The winning of the great Government suit marks the fifth year, which brought certainty and hope where there had been uncertainty and doubt, but no immediate increase in revenues. The history of the sixth year is still in the making. Mrs. Stanford has deeded to the University her San Francisco home, and the Legis- lature has turned us one cold shoulder. And all important events are duly chronicled in the succeeding pages of the Quad. The statistics given below summarize the University ' s history in several particulars. Number of Students.

Oliver Peebles Jenkins Ph D. OLIVER PEEBLES JENKINS, Professor of Physiology and Histology, was born in Bantam, Ohio, November 3, 1850. He was granted the degree of A.M. at Moores Hill College in 1872. At Indiana University, in 1889, he took the degree of Ph.D. From 1870-76 he was engaged teaching in public schools in Indiana, California and Wisconsin. He was Professor of Natural Science in Moores Hill College from 1876 to 1882, and held a similar position in Indiana University from 1883 to 1886. From 1886 to 1891 he was Professor of Biolog} ' at De Pauw University. Dr. Jenkins is widely experienced, both from his varied career as an instructor and from results of private zoological expeditions and experience in Government zoological expeditions. Since 1885 he has .served on the U. S. Fish Commission, which has commanded his attention to the greater part of the South and West. The productions of his pen are by no means few. Many articles of great interest to scientists, written by him, have appeared in the John Hopkins Circulars and in the publications of the California Academy of Sciences. To him is the credit due for the series of text-books on physiology of the Indiana State series, which were edited by him. Dr. Jenkins is earnest, energetic and enterprising. While he was an instructor at the small Moores Hill College, through his enterprise a zoological expedition was organized to go to the Sandwich Islands. The final success of this undertaking was due entirely to his unrelenting energy. He is an able instructor, clearly imparting his knowledge to his students in lectures which are often supplemented by his own rare wit, and in the laboratory, where the work he assigns practically demon- strates his lectures. His amiable character and great ability have won for him the admiration of all students, and respect and reverence in educational circles of California. FRANK V. KEESLING. 14
