A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION The school year 1932-33 has been marked by a decided change in the organization of the California Polytechnic. All academic work, both high school and junior college, which could be used for college credit had been eliminated. A type of institution familiar in the east and demonstrated by such schools as IVentworth, Drexel, and Dun- woody, was established. From left to right in the administrative group are, C. O. Mc- Corkle, director of agriculture; J. II. Perozzi, superintendent of heat, light, power and water; the President; C. li. Knott, director of industry; and L. F. McFarland, superintendent of farm, buildings and grounds. Nine years spent as president of the California Polytechnic have on the whole been years of most delightful associations and great sat- isfaction. The growth and development of the physical plant and the increase in enrollment to over 400 were due to the splendid co- operation of the state office and our co-workers to whom we give full credit. Naturally it is with regret that the vision of a great technical institute on the Pacific coast must be abandoned; however, I wish to extend the best of good wishes to the head of the agriculture depart- ment, trusting that he may build wisely and successfully on the foundation already laid. Ben R. Crandall, Pres.

FACULTY AND OFFICE FORCE California Polytechnic is most fortunate in having such a cosmopoli- tan family. In the true sense of the word they are at home in any part of this world of life. They have come, to the positions which they now occupy in this institution, well-qualified both educationally and personally. Com- bine the highest standard of proficiency in any educational or vocational line with the innate ability to instruct in such, and you will have a general characterization of the members of the faculty of this school. Not only have these people served in the capacity of teachers, but also as sympathetic consuls, ready to listen to and to advise on individual or col- lective student problems. All campus enterprises throughout the year have been backed up by the members of the faculty, and their spirit of whole- hearted cooperation has won for them the highest respect of the students. Poly’s faculty members are indeed exceptional. Competency, under- standing. native ability, and cooperation, combine to make them, in student estimation, ideal for the positions which they now occupy.
