Blue and Gold 19O4 [10 THeodore Roosevelt The latter-day type of the American university man is shaping itself on the modern demand for trained men who can take a hand in affairs, who can do things. The drift of the times is away from amateurism toward expert service, and away from the theories of the doctrinaire toward the capacity for correct and effective action. Educational development tends in the direction of learning by doing. The methods of the laboratory and the seminary are eating their way into the curriculum of the university. Life has come to have a real use for university men and is formulating some real demands. It wants men trained in real work. It wants engineers who can install and build, gardeners who can plant and bud, lawyers who can write briefs and try cases, historians who can help make history, literary men who can write, students of political science who can themselves draft legislation or run a caucus quite as well as find fault with the way someone else does it. The world has a right to expect that a university man should have ideals and shape his action on them, and it does expect it. It is a poor education that does not lift a man out of the moulds of the conventional and the sordid and show him somewhat of the pattern set in the mount. A man who has been trained in straight seeing and straight thinking ought surely to frame his own decisions and seek to influence those of others on the basis of direct and open reasons, and refuse to ply or to obey the false plea or the hidden motive. He is under bonds to the intellectual righteousness in which he was reared, that his argument should be candid and his judgment straightforward and open to the sunlight. A man who has toiled with those who seek the truth and helped at its unveiling and seen how firm a rock it is and how feeble a mist of dreams is the lie that hides it, he cannot fail of the bold- ness which is the true man ' s courage, the courage of him whose strength is allied with the ultimate will. The type of the modern university man, the man who in public service practices intelligence, enacts reason, works out ideals and does righteousness, who in all his doings plows straight, hits hard, plays fair, seeks the truth, speaks the truth, and is not afraid, that type is well set forth in the person of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States. BENJ. IDE WHEELER.

Blue and Gold I9O4 TKe University Year As last year was marked by the beginning of greater expansion for the University than any previous year, so this year is marked, at least, by a par- tial consummation of President Wheeler ' s plan of a world university. A resume of the past year in the life of the University of California would be too voluminous to be considered here with justice to the many advancements it has made. California ' s progress during the past year has been phenomenal. From the fact that there are now enrolled students from all quarters of the globe we may say that the University is universal in its influence. When it can be said that we have alumni in every country of importance we can then say that we are truly a world university. Undoubtedly one of the most important features of the year ' s advance- ment is the progress in carrying out the Bernard plans of the Greater Univer- sity and through the beneficence of Mrs. Hearst and others, we have material evidences of this progress. In April, nineteen hundred and two, the ground was broken for the Hearst Memorial Mining Building and since that time other buildings have been begun, some by benefactors of the University ' and others at the expense of the State. The additions to the Library and Chem- istry Buildings and the repairs on North Hall are State expenditures which are necessary that the rapidly growing number of students may be accommo- dated, and it is hoped that before another year passes the California Hall provided for by the last Legislature will be a concrete realization. Mr. Rudolph Spreckels has provided for the erection and equipment of Physiology Hall in which will be conducted original research work by Dr. Jacques Loeb and his assistants. This building, however, is merely tem- porary, being built to supply the present needs. The Hearst Greek Amphitheatre is expected to be completed this year in time for commencement. For some time it has been a serious problem to know how to provide an adequate place of assemblage on high University days. Mr. William Randolph Hearst has met the need by giving $40,000, and our amphitheatre, in the form of a Greek theatre, with a seating capacity of 8,000, is now a material addition to our campus. Another benefactress of the University is Mrs. Jane K. Sather, who has provided for the erection of a memorial gateway and bridge at the Tele- graph Avenue entrance to the Campus, and, besides this she has contributed to our Library many valuable books and money, so that within a year our Law Library will be adequate for the present needs. One who deserves to be mentioned among our benefactors is Mr. Albert Bonnheim, of Sacramento. By providing for a yearly prize of two hundred
