hold in store as great reputations and as splendid victories as any of the phases of our problems which have been solved. The problems which remain are of an intricacy and a difficulty probably surpassing anything which we have been obliged to face heretofore. We therefore need men who are second to none in imaginative capacity, in sheer mental vigor, and in training in physics, mathematics, and physical chemistry. To such, I can promise problems of an innate beauty, complexity, and fascination which are not surpassed in any other branch of science. I am optimist enough to believe that, though they have been slow in coming to us, we shall gradually impress such men with the importance of the work and enlist them in a service of the greatest interest to science, and hence of the greatest importance to mankind.

UNIVERSITY RECORD

SUMMER SESSION IN BERKELEY

The nineteenth annual Summer Session at Berkeley began Monday, June 24, 1918, and continued until Saturday, August 3. Notwithstanding the unsettled conditions due to the war, the enrollment numbered 3479 as against 3979 in 1917. Thirty-five states of the union were represented and students were enrolled from thirteen foreign countries. Instruction in 34 departments was offered, and although the courses were those of the regular curricula, yet emphasis was placed upon problems raised by the war. In addition to these courses of instruction, fifty special lectures on literary, historical, economic, and patriotic subjects were given. Among the special lectures were those on "The Red Cross, Its Purposes and Practices, by Dr. Stockton Axson, Secretary of the National Red Cross; "The Moral Aims of the War,'' by Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean of the Yale School of Religion; "Belgium," by Dr. Albert J. Carnoy, formerly of the University of Louvain; "Italy Our Ally," by Lieutenant B. Roselli of the Italian Army; "Great Britain and the War," by Sir George Adam Smith, Vice-Principal of Aberdeen University.

A second term of the Summer Session began Monday, August 5, and continued until Saturday, September 12. The students enrolled numbered 594, of whom 239 were in attendance during the first term. The courses in the second term were planned especially to meet some phase of the emergency arising from the great war-to hasten the education of doctors and nurses, to train reconstruction aides, social workers and secretaries, and to aid in the preparation of teachers. Together with similar courses offered in the first term, they were grouped, in "schools" covering a period of twelve weeks, as follows: School for the Training of Reconstruction Aides; Courses for Credit in Schools of Nursing; War Emergency Course in Social Economics; War Emergency School for Stenographers.

SUMMER SESSION IN LOS ANGELES

The University this year for the first time held a Summer Session in Los Angeles. It was known officially as the Southern Division of the Summer Session, and as its name indicated, formed a part of the Summer Session under the direction of Dean Walter Morris Hart. During the period of the session Associate Dean Monroe E. Deutsch was in charge. The attendance was 630, and as was expected, the students came almost entirely from southern California. It is interesting to note that the registration at the session in Berkeley was 661 in 1908, exactly ten years ago. The Los Angeles Board of Education generously granted the University the use of the beautiful new Los Angeles High School Building for the period of the session.

The faculty numbered sixty, and a large number of departments was represented. In addition to members of the regular University faculty, a number of visitors gave instruction; of these sixteen came from other states. The emphasis, as in the session in Berkeley, was laid upon courses bearing upon the war, such as agriculture, food conservation, dietetics, naval history and strategy, the history of France, etc. Naturally courses in education and in the teaching of the various subjects were stressed in view of the large percentage of teachers in attendance. Numerous special lectures were given, in particular a series of ten on "Aspects of the War" by members of the faculty of the Summer Session, delivered evenings in the Friday Morning Clubhouse in the heart of Los Angeles; large audiences attended these, and thus came into direct contact with the University. M. Maurice Casenave, Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, was among the speakers before the session.

Two agencies served to create a sense of unity in the student body and to emphasize its relation to the University-The Summer Session Californian, which was issued twice a week by the students in the Department of Journalism, and the University meetings which were held weekly. Mr. Arthur Farwell, President of the New York Community Chorus and member of the faculty of the Summer Session, led a community chorus twice each week in the center of the city.

The Regents have expressed themselves as gratified by the success of the session and have announced their intention of holding a second, in Los Angeles in the summer of 1919.

STUDENTS' ARMY TRAINING CORPS, AND NAVAL UNIT

Authority from the Federal Government was received early in September for the establishment of a unit of the Students' Army Training Corps and also of a Naval Unit at the University. The purpose of the government as stated by the War Department was to utilize the "executive and teaching personnel and the physical equipment of the colleges to assist in the training of the new armies.''

An immediate expenditure of $200,000 for military buildings was authorized by the Regents so that the military and naval units might begin their work by the opening of the academic year.

MILITARY AND NAVAL BOARD

A Military and Naval Administrative Board has been established to represent President Wheeler in matters connected with naval and military affairs at the University. The Board will have jurisdiction, under the approval of the President, over the military schools for enlisted men, the schools and courses for naval training, and the Students' Army Training Corps Unit. The Board will coördinate the work of the various schools and supervise, in the name of the President and the Advisory Committee of Deans, the programme of the War and Navy departments, which the University has been asked to carry out.

President Wheeler has made the following appointments: T. M. Putnam, Dean of the Lower Division, Chairman; J. Sutton, Recorder of the Faculties; I. M. Linforth, Associate Professor of Greek; R. G. Sproul, Acting Comptroller; and Morse A. Cartwright, Assistant to the President.
