THE YEARBOOK OF THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
”

“
THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY HAS NOW ACHIEVED IN THE WORLD A POSITION OF WIDE RESPECT. THE development as an institution of research and technical education was started by DR. GEORGE ELLERY HALE, and its present achievements are the fulfillment of his dreams and efforts and were made possible by the generosity of ARTHUR H. FLEMING. MR. FLEMING, a lumberman, had come to California to make his home and had become interested in Throop College. He was Canadian born, had moved to Detroit and studied law, but turned to the West, where he made his fortune from lumber. And when, in the course of building Cal Tech, it became evident that it was handicapped by the lack of funds, MR. FLEMING gave to the school his entire fortune of over five imillion dollars, asking nothing save that he receive a yearly income. He has continued to serve as a trustee and was this year by the Board of Trustees voted the honor of Presi- dent Emeritus of the Institute. The administration of the Institute is headed by DR. ROBERT MILLIKAN, president of the Executive Council, which is unique among administra- tive bodies, being composed of men each one of whom has gained promi- nence in his field and two of whom are recipients of Nobel Prizes. Also of interest is the calling by PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT for members of the Ad- visory Council and for DR. MILLIKAN to serve upon a scientific advisory committee for the new administra- tion. A project of lasting importance directed by the Institute is the com- mencement of work in the Optics Building preparatory to grinding the ZOO-inch telescope, which is being constructed in co-operation with the National Council for Advancement of Education. Quite removed from the labora- tories have been the two series of lectures which the administration has sponsored this year. Presenting phases of the relation of modern scientific advances to present day life and to current economic conditions, from the Athenaeum a series of addresses were nationally broadcast. The other series was given at El Rodeo High School to raise funds for scholarships. 11 ADMINISTRA- TION Arthur H . Fleming, Presidem-Emeritus
