The campus is in a residential seciton of Pasadena, about a mile from the central business district. The area bounded by East California Street, South Hill Avenue, San Pasqual Street and South Wilson A venue is the central campus of about thirty acres, the first twenty-two acres of which were ac­ quired in 1907, three years before the Institute moved from downtown Pasadena to its present location. In this area have been constructed, since 1909, nearly all of the principal facilities of the Institute-laboratories, lec­ ture and class rooms, offices, undergraduate residence halls, and a clubhouse for the use of the graduate students; the staffs of the Institute, the Mount Wilson Observatory and the Huntington Library; and the California Insti­ tute Associates. Tournament Park, the area lying south of East California Street, was originally the property of the City of Pasadena. In March 1947 the citizens of the city voted to authorize the sale of Tournament Park to the Institute, and the formalities involved in the transfer of title were completed early in 1949. Tournament Park adds about twenty acres to the campus. Besides supplying much-needed parking space for students· and staff, Tournament Park has the following facilities for athletics and recreation: eight tennis courts; three outdoor basketball and two volleyball courts; a football practice field; a quarter-mile track with a 220-yard straightaway; two baseball diamonds, one with a grandstand seating 5000; and a gymna­ sium and swimming pool. 7 CAMPUS • CALIFORNIA I ~ !~I 5 A N p' A .5 Q U A L'---ST R -E E T ~~~~.. ~ CALIFORNIA STREET ~. t"fr~t[lJjlljjjljIIII[rjllj~j;">'J '. : :'.' . ...~ ··'f.•. .:::'·~:~:"~t:~ ::.~'~:.;y ;: ~:':."

As of today, a parcel tax to replace the current library does not have the necessary votes to make it on the 2020 ballot, according to a survey conducted by FM3 Research. Approximately 55% of those surveyed said they would vote “yes” on a ballot measure, which is well below the two- thirds needed for passage. Fifty-three percent of Sierra Madre residents, who were surveyed back We are with the families affected by in 2018, were in favor of making needed repairs to the current library the fires and we thank our firemen with only 33% in favor of the construction of a new library. City Council for their bravery and protection. members expressed concern over spending funds on repairs to a building that could be replaced by a new facility if such a project was approved on a ballot in the next four years. The City is already dealing with added expenditures as a result of COVID-19 and the Bobcat Fire. Estimates for It is our sad duty to report that Glidden "Bud" Switzer peacefully passed repair to the library and adjacent lot range from $800,000 to $3.5 million, away on September 23rd, shortly after his 92nd birthday.

[email protected] https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/ An “Exceedingly Delicate Undertaking”: Sino-American Science Diplomacy, 1966–78 Pete Millwood International History Department, London School of Economics In the first half of the twentieth century, China sought to modernize through opening to the world. Decades of what would become a century of humiliation had disabused the country of its previous self-perceived technological superiority, as famously expressed by Emperor Qianlong to the British envoy George Macartney in 1793. The Chinese had instead become convinced that they needed knowledge from outside to become strong enough to resist imperial aggression. No country encouraged this opening more than the United States. Americans threw money and expertise at the training of Chinese students and intellectuals. The Rockefeller Foundation’s first major overseas project was the creation of China’s finest medical college and other US institutions followed Rockefeller’s lead by establishing dozens of Chinese universities and technical schools to train a new generation of Chinese scientists.
