is carrying on investigations concerning poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis), rabies, etc. Also a great amount of laboratory work is being done there in the way of diagnosis for country physicians, in order to aid in checking epidemics, reducing the amount of communicable disease, etc.

During 1913 two hundred and seventy persons who had been bitten by mad dogs were treated for rabies by the State Hygienic Laboratory, with anti-rabic virus prepared at the State Hygienic Laboratory on the campus. During 1912 but one hundred and ninety-two persons received the treatment. An active campaign is being undertaken by the State Board of Health to enforce muzzling in every region in the State of California in which rabies has appeared.

The anti-typhoid vaccine for the preparation of which Professor F. P. Gay and Dr. Edith J. Claypole have elaborated an improved method has now been turned over to the State Board of Health. The vaccine will be prepared hereafter at the State Hygiene Laboratory on the campus, under the direction of Director W. A. Sawyer, and will be sent free to any physician in California. Since this work began last spring, more than fourteen hundred students have been vaccinated against typhoid.

THE CAMPANILE

The completion of the steel work for the three-hundred-foot Jane K. Sather Campanile was celebrated by the steel contractors by the serving of a banquet to the crew of steel erectors, in the open belvedere, two hundred and forty feet above the ground. President Wheeler and Charles Derleth, Jr., Professor of Civil Engineering, who was consulting engineer for the structure, were guests of honor at the repast, and after-dinner speakers of the occasion, after which they descended precariously to earth in the skip. Work is in progress on the granite of the great bell-tower.

"CHINATOWN POINT" WITHDRAWN

The Pacific Improvement Company, through a letter of December 16, 1913, from Mr. A. D. Shepard, General Manager, notified the Regents that the offer of a tract of land at "Chinatown Point", Monterey, some years before offered to the University as a site for a marine biological laboratory, provided that the University would erect adequate buildings thereon, had now been withdrawn. The University retains, of course, the Herzstein Laboratory on the shore there.

SOME UNIVERSITY MATTERS

Professional training in forestry is one of the new opportunities offered at the beginning of 1914.

Parker, Assistant Professor of Industrial Economy, has been granted by the Regents permission to devote half his time to service as secretary of the California Immigration and Housing Commission.

The report analyses the attitude of the I. W. W., of the employer, and of the community at large in regard to the matters at issue.
