UC Office of the President the Atkinson Presidency
UC Office of the President The Atkinson Presidency Title The Role of the President of the University Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/91w6350x Author Atkinson, Richard Publication Date 1997-12-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Role of the President of the University December 1997 The 1868 Organic Act proclaimed that the University of Califor- nia would be led by a “President of the several Faculties . [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.

Hedgehog and the Fox” Reconsidered 149
The “Hedgehog and the Fox” Reconsidered 149 Chapter 9 The “Hedgehog and the Fox” Reconsidered: Unreconciled Religious Diversity in the Dialogue of Civilizations1 Philip L. Wickeri The theme for religions and the dialogue of civilizations, is a most important one for creating peace and harmony in our world and in our own communities. In this paper, I re-introduce the metaphor of “the hedgehog and the fox” as a way of speaking about inter-civilizational dialogue in a world of unreconciled religious diversity. By unreconciled diversity, I mean the inter-religious differ- ences that cannot be overcome or “harmonized” and therefore must be accepted and dealt with. 1 Part In 1953, Sir Isaiah Berlin (1909–1997) wrote an essay on Leo Tolstoy’s view of history entitled “The Hedgehog and the Fox.”2 This became one of the most influential essays ever written on Western intellectual history, and it is still in print today. Berlin takes his point of departure from an obscure philosophical fragment that has been attributed to the ancient Greek poet Archilochus: The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. There is no certain interpretation of this sentence. The fragment may mean no more than that the fox, in his cunning, is defeated by the hedgehog’s one sure defense. But Berlin reinterprets the fragment to elaborate a basic intellectual 1 China Social Science Forum (2013: Religious Studies) 中国社会科学论坛 (2013: 宗教学).

1. Introduction
A fox knows many things but a hedgehog one big thing Mark Aronoff Stony Brook University 1. Introduction Isaiah Berlin’s little book, The Hedgehog and the Fox (1953), takes its title from a line by the Greek poet Archilochus: πόλλ᾽ οἶδ᾽ ἀλωπηξ ἀλλ᾽ ἐχῖνος ἓν μέγα ‘many [things] knows [a] fox but [a] hedgehog one big [thing]’. Since it is impossible to do justice in a paraphrase to Berlin’s prose, I will quote the relevant passage in full: [T]aken figuratively, the words can be made to yield a sense in which they mark one of the deepest differences which divide writers and thinkers, and, it may be, human beings in general. For there exists a great chasm between those, on one side, who relate everything to a single central vision, one system less or more coherent or articulate, in terms of which they understand, think, and feel—a single, universal, organizing principle in terms of which alone all that they are and say has significance—and, on the other side, those who pursue many ends, often unrelated and even contradictory, connected, if at all, only in some de facto way, for some psychological or physiological cause, related by no moral or aesthetic principle; these last lead lives, perform acts, and entertain ideas that are centrifugal rather than centripetal, their thought is scattered or diffused, moving on many levels, seizing upon the essence of a vast variety of experiences and objects for what they are in themselves, without, consciously or unconsciously, seeking to fit them into, or exclude them from, any one unchanging, all-embracing, sometimes self-contradictory and incomplete, at times fanatical, unitary vision. -

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. -
John Lawrence Leconte
MEMOIR JOHN LAWRENCE LECONTE. 1825-1883. SAMUEL H. SCUDDER. HEAD HEFORK THE NATIONAL ACADEMY, APRIL 17, 1884. 261 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOHN LAWRENCE LECONTE. The revocation of the edict of Nantes, with its attendant persecu- tions and other horrors, was incidentally of advantage to science; for of the tens of thousands who expatriated themselves from a community given over to tyranny and fanaticism, not a few carried with them and transmitted to their offspring, born in the land of refuge, a spirit of scientific investigation, which was doubtless quick- ened by the intense life of the time; and in after years, when the hereditary trait again appeared, it may often have found its healthy growth re-enforced by the admixture of the new element afforded by residence in a foreign country. At all events other countries owe much of their scientific fame to the men of Huguenot ancestry, who fled from the intolerance of Louis XIV, and whose influence outside of France would but for this have certainly been lessened for lack of direct contact; for among the Huguenots, or their de- scendants, as has frequently been pointed out, was an unusual pro- portion of men devoted to science, literature, and the arts. Thus, to mention but a few names, Switzerland owes to this movement her DeCandolles, and Saussures, with Plantamour and a host of lesser lights; Germany and Holland, Charpentier and Lyonet; and our own country, Bowdoin, of Cambridge, an early president of the American Academy; John Jay, of New York, and the LeContes, living and dead. The name of LeConte, or LeComte, as it was indifferently spelled, was a frequent one in France in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and particularly in Normandy. -

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Howard Schachman, dated April 26, 2007.
