THE College of Agriculture consists of the Department of Agriculture, which has the responsibility for resident instruction in all phases of agriculture and certain sciences basic thereto; the Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion, charged with research and investigation in the physical, biological, and social sciences in relation to agriculture; and the Agricultural Ex- tension Service, which carries to the people of the state the results of agricultural investiga- tions. The college is part of a nation-wide edu- cational system designed to advance, by means of research and education, the nation ' s most basic industry for the benefit of all citizens. For geographical reasons the activities of the college have been developed in three primary centers of the state Berkeley, Davis, and Riv- erside and in some half dozen secondary cen- ters for the study of local or special problems. C. B. HUTCHISON Dean of the College of Agriculture B. S. University of Missouri, 1908 M.S. Cornell, 1913 M.S. Harvard, 1917 STABLISHED in the earliest days of our Uni- versity, the College of Mining continues to supply its quota to the basic industry upon which we are all directly and indi- rectly dependent. The demand for men gradu- ating from college far exceeds the number avail- able each year; the alumni are widely scattered and the impress of California men is seen in the development and exploitation of mineral re- sources over the length and breadth of the six continents. During the academic year now closing, enroll- ment shows an increase in numbers, the spirit of the mining group has been wholesome and pur- poseful, improvements in both curriculum and equipment have been made, the professional activities of the staff have expanded, and the College of Mining is knit solidly together in a desire to meet the demands of the mineral in- dustry.

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]

CHARLES DERLETH, JR. Dean of he College of Civil Engineering 11. S. College of the City of New York C. E. School of Mines, Columhia Universily THE humanities always have been acknowl- edged cultural subjects. The man of science, too, at last is accorded his place. But do we appreciate the engineer? There is no marked dividing line today between pure science and the best work of the engineer. Together they add to the sum of human knowl- edge and happiness. We are indebted to engineering for transporta- tion, modern agriculture, irrigation, steamships, machinery, hydro-electric power, communica- tion, sanitation, mining and metallurgy, and thus are dependent upon the engineer for a healthy, a safe, and even a luxurious living. This engineering foundation has secured to society a nobler superstructure for intellectual and spiritual living than the world has ever wit- nessed heretofore. CLARENCE L. CORY was called to the University of California as Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering in 1892, and in 1908 was appointed Dean of the College of Mechanics. With the aid of Professor J. N. LeConte he installed the first equipment of the Electrical Laboratories. In 1895 he directed the installa- tion of the power house in the rear of the Mechanics Building. Also, during this period, he delivered a series of lectures on electrical engineering before the Mechanics Institute and the San Francisco Academy of Sciences. Because of illness, Dean Cory was granted a leave of absence for the spring semester. CLARENCE L. CORY Dean of the College of Mechanics B. M. E. Purdue M. M. E. Cornell E. D. Purdue
