ft? (INI VI R H pM MM K g pHgg3gSj x s w izg L aE m JL 1 Faculty During the year the additions to the Faculty have far overbalanced the Changes losses by retirement, death or departure. Many new personalities have come as visitors in place of exchange professors or to replace officers absent on sabbatical leave. Some of these newcomers have become permanent mem- bers o f the University Faculty. All have left a positive impression upon the minds with which they have come in contact. In a faculty of over eight hundred, only three permanent losses have been felt. Death has robbed the University of Dr. Reinhardt, head of the Department of Hygiene, and Dean Christy, of the College of Mining. Professor Lincoln Hutchin- son left for South America during the year to enter the diplomatic service, and there- by the Economics Department lost a valued member. Eleven professors have been absent on leave throughout the year. Many more chairs have been filled than were left vacant by absentees. In the School of Agriculture alone there were no less than thirty -nine instructors added to the faculty roles. Principal among these were the two new professors in the Department of Forestry. Professor Walter Mulford came from Cornell University, and Professor David Townsend Mason of Yale left the University of Montana for a chair at California. As first professor on the Jane K. Sather $140,000 foundation for the study of classical literature, Henry W. Prescott from Chicago was in resi- dence during the second semester. In the Law School, Professors John Wurts and Barry Gilbert were newcomers during the year. The Hooper foundation brought two new men to the medical faculty in Dr. George H. Whipple of Johns Hopkins as Director, and Dr. Ernest L. Walker as Associate Professor of Tropical Medicine. Dr. Robert T. Legge became Professor of Hygiene and University Physician to replace the late Dr. Reinhardt. As Agassiz Professor of Oriental Languages and Literature, Dr. Alfred Forke of the University of Berlin was chosen. At the open- ing of the first semester the Physical Education Department was divided into separate organizations for men and women. Miss Maude Cleveland was made Assistant Professor of Physical Education and Director of the Women ' s Gymnasium.

THE UNIVERSITY Student Emerging from Self -Government the old Athletic Association in the year 1 90 1 , the present organization of the Associated Students of the Uni- versity of California has firmly estab- lished itself and become the central governing body in undergraduate affairs. The five thousand members of the college community are cen- trally administered by an Executive Committee of three elected and four appointed officials. The Presi- dent, Vice-president and Secretary are selected by general ballot. A Graduate Manager is chosen bi-annually by a special commission of seven elected Seniors. The Big C Society ap- points one of its members as Athletic Representative, and an alumnus and a faculty representative are appointed by the committee itself. Assisting this Executive Council in its various functions of student rule are the several subordinate organizations which administer the affairs of the A. S. U. C. in the different branches of its activity. Athletic relations are in the hands of the Intercollegiate Agreement Committee. A Rally Committee is appointed to organize and direct the strictly undergraduate gatherings of the Student Body. Aiding the Sophomore class, with a systematic method of selecting officials for its Junior book, is the.fi ue and Gold Advisory Com- mittee which designates those second year students whose work on the previous book merits their eligibility to election as editor and manager of the next annual. Especially important in student government are the committees on Under- graduate Students ' Affairs and Students ' Welfare. The former is mainly delibera- tive in its fostering of the honor spirit in the University and its discussion of general matters of student concern. The Affairs Committee is executive and administra- tive in nature, carrying on investigations of all such matters as may tend to violate University rules and injure the interests of the Student Body, and acting as a supreme court before which are tried all misdemeanors committed by undergraduates as such. The admirable work of the Students ' Welfare Committee during the past
