Re-gents Meet in EsUeauo Library A REVIEW of the Regents ' work for the year is a review of the work of the university, for they are, in the last analysis, invested with the responsibility for its progress and success. Through the wisdom and continuing pol- icy of the Regents, the University of Califor- nia has attained the distinction of being one of the best, if not the best, as well as the larg- est institution of higher learning in the United States. When the University of California was established in 1868, the organic act of the state which provides for its organization in- vested the government of the institution in the Regents. Sixteen of these are appointive; eight hold their positions by virtue of other offices to which they have been appointed or elected. The authors of the act that created the University of California provided that the sixteen appointive regents each hold of- fice for a term of sixteen years, with the re- sult that the character of the board cannot be greatly altered during the tenure in office of any one governor. The eight ex-officio members of the board bring to its deliberations much of the point of view of the offices they represent. The T JLHE REGENTS Governor of California is president of the board; the Lieu tenant-Governor is anex- officio member; the Speaker of the Assembly also is ac- corded a seat on the board by law. Others who are members of the board by virtue of their official positions are Veirling Kersey, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; A. B. Miller, President of the State Board of Agriculture; Joseph N. Gumming, President of the Mechanics Institute; Pres- ton Hotchkis, President of the California Alumni Association; and President Robert G. Sproul of the University of California. The Regents attend not only to financial matters, the administering of business af- fairs, investing funds left to the institution, and arranging for fiscal affairs of the univer- sity, but as well they establish its educational policies. This is done, not from the point of view of one section of the state, but in the realization that the university is the Univer- sity of California. The American Council on Education last year showed the University of California to have more adequate and distin- guished departments of instruction than any other in the country. The Regents of the University of Califor- nia serve without compensation for the time they devote to the interests of higher educa- tion; they attend meetings wherever they may be held at their own expense. Following the crash in 1929 and the depreciation of values, the University of California was found to be one of those which suffered least from the financial debacle.
