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. The 54 The Role of President of the University / 55 enormous Baby Boom generation was coming of college age, and the University was planning the expansion of its existing campuses and the creation of three new ones at La Jolla, Irvine, and Santa Cruz. -
2 Silver Squelchers and Their Interesting Associates!
#2 SILVER SQUELCHERS AND THEIR INTERESTING ASSOCIATES! Presented September 2014 by Charles Savoie “…THE CLANS WHOSE SELFISH ACTIVITIES HAVE TORMENTED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS---THE MEMBERS OF THE POWER MINDED UPPER RULING CLASS THAT SEE EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN INTERESTS. EVERY REPRESSIVE AND FASCIST TREND IN THE UNITED STATES CAN BE TRACED ON THE RECORD IN SOME WAY, TO THIS RULING CLASS.” ---pages 484 and 513, “America’s 60 Families” by Ferdinand Lundberg, 1937. There is no evidence that Lundberg was aware of The Pilgrims Society. Continuing with number 2 in this series, as we progress towards the present, we will consider another 15 Pilgrims Society members from the leaked 1914 rosters. Unavoidably we will mention others significantly connected to them. Not all members of this nearly unknown organization have been, or are, precious metals suppressors. The organization is concerned with many other spheres---medicine, science, diplomacy, the military and war industries, insurance giants, universities, big media, and far more. This group remains present at this moment behind the scenes and traces to conspirators active in the Crime of ’73, the Panics of 1857 and 1837, both United States Banks, and much more. It can be anticipated that as they were in earlier times the source of precious metals price and monetary suppression, that the ringleaders in this arena today are also members. That’s why it’s important to maintain pressure on them to post rosters to public view. None of the nine rosters from bygone years were voluntarily released. 1) Henry Clews (1836-1923) is described by Wikipedia as having cofounded in 1859 “Livermore, Clews & Company, then the second largest marketer of Federal bonds during the Civil War.” In 1877 he was the principal in Clews & Company. -

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. -

Dr. Mathias C. Williams
Dr. Mathias C. Williams: Early Settler of College Hill & Abolitionist The Strobridge Lithograph of College Hill c1860, showing the home and grounds of Dr. Mathias C. Williams in College Hill (lower right), as it would have appeared prior to being consumed in a fire in 1864. At left is the Farmers’ College and Cary’s Academy Buildings. Introduction When I was three years old, my parents purchased what was known as the Daniel B Pierson home, and later the Orville Simpson home. Growing up in an old house with a rolling landscape around it was a true joy. The old place, since christened as Tanglewood, has always held a special position for me. As an adult, this eventually meant delving into the history of the home and the families who inhabited it and shaped the landscape and architecture of which I have become the steward. Most all of the material began with Daniel B. Pierson and went forward; but I want to know what was there before that? Well, William Cary purchased 491 acres in Section 30 of Millcreek Township in 1813 at $7 per acre and that became the core of College Hill. Of these acres, he later sold 56 of them in 1819 to his half-brother John Strong, and a decade later the southernmost portion of that tract was made into a ten acre lot that would hold its form for nearly a century and become the residence of Daniel B. Pierson. In the recorded history of College Hill we have found that there have been many omissions. -
