THE good bark BLUE AND GOLD sails out upon the deep, bearing with pride the colors of our University. We wish it calm seas and a fair voyage. It carries within its hold the cargo of happenings in our miniature world and transports them to the realm of memory, which each of us will visit again and again in the years to come. They are touched by the wand of ever- lasting youth, so that they will for all time bear the fresh stamp of the age when they were vital and alive. Turn the pages of this book and presto! grave judges and learned professors, powerful executives and builders of great en- gineering works will become dirty-corded, irre- sponsible undergraduates, and friends who have drifted apart through the years will resume the intimacy of their youth. May this volume catch the spirit of the fleeting years and keep it in per- petuity for you and yours! MONROE E. DEUTSCH Dean of the College of Letters and Science . B. University of California, 1902 M. A. University of California, 1903 Ph. D. University of California, 1911 HE College of Commerce was established in 1898 through the generosity of Miss Cora Jane Flood. It is the second oldest college of commerce in the United States. Last fall the graduate year leading to a degree of M.S. in business administration was added. The purpose of the College of Commerce is to prepare men and women for the responsibilities of business. Business is now recognized as a pro- fession and the universities are accepting their responsibility to prepare students for it with the same degree of seriousness that they have in the past prepared them for other professions. The College of Commerce in its undergraduate and graduate curricula aims to give mental train- ing and discipline in the various subjects which are of basic importance in the field of business administration.

THOMAS M. PUTNAM Dean of Men B. S. University of California M. S. University of Chicago Ph. D. University of Chicago AISING students as to their personal rather than academic difficulties, acting as the agent of the administration in preserving continuity of policy, the office of the Dean of Men on the one hand is charged with the administration of loan funds, and is represented on the committees having to do with student welfare. On the other hand it represents the president on the Student Execu- tive Committee and in athletic matters; receives and makes effective the findings of the Under- graduate Student Affairs Committee. The conception of this office is that of an agency for individual and group welfare and counsel among the men students of the Uni- versity, and at the same time the interpreter of the student body and its problems to the administration. In this spirit the doors of this office open inward for those who care to come. LUCY W. STEBBINS Dean of Women B. A. University of California, 1904 THE offices of the Dean of Women there are six persons. Two are in the outer office to give information. The four occupants of the other offices cannot be seen from the corridor, but their welcome to all who come is none the less warm. One member of the staff is in touch with stu- dents ' living conditions and with loan funds for students. Another has a special interest in stu- dent self-support and in vocational problems. A third cooperates with the Infirmary and the Department of Physical Education for Women to help in making adjustments in cases of limited strength. A fourth is occupied with the plans of student leaders and with difficulties in scholar- ship. But the interest of each of them is to be to as many students as possible a means toward the fulfillment of a happy and profitable uni- versity life. IjUd i- [18]

WILLIAM W. KEMP Dean of Hie School of Education K. A. Slanford, 1898 Ph. D. Columbia, 191 HE School of Education exists in the inter- est of those who seek to serve society through work in the schools. Admittedly, there is room for improvement in the work of American teachers ; yet, in spite of all cynical questioning, their work was never better per- formed than at the present time. Our school necessarily gives a great propor- tion of its attention to the preparation of class- room teachers. However, undergraduate students should know that there are many important fields for specialization for those whose interests do not lie in actual teaching. The extraordinary expansion of school sys- tems has called for an array of officers with talent for the functions of supervision, business management, and other features of administra- tion which may prove attractive to students who can qualify. ORI1IN K. MC MUHHAY Dean of the College of Jurisprudence Ph. D. University of California, 1890 LL. B. Hastini?s College of Ihe Ijiw, 1893 LL. D. University of Southern California, 194 THE School of Jurisprudence is one of the leading law schools in the United States. Its faculty is a distinguished one, and many of its graduates are occupying important po- sitions as judicial officers, as members of the legal profession, and in other walks of life. The Alumni Association of the School of Jurisprudence indi- cates the interest that its former students pre- serve for the school. The activities of the school center in Boalt Hall, the gift of Mrs. Boalt in honor of her hus- band, a distinguished lawyer of California. In this building are housed the library of the school, the reading rooms, and the classrooms. Here too is the office of the California Law Review, which has been continuously published since 1912, the oldest law review published on the Pacific Coast. - d 1 f l J [20]
