dent Wheeler, chat there seems to be
no place in the world for a poor en-
gineer." The graduate school has
grown to 7t0 students, of whom there
are 80 per cent more men than women.
The thanks of the university to the
People of California for their generos-
ity in voting S1,S00,000 for bonds for
new buildings for the university is
voiced by President Wheeler in these
words:
I'VE, to whose care as regents and
teachers, the university is committed,
accept this act of the people as an
outstretched hand of approval and en-
couragement, but much more must We
recognize it as involving an obliga
tion laid upon us to greater and more
unselfish zeal in the service of our
beloved state. Every member of the
niversity-regents, teachers, stu
dents, alumni-all join in an expires
sion of deep, heartfelt thanks to a
generous people. 1t is our pride and
honor to labor in the interest of such
people-and we cannot help think
ing first of those men and women far
back among the hills and down in the
south country who gave us their votes
and sent us their blessing"
Plans are now being prepared for
the new recitation buildings to accom-
modate 5000 students, the agricultur-
al and chemical buildings, and the
completion of the library, to which
this money is to be devoted.
In discussing the problem of hOus-
ing the students-for as yet not one
dormitory has ever been built for the
University of California-President
Wheeler says that "the only practical
help has come through the clubs and
fraternities." He points out that there
are now 1,779 members of such or
.ganizations, which is 80 per cent of
the undergraduates He says that
during the past two years great pro-
2ress has been made by the fraterni-
ties in "esta blishing reasonable and
proper house rules" and encouraging
good scholarship. Beginning this
month, the university is to publish

LARGEST STATE UNIVERSITY
RECEIVES LEAST MONEY

That of the five states which en-
roll in their state universities the
greatest number of students, Caifor-
MIA, has by far the most students, but
given the last money for university
work is pointed out by President Idc
Wheeler of the University of Cali
fornia i'll his annual report, just is
sued.
Minnesota, for instance, gives mil
lion year more to the University of
Minnesota than does California to the
University of California. Yet this
years registration of the University
of California is $3.50, as compared
with 4,4S4 in the University of Min
nestota. Illinois gives 100000 year
more to the University of Illinois thar
does California to its university, but
Illinois has only 1864 students, as
compared with CALIFORNIA; $3.50.
In undergraduates the University of
California is far larger than any other
American university. For regular stu
dents, excluding summer session stu
dents and those in extension courses
of various sorts, it does much the lar
gest amount of teaching. But, be
sides its immense regular enrolment,
ii has a thousand in university ex
tension classes, $4,000 in correspon-
dence courses, and in its various
methods of teaching instructs directly
not less than $4,000 people each
year.
President Wheeler points out that
last years enrolment was Is per cent
greater than that of the previous year.
and that the undergraduates also had
grown Is per cent in a single year.
lr the past ten years the percentage
of women has shrunk from 41.6 to
3S.6. The greatest growth has been
III agriculture, which in ten years has
increased from 4.19 of all undergradu
ates to liza er cent. Meanwhile the
students in engineering courses have
decreased from % per cent to Is per
cent of the whole body of undergradu-
ates. This is chiefly due to the in
creased difficulty of the engineering
house and to realization, says Presi
Imperial Valley press., 1915-01-14

faculty anywhere than in the Univer-
sity of California is declared by Pres
ident Wheeler, and he states that no
part of the university has gained
more in reach and vigor in the last
two years than this department, and
that its members are making them
selves increasingly felt in influence
throughout the state and nation. The
university extension work of the uni
versity is stated to have reached out
into touch with the communities and
people of the state. Unquestioned
demand has appeared for this new
and distinct form of education Spe-
cial provision by the state for this
important work is earnestly recon-
mended.
That the university is an institu-
tion both of teaching and of original
investigation is pointed out, and thai
the best teaching cannot live without
research is asserted.
without doubt the advanced stu
dent will take from the university as
its real gift" says President Wheeler,
"the spirit and attitude of weighing
evidence, establishing the fact, and
determining the application thereof
of facing the truth, following its lead
and being made free thereby. Those
who teach must therefore inspire rath-
er than dictate. What they give must
be their vision rather than their
knowledge. He who instructs but can
not discover is sterile teacher. He
who is content to discover and never
teach surely throttles his own growth.
The contagious spirit of research is
the real university. The student who
has failed to catch, though but for
once, the glow of genuine discovery
may have been at the university, but
he has not been in it,"

President Wheeler, "has been made
by the fraternties in these last years

still one fraternity left which has no
rule on that subject. There are four
