OFFICIAL WAR RECORDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA

As a valuable supplement to the War Service Record appearing in the last number of the University Chronicle, The California Alumni Fortnightly has compiled the Official War Records for the University of California, giving the date of entry, rank, promotions and permanent address of the 3073 men-faculty members, alumni, graduates and students-who have joined the colors. Of these, 83 per cent have entered the Army, 14 per cent the Navy, and 3 per cent the Marines; of the total number in the Army group, 49 per cent are commissioned men; and in the Navy, 37 per cent. The entries have been tabulated by classes and the list corrected to September 15.

COURSE IN EMPLOYMENT MANAGEMENT

Early in the war the United States Government was compelled to realize that its plans for building ships and manufacturing supplies with which to carry on an aggressive campaign were being continually hampered by labor troubles of all sorts. Another great difficulty encountered was found in an exceedingly high labor turnover employers could not retain their working forces. In studying the situation more closely it was discovered that in those plants where there was an employment management or service department properly equipped and administered, no trouble was experienced in getting out contracts on time. Many plants doing work for the government were shown to be suffering seriously from easily remedied abuses, but the employer knew nothing of twentieth century practices used by the more modern plants in handling their labor problems. It was thereupon decided to send the employer or his representative to take up special courses of study in which the up-to-date methods might be taught him. An Employment Management Division was added to the War Industries Board, a curriculum of study to be given by experts was outlined, and certain universities located in industrial centers were asked to establish courses embodying the same. Rochester, Harvard, Columbia, Wash

ington (Seattle) and California responded and established a six weeks' training course in employment management.

The course at the University of California was placed under the direction of Dr. Ira B. Cross, Acting Dean of the College of Commerce, and began September 3 with a registration of twentysix experienced and mature men and women sent by firms employing over 50,000 men. The work was intensive and covered the fields of labor problems, statistics and employment management. Individual problems were also taken up and discussed and attempts made to find remedies for local conditions that might endanger industrial peace.

Before graduation the members of the class organized the Service and Employment Managers' Association of California to carry on the work among other firms in California and, by means of twentieth century methods, to bridge the gap between the employer and employees, thus promoting better human relations. Results already obtained in the factories and shipyards of the Pacific Coast more than justify the establishment of the course.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR FAUCHEUX

Gustave Faucheux, Associate Professor of French Literature, died at his mother's home in Orléans, France, on the twenty-fourth of August, 1918.

Born in Orléans on March 28, 1853, Professor Faucheux received from the University of Paris the degree of Bachelier ès Lettres in 1869, and in the following year that of Bachelier ès Sciences. By further study at the Ecole Polytechnique, he prepared himself for a military career, and subsequently served for many years as an officer in the French army. A considerable part of this time was spent in Algeria. In 1894 he came to the University of California as Instructor in the French Department, of which Professor Paget was then the head. In 1910 he was made Assistant Professor and in 1915 Associate Professor of French Literature.

Until 1906 he lived in San Francisco, where he was deeply respected by the members of the French colony, but after the fire he made his home in Berkeley. In the summer of 1911 he married Madame Léonie Morigin, née Jeand 'heur. His last years were saddened by the shadow of the great war, and by the sudden and tragic death of his wife in January, 1917. Both he and Madame Faucheux had worked untiringly for the relief of their stricken countrymen, and even after her death, his efforts did not relax. In the spring of 1918, Professor Faucheaux was granted a leave of absence for the following year, and the last three months of his

life were spent in his native Orléans. He is survived by his mother and two brothers.

Professor Faucheux was not one of those scholars who leave their memorial in published writings. He was preeminently a teacher, and his enduring monument is the abiding gratitude of nearly a generation of young men and women who through his gentle guidance came to know and admire the literature and the ideals of the France he held so dear. It is to his patient and unremitting effort that the University is in large measure indebted for its excellent library of French literature. To know Professor Faucheux was to love him. Students, colleagues, all who came in contact with him during his twenty-four years of unselfish devotion to the University, will long cherish the memory of his kindly and sympathetic personality.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR ARMES

William Dallam Armes was born August 3, 1860, in San Francisco. His father was George Armes, of Hadley, Mass. His mother, Sarah Dallam, was born in Kentucky. His father, in connection with his brother and brother-in-law, founded the pioneer firm of Armes & Dallam that for many years occupied a prominent place in the mercantile circles of San Francisco. In 1866 the family moved to Oakland and became identified with the early history of that city. George Armes and his brother were leading citizens of early Oakland, interested in civic affairs, and were among the founders of the First Presbyterian Church.

Young Armes spent his boyhood in Oakland, attended the public schools and graduated from the Oakland High School in 1878. He then entered the University and graduated with the class of 1882, taking what was then known as the Literary Course. Among his classmates were Guy C. Earl, P. E. Bowles, J. J. Dwyer, Stanley Stillman, W. B. Storey, R. M. Fitzgerald, and others.

After graduation he entered his father's firm and remained there for two years. His taste for literature led him to enter the University as Assistant in English, the department presided over by Edward Rowland Sill. Two years later, in 1886, he went to Europe and entered the University of Strasburg as a graduate student. A year later he was called back to San Francisco by the illness of his father. He took his father's place in the firm, but business did not appeal to him and in 1888 he again entered the University as Assistant in English. In 1889 he was promoted to the instructorship in English, remaining in this capacity until 1895, when he became

Assistant Professor of English Literature. From 1906 to 1907 he was in attendance at Harvard as a graduate student. In 1908 he became Associate Professor of American Literature, and this rank he held at the time of his death.

In addition to his teaching, Professor Armes was active in other phases of University activities. From 1893 to 1897 he was Secretary of the Faculty Committee on University Extension. From 1898 to 1901 he served as Secretary of the Editorial Committee. From 1908 to 1918 he was Chairman of the Music and Dramatic Committee of the University, and in 1917 he was appointed Director of the Greek Theatre.

His death occurred August 18, 1918, after several months of continued illness.
