[who would also be] the executive head of the institution in all its de- partments.” Despite this sweeping description of the president’s powers, the offi ce carried academic but little administrative au- thority in the early days of the University. In 1890, for example, it took a special amendment to the Regents’ Bylaws to give the president authority “to employ, dismiss, and regulate the duties of janitors.”1 As late as 1901, the Regents were still giving individual consideration to each request for replacement of a lost diploma. It was not until the administration of Benjamin Ide Wheeler (1899–1920) that the president truly became, in fact as well as in theory, the chief executive offi cer of the University. By the late 1950s, however, it was clear that the University had outgrown the ability of any one person to administer.

OTHER PRAIRIE SCHOOL ARCHITECTS George Washington
OTHER PRAIRIE SCHOOL ARCHITECTS George Washington Maher (1864–1926) Maher, at the age of 18, began working for the architectural firm of Bauer & Hill in Chicago before entering Silsbee’s office with Wright and Elmslie. Between late 1889 and early 1890, Maher formed a brief partnership with Charles Corwin. He then practiced independently until his son Philip joined him in the early 1920s. Maher developed his “motif-rhythm” design theory, which involved using a decorative symbol throughout a building. In Pleasant Home, the Farson-Mills House (Oak Park, 1897), he used a lion and a circle and tray motif. Maher enjoyed considerable social success, designing many houses on Chicago’s North Shore and several buildings for Northwestern University, including the gymnasium (1908–1909) and the Swift Hall of Engineering. In Winona, Minnesota, Maher designed the J. R. Watkins Administration Building (1911 – 1913), and the Winona Savings Bank (1913). Like Wright, Maher hoped to create an American style, but as his career progressed his designs became less original and relied more on past foreign styles. Maher’s frustration with his career may have led to his suicide in 1926. Dwight Heald Perkins (1867–1941) Perkins moved to Chicago from Memphis at age 12. He worked in the Stockyards and then in the architectural firm of Wheelock & Clay. A family friend financed sending Perkins to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied architecture for two years and then taught for a year. He returned to Chicago in 1888 after working briefly for Henry Hobson Richardson. Between 1888 and 1894 Perkins worked for Burnham & Root. -

Forestry Education at the University of California: the First Fifty Years
fORESTRY EDUCRTIOfl T THE UflIVERSITY Of CALIFORflffl The first fifty Years PAUL CASAMAJOR, Editor Published by the California Alumni Foresters Berkeley, California 1965 fOEUJOD T1HEhistory of an educational institution is peculiarly that of the men who made it and of the men it has helped tomake. This books tells the story of the School of Forestry at the University of California in such terms. The end of the first 50 years oi forestry education at Berkeley pro ides a unique moment to look back at what has beenachieved. A remarkable number of those who occupied key roles in establishing the forestry cur- riculum are with us today to throw the light of personal recollection and insight on these five decades. In addition, time has already given perspective to the accomplishments of many graduates. The School owes much to the California Alumni Foresters Association for their interest in seizing this opportunity. Without the initiative and sustained effort that the alunmi gave to the task, the opportunity would have been lost and the School would have been denied a valuable recapitulation of its past. Although this book is called a history, this name may be both unfair and misleading. If it were about an individual instead of an institution it might better be called a personal memoir. Those who have been most con- cerned with the task of writing it have perhaps been too close to the School to provide objective history. But if anything is lost on this score, it is more than regained by the personalized nature of the account. -
