Known the world over as a great scholar and a lecturer who knows the magnificent value of words is MONROE E. DEUTSCH, Vice-Presi- dent and Provost of the Berkeley campus. THIS University, like the other institutions in this country, has been facing this year a situation unprecedented in the history of American higher education, and indeed of the whole world. We have all been flooded with students, primarily G.I. ' s. In addition, however, the various countries of Europe and Asia, whose uni- versities have suffered so grievously in the war, have in larger num- ber than ever before, sent students to us. And we have been glad to welcome them because their presence is the best means for build- ing the international world for which mankind has been yearning. We have had many problems, there have been difficulties of all kinds encountered, but the cheerfulness and good humor with which the University and community have met them has been in- spiring. It means, however, that American universities have this year had the greatest opportunity in their history and we are hope- ful that the fruits of the work of this year and succeeding years will mean much in the life of the American people. HURFORD E. STONE is one of the busiest of the University ' s administrators. Dean of students is a full-time job in itself, but Dean Stone also acts as the president ' s representative at Ex Com- mittee meetings. 22

BOARD OF REGENTS A LIBRARY annex and a ?chool of jurisprudence building are among the fifty-five permanent building? planned by the regent;- of the I ' nherr-ity of California. Appropriations of $60.000.000 for these buildings explain the newly con- strut-ted chemistry building. The eight campuses of the I ni ei ity are governed by these regents, twenty-four men who determine the policies and actions of all University branches. Last year the regents received 84.000,000 to be matched by other sources and to be used for housing on the Berkeley. Los Angeles. Santa Barbara, and Davis campuses. ( oii truction on the women ' s dormitories was finished. The policy of the I niversity had formerly been to let private in- tli idual take care of the housing of L niversity students, but the increased enrollment altered this policy. The regents are meeting the demands of a growing university. EARL WARREN, honored as California ' s most outstanding alumnus in 1946, took great interest in the University, although his time was well take up at s-.i-.e ; BOARD OF REGENTS Edward H.
