Mr. T. A. Rickard, editor of the Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco, has given to the departmental library of the College of Mining, a number of valuable early books on mining and allied subjects, published from 1850 to 1875.

The Class of 1885 has given $1068.17 to the University to be held as the "Class of Eighty-Five Fund." The specific use of the gift is defined as follows:

One thousand dollars is to be held as capital, and kept as a unit and invested and reinvested, and the balance of sixty-eight and seventeen one-hundredths dollars to be held in an interest amount. The interest on the principal amount now and at any time hereafter is to be loaned to any undergraduate in the Academic Department of the University who may require assistance and who may satisfy the authorities of his or her necessities, in such an amount as may be determined, and upon such terms as to repayment without interest, as may be imposed by the recipient, it being intended that the total available for annual loans shall be increased by the successive repayments. Preference is to be shown to a descendant of any person who was at any time a member of the Academic Class of Eighty-five.

By a provision of the Army Appropriation Bill of 1918, the tract of Presidio land occupied by the Palace of Fine Arts was ceded to the Regents of the University. By this cession there is insured the permanent preservation of this institution for the people of San Francisco and the Bay region. The Palace of Fine Arts, designed by Bernard H. Maybeck, is generally pronounced to be one of the most distinctive architectural creations of modern times.

REGENTS AND FACULTY

APPOINTMENT OF NEW DEANS

Owing to the pressure of continually increasing war work, coupled with arduous administrative duties, the three deans of the University, in April, resigned their respective positions. The President thereupon resolved to fill the vacated offices with older members of the Faculty not at present shouldering special war duties. Charles Mills Gayley, Professor of the English Language and Literature, was appointed as Dean of the Faculties, to succeed Henry Rand Hatfield, Professor of Accounting on the Flood Foundation; Henry Morse Stephens, Sather Professor of History, was selected as Dean of the College of Letters and Science to replace George P. Adams, Associate Professor of Philosophy; William Carey Jones, Professor of Jurisprudence, was chosen as Dean of the Graduate Division, vice A. O. Leuschner, Professor of Astronomy. Upon the ratification of these appointments by the Regents, the President announced that the new deans would comprise an executive council to advise with him, at his call, on all matters of University policy.

Merriam, Professor of Palaeontology and Historic Geology, was invited by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States to deliver the William Ellery Hall lecture at the annual convention to be held at Washington from April 22 to April 24, on "The Beginnings of Human History from Geologic Record."
