Hendry, Assistant Professor of Agronomy; A. W. Christie, Instructor in Agricultural Chemistry; J. C. Martin, Assistant in Agricultural Chemistry; I. F. Davis, Instructor in Agricultural Extension; W. R. Ralston, Assistant in Agricultural Extension, and R. M. Hagen, Instructor in Agricultural Extension. Twenty-thousand boys were addressed, 998 responding by the planting of approximately 1500 acres.
In addition to this campaign, the regularly enrolled members of the agricultural clubs were asked to increase their acreage of crops. One hundred and eighty-five boys responded by planting 600 acres. Thus 2100 acres were planted by the boys to war crops, in addition to the regular acreage grown every year by agricultural club members on a contest basis.
Farm Labor Organization
That an acute farm labor situation might arise was early anticipated. In May, 1917, a plan was outlined by which Professor R. L. Adams of the Department of Agriculture would be jointly employed by the United States
Discussion of the Problem
On June 15 and 16, 1917, five sessions of the staff of the Department of Agriculture were held, at which time an attempt was made to anticipate the war emergency activities of the staff. Committees were appointed and duties assigned to the various members. Careful consideration was given to the character of all investigational work in progress, to the end that long-time projects of a fundamental character might be continued. Projects of a more temporary or less fundamental character gave way to war emergency investigations or agricultural extension work. About fifty new food production projects developed by war necessities have been started.
Coöperation with Other Agencies
In various ways members of the staff of the Department of Agriculture have been brought into active coöperation with the Federal Food Administration for California. Ralph P. Merritt, Comptroller of the University, has been granted leave of absence from the University to serve as Federal Food Administrator for California, in which capacity he has been engaged since the organization of the Food Administration. Dean Hunt has been chairman of its Agricultural Production Board, consisting of about one hundred and fifty farmers drawn from all parts of California, and chairman of the District Milk Commission of the United States Food Administration. The commission passed upon the price of milk
Permanent Organization
It is somewhat difficult to chronicle the war activities of the Department of Agriculture, because these activities are interwoven with its research and instructional work, and because many of the activities which may now be considered war emergency work were a part of the normal activities of the organization. To increase the production of food is, certainly, one of the functions, perhaps the chief function, of the department in peace times. Its war activities
For example, when war was declared, only twenty counties had organized with farm advisors. Anticipating funds from the Federal Government for additional farm advisors, which became available in September, the Department of Agriculture decided in June to attempt the organization of nineteen additional counties, using its own funds for expenses and contributing the services of nineteen members of the staff of the department for this purpose. Men were thus transferred from investigational and instructional work to promote more directly the increased production of food.
Vocational Agricultural Instruction
It is part of the regular work of the farmers' short courses to give instruction in operating gas tractors. This year special emphasis was placed upon this instruction on account of the need of tractor operators, an additional course being given at the Citrus Experiment Station and Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture at Riverside. During the year approximately 500 persons have been given instruction in operating tractors. By correspondence and otherwise, the department has sought to meet requests for tractor operators and to promote more efficient use of the existing tractors. To this end, a tractor and implement demonstration was held under the auspices of the California Tractor and Implement Association at the University Farm, Davis, April 17 to 19, 1918, inclusive, in which J. B. Davidson, Professor of Agricultural Engineering, took the leading part. The attendance during the three days was estimated at 45,000 persons.
While the College of Agriculture has been for years preparing students to teach agriculture in the secondary schools, the passage of the Smith-Hughes Vocational Educational Bill, combined with the war and the request of
Conferences
There have been many meetings and conferences, some of which may properly be chronicled as war activities because of the common impulse to make every agency contribute towards winning the war. An example might be cited in the meeting of the Plant Pathology War Emergency Board held in Agriculture Hall, Berkeley, on March 30, 1918. Twenty-nine plant pathologists and scientists in related fields were present. War activities for plant pathologists were discussed in this session in which a leading part was taken by eight members of the staff of the department.

Elwood Mead, Professor of Rural Institutions, by virtue of an arrangement between the University and the Department of the Interior, has acted as official advisor on reclamation projects embracing about half the states of the arid region. This work has necessitated conferences with officials and farmers in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and Washington, also two trips to Washington, D. C., to confer with authorities of the Department of the Interior.
C. F. Shaw, Professor of Soil Technology, and W. W. Weir, Assistant Professor of Soil Technology, have been active in the Food Production Committee of the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, the latter being chairman of the Committee on Drainage. J.

Publications
During the twelve months dealt with in this recital the Department of Agriculture and Agricultural Experiment Station have published fourteen bulletins, thirty-nine circulars, and fifty numbered emergency leaflets. Most of these publications deal with subjects relating to the increasing of food production; many have been published to answer specific questions or promote programmes of immediate
Special Courses and Lectures
In addition to special courses in poultry husbandry, dairying, and food canning and preservation, given to home demonstrators and others expecting to practice or give instruction in these matters, a laboratory and demonstration course was given at Berkeley by the Division of Viticulture in the practical details of food preservation to students who were properly prepared and who expected to make use of the knowledge during the summer. F. T. Bioletti, Professor of Viticulture and Enology; J. R. Zion, Assistant in Viticulture, and E. A. Way, Field Assistant in Viticulture, gave during the year sixty-two demonstrations to grape growers in fifteen counties. Twenty-six demonstrations of methods of food preservation were given by W. V. Cruess, Assistant Professor of Zymology, in thirteen counties, and three demonstrations to olive growers by Professor Bioletti in two counties.
The total attendance was 4396. The number of inquiries during the year by letter, telephone and personal visit has been exceedingly large. In the main office of the Division of Extension alone, more than 30,000 letters have been written, while the total number of letters written by members of the staff of the Department of Agriculture, not including farm advisors and agricultural club leaders, has been during the year approximately 120,000. The majority of the inquiries deal directly with the production of food and its preservation. Many calls have been received for assistance in controlling insect pests, fungus diseases and
During the Christmas recess a special short course for veterinarians was held at Davis, in which surgery of the army horse and the prevention of blackleg and anthrax, two diseases causing serious losses in cattle in this state, were the principal subjects of discussion. Eighty-seven veterinarians attended; a number of them have since entered the veterinary reserve camps of the United States Army.
A training course for machine milkers--the first ever arranged by a public institution--was conducted at the University Farm, April 1 to 12, 1918, for the purpose of ameliorating in a measure the growing difficulty of securing efficient hand milkers on dairy ranches.
Agricultural Preparedness Train
Through a coöperative arrangement between the Salt Lake Railroad and the Experiment Stations of Utah, Nevada, and California a special Agricultural Preparedness Train was run over the Salt Lake Route from Sandy, Utah, to Los Angeles, California, during the month of May, 1917. The Agricultural Experiment Station of California furnished the exhibits for two cars--one having a very complete display of commercial varieties of beans, the other showing various forage crops. Two members of the station staff accompanied the exhibits, explaining to inquirers the variety or varieties best suited to certain localities or to types of soil, and offering suggestions as to methods of culture.
Farm Labor
During the crop season of 1917 careful inquiries were conducted into the farm labor situation under the direction of Professor R. L. Adams, to determine actual conditions, contributing causes and possible remedies. Univ. Calif. Agr. Exp. Sta., Circ. 193 Early in December, 1917, a plan of operation based on the experiences of this and other states was prepared for the guidance of those investigating farm labor problems. This plan embraced as its important features the following:
- The recognition of the fact that men engaged in unnecessary industries in the cities, women, and high school students, constitute a potential source of farm labor.
- The reorganization and extension of existing public employment agencies to a point at which a larger utilization of all forms of labor would be more efficiently distributed.
- To reinforce the chief provision of this plan, it was necessary to have every county act as a unit in assisting in its execution, with the county farm advisor serving as the central agency for each county; the mobilization of women and high school students as aids in the farm labor situation, constituting the tasks of the California Industrial Welfare Commission and the State Board of Education.
This plan has been carried out and many of its details comprise the present basis of procedure.
Looking beyond the possibility of the state's labor supply, potential and actual, the plan further provided for the consideration of the proposal for the importation of foreign labor provided the federal agencies for labor supply were unable adequately to add to the state's supply.
Accompanying the execution of the provisions of the plan, a careful inquiry was conducted during February and March to determine the probable farm labor needs and supplies for 1918, which resulted in showing a shortage of labor above the visible supply for every month. This is indicated in the following table:
| Month | Needs other than sugar beets | Sugar beet needs | Total needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| April | 1,150 | 3,000 | 4,150 |
| May | 3,400 | 3,000 | 6,400 |
| June | 6,375 | 1,000 | 7,375 |
| July | 8,475 | ... | 8,475 |
| August | 9,025 | 3,000 | 12,025 |
| September | 9,450 | 3,000 | 12,450 |
| October | 6,875 | 3,000 | 9,875 |
| November | 2,750 | ... | 2,750 |
| December | 800 | ... | 800 |
These figures were based on normal conditions. Necessarily, a reduction which may be considerable, must result from the deficient rainfall, north winds and substitution of crops demanding less man power, all contributing to a very much smaller agricultural production for 1918 than that anticipated during the winter.
Before the execution of the general plan it became evident that, regardless of other considerations, there were certain classes of work in connection with this year's harvest for which it would be essential to obtain foreign labor--under existing conditions, Mexican.
Special efforts have been made to render federal regulations governing the importation of Mexican labor less stringent. Attempts were made to resort to the original regulations so that railroads could return to free importation of Mexicans and so afford the farmers an added supply of labor for their needs. These attempts failed, and since, under existing federal restrictions, free movement of Mexicans to the United States is not possible, arrangements were made with the California and Colorado Agricultural Labor Association for importation of Mexicans to be used by other individuals or formers under existing farm labor regulations. This arrangement permits economy in importation since Mexicans can now be obtained only under written agreement with the United States Government, for employment solely in agriculture.
Much work has been necessary to maintain a friendly attitude on the part of Mexican officials both in California and in Mexico.
A study of man labor cost of production, to serve as a basis for determining wage standards, was made in January, based on usual crop yields of twenty different crops. As a general result of this investigation it was found that due to high prices of essential farm products, wages might exceed considerably those of normal times--perhaps even be doubled--and still permit of profit.
As a result of special efforts constantly being made to bring about a clearer understanding on the part of the district exemption boards as to California's labor needs and as to what constitutes agricultural labor, it is felt that a larger share of bona fide farm labor will be given deferred classification.
Other activities of the office of the farm help specialist have included actual placement of labor, the establishment of a school for labor at the University Farm, search for additional sources of labor, and mobilization of certain heretofore untapped sources. The University has constantly coöperated with the following organizations: the Commission of Immigration and Housing, the California Industrial Welfare Commission, the Farmers' Committee of the State Council of Defense, the Women's Land Army of America, the Attorney-General's Office (in draft work), the Y. M. C. A., the Boy Scouts, and the State Board of Education; it has also been closely associated with the operations of such private concerns as the Valley Fruit Growers' Association, the California and Colorado Labor Association, the Imperial Valley Labor Association, the California Federation of Farmers, coöperative market associations, and with various public, private, and social committees appointed to consider the farm labor problem.
Activities of Farm Advisors
At the beginning of the war, there were fifteen farm advisors at work. Without propaganda, counties had qualified as fast as funds were available. Apparently there were ample grounds for the expectation that by 1922 all agricultural counties of California would have adopted this system which would gradually have spread over the state during a period of ten years. By February, 1917, it became apparent that war was imminent. Obviously food would be a primary consideration. The farm advisors, therefore, began quietly to make plans for an increased production as an aid to the war, which appeared inevitable. For all counties having farm advisors, confidential surveys were made and delivered to the central office. These clearly indicated certain districts where increased production was feasible. Plans were made for wide propaganda in these districts. The six itinerant assistant farm advisors were quietly moved into these sections to aid the farm advisors when the situation should develop. The outbreak of war in April, therefore, did not find the farm advisor system wholly unprepared in those counties in which men had already been appointed.
However, a large proportion of the agricultural regions of the state did not have farm advisors or farm bureaus. Neither were there funds to pay additional men had they been available. But no sooner had war been declared than the necessity for an increased food supply began to loom large among the war measures. The work done by farm advisors (or county agents, as they are sometimes called) had apparently been so successful in various parts of the country that a general demand arose that their number be increased to supply every agricultural county with such an officer. In most states, councils of defense placed the plan among their proposals and a bill quickly followed in Congress to that end. By September, legislation had been passed appropriating more than $4,000,000 for this purpose
There appeared to be thirty-nine counties in California where farm advisors would be most valuable. Of these, twenty had already qualified; all but one of the twenty had farm advisors at work. In order to bring the matter to the attention of the people of the other counties, nineteen members of the staff of the Department of Agriculture volunteered, each to stand sponsor for the campaign in one county. The plan was put before the people of the state at a meeting called by the Governor, as the Chairman of the State Council of Defense, at the capitol at Sacramento on September 10 and 11, to which were invited the entire State Council of Defense, the chairmen of the county councils of defense, the chairmen of county boards of supervisors and certain representatives of the Department of Agriculture. Not the least interesting feature of the meeting was the testimony given in brief addresses by the presidents of the farm bureaus on the value of the work in the counties already established.
The plan also contemplated the appointment of a large number of assistant farm advisors in order not only to extend, but to intensify the work. These assistants were to be distributed on a basis of the number of farms in the county. All counties having more than 1500 farms were to be entitled to an assistant provided the expenses of $1000 per year were met by the board of supervisors. Larger counties were to be given additional assistants on a basis of one assistant to each additional 1500 farms.
By May 1, 1918, work had progressed far in the organization of the nineteen new counties: eleven counties had their farm bureaus completely formed, their appropriations from the boards of supervisors, and their farm advisors appointed; two other counties had their farm bureaus
Defense Programme of the Farm Bureaus for 1917
During 1917, soon after the beginning of the war, every farm bureau in California voted to transfer its activities from its past regular programme to one aimed primarily toward the aid of the National Defense. Every county adopted a defense programme, the main features of which were:
I. The entire membership of the Farm Bureau should constitute a defense department with a committee of five members in charge, appointed by the president. Of this committee, there should be four subcommittees on (1) production, (2) labor supply, (3) financial assistance, and (4) the conservation of food and the elimination of waste. Each one of these, it was planned, would be directed by a member of the executive commitee of the defense department.
II. The programme contemplated: (1) the abandonment of all activities of the farm bureaus which did not bear directly upon the winning of the war, except those activities necessary to the fundamental organization; (2) the inauguration of certain new projects for 1917, which the farm bureaus would endeavor to carry on with all possible energy. While these projects varied in the different counties, the list generally followed for the 1917 season was as follows:
- Labor survey.
- Increase in acreage of grain sorghums.
- Increase in acreage of beans.
- Increase in acreage of irrigated lands by pumping plants, etc.
- Increase in number of brood sows kept on general farms.
- Increase in number of small flocks of poultry kept on general farms.
- Increase in number of vegetable gardens for home use on general farms.
- Increase in number of boys registered in agricultural clubs as war members.
- Financial survey of the county for funds needed for increased cropping.
- Campaign for the increase of home canning.
- Silo campaign for the better use of forage crops.
III. While in the past the farm advisors answered all requests to call on farmers and to give advice on matters whether of importance or not, it was decided that so long as the war lasted, the farm advisors would attempt through their local directors to determine which matters would be of the most service in the national campaign. It was recognized that during the war there would be an added burden of many new projects and that every farm advisor's office would be overwhelmed with the amount of work it was called upon to carry.
Increase in the Acreage of Grain Sorghums
The fact that grain sorghums have a wide adaptability, grow with a relatively small amount of moisture and may be planted comparatively late in the season, made this project one of the most important undertaken by the farm bureaus in the early summer. The nineteen county farm advisors believe that their campaigns increased the crop 29,918 acres. There was a general difficulty in obtaining good seed, however, and during the late fall the second state-wide project was adopted whereby each farm bureau center selected within the community one or more fields which were of the best and most uniform type and from these selected enough heads to supply the entire farm bureau center for its planting in the spring and summer of 1918. Generally, the grain sorghums throughout the state have been so successful as an immediate aid to the food problem that a wide expansion is certain during the next few years.
Increase in the Acreage of Wheat
The national government decided that it was necessary for America to raise a billion bushels of wheat in 1918. Therefore, a quota was assigned each state by which it should increase its product. This increase required about 80,000 acres from California. The farm advisors adopted a uniform plan whereby they contemplated making farm-to-farm canvasses of those sections of their counties which might grow wheat instead of barley, proposing to the barley farmers that they should transfer one-tenth of their barley acreage into wheat. This, it was known, would more than make up the quota required. The call upon the farmers to raise wheat was not made because it might be a money-making project, but because the necessities of the nation required it. The farm advisors took no responsibility for the subsequent financial outcome. Since, however, the price of wheat for 1918 was guaranteed by an Act of Congress, and since the price of barley was still an open question, many farmers, upon their own initiative, have undertaken to plant wheat, and have planted an increased acreage. In most counties, the original plan for a farm-to-farm canvass was carried out, with the result that practically all counties exceeded their quotas.
Increase in Acreage of Beans
As an aid to the meat supply, beans, which are high in protein and which net a large money return per acre where they can be successfully grown, form one of the most promising annual crops. The farm advisors report that in their counties the acreage was increased 14,264 acres as a result of the high prices and of the programme of publicity into which the farm bureaus entered. Because bean culture has become more thoroughly established over a wider area than heretofore, it is generally believed it will become one of the leading agricultural industries of the state. California produced the largest acreage and yield of dry, edible beans

Defense Programme of Farm Bureaus for 1918
Since the beginning of the war the number of farm bureaus organized in counties has increased from seventeen to thirty-six. Of these, thirty-one counties have farm advisors installed. There are 20,000 farmers in California who annually pay a dollar to belong to the farm bureaus. The counties in the farm bureau system now cover 85 per cent of the farms of the state. For the first time it has become possible to reach the farmers of California by personal contact through a state-wide organization.
The food production campaign for 1918 was launched at a conference of the county farm bureaus in California held at Berkeley, March 11, which was attended by three representatives of each farm bureau and by the farm advisors and assistants.
President Wilson sent the following message to the conference which was received with much enthusiasm:
I am greatly interested in the emergency food-production conference to be held at Berkeley. It is highly important that we do everything within our power to secure sufficient supplies for our own population and Army and for the nations with which we are associated. I trust the conference will find ways of overcoming the difficulties inherent in the situation and that its labors will be fruitful of large results and thereby aid in bringing this war to a successful termination. May I not suggest that you read to those assembled at the conference, as a message from me, the recent statement I made to the farmers of the nation through the conference at Urbana?
The day was spent in discussion of definite detailed plans for the forthcoming season. These were summarized in a reply telegram addressed to President Wilson:
Berkeley, Cal., March 11, 1918.
The President:
The members of the emergency food production conference, representing the agricultural interests of the State through the 36 organized county farm bureaus, received your telegraphic message with great enthusiasm and have adopted the following State-wide program for the season of 1918:
- To urge the building of a silo and planting of sweet sorghums for silage and for sirup on every dairy farm in California.
- To put out on 20,000 farms one good brood sow or two pigs in order to increase the amount of pork that the State will raise. At least 40,000 more hogs will be so raised.
- To develop boys' agricultural clubs in every community in California where supervision can be provided. Three thousand boys were already growing crops. Thousands more are to join from this campaign.
- To bring the women of California who live on farms into active organization as a part of the county farm bureaus in order to increase food conservation.
- To handle farm labor siuation by eliminating unnecessary activities and working harder on essential ones; also further better distribution of labor by means of Federal employment stations and coöperation of farm bureaus.
- To investigate immediately the seed supply of the State in order to be assured that an adequate amount is on hand to plant the 1918 crops.
- To protect grain fields and grass ranges from fire by means of county-wide protective organizations under farm bureaus and thus eliminate a quarter of a million dollars annual loss in foodstuffs.
Please rest assured of our hearty coöperation for the successful prosecution of the war.
| B. A. TEAGARDEN, Chairman, | |
| ROGER L. RICE, | |
| J. L. HAREAN, | |
| B. H. CROCHERON, State Leader. |
These campaigns are now under way and will consume the entire time and attention of the farm bureaus and farm advisors during the present year.
Agriculture Club Work
In order to increase the amount of food being produced by the agriculture club members of the state, a continuous plan of work has been outlined to keep the members active through the entire year. Each member is to carry on a livestock feeding project during the winter when few crops can be grown. In order to fit in with the increased pork production campaign the formation of pig clubs has been especially emphasized. Early spring crops, such as potatoes, follow the annual project, succeeded in turn by such summer crops as beans and sorghums. The sorghum crops will furnish grain to feed a larger number of livestock the following winter. Special clubs, i.e., sheep and lamb clubs, have been organized to conserve orphan and twin lambs which normally are slaughtered in large numbers each spring.
The number of high school teachers of agriculture, coöperatively employed as district club leaders, has been increased from fifteen to thirty-four. The enrollment has already increased from 1879 boys in 1917 to 2389 boys and girls in 1918. Thousands more will enroll for planting summer crops.
Club members, especially those enrolled in agriculture in clubs, are proving to be excellent demonstrators of the
Home Demonstration Work
Before the outbreak of the war three specialists were employed by the College of Agriculture for demonstration work among farm women. These traveled through the state giving advice on the conservation of farm products. With the passage of the war emergency bill for “stimulating agriculture and facilitating the distribution of products,” the United States Department of Agriculture allotted $20,000 to California for demonstration work for farm and city women to be conducted through the College of Agriculture.
The state was then divided into nine districts, in each of which a woman was employed as demonstration agent. Since the bill did not pass Congress until late in August, it was October before the new appointees were at work in their districts. Four major projects occupied their main attention: (1) conservation of food by canning, drying, etc.; (2) the substitution of foods to take the place of wheat, meat, etc.; (3) the increase of home gardens on farms; and (4) the increase of small poultry flocks on farms. The demand for this type of work proved so large that the number of demonstrators was increased to eleven--as many as the funds permitted. During the year, 1342 demonstrations were given and 551 lectures delivered, or a total of almost 2000 meetings attended by 66,029 persons.
It became evident that it was impossible for a demonstrator to cover adequately several counties since the greatest efficiency of this work is achieved through personal visitation at the request of the people. It is agreed, therefore, during 1918 and 1919 to transfer the work from a district basis ebmracing several counties, to a plan whereby
In order to secure a special organization through which the home demonstrator might reach the women of the county who desire this form of service, a plan has been devised whereby farm home departments of the farm bureaus are being formed in thirty-five counties; of these, nine are already completed. Women therein join the farm bureau on the same basis as men, but are expected to be particularly interested in the work for the benefit of the farm home. Demonstration meetings for the women will be held in every farm bureau center on an established monthly schedule when women county demonstrators are installed. It is expected that through an increased appropriation by Congress to the Department of Agriculture, funds will be allotted to California during the forthcoming year for the special furtherance of this enterprise in twenty counties.
School and Home Gardens
The school and home garden work has not been actively promoted in a general state-wide campaign, the College of Agriculture having contented itself with giving advice on conditions essential to success. Its purpose has been to promote gardens only where the local conditions warrant reasonable assurance of success. Obviously, the production of food is not increased by attempts which result in failure, no matter how praiseworthy the motive. The work has largely fallen upon O. J. Kern, Assistant Professor of Agricultural Education, who has coöperated with the Red Cross organizations in giving many lectures at schools on war gardens.
Land Settlement
The State Land Settlement Board, of which Professor Elwood Mead is chairman, has acquired, prepared and subdivided for settlement about 6400 acres of land at Durham, California. More than 1000 acres were seeded, chiefly to wheat and barley. The entire area, mainly devoted to pasture, will be settled and intensively cultivated before the end of 1918. In addition to its contribution to the food supply of California, it promises to exercise a marked influence on policies to be adopted for providing homes for soldiers after the war. Professor Mead has been called to Washington for a portion of his time to carry on this important reconstruction work.
Sanitation in Military Camps
During the summer and autumn of 1917, W. B. Herms, Associate Professor of Parasitology, was almost continuously engaged in investigating the sanitation of the seventy-three camps of the Western Department of the United States Army, particularly in regard to mosquitoes and flies. This work, which is the outcome of the mosquito survey of the state, was begun in 1916, in coöperation with the State Board of Health. This important undertaking led to Professor Herm's appointment as Captain in the Sanitary Corps of the National Army. The investigation will be continued and, it is expected, completed during the coming summer by S. B. Freeborn, Assistant Professor of Entomology. Professor Freeborn has recently been commissioned First Lieutenant in the Sanitary Corps.
Fire Control
The annual loss in grain, forage and timber by fire in California is estimated to be about $750,000, approximately equally divided among the three items. When war was declared there was no effective organization for the control
Fish Investigations
The Committee on Resources and Food Supply of the State Council of Defense, on April 10, 1917, directed the College of Agriculture to report upon sources and supply of fish in California. This the College of Agriculture was enabled to do, through E. J. Lea, Associate Professor of Nutrition and Head of the Food Laboratory of the State Board of Health, on May 10, 1917. The subsequent assignment of Dr. E. D. Clark, trained investigator in this problem, by the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture to the Federal Food Administration for California made it unnecessary to continue further investigations. Dr. Clark was assisted in obtaining two trained men, and they have since used the laboratory of the Division of Viticulture.
Grasshopper Control
During the summer of 1917, the Division of Entomology made a grasshopper survey of the state in order to locate the breeding grounds of that insect. As a result of an extensive examination, county farm advisors, county horticultural commissioners and interested private individuals were instructed as to the possible danger of grasshopper attacks and the localities in which these attacks might arise. In addition, many demonstrations were made in the districts concerned. At the request of the United States Forest Service, the Division agreed to coöperate in the control of grasshoppers on the stock ranges of the Plumas and Lassen National Forests during the summer.
Bacillus botulinus
The Bacillus botulinus has caused at least nine deaths in California and Oregon during the past year, where improperly sterilized fruits and vegetables have been used. The Division of Viticulture has studied the death temperature of the organism under various conditions and has issued a brief statement. The usual methods of home canning have so far appeared to be safe. Cruess, W. V., Home and Farm Canning, ibid., Circ. 158.
Utilization of Garbage
The utilization of city garbage as food for swine, as a war emergency product, has been thoroughly investigated by the Division of Veterinary Science. Four members of the staff have been engaged in the work. It was found that many of the cities of California, including such large municipalities as Oakland and San Francisco, were destroying a considerable part of this valuable hog food. Experiments were carried on in collecting the garbage from twenty-four families of ordinary means in the city of Oakland, from June, 1917 to January, 1918, and feeding it to hogs. The
Serums and Vaccines
Garbage feeders invariably lost a high percentage of their pigs soon after weaning, which at times reached 50 per cent or more. All garbage feeders in the bay vicinity were visited on several occasions by various members of the staff and advised of the proper method of prevention of this loss by use of anti-hog-cholera serum. At present the loss from this cause in garbage fed hogs practically has been eliminated. Anti-hog-cholera serum has been manufactured and distributed in as large quantities as in the past, but more has been personally administered by members of the staff with uniformly successful results. Investigations of chicken diseases have continued and during the spring of 1918 a larger amount of chicken-pox vaccine was distributed than ever before, with highly successful results.
Nitrogen Fixation
The problem of nitrogen fixation was assigned to the Division of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology at the special request of the Committee on Sources of Nitrogen of the Council of National Defense, of which Mr. F. G. Cottrell of the United States Bureau of Mines is chairman. The committee asked for the transfer of C. B. Lipman, Professor of Soil Chemistry and Bacteriology, to Washington to study this special phase of the problem. It was finally decided, however, that the work could be just as effectively done as a part of the activities of this station. The object
Stored Grains
The College of Agriculture was represented on a committee with Professor Doane of Leland Stanford, Jr., University to assist the Food Administration in the preservation of foodstuffs. Inspections have been made of the larger warehouses of the San Francisco Bay region, Southern California, and the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys to determine what insects are present and the possibility of injury. Wherever losses were noted in any foodstuffs the attention of the warehouse man in charge was called to the fact and through him word was sent to the owner of the goods with recommendations for control measures. When possible, assistance has been given in practical control work, such as directions for the building of fumigating houses, practice of fumigation and in the use of insecticidal washes.
Economic Poisons
It is estimated that the agriculturists of the state paid out approximately two and a half million dollars during 1916 in the purchase of materials for the control of pests. Steps were taken by G. P. Gray, Assistant Professor of Entomology and Chemist in the Insecticide Laboratory, to ascertain whether acute shortages were apt to occur in the future and whether in some cases it might be desirable to substitute cheaper materials for the more expensive. It was concluded that there is no actual shortage of arsenic
Squirrel Campaign
The College of Agriculture has been coöperating with the State Commission of Horticulture in a state-wide campaign against the ground squirrel and other rodents whose depredations cause vast losses in food products. In this work the College of Agriculture has been assisted by the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the University, which has prepared two important publications. Dixon, Joseph, Control of the California Ground Squirrel, Univ. Calif. Agr. Exp. Sta., Circ. 191; Control of the Pocket Gopher in California, ibid., Bull. 281. M. R. Miller, Assistant Chemist in Insecticide Control, has analyzed the more important brands of commercial rodent poisons. A great variation in poison content was found. The results which have been published will, it is believed, cause the standardization of rodent poisons. Calif. St. Comm. Hort., Mon. Bull., April, 1918. A promising new method of squirrel extermination has been developed by Professors J. S. Burd and G. R. Stewart of the Division of Agricultural Chemistry in their investigation of fumigation methods.
Potash
Although started prior to the war, the Division of Agricultural Chemistry has carried on an extensive study of kelp with particular reference to the production of potash. Eight publications have been issued, which it is believed, have been useful in the development of the local potash industry. Investigations have also been made, and the
Cotton
In the summer of 1917 the War Department emphasized to the United States Department of Agriculture the necessity of increasing the supply of long staple cotton for its programme of aeroplane manufacture. Experiments had already been conducted by the Division of Agronomy at the Kearney Ranch, Fresno, in recognition of the importance of this crop. Gilmore, J. W., Cotton in the San Joaquin Valley, ibid., Circ. 192. On October 19, 1917, a preliminary meeting was held in Fresno under the auspices of the Farm Bureau to which all farmers interested in the planting of cotton were invited. More than one hundred attended this meeting, at which the salient facts of cotton production were presented and the desirability of growing this staple in the San Joaquin Valley set forth. A committee was appointed to organize a permanent cotton growers' association and to secure for prospective growers a supply of good Egyptian seed. Other meetings have been held from time to time, until now it seems that at least 6000 acres of this type of cotton will be planted in the southern San Joaquin counties. On February 14, 1918, a conference on the subject of cotton was held at Holtville. It is believed that 10,000 acres will be planted in the Imperial Valley the coming season as compared with 1000 acres planted last year.
Substitutes for Sugar
Between October, 1917 and May, 1918, G. A. Coleman, Instructor in Entomology, arranged the programmes and attended forty-three meetings for beekeepers in coöperation with Messrs. E. F. Atwater and G. S. Demuth of the United States Department of Agriculture. Sixteen counties in
A campaign, mentioned elsewhere, to increase the possible supply of sugar by growing sweet sorghums has been undertaken. Professor W. V. Cruess has made a special investigation of the practical methods of producing sorghum sirup, while B. A. Madson, Assistant Professor of Agronomy, has reported upon the investigation of several years concerning varieties and culture of sweet sorghums. Madson, B. A., Sweet Sorghum for Forage, ibid., Bull. 293. Investigations by the Division of Viticulture have proved that grape juice may be cheaply and successfully preserved with sulphurous acid until it can be transferred to a central point for sirup manufacture, and that the sulphurous acid can be completely removed and a very palatable sirup, suitable for cooking and table use, made from the juice with calcium tartrate as a by-product.
Vegetable Preservation
The home drying, salting and pickling of vegetables have been investigated and the results used as a basis for several publications. The commercial drying of vegetables is now being studied and has resulted in interesting several companies in drying vegetables for the War Department. Professor Cruess has actively coöperated with the members of the Subsistence Division of the Quartermaster Corps of the United States Army. The lemon juice method for the home canning of vegetables has been further tested during the past season and previous conclusions as to its reliability confirmed.
Wheat Production Conference
On August 27, 1917, Professor J. W. Gilmore attended a conference held under the auspices of the United States Department of Agriculture in Spokane, as a representative of the College of Agriculture, to consider with representatives of other mountain and coast states the methods of increasing wheat production. Subsequently a programme for increasing the production of wheat was laid out in California; first, by increasing acreage and, second, by increasing the yield per acre. Three general methods of increasing acreage were decided upon: further use of idle lands, irrigation of lands not otherwise suited to the growing of wheat, and by requesting farmers to substitute 10 per cent of the barley acreage for patriotic reasons. The increase of yield on existing acreage is to be brought about by better seed, more thorough preparation of the soil, greater care in seeding promptly and the application of fertilizers.
In response to a publicity campaign there was listed with the Division of Soil Technology 32,552 acres by owners and 39,000 acres by agents of owners. In addition, there were reported 265,850 acres by farm advisors, county horticultural commissioners, and others who were without authority to give leases or otherwise handle the land. Wherever possible to get the location and ownership of the last named tracts, they were investigated and in most cases were found to be used for pasture or other crops, or to be unsuited to production because of soil, climate or other reasons. Replies from 47 per cent of those who listed their land show that 8825 acres or 27 per cent listed by owners is now rented, and that 15,000 acres or 38 per cent listed by agents is rented. This gives a total rented of 23,825 acres, or 33 ⅓ per cent of the total 71,552 acres listed. No data are available regarding the land controlled by the 53 per cent of owners or agents who did not answer the letter of inquiry.
Irrigation
The assistance rendered by the Division of Irrigation Investigations to individuals and to particular enterprises has dealt mainly with increasing the irrigation of lands capable of producing grain and forage crops. A field survey of irrigation of wheat in California has been made. Adams, F., Extending the Area of Irrigated Wheat in California for 1918, ibid., Circ. 182. Practical help has been given in laying out farm ditches and irrigation pipe lines, installing pumping plants and preparing land for irrigation. Twenty-five cases of this kind have been dealt with during the year, involving a total area approximating 2500 acres. As a result of a state-wide conference in Berkeley, April 17, 1917, Decision No. 4278 was obtained from the State Railroad Commission. This decision removed legal restrictions on emergency deliveries of surplus irrigation water by utility water companies. An emergency act drafted by the Water Commission and the Railroad Commission, in conference with the Division of Irrigation Investigations, removed legal restrictions from emergency deliveries of irrigation water by individuals and mutual water companies. With the assent of the State Engineer and of the Attorney-General, an appeal was sent through the State Council of Defense to irrigation districts, urging emergency irrigation deliveries to land owners outside of districts. After numerous conferences signatures were obtained to a stipulation which practically vacated, for the period of the war and a reasonable time thereafter, an injunction issued in 1903 against the opening of Lake Land flood water canal from Kings River. This waiver makes possible the watering of at least 30,000 acres. In coöperation with motor and irrigation machinery supply houses in San Francisco, a ruling was obtained from the War Priorities Board through the Federal Food Administration for California, permitting priority orders for motors, engines and pumps needed for irrigation of essential crops.
Investigations were instituted, on July, 1917, of a controversy between the people of Lake County and the Yolo Water and Power Company, involving the use of water of Clear Lake for irrigation. These investigations were the basis for an agreement obtained April, 1918, by the Federal Food Administration for California, by which 10,000 acres of rice will be irrigated in Yolo County in 1918 with water pumped from Clear Lake. The agreement entered into will be supervised throughout the season by S. H. Beckett, Assistant Professor of Irrigation Practice, acting as representative of the Food Administration. A small demonstration project is under way at Redding with a view to hastening the use of water made available by Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District canal. A field investigation of opportunities for temporary utilization of water wasted in Auburn Ravine from the power plant of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company has been made. The water users and owners were brought together in a controversy regarding the use of Clark Ditch in El Dorado County. Assistance was given in the settlement of a controversy over distribution of irrigation water in Orangevale Colony. A preliminary financial investigation of California irrigation, drainage and reclamation enterprises, which contemplate substantial expenditures during the war period, has been made. This inquiry is for the purpose of enabling the federal authorities to report on these projects when called upon by the Capital Issues Committee of the United States War Finance Corporation.
Seed Supply
Information was widely distributed concerning the regional adaptation of six leading varieties of wheat. For many years these varieties have been under investigation by the Division of Agronomy. Arrangements were perfected whereby millers, warehouse men and grain dealers agreed to set aside for seed good stocks of the pure varieties.
Through coöperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, Professor W. W. Mackie and several assistants promoted in many parts of the state the treating of wheat and barley by standard methods for the prevention of smut. Laboratory work has been carried on to determine the effectiveness of these treatments. The party is now engaged in following up the results through the harvest.
In the spring of 1917 and again in 1918, J. W. Gilmore, Professor of Agronomy, secured from as large a number of farms as possible, data on the amounts and kinds of seed needed for planting, and the amounts and kinds of seed on hand for sale. These data, showing lists of farmers and seed firms from which seed could readily be secured, were sent to all farm advisors. Where it was found a shortage existed, dealers were notified to supply this shortage. Although it was sometimes difficult to keep an adequate report of the amounts and kinds of seed on hand by dealers, in general the system has been successful. It has also been helpful in enabling farmers having stocks of good seed on hand to dispose of them at reasonable prices.
Cultural Methods
The investigations of the Division of Agronomy carried on at Davis, Stockton, Fresno and El Centro during the past year, as heretofore, show the influence of the thorough preparation of soil upon the yield of wheat and barley, especially during those periods when the rainfall is subnormal. Thus the grain crop of 1917 at Davis showed but little effect of the deficient rainfall, while a normal yield during 1918 is at present indicated although it is the second year of deficient rainfall. In order to bring this matter to
Intercrops and Winter Cover Crops
At the University Farm, Davis, in May, 1917, feterita, dwarf milo and two varieties of beans were planted in a two-year-old and in a nine-year-old deciduous orchard. Neither of these orchards was irrigated. All of the crops made a splendid growth and produced heavily in the two-year-old orchard without any apparent injury to the trees. None of the crops made a successful growth in the nine-year-old orchard. It thus seems possible to produce a great deal of food material in young orchards without detriment to the trees, even under dry land conditions. What crops would thrive in a nine-year-old orchard if irrigation were available is being determined this summer.
Careful estimates made early in 1917 indicated that there were in southern California about 77,000 acres of young irrigated citrus orchards that might be intercropped without injury to the trees. Intercropping, especially with beans and to some extent with potatoes and grain sorghums, was advocated. A survey made later in the season by Professor R. S. Vaile indicated that while normally only 25 per cent of such groves are intercropped, this last year at least 45 per cent have been so handled. About 30,000 acres were planted to beans, 3000 to grain sorghums, 2000 to potatoes and 1000 to corn. A special study of the results obtained has been published. Vaile, R. S., Intercropping of Young Irrigated Orchards, ibid., Circ. 174.
The investigations of the Citrus Experiment Station show that the cheapest source of nitrogen is through the use of leguminous, winter cover crops. Metz, M. W., Green Manure Crops in Southern California, ibid., Bull. 272. In view of the great war demand for commercial nitrogenous materials,
Fruit Drying Industry
During the season of 1917, W. L. Sweet, Instructor in Pomology, and other members of the Division of Pomology conducted an inquiry into practices followed by the leading growers of deciduous fruits. Special attention was given to the cost of different operations, and the total cost of drying and curing the various deciduous fruits. This survey has made available information enabling those just engaging in the business to begin employing the best practices and also enabling many experienced growers to improve their methods.
Sugar Beets
The shortage of sugar and the known relation of curly top or blight disease of beets, caused by the bite of a leaf hopper, to the production of sugar beets throughout the western third of the United States have caused R. E. Smith, Professor of Plant Pathology, to redouble his efforts to the end that practical methods of control may be secured. H. H. Severin, Instructor in Entomology, has been relieved of all teaching and other research duties to give his whole time to the study of this destructive leaf hopper. In May, 1917, the station issued a circular of information, including estimates of cost of production which were submitted to the committee of the United States Food Administration, which also reported on the price the grower should receive for sugar beets. Adams, R. L., Fundamentals of Sugar Beet Culture under California Conditions, ibid., Circ. 165. Professor R. S. Vaile also made a special
Potato Production
During the winter of 1917, several conferences were held upon the outlook for potatoes during the approaching year. It was deemed inadvisable to undertake any campaign for increasing the acreage of potatoes since it seemed probable that the high prices then ruling and the general agitation for planting in home gardens would cause the supply to be maintained. As was anticipated, a sufficient supply of potatoes was produced to meet existing needs and in some localities an overproduction was apparent. Steps are now being taken to promote the production of potatoes during the season of 1918, since there is some danger of a reduced acreage due to relatively low prices which have ruled during the last few months.
Nutrition Studies
The war has occasioned, through the use of food substitutes, new demands upon the Division of Nutrition. Analyses have been made at the suggestion of the Federal Food Administration of California of burro meat, Belgian hares, bolted flour from grain sorghums and other meals offered as wheat substitutes, including barley flour and barley breakfast foods. Nutrition surveys of all state institutions have been made for the purpose of revising and regulating diets to conform to the policy of the United States Food
Feedstuffs for Live Stock
The incentive to adulterate feedstuffs has been brought about through their greatly increased cost. Examination of a large number of these adulterated feedstuffs has been made by the Division of Nutrition, thus preventing producers from being defrauded. Fifty individual studies of new feedstuffs, some of them involving several analyses, have been made, among which may be mentioned by-products of barley flour, condensed whey, peanut by-products, raisin seed, O. C. Meal, spinach stalks, salt bush seed, water grass seed, artichoke silage, beet top silage, bean straw silage, Egyption corn bran and middlings, buck-wheat by-products, tree moss, liquid garbage, and tule grass. A circular on minor feedstuffs for domestic animals has been published. Woll, F. W., Feeding Stuffs of Minor Importance, ibid., Circ. 167.
Although not a product of wide commercial importance, it has been found that buckeyes may be used for poultry and hog foods where occurring in sufficient abundance to warrant. By a simple process the bitter principle of the buckeye can be eliminated. This method consists in soaking in a solution of 1 per cent lye over night. The produce is afterwards thoroughly washed, dried and ground. Good results with poultry have been obtained when the processed material constituted 25 per cent of the mash ration.
Production of Wool
A campaign has been conducted to increase the rearing of farm flocks and to lessen the heavy losses of newly born lambs on the ranges. To this end an extended survey of
Pork Production
In order to promote, the production of hogs, representative animals from experimental lots which had been fed to determine the comparative economy of heavy and light grain rations on pastures, were exhibited at the various hog raising centers of the state. These meetings were attended by one hundred and fifty-five persons. Great interest was created and lively discussions of feeding methods resulted.
Poultry Production
The College of Agriculture has been coöperating with the Federal Food Administration of California and the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture in a study of the production and marketing of poultry. In various ways, such as the publication of circulars, personal addresses, use of lantern slides and personal visitations by women home demonstrators, the College of Agriculture has sought to extend poultry raising to farms and regions where foods can be cheaply grown, and to stimulate the practice of keeping a limited number of chickens in city backyards for the purpose of utilizing garbage. Seventy sets of blueprints and specifications for farm poultry houses and backyard poultry houses, designed by the College of Agriculture, have been sent out. The use of potatoes, barley, rice and rice products has been
Dairy Products
It has been shown that the amount of protein in skim milk equals that in the beef consumed in the United States. The Dairy Industry Division of the College, at the request of the United States Department of Agriculture, has sought to promote the more extensive use of cottage cheese, thus using skim milk which would otherwise be put to a less important purpose, such as the making of casein for sizing paper. In furtherance of this plan, a special course in cottage cheese making was given. A course of instruction has been outlined with a view to preparing women to fill positions as milk and cream testers in dairy establishments now employing men for this work.
Short Courses for Women
Since May 15, 1918, the College of Agriculture has established and conducted two courses for women, of four weeks' duration each, the object being to develop leaders for groups of women agricultural workers in the state. These courses were held at the University Farm at Davis. In addition, at the request of the Woman's Land Army of America, the College of Agriculture has conducted a special class for women machine milkers at the University Farm.
Department of Botany
The Department of Botany has devoted considerable time and has expended a certain portion of its appropriations for war work, particularly as approved by the Pacific Coast Research Conference in connection with the State Council of Defense. An appropriation of $700 has been received from the Council and has been expended on investigations of the possibilities of a supply of rubber from native plants. This work has been carried out by H. M. Hall, Associate Professor of Economic Botany, and T. H. Goodspeed, Assistant Professor of Botany. Their preliminary report has been published in Science of May 10, 1918 (vol. 47, no. 1219, pp. 452-454) under the title, “An Emergency Supply of Rubber.”
The plants investigated belong to Chrysothamnus and related genera. There is no well established common name for the plants but they are included in the general category of “rabbit-brush.” They are sometimes also known as “golden brush.” These are large plants which grow in abundance on the desert area and in the Great Basin generally. It has been found that some of the species carry 10 per cent rubber. However, those which are sufficiently common to make their utilization possible carry not more than 5 per.cent.
This is not sufficient to be of interest commercially with rubber at its present price. If, however, the importations of raw rubber should be curtailed through enemy action, this emergency supply existing within the border of the continental United States could be drawn upon. While there is not enough to supply the need for even a single year, the total amount nevertheless would be considerable. The rubber obtained from these plants is of good quality, though not equalling the quality of the best imported Para. The study is to be continued in order more definitely to locate the supply of the shrub and to work out various problems in connection with harvesting.
Other minor matters under consideration by the Department of Botany, either separately or in conjunction with other departments, have reference to unused food plants either for human beings or domestic animals, such as the buckeye, in particular, or for use in industries or scientific research, such as the economic value of certain seaweeds, particularly as substitutes for agar.
W. A. Setchell, Professor of Botany, is a member of the subcommittee on Botanical Investigations of the Pacific Coast Research Conference. W. L. Jepson, Associate Professor of Dendrology, is a member of the State Council of Defense.
Department of Civil Engineering
Beginning with the academic year 1918-19, the Civil Engineering College will administer a four years' curriculum in Military Engineering leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. This course of study is designed to prepare students for admission to the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, by competitive examination under the rules of the War Department.
C. G. Hyde, Professor of Sanitary Engineering, was a member of the Engineering Commission (G. A. Elliott, Chairman, Professor C. D. Marx of Stanford University, the third member) appointed by Colonel I. W. Luttle in charge of Cantonment Division, to design sanitary works for Camp Fremont, Menlo Park, California. Professor Hyde is now a Captain in the Sanitary Corps.
A. C. Alvarez, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, is assistant to the Manager of the University Military Bureau.
A. J. Eddy, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, is Captain in the Coast Artillery, stationed at the San Francisco Presidio.
C. T. Wiskocil, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, under the direction of Charles Derleth, Jr., Professor of Civil Engineering and Dean of the College of Civil Engineering, and assisted by J. R. Shields, Engineer in Testing Laboratory, conducted 250 individual tests on airplane materials during the year in the presence of government inspectors. Professor Wiskocil left for Washington May 15, to assist in the study of concrete ship construction. He was employed throughout the summer by the United States Emergency Fleet Corporation, Concrete Ship Construction Department.
E. D. Hayward, Instructor in Civil Engineering, is Second Lieutenant in the Sanitary Corps, stationed at Camp Fremont.
Principally under Valdemar Arntzen, Expert Mechanic in Civil Engineering Laboratory, the Civil Engineering Department during 1917-18, coöperating with the Department of Astronomy, assisted in designing and perfecting range finders for Captain Dinsmore Alter, C. A. R. C., formerly an instructor in the Department of Astronomy. From January to April, 1918, Mr. Arntzen and his assistants constructed numerous pieces of apparatus for Captain Stratton, formerly Professor of Psychology, and now in the United States Signal Corps. This equipment, to be used in the Aviation Schools at San Diego and at Kelly Field, Texas, consists of a set of three tambours, one pneumograph tube, one hand steadiness apparatus, one tilting chair and one reaction time apparatus. The equipment was made in coöperation with the Department of Psychology.
Department of Chemistry
Upon the outbreak of the war the Department of Chemistry held a meeting at which the instructors and students, both graduate and undergraduate, signed a pledge to work on any problem that might be assigned to them. Forty men were thus enrolled to devote their time to research and other work necessary to the prosecution of the war. The character of the tasks was varied: some were submitted by the National Council of Defense, some came from the state, some from chemical manufacturers in California, and some were suggested by members of the staff as timely or of value to California, either by virtue of its natural resources or its needs. A number of the men of the department have devoted a large part of their time to this work, some of them giving twelve to sixteen hours a day. A large measure of success has been attained in many cases.
While the problems submitted by the National Council of Defense must for the present be kept secret, not all of the investigations are of a secret nature. For example, the investigation of potash has been a subject of importance. As a fertilizer, potash is indispensable. While California soils may not as yet be in great need of this chemical, large quantities are used in the East. Prior to April, 1917, nearly half a million tons were imported. Only a small amount was made in this country. At present 200,000 tons are produced in the United States, with California in the front of the industry.
Long before the war there was a small production of potash made from seaweed. At first the drift seaweed was collected from the beaches, dried and burned, and the ash containing a small per cent of potash was sold as a fertilizer. Later this industry developed on a greatly increased scale, and at this writing many corporations maintain large factories. It was soon found, however, that the drift seaweed would not suffice for the greater demands, and complicated
Other sources of potash are the saline lakes and deposits in the southeastern part of the state, mainly in San Bernardino and Inyo counties. Considerable capital has been invested in some of these enterprises and the production of potash from these sources has reached large proportions. Just as in the case of seaweed, other products in addition to potash are obtained from these lakes and deposits, among them being salt, carbonate of sodium, sulphate of sodium, chloride and sulphate of magnesium, borax and boracic acid, and other bodies. In these instances, also, the laboratory of the Department of Chemistry has been of real service.
The ocean offers the same type of problems as do the saline lakes. Potash is a constituent of the ocean water as are nearly all other known salts. One of the questions taken up recently in the laboratory of the department was the separation of potash salts from ocean water. For several months this work has engaged the attention of a number of instructors and students who have studied the matter in both a theoretical and practical way. The largest source of potash, of course, is the ocean, but the difficulties of separating the other constituents of sea water offer many a baffling problem to the chemists of America.
In some cases nature has solved the difficulties, and it is for this reason that hitherto the Germans have had a monopoly of the potash industry. Ages ago a part of the ocean was confined near Stassfurt, and processes of fractional
A number of years ago, one of the former students of the Department of Chemistry, then instructor, devised a process for dissipating fogs and mists by means of a high tension electric discharge. This process, first used for cleaning the air of acid particles that were a nuisance and money loss in various acid factories and metallurgical works, then extended to purifying air of dust and other small particles, has become one of the most important industrial processes, and is used all over the world. It was installed by another of the graduates of the University of California at a cement factory at Riverside to eliminate the dust. When examined the dust was found to contain potash; a method was developed to collect it, and now it is used all over the United States for this purpose. Already it has changed the character of some of the cement mills--potash is now the main source of profit, and the cement merely a by-product.
Other sources of potash are rocks, minerals, and ashes of plants. From the last named source small amounts of potash are obtained by a simple proces sof lixiviation.
Another set of problems studied in the department's laboratory pertains to the production of cyanides. While cyanides of potassium and sodium are used to a considerable extent in California as insecticides and in the metallurgical industries, none has been made in the state. New methods of production promise to be of great value in converting certain raw materials into cyanide. Closely related to this aspect of the war work of the Chemistry Department
Other electrochemical products of importance studied in the departments are caustic soda, chlorine and various chlorine derivatives, steel, various ferroalloys, such as ferrochrome, ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, magnesium, copper, and zinc. Graduates of the University have been connected with the development of each of these industries.
Under the stimulus of the war, the manufacture of another class of chemicals, all of considerable technical importance, has been begun in this state by the department's graduates. This class includes organic preparations, such as anilin colors, benzoic acid, metol, saccharin, and phthalic anhydrids. Previously most of them were imported from Europe; now many of them are made in our own state.
Two of the University's graduates have devised methods for the synthetic preparation of important organic compounds. One has succeeded in making glycerine from sugar; another in preparing tartaric acid from starch. Both of these bodies are relatively expensive substances. Glycerine has heretofore been prepared from fats; tartaric acid, from grapes. The synthetic methods produce them from relatively cheap materials, viz., starch and sugar. Inasmuch as sugar can be made from starch, the importance of these processes is self-evident.
California petroleum offers another fruitful field for chemical investigations. The use of this material for the manufacture of gasoline, kerosene, lubricating oil, and asphaltum is familiar to every one, but the employment of petroleum as a source of raw material for the manufacture of chemical products is not so apparent. Without writing in detail it may be pertinent to mention toluol, the starting
The disposal of wood waste affords another field for research. In California most of the wood waste is burned in order to get rid of it, although in a few cases potash is obtained from the ashes. At various times wood distillation plants have been erected, usually on a small scale. Attempts have been made to convert this material into alcohol and other products. The character of the products varies greatly with the variety of wood employed. One of California's graduates has shown that the stumps of the redwood yield relatively large amounts of phenol, or carbolic acid, of an unusual degree of purity. It is from this substance that many of the high explosives are made; lyddite, melinite, ecrasite, shimosite are all derivatives of phenol.
Many experiments have been made in the laboratory of the department on the numerous trees and shrubs indigenous to California, and new chemical products of the most varied nature have been extracted. Oils, waxes, tanning materials, substitutes for rubber, alkaloids and other drugs, coloring matters that can be used for dyes, and numerous other materials have been separated and their properties studied.
The manufacture of essential oils from native and cultivated plants offers a large field for research. Various investigations in this area have been carried out in the laboratory of the department and some industries of this nature have been established under the direction of University of California graduates.
The above resume indicates briefly the character of the problems that the Department of Chemistry has been endeavoring to solve. In addition, it has attempted to
The difficulties of the work have been increased by the inability to obtain necessary apparatus and supplies. Many of these materials were made in Germany, and it is only recently that the American manufacturers have been able to supply the demand. Added to this was the greatly increased cost of supplies that were obtainable. The California State Council of Defense came generously to the aid of the department. Without their assistance it probably would have been impossible to carry out the programme. Another handicap lay in the fact that a large proportion of the staff had left for the national service, greatly increasing the burden of those who remained. But each man has done his duty, has speeded up as much as possible, has worked longer hours, has done his work in the face of great difficulties, and has not become discouraged or apathetic.
From an original number of forty-five, the Department of Chemistry has contributed more than a score of members of its staff of instruction to the military and other branches of the government during the war emergency. Their names will be found listed in another portion of the War Record.
Gilbert N. Lewis, Professor of Physical Chemistry and Dean of the College of Chemistry, has been commissioned Major in the Gas Service of the United States Army, in France.

Department of Economics
In October, 1917, the Department of Economics first gave tangible evidence of its ability to aid the government in war work. At that time the Labor Adjustment Board, investigating the strike then paralyzing shipbuilding, invited C. C. Plehn, Professor of Finance on the Flood Foundation, H. R. Hatfield, Professor of Accounting on the Flood Foundation, Jessica B. Peixotto, Professor of Social Economics, and F. R. Macaulay, Instructor in Economics, to its conference, with the result that Mr. Macauley presented an index to the board showing the increase of the cost of living in this district. I. B. Cross, Associate Professor of Economics on the Flood Foundation, later conducted for the Board a detailed inquiry on the cost of living between October 1, 1917, and March 1, 1918. In this work he was assisted by Felix Fluegel, and G. F. Mitch, both Assistants in Economics.
In February, 1918, Professor Hatfield, aided by Professor Cross, Mr. Macaulay, E. A. Kincaid, Instructor in Economics, and Mr. Fluegel, prepared a report for the United States Shipping Board on the labor conditions, possible output, etc., of the California shipbuilding plants. The Shipping Board characterized the work as “an invaluable service to the Government in carrying out its shipbuilding programme.” Since that time Professor Cross has been in constant touch with the largest shipbuilding plants and some of the unions in connection with the shipbuilding problems.
At the suggestion of the Ordnance Department in Washington, the Department of Economics has conducted four ordnance training schools, the purpose being to give preliminary training to men who are expected ultimately to reach the grades of non-commissioned, and in some cases, of commissioned officers in the Ordnance Service. The course of study at Berkeley covered the principles of stores-keeping, calculating methods of accounting, military organization,
Professors Hatfield and Daggett are members of the Subcommittee on Economics of the State Council of Defense. This committee has published a report on “The Relation of State Banks to the Federal Reserve System,” dealing with the necessity of concentrating credit facilities during the war. Professor Daggett also spent several months in preparing a report to the State Council of Defense on “The Iron and Steel Industry about San Francisco Bay with Special Reference to the Available Supply of Raw Material.”
Professor Plehn has been a member of the Second and Third Liberty Loan committees of Berkeley and the University of California. He was a delegate to the Joint Conference of the Western Economic Society and the City Club of Chicago, held in Chicago, June, 1917, to discuss the “Financial Mobilization for War.” He was also a delegate from California by appointment of the Governor of California to the Congress of States to discuss the “Coordination of Federal and State Taxation,” held in Atlanta, Georgia, October, 1917, and called with the official sanction of President Wilson. He prepared a paper on “War Finance” read before the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco and published in the Transactions of that body; and also a pamphlet on “War Finance in Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States,” written at the request of the San Francisco Patriotic Liberty Loan Committee of 1000 and used as part of its propaganda for the Third Liberty Loan.
Professor Daggett and Mr. Macaulay have served as assistants to the Berkeley Exemption Board, No. 1, while Professor Cross is one of Berkeley's Four Minute Men.
C. E. Brooks, Assistant Professor of Insurance, has served as Actuary and Advisor to the United States Bureau of War Risk Insurance, preparing various bulletins, determining questions of policy and interpreting the Soldiers' Insurance law.
Professor Peixotto is a member of the Subcommittee on Women in Industry of the National Council of Defense and also a member of the same committee of the State Council of Defense. During the first half-year of 1918 she was on leave of absence from the University as Executive Chairman of the Child Warfare Department of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Defense. During the first semester Professor Peixotto and Miss Lucy W. Stebbins, Associate Professor of Social Economy, conducted a Red Cross Training School for Home Service at the University, in which work they were assisted by Professor Cross and Mr. Macaulay. During the second semester a similar school was conducted in San Francisco under the direction of Solomon Blum, Associate Professor of Economics, and Dr. Louise Morrow, Assistant in Social Economics. Professor Stebbins is a member of the Home Service Committee of the Berkeley Branch of the Red Cross, of the University Auxiliary of the Red Cross, of the Advisory Board of the Women's Land Army and of the Executive Committee of the Berkeley Chapter of the Red Cross. She is also one of the traveling lecturers on Home Service authorized by the National Red Cross Committee.
Lincoln Hutchinson, Professor of Commerce on the Flood Foundation, is in Washington acting as Head of the Export Division of the War Trade Board. H. S. Shuey, Lecturer in Economics, has been a member of the San Francisco Third Liberty Loan Committee and of various Red Cross committees. Professors Hatfield and Daggett are spending the summer in Washington, engaged in work of the highest importance for the War Industries Board.
University Extension Division
The Bureau of Correspondence Instruction of the Extension Division has given enlisted men a special reduction of 40 per cent on all fees in the various courses and has provided special classes to meet the needs of men in service. The Extension Division has also coöperated with all official bodies in “drives” about the bay counties and in Los Angeles, and has been of genuine assistance in providing junior officers for the naval forces of the country through its courses in Navigation and Nautical Astronomy. See report on Training for U. S. Navy and Merchant Marine, p. 27.
The Bureau of Lectures gave twelve lectures in Los Angeles on “Problems Arising Out of the War.” Similar lectures have been given elsewhere.
The Bureau of Public Discussion has been instrumental in directing the debating activities of the high schools of the state upon war subjects, not only giving the debaters special knowledge on international topics, but being of great educational value to the thousands of persons who have heard these debates.
The Bureau of Visual Instruction has circulated stereopticon slides and moving picture films designed to inform the public concerning war service in the form of liberty loans, etc. It has prepared and circulated throughout the state a monthly lecture on current events dealing principally with war conditions.
Department of Geology and Mineralogy
Shortly after the entrance of the United States into the war the problem of the supply of certain minerals essential to war industries became very important. The situation was particularly serious because previously we had depended to a large extent on importation from distant lands. The war produced a scarcity of merchant ships, and the demand for all obtainable ship tonnage for the transportation of men, munitions, food and other war necessaries to Europe became most urgent.
It was known that California contained some of these important mineral substances, though before the war little had been done to secure them because they could not be laid down with profit in the industrial centers in competition with the imported material. The extent of our resources was not even roughly known, nor was it estimated what yearly contribution California could make to the necessary industrial supply. Prospectors and miners in general were not familiar with the desired minerals, their appearance, mode of occurrence, characteristics, or the promising localities for their discovery.
Following the appointment of G. D. Louderback, Professor of Geology, as Chairman of the Committee on Geology and Mineral Resources of the State Council of Defense, all of his time not demanded by necessary University duties was given to organized systematic investigation of certain California war mineral problems both in the field and in the laboratory. In this work he was aided by E. F. Davis, Instructor in Mineralogy and Geology, F. S. Hudson, Teaching Fellow in Geology and Mineralogy, and N. L. Taliaferro, graduate student.
The chief object of investigation this year was manganese. Over one hundred mines and prospects, lying in eighteen counties, have been examined and their nature, probable extent, origin, and availability investigated. The field and laboratory work on this subject led to definite
A great deal of energy has been expended on work that does not lead to definite reports, but which is believed to be of public value in assisting the development of war minerals. Some of the activities may be outlined as follows.
- Advising prospectors as to the nature and value of the mineral substances they have found. Hundreds of samples have been examined, both in the field and in the laboratory. In addition, the prospector is advised which minerals are worth following up, how best to do it, etc.
- Calling the attention of prospectors and others, by letter and personal conference, to materials of special value in the war industries that are likely to occur in the regions in which they are working.
- A case of California war minerals has been set up in the Geological Museum, especially to illustrate to the prospectors, most of whom are not familiar with the war minerals, the appearance of the different mineral types and different grades of ore, and of the commonly associated rocks. Descriptive labels accompany the specimens, and personal explanation and advice are often given the visitors.
- We have sought to learn of conditions in any part of the state that interfere with or prevent the operation of properties, or the marketing of products, with the idea of taking such steps as seem feasible to overcome or obviate such conditions. A number of these cases have been placed in our hands, and several have been successfully remedied.
- We have sought to engage the coöperation of other agencies in the study of special questions related to war minerals, supplying data and samples to assist such studies. the mineral industry. Requests for such information are continually coming from manq quarters.
- We supply, in so far as we are able, information that may be needed by committees, government departments, or other agencies that are seeking to solve scientific, commerical, or administrative problems affecting or affected by
Recently, plans have been maturing for a more definite basis of coöperation with the United States Bureau of Mines, the United States Geological Survey, and the Mining Department of the University, with all of which we have coöperated in an informal way during the last year.
Letters of approval of the work of the department have been received from Mr. S. Paige, Acting Chief Geologist, and Mr. G. O. Smith, Director of Survey, of the United States Geological Survey, from Mr. Edmund Newton, in charge of manganese investigations of the United States Bureau of Mines, and L. H. Duschak, Superintendent of the Berkeley Branch Station, and from Mr. Whitman Cross, Vice-Chairman of Division of Geology and Geography, and J. C. Merriam, Chairman of Division of Geology and Geography of the National Research Council.
A. C. Lawson, Professor of Mineralogy and Geology, and Dean of the College of Mining, is a member of the Subcommittee on Geology of the Pacific Coast Research Conference.
Department of Home Economics
Household Science
Food Administration Work
During the special term of five weeks, May 21 to June 23, 1917, two courses were offered in the Household Science Division of the Home Economics Department: the Red Cross course in Home Dietetics, by Josephine E. Davis, Assistant Professor of Household Science, and Miss Doris Daniels; and an Emergency Normal Course intended to give volunteer leaders of clubs and communities information and training in methods of presentation of the message of food conservation. Agnes F. Morgan, Assistant Professor of Household Science, was in charge.
There were registered in the Red Cross course one hundred and fifty women, of whom one hundred and twenty finished the work and received the Red Cross Certificate. Several of these young women have since entered the service as Nurses' Aids.
In the Emergency Normal Course there were registered twenty-one well qualified women, of whom seventeen finished the work. Most of these women are now active directors of food conservation work in their own communities.
During the Summer Session of 1917, a popular dietetics course largely devoted to problems of food conservation was attended by fifty nurses and forty-seven housewives.
On Sunday, July 1, 1917, a Half-Hour Programme on Food Saving was held in the Greek Theatre, under the auspices of this division. Mrs. R. O. Moody, Mr. A. H. Naftzfier and Professor Morgan spoke to a large audience on various phases of the subject
Food Experiments and Analyses
During the fall term of 1917, Professor Morgan and Edith L. Brown, Laboratory Assistant in Household Science, made a large number of analyses and digestibility experiments on whale meat in the hope of establishing the usefulness as human food of this hitherto wasted material. The senior dietetics class coöperated in this endeavor, as well as in a similar set of experiments upon ostrich meat, samples of which were sent to the department by the British and American Mercantile Company of El Centro. A bulletin on the results of these experiments is contemplated.
Public Speaking
In October, Professor Morgan met classes of women in Berkeley and Oakland for the purpose of aiding them in public speaking preparatory to the Food Pledge Drive of the last week of October. At Dean Stebbins' request, the housekeepers for the girls' clubs and boarding houses met during November with Professor Morgan to discuss ways and means of obeying the behests of the Food Administration.
Since April, 1917, all members of the staff, as well as several of the students, have given frequent talks and demonstrations before women's clubs, schools, churches, and other organizations in the interests of food conservation.
War Emergency Bulletins
The series of War Emergency Bulletins was begun in November, 1917. The five following have been issued in mimeographed form, and about 800 copies of each distributed:
- Practical Hints on Food Conservation. 5 pages.
- Milk, a Cheap Food at any Price. 4 pages.
- The Honor Ration. 3 pages.
- Suggestions for Instruction in Food Values through Window Exhibits. 11 pages.
- The Fuel Value of Food in Every Day Terms. 7 pages.
Dietary Survey
The Home Economics Department has coöperated fully with the National Dietary Survey now being carried out by Dr. C. F. Langworthy of the United States Department of Agriculture, four family studies, and two group studies having been finished and sent in since November, 1917. Besides these a careful record of consumption of food at the Associated Women Students' Counter for three weeks was kept by Miss Beatrice Marks, and will be shortly forwarded to Washington. This record shows an interesting reaction by the women students following the beginning of the Food Administration courses in February, 1918.
Food Conservation Courses
In February, 1918, the following courses as requested and outlined by the Food Administration, were given. A series of lectures on Food and the War, given by Professor Morgan, covered a period of twelve weeks. The total enrollment was six hundred and thirty-seven, of whom four hundred and ninety-two finished the course with credit. In the course on Fundamentals of Food and Nutrition in Relation to the War, two lectures by Professor Morgan were given each week for twelve weeks. The enrollment was sixty. The twelve weeks' course on the Use and Conservation of Food combined lectures with laboratory practice. This was supervised by Miss Davis assisted by Miss Alice B. McLear. Sixty-three were enrolled.
At the end of the term, students registered in all the courses were asked to hand in their names, home addresses, summer plans and to indicate their willingness to assist in Food Administration work. Over four hundred students responded, and the data secured was sent to the office of Ralph P. Merritt, Federal Food Administrator of California.
Final Rally
In the last week of the term, May 6 to May 10, a series of five lectures, summarizing as far as possible the material presented in the lectures on Food and the War was given. From thirty to fifty persons were present at each of these lectures.
Besides the distribution of the pamphlets sent us by the United States Food Administration, copies of the War Emergency Bulletins above mentioned were distributed to each of the students registered in the Food Administration courses.
Speakers' Seminar
At the request of several of the students in these courses an evening seminar in public speaking was held weekly during the term. Practice in short talks on food conservation at these meetings gave many students confidence to address outside clubs and schools.
An exhibit under glass, changing each week, and illustrating the material covered by the lectures in Food and the War, has been maintained in the lower corridor of the Library Building. Miss Alice H. Metcalf has been in charge.
Volunteer Student Service
Through the recommendation of Mr. Merritt, the United States Food Administration has asked Professor Morgan to act as state secretary for California in directing the activities of the students in food conservation courses in the various colleges and state normal schools. Professor Morgan was asked to provide plans and an organization for the coherent effectiveness of this potential force. She expects to coöperate with the already developed county organization worked out by Mr. Merritt and Miss Ebbets. Besides the University of California there are seventeen other institutions in the state which have been giving courses on the food problem. Miss Elizabeth Bridge has been asked to act as assistant in this undertaking.
Conference with Dean Arnold
On April 15, in the Home Economics Building on the Campus, a conference of representatives of all the universities, colleges and normal schools of California was called by the department at the request of the United States Food Administration. Dean Sarah Louise Arnold of Simmons College, a representative of the Collegiate Section of the United States Food Administration, spoke on the further use of women trained under the plan of Food Conservation courses. The meeting was attended by delegates from Stanford University, the University of Southern California, Mills College, Los Angeles Normal School, San Jose State Normal School, and also from the normal schools at Fresno, Chico, and San Francisco. A valuable spirit of coöperation among the workers present was established at this conference.
Dean Arnold addressed a large meeting of students in Wheeler Auditorium the same day upon the spirit of noblesse oblige as applied to service for the state in matters of conservation by university trained women.
Division of Household Art
In the summer of 1917, during the special term of five weeks from May 21 to June 23, four courses under direction of Mary F. Patterson, Assistant Professor of Household Art, were given by the instructors in Household Art, assisted by senior and graduate students of this division and five Red Cross volunteer instructors.
Two of these were clothing courses, one of which comprised the making of hospital garments and comfort bags in accordance with Red Cross specifications for civilian relief work. In these courses mature women intending to offer volunteer work were enrolled. The third was a Red Cross course in the Preparation of Surgical Dressings in which eighty-four students enrolled. Twenty-five of this number came from rural districts and small towns, seven
The fourth course offered suggestions for organization and administration of women's war work, housekeepers' institutes and the establishment of home industries in rural communities. Fifty women representing rural communities in several other states were enrolled.
During the fall term, August to December, 1917, members of the Textile class tested samples of wool submitted by the manufacturers to the Women's Bureau of the American Red Cross in San Francisco. Reports were sent to the chairman of the Women's Bureau as to the percentage of poor wool, and wool substitutes used, as well as to the spinning quality of the yarn.
In the spring term, January to May, 1918, a study of costs of raw materials was carried on by thirty-five students enrolled in House Management, each member of the class making a careful survey of the daily cost of food per person in homes or sorority houses, schools, state or county institutions throughout the bay district.
Ten seniors and graduate students in Household Art offered their practice teaching in Berkeley and Oakland schools, where the work consisted of making garments for civilian relief according to Red Cross specifications.
Department of Hygiene
The University of California Infirmary has shared its clinic and hospital facilities with the School of Military Aeronautics, offering every available assistance not only with its equipment but with its medical staff and nurses.
In the early part of the war, Dr. R. T. Legge, Professor of Hygiene and University Physician, with the assistance of Dr. A. M. Meads, Associate University Physician and Lecturer in Hygiene, and now Captain in the Medical Reserve Corps, conducted the physical examinations of some three hundred men for the First Officers' Reserve Training Camp at the Presidio.
Through this department, Ambulance Company, No. 2, U. S. A., now at Allentown, Pennsylvania, was organized from the student body of the University. This company later became a battalion by the addition of two other companies from eastern universities, but the official title of No. 2, known as the University of California Battalion, still remained. The officers, Major Alvin Powell and Captain A. M. Meads, are members of the Infirmary staff. Two other members of the staff have also joined the colors; Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Milton Schutz, Ophthalmologist in the Infirmary, is now in the United States Navy, and Lieutenant G. F. Stoodley, Dental Surgeon, is assigned to the School of Military Aeronautics. Since this report was written, Dr. Legge has been commissioned Captain in the Medical Reserve Corps and has been detailed for service at the School of Military Aeronautics located at the University. He is continuing to serve the University, however, as Professor of Hygiene and University Physician.
Three of the staff nurses, Miss Sarah W. Cheek, Miss Theresa Casenave, and Miss Thea Hauge, are Red Cross nurses in active service--one in France, the others in base hospitals in the United States.
The Department of Hygiene has provided instructors in the Red Cross courses and has trained several hundred men and women in First Aid and Home Care of the Sick. These
The Infirmary staff made all the physical examinations for men entering the 1917 Summer School Military Camp, conducted by Major, now Lieutenant-Colonel Nance; also for men entering two naval courses, given under the auspices of the University, besides examining recruits for various training camps, ordnance courses and a women's land company.
The Infirmary staff has rendered valuable services in immunizing men and women who have entered the Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, and other agencies, against smallpox and typhoid.
Four members of the department are members of the executive committee of the local chapter of the American Red Cross and have materially aided in the work of the Berkeley chapter.
Dr. Legge is Director of First Aid under the Bureau of Military Relief of the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross and has organized and promoted instruction in First Aid and Safety in Industry. The object of this work is to change the attitude of the public towards accidents,
Another activity interesting the Department of Hygiene, and to which the administrative head has given considerable attention, is the development of a course of Occupational and Vocational Training for the Rehabilitation of Crippled Soldiers and Sailors. It is expected that the authorities at Washington will recognize not only the central location of the University of California, but its available resources to carry on successfully this important work.
Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
The shops of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering have become veritable war laboratories. The installation of a new steam turbine and a steam boiler of small capacity, the addition of three steam engines of representative type, as well as internal combustion engines of the marine, stationary and automobile types for experimental work in the Steam and Power Laboratory have served effectively to meet the demands of the hour. Plans for the coming year include the addition of a chair in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture, also new courses in Automobile Engineering and Aeronautics, both closely allied to the present need for training in military engineering.
C. L. Cory, John W. Mackay, Jr. Professor of Electrical Engineering, Consulting Electric Light and Heating Engineer, and Dean of the College of Mechanics, is Assistant Director of the Division of Electrical Power Supply at the United States Government Explosive Plants.

Department of Surgery
At the suggestion of the Surgeon-General of the Army, Dr. T. W. Huntington, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Surgery, made arrangements whereby selected groups of medical officers from the United States Army would be instructed for a period of one month in the surgical treatment of fractures, wounds and shock. On March 12, 1918, the first class of twelve Medical Reserve officers, followed by a second group on April 16, received instruction from
The Department of Surgery began the organization of Base Hospital Unit, No. 30, and gave intensive instruction to a considerable number of the enlisted personnel.
The following doctors have gone forth from the department for immediate government service:
Alanson Weeks, Instructor in Surgery; W. I. Baldwin, Instructor in Orthopedic Surgery; H. C. Naffziger, Instructor in Surgery; F. C. Lewitt, Instructor in Laryngology, Otology and Rhinology; H. S.

Gibson, Voluntary Assistant in Surgery; Hudson Smythe, Assistant in Urology; C. A. Wills, Voluntary Assistant in Surgery.
Department of Pathology
The Department of Pathology is taking an active part in the instruction of Medical Reserve Corps officers, largely under the direction of Dr. G. Y. Rusk, Associate Professor of Pathology. These officers receive demonstrations in gross pathological anatomy, special emphasis being laid on the clinical-pathological correlation in autopsy technic, when opportunity offers, and in surgical pathology. It is also planning a series of investigations in the pathology of anaerobic infections, a better knowledge of which is now necessary for field surgery.
Department of Orthopedic Surgery
The Department of Orthopedic Surgery has given instruction in the handling of plaster, making of bandages, application of casts, etc. It has sent two doctors to the British War Hospital at Edinburgh, and has supplied its quota to Base Hospital Unit, No. 30. Dr. H. H. Markel, Assistant in Orthopedic Surgery, has examined several seamen from the Navy Yard.
Department of Pediatrics
The Department of Pediatrics has contributed the following men for the service: Dr. W. P. Lucas, Professor of Pediatrics, one of the organizers of the Medical and Social Service Work and Civilian Relief in France; Dr. H. K. Berkley, Assistant in Pediatrics, Army Medical Corps; Dr. Linton Gerdine, Assistant in Pediatrics, Navy; Dr. C. F. Gelston, Assistant in Pediatrics, aiding Dr. Lucas in France.
Department of Pathology and Bacteriology
The war work of the Department of Pathology and Bacteriology began, with the appointment of F. P. Gay, Professor of Pathology as a member of the Medical Section of the National Research Council and the California State Council of Defense, early in 1917. This was soon followed by an appointment as consulting expert under the American Red Cross for advice in medical problems arising in naval training stations. The first call in this line of duty came in June, 1917, from the Station on Yerba Buena Island, where a number of cases of cerebro-spinal meningitis had occurred among recruits. Professor Gay, being absent on vacation, delegated Ivan C. Hall, Assistant Professor of Bacteriology, to act in his stead. The latter coöperated with Surgeon P. S. Rossiter, U. S. N., Senior Medical Officer, and Assistant Surgeon A. J. Minaker in the establishment of a bacteriological laboratory and the
The preparation of the above mentioned extract led to an investigation by Miss Dolores E. Bradley, Assistant in Bacteriology, and Professor Hall of the question of suitable methods for the maintenance of meningococcus cultures, these organisms along with certain other highly parasitic bacteria having been found to require meticulous care in their repeated propagation under artificial conditions. Miss Bradley's work has resulted in a method of culture of meningococci which tremendously simplifies the problem of maintenance and transportation of these organisms for experimental and diagnostic purposes and in the manufacture of antimeningitis serum. Her article will appear over her name in the Journal of the American Medical Association, having been accepted under the title “Simple Methods for Prolonging the Viability of Meningococcus Cultures.”
During the autumn of 1917 Professor Gay was appointed alternate director of the Metchnikoff, one of the four Pullman cars specially equipped by the American Red Cross for bacteriological laboratory purposes to be used in conection with outbreaks of infectious diseases in the national cantonments. A volunteer scientific staff was recruited, among whom were Professor Hall and Dr. C. L. A. Schmidt, Research Assistant in Pathology, in addition
Certain investigations being conducted within the department have a definite bearing on problems of war, e.g., the preparation of taurin, its fate on injection, and use in the therapy of tuberculosis; these are being made by Dr. Schmidt and Mr. Thomas Watson under grants from the State Council of Defense and the George Williams Hooper Foundation for Medical Research. Dr. Schmidt has also engaged in investigations of certain anesthetics. Miss Ruth Stone, Edith Claypole Research Assistant in Pathology, has continued a study of the typhoid carrier condition, has aided Dr. Schmidt in the study of tuberculosis, and has made some preliminary studies on the lytic action of certain bile salts on pneumococci. Professor Hall in collaboration with Mrs. L. J. Ellefson and other research students has continued and completed certain phases of study in connection with the group of anaerobic bacteria which are so prominent in the causation of gaseous gangrene, the most pressing bacteriological problem of the war. In the same group of organisms is found the most dangerous cause of food poisoning, Bacillus botulinus; several instances have been investigated during the past year. It happens also that similar organisms introduce a factor of considerable error in the sanitary examination of drinking water and milk; a method has been devised obviating approximately 90 per cent of the errors due to this cause, publication of which is promised in the July number of the Journal of Bacteriology under the title “The Elimination of Spurious Presumptive Tests for B. Coli in Water by the Use of Gentian Violet,” and “A Brief Note on the Use of Gentian Violet in Presumptive Tests for B. Coli in Milk with Reference to Sporulating Anaerobes.” There
Department of Ophthalmology
The Department of Ophthalmology has examined the eyes of fifteen hundred applicants for the Aviation Corps, and has given considerable instruction to oculists who had entered the Red Cross units and branches of the Medical Reserve Corps.
Department of Neurology
The Department of Neurology has contributed 100 per cent of its staff to war work. Dr. R. L. Richards, Lecturer in Psychiatry, Dr. C. L. Tranter, Assistant in Neurology, and Dr. H. W. Wright, Assistant in Neurology, are all in service. Dr. Eva C. Reid, Assistant in Psychiatry, is abroad with the Women's Red Cross; Dr. V. H. Podstata, Lecturer in Psychiatry, has received a commission; and Dr. R. W. Harvey, Instructor in Neurology, and Dr. M. B. Lennon, Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology, have served on advisory boards as medical examiners.
Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology
The Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology has been chiefly engaged in the study of the properties and actions of Tethelin, the growth-controlling substance from the anterior lobe of the pituitary body which has been shown to stimulate the healing of otherwise slowly healing wounds. This substance was the important discovery of Dr. T. Brailsford Robertson, Professor of Biochemistry. The substance having only recently been discovered, many features of its action are still obscure, and these are being worked out as rapidly as means and facilities permit. The experiments on the various aspects of the growth of animals are very laborious, as may be judged from the fact that
In collaboration with Dr. E. L. Barney of the Department of Surgery a series of experiments upon the action of Tethelin on chronic ulcers has been carried out with striking success. Ulcers of from two months to eleven years standing, previously treated without success by a variety of methods, were in every case cured by treatment with Tethelin. The maximum number of applications required, in a case of eleven years standing, was twenty.
The University of California having leased its patent rights in Tethelin to the H. K. Mulford Company of Philadelphia, the problem of practical manufacture has been taken up by them in collaboration with this department. A series of practical difficulties have been successfully solved and the large scale production of Tethelin is now well under way, so that it will soon be available for general medical and surgical use.
Another phase of research having strong bearing upon the war has been the thorough investigation by Dr. E. S. Sundstroem during the past three years, of the effects of high altitude upon metabolism. He has complied a monograph upon this subject from the results of very numerous and laborious analyses. These results which will shortly be published have a strong bearing on the question of aviation sickness. He has reached the conclusion, which would seem to be adequately supported by his results, that
Department of Physiology
The most important war service of the Department of Physiology has been its regular work in the teaching of medical students, a number of whom after being drafted have been sent back by the military authorities to complete their medical education. Other work in instruction of the department is a necessary part of the education of nurses and of persons preparing for public health service.
In the latter part of April, Assistant Professor T. C. Burnett went to Camp Kearney to act as Associate Field Director in the American Red Cross. He has devoted the long summer vacation to this work.
The research work of the department all has more or less direct bearing on medical progress. Associate Professor S. S. Maxwell has been engaged in a study of the effect of certain drugs on the central nervous system. He has also made progress on a mechanical device for the rapid calculation of the proportion of the various food principles in dietaries and inidvidual ration allowances.
Assistant Professor Burnett has attempted the application of an internal lavage of wounds by the production of an increased lymph flow. Instructor Lillian M. Moore has studied intensively the effect on body temperature of certain brain injuries; two parts of this work are completed and will appear in the June number of the American Journal of Physiology. Assistant J. A. Larson has been engaged on the study of the effect of extracts of the endocrine glands on the growth of tissue.
Dr. E. S. May has made encouraging progress in the study of the pathway of temperature impulses in the spinal cord, a matter of great importance in diagnosis of results of certain sorts of wounds.
Los Angeles Medical Department
The Los Angeles Medical Department of the University became engaged in aviation examination work at the beginning of the war, and word has just been received from the War Department that it is desired again to start this work in Los Angeles for the entire Pacific southwest. The Los Angeles Medical Department has loaned a large portion of its hospital building to the Medical Examining Board of the Los Angeles District. The department has in contemplation a plan whereby graduate instruction may be given to medical officers in the near-by camps and cantonments, and also to such other physicians as are entering the service and likely to be called upon by the government to do a certain amount of hospital work.
Hooper Foundation for Medical Research
The Hooper Foundation offered a course in laboratory training, open to women, during the summer session of 1918, the object being to prepare individuals for technical positions in the base hospitals. There is urgent need for such technicians.
Each month a group of army officers is detailed to the school for intensive training. This work takes considerable time, but the teachers in charge have faithfully discharged all their other duties in addition to this new branch of service.
Dr. K. F. Meyer, Associate Professor of Tropical Medicine, applied himself to studying typhoid carriers, the epidemiology of dysentery infections on the Pacific Coast, types of pneumococci and streptococci found in cases of pneumonia, spore-bearing anaerobes responsible for gas
Dr. Alice Rohdé, Assistant Professor of Research Medicine, has been engaged in an experimental study of Dakin's Solution with particular reference to its action on ferment and autolysis of various tissues.
Dr. E. L. Walker, Associate Professor of Tropical Medicine, has investigated the treatment of carriers of andamoebic dysentery, and the chemotherapy of infectious diseases due to the acid-fast bacilli, with special reference to tuberculosis. He has also investigated the obscure etiology of certain infectious diseases--leishmaniasis, myositis, purulenta tropica, granuloma inguinale, etc., with material collected in South America.
Although Dr. C. W. Hooper, Assistant Professor of Research Medicine, has been called to the Hygienic Laboratory in Washington, Mrs. F. W. Robscheit, Fellow in the Hooper Research Laboratory, and Dr. G. H. Whipple, Professor of Research Medicine and Director of the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research, are continuing the work of studying pigment metabolism and anemia. Dr. Whipple, assisted by Messrs. Davis, Foster and McQuarrie, is investigating the peculiar condition of shock which develops in animals, caused by dilution of the blood plasma effected by plasmapharesis. The exchange of fluid between the blood and tissue has a definite bearing on clinical shock.
Department of Mining and Metallurgy
The facilities of the College of Mining, its teaching staff and several of the students have been employed in work thought to be of importance at this time. Supplementing these activities, experiments of value in devising ways and means of increasing the production of metals, the demand for which has been created by the war, have been greatly encouraged.
An exhaustive study has been made of the possibilities of concentrating, beneficiating and rendering available the low grade, manganese ores of California, particularly for use in the manufacture of ferroalloys. A very comprehensive and exhaustive report was prepared by E. A. Hersam, Associate Professor of Metallurgy, and published in the University of California Press, March 26, 1918 (Engineering ser., vol. 2, pp. 1-56). The great demand for copies of this work has led to its wide circulation throughout the state.
The treatment of antimony ores with particular reference to the temperature conditions of roasting was studied by G. McM. Ross, under direction of the department. The results of this work are now being utilized and are available for public information.
In coöperation with the California State Mining Bureau, a complete study of the possibilities of concentrating quicksilver ores has been undertaken, the results of which were made the subject matter of a thesis presented by W. W. Bradley for the degree of mining engineer in the University. A report will be issued by the California State Mining Bureau reviewing the metallurgical treatment of quicksilver ores, and embodying the results of his researches.
V. S. Chow, under the guidance of the department, investigated the conditions prevailing in the distillation and condensation of cinnabar ore. His conclusions are offered for the master's degree in metallurgy.
The electrical equipment for electrofusion experimentation has been completed and certain initial work in electrometallurgy has been carried on. This will be continued in the studies of ferroalloys.
An extended series of experiments to determine limitations in the oil flotation of manganese ores has been conducted by A. M. Sperry, a senior in the College of Mining.
In the hope of finding an economical and commercial method of concentrating chromite-bearing sands of the western coast, many elaborate experiments were conducted by E. V. Daveler and H. I. Altshuler. The results, while not immediately practical, are nevertheless sufficiently encouraging to justify continued investigation.
Dr. S. Trood and H. B. Hyder have, under the direction of W. S. Morley, Assistant Professor of Metallurgy, experimented on the possibilities of the direct reduction of iron, manganese and other ores; the information thus obtained led to the building of a test plant at Herroult, California. This type of work is vital to the solution of many problems in the economy of iron production in the West.
Mr. John Bouse, under the direction of Professor Hersam, conducted some large scale experiments to determine the possibilities of recovering and refining copper from waste metal such as brass, bronze and foundry sweepings, by hydroelectrolytic treatment. The result, thus far, has thrown light on the great problem of preventing waste of valuable metal and adding to the nation's supply of refined materials.
Charles A. Hyder has critically investigated the possibility of the manufacture of ferromagnesite used in the steel industry, hoping to be able to make an acceptable substitute for the magnesite heretofore imported from Austria.
Professor Morley has made a number of metallographic investigations on the steel parts used in airplane motors for the Hall-Scott Motor Company, and has also conducted
L. C. Uren, Assistant Professor of Mining, made some preliminary investigations of the blanketing action of certain froths in preventing evaporation losses of oils. He also delivered a course of eight lectures on the Mechanical Handling of Industrial Materials in the Ordnance Storekeepers' School on the Campus. He devoted four hours a week to the University of California Military Bureau as assistant manager. As assistant to the Fuel Oil Administrator of California, Professor Uren has undertaken special investigative work in the California oil fields. Professor Uren has been commissioned Captain in the Chemical Warfare Service and has been sent overseas.
The Berkeley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, under the direction of Dr. L. H. Duschak, has devoted its energies during the last year exclusively to the investigation of problems bearing directly on the production of war minerals. A few advanced students of the College of Mining have collaborated in this work.
Department of Paleontology
J. C. Merriam, Professor of Palaeontology and Historic Geology, has been made chairman of the scientific branch of the State and National Council of Defense and is now in Washington, D. C., engaged in work of a highly important character for the National Council of Defense.
Chester Stock, Research Assistant in Palaeontology, is a member of the Pacific Coast Research Conference.
Mussel Survey
The chief work of the Department of Palaeontology has been its survey of mussels in California as embodied in its report to the Zoological Committee of the State Council of Defense.
The mussel survey of the coast of California was begun by C. A. Kofoid, Professor of Zoology. The general purpose was to encourage, so far as possible, the use of mussels as food, the object being to increase both the supply and the demand. In order to increase the supply, it was planned to induce the canneries along the coast to pack mussels. As a direct aid to the canneries, it was proposed to make a survey of the coast to determine where the shellfish could be found in abundance, and also to determine as far as possible the tonnage which the canneries might expect to collect at different localities.
Professor Kofoid began his work early in the summer of 1917. The publicity part of the work was delayed, however, due to the occurrence during the summer of several cases of mussel poisoning, raising the question as to whether it was safe to encourage further the use of mussels at this time.
The Bureau of Fisheries detailed two men, E. P. Rankin, Biologist of the ship “Albatross,” and H. L. Kelly, Statistician, to work under Professor Kofoid's direction. Professor Kofoid also asked Bruce L. Clark, Instructor in
A large part of Professor Kofoid's attention was given to the study of the mussel-poisoning problem, and a series of tests on guinea pigs was made in coöperation with the State Board of Health. The final conclusions were that mussel poisoning is not apt to occur provided the shellfish are collected in the proper places and at the right time of the year and that if the proper precautions are taken in collecting the mussels, they are a good substitute for fish and meats.
When Professor Kofoid entered the Sanitary Corps of the United States Army he asked Dr. Clark to continue the work of the survey, as chairman of the subcommittee. It was agreed that Mr. Rankin should be a member of the committee and that the two, with further coöperation from Mr. Kelley, should continue the work.
The main purpose of the survey of the distribution and abundance of the mussel, Mytilus californicus, along the coast of California is to determine its possible commercial utilization as a food product. It is proposed, in carrying on this investigation, to visit all the important localities along the coast where the mussel is found in any great abundance. The preliminary report on the distribution of Mytilus californicus in California by Dr. Harold Heath et al. to the California Fish and Game Commission is being used as a guide to the most important localities. At every locality where mussels are present in sufficient quantity, an estimate is to be made of the tonnage. This will be done
An estimate of the amount of meat per ton of the unshucked mussels is being made. This will be checked against canners' experience.
Notes are being taken as to the conditions under which the shellfish will have to be gathered at the various localities, and also as to the accessibility of the different localities to the market or canneries. The question of the rate of growth of the individuals has been studied in order to ascertain the proper lapse of time between successive collecting periods.
Those making the survey are securing all available information concerning the different cases of mussel poisoning, and also all possible data concerning the enemies of the mussels, and the parasitic diseases with which they may be infected.
A study is being made as to the size at which the mussel is most edible, and in this connection all data on the food value of the shellfish and methods of preparing it for the table are being collected.
Data as to period of spawning and the sexual characters of the species are being brought together, while suggestions will be sought as to methods of collecting, marketing and canning.
A campaign has been begun to acquaint the public with the possibilities of the mussel as a food. A series of articles on the mussel, its value as a food, etc., is being sent to about six hundred newspapers throughout the state. M. E. Jaffa, Professor of Nutrition, has consented to write a University bulletin, and has also prepared popular articles for newspapers on the food value of the mussel. Miss Jessica Hazzard, of the Los Angeles State Normal School, is bringing together all known recipes for cooking mussels, and is experimenting to discover new ways of preparing this food.
Mr. Rankin has written to all the canneries along the California coast to find out whether they are willing to commence canning mussels. A number of replies have been received, and in every case the answer has been that if the canneries could be assured a market for the product they would be very glad to can them.
Further investigations of the cause of mussel poisoning have been conducted. While it is believed, with Professor Kofoid, that mussel poisoning is not a serious danger provided the necessary precautions are taken in collecting, yet it seemed best to have more positive evidence to present to the public as to the causes. With this in mind, arrangements were made with the State Board of Health to continue the experiments on guinea pigs. It is proposed to subject the live mussels to different degrees of heat for different lengths of time, after they have been taken out of the water, in order to ascertain whether or not the poisoning is really due to heat and exposure. Dr. T. B. Robertson, former Professor of Biochemistry of the University, has written a statement as to the possible character of the poisoning. A circular letter has been sent to all the physicians connected with the State Board of Health, asking for information concerning mussel poisoning.
California College of Pharmacy
The College of Pharmacy has responded promptly to every government call for pharmacists, with the result that ninety-one graduates and students are in the military service of the country. A gold star, representing J. M. Simmons, class of '14, marks the service flag. A course in Military Hygiene and First Aid has been of material assistance to the military authorities about the bay counties.
Dr. H. M. Simmons, Associate Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, and Lecturer on Toxicology, and Dr. H. B. Carey, Professor of Botany, Materia Medica and Physiology, and Instructor in Anatomy, Histology, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, are serving the exemption boards in their districts.
Department of Physics
The shop of the Department of Physics has been used for the construction of special apparatus and for repair work for the School of Military Aeronautics, for the Signal Corps under the direction of Captain G. M. Stratton, Professor of Psychology, and for the Shipping Board under the direction of E. E. Hall, Associate Professor of Physics.
L. T. Jones, Instructor in Physics, is First Lieutenant in the Aviation Corps; W. P. Roop, Instructor in Physics, is Lieutenant in the Naval Reserve; Grandison Garner, Assistant in Physics, is Second Lieutenant in the Army; C. E. Pierce, Assistant in Physics, is in Company B, California Engineers; H. O. Russell, Assistant in Physics, is in the Aviation Corps; L. A. Welo, Assistant in Physics, has been detailed to the Forest Testing Laboratory, C. H. Kunsman, Whitney Fellow in Physics, is civilian instructor in the School of Military Aeronautics; H. H.

E. P. Lewis, Professor of Physics, has served in a confidential capacity for the National Research Council. He is chairman of the Physics Committee and a member of the Committee on Engineering and Invention of the Conference Committee of the State Council of Defense.
Professor Hall has carried out certain tests in connection with the research work of the United States Shipping Board.
Department of Physical Education
Under normal conditions the activities of the Department of Physical Education for Men are largely of such a nature that they may be classed legitimately as military training. It is the aim of the department to maintain and improve the health of all male students, and to develop in them those mental, moral and physical traits imperative to success in military life. The method of procedure followed by the department during the past three years is cited by the office of the United States Commissioner of Education in his recommendations to the National Council of Defense as typical of the method of physical education to be followed throughout the colleges of the country as an aid in military training.
The chief war work of a specific nature in which the department has been engaged is that of organizing and conducting the athletics of the School of Military Aeronautics.
This department has also given special instruction to the University of California cadet officers for the purpose of fitting them to drill men in the official army calisthenics as set forth by Major Koehler of West Point; it has likewise trained the prospective naval officers enrolled in the naval preparation course at the University in the official Navy calisthenics. These differ decidedly from those of the Army.
In the organization of teachers' training courses for both the fall and summer session, this department has been making special efforts to meet the overwhelming demand for competent teachers in this field. It is also expecting to lend assistance to the Medical School in the development of its prospective plan for the training of reconstruction aides.
Classes have been organized to accommodate faculty men, several of whom have undertaken the work to fit themselves for military service.
Special corrective gymnastics have been conducted for the correction of flat-foot and kindred ailments barring men from the military service. A bulletin on foot hygiene and the correction of flat-foot was compiled for publication by the Military Bureau. This bulletin has been in great demand and has been highly appreciated by various military authorities.
The members of the department are publishing, through the American Physical Education Review, a Manual on War Sports, for use in high schools and army camps. The department has been asked by the Berkeley Board of Education to make a survey of the Berkeley schools and to recommend proper equipment and methods to meet the double demand of military and physical training.
F. W. Cozens, Instructor in Physical Education, is Instructor in Calisthenics in the School of Military Aeronautics.
The Department of Physical Education for Women is represented on the honor roll by Miss Maude Cleveland, Director of Women's Gymnasium and Assistant Professor of Physical Education, who is serving the government in France.
Scripps Institution for Biological Research
Kelp Industry
The function of the Institution in the kelp industry is to supply the State Fish and Game Commission information and advice based on scientific inquiry, as to when the different kelp beds shall be declared open and when closed, i.e., when they may and when they may not be harvested, the Commission being empowered by law to make and enforce the regulations.
The requisite information is obtained by general and special inquiry. “General inquiry” consists in rather frequent general examinations of the beds to ascertain the state of growth, areal abundance, health, etc., of the plants. “Special inquiry” consists in botanical studies on the plants, such problems as their sporulation, embryogeny, bacterial infection, etc., being involved.
The work is in the immediate charge of Mr. W. C. Crandall, Business Agent of Scripps Institution. The botanical investigations are being conducted by Dr. R. P. Brandt.
The somewhat elaborate scheme of dividing the entire kelp area into numbered units and securing a “gentleman's agreement” among the harvesting companies as to who shall cut in different places, is largely due to Mr. Crandall. Funds for prosecuting this work are derived from a state imposed tonnage tax on the wet kelp harvested, the proceeds being allotted jointly to the State Game and Fish Commission and the Scripps Institution.
Fishing Industry
Work of the Institution relative to the fishing industry is of several kinds and may be classified according to the agencies by which they are carried on.
1. The Institution in coöperation with the United States Bureau of Fisheries.
During and for some time after the fishing season of 1917, experimental fishing was carried on for the purpose of ascertaining more definitely than the industrial fishing has determined, the area over which tuna, the long finned albacore, may be obtained; where these fishes go when they leave the fishing area in the fall, and other matters involving the distribution and life habits of the fish. The aim of this work was to get information which would enable the fishermen to ply their vocation more effectively and to increase the output.
Also in connection with the Bureau of Fisheries, a report, as exhaustive as possible, is being prepared on the relation of the fishing done in waters under the jurisdiction of the United States and those of Mexican jurisdiction and influence. The aim of this study is to ascertain the relative amounts of fish taken under the two jurisdictions and from the high seas; conditions as to concessions for fishing in Mexican waters, and as to fees and other charges exacted by the Mexican government and Mexicans; and other matters affecting the industry and international questions involved therein.
The Bureau of Fisheries furnishes the money expended directly on these inquiries, the Institution contributing certain facilities, and some labor of its scientific staff and workmen. The scientific director of the Institution has been appointed Director of Operations by the Bureau for its work in this region and Mr. W. C. Crandall, its special agent for certain purposes.
2. The Institution in coöperation with the Bureau of Chemistry and the Federal Food Administration.
The work here consists of experimentation on methods of preserving fish other than canning. Smoking, kippering, dry-salting and brine-salting are being tried, and various species of fish are being utilized, special attention being given to sardines too large for canning.
The Bureau of Chemistry has assigned an expert, Mr. Horace Davi, to this work; the Institution providing
3. In coöperation with the Council of Defense of California.
The problem undertaken in this connection was that of bringing the Institution's programme of research on the plankton as the fundamental food supply of commercial fishes, and on the hydrography of the fishing area as part of the environment of the fishes, into the service of the fishing industry. The aim here has been twofold: the possible increase of productiveness of the industry, and the furnishing of information on which to base regulative and protective measures for the fishing industry. The funds supplied by the Council of Defense for this work during the last year will not be continued next year, but the Institution plans to keep up the investigation in part, at least, on its own account.
4. Mr. Crandall is serving as Fish Administrator for Southern California under the National Food Administration. This responsible position absorbs the major part of Mr. Crandall's time.

Student Participation in War Activities
The National Service Committee, an organization consisting of seven students appointed by the President of the Associated Students of the University of California, raised $40,000 on the campus, this to be divided among the various war and civilian charities. During the Second Liberty Loan campaign, bonds to the extent of $73,000 were sold. During the next campaign, the committee disposed of approximately $60,000 worth of bonds.
The University of California Auxiliary to the Berkeley Chapter of the American Red Cross maintains work rooms in Hearst Hall which are open every afternoon. During the year 1917-1918 the women of the University completed more than 15,000 surgical dressings, 700 hospital garments, 2000 knitted articles, 425 Christmas packages, 200 pounds of trench candles, and have equipped and sent out four emergency kits.
More than two thousand dollars' worth of thrift stamps have been sold, thousands of copies of the Daily Californian have been sent to the University's soldiers in France, and the Red Cross has been aided from time to time by donations of clothes, shoes, and money from the sale of paper.
