  • 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.

  • Public Mission, Private Funding: the University of California, Berkeley
    N9-317-023 AUGUST 24, 2016 WILLIA M C . K I R B Y JOYCELYN W. EBY Public Mission, Private Funding: The University of California, Berkeley We stand at a crossroads. At stake is not our existence, per se, but the idea that society as a whole benefits when access to a world-class education is based on merit, not privilege or financial circumstances; that the private sector must not be allowed to become the sole repository of excellence; that research conducted in the public’s interest is distinct from inquiry driven by the pursuit of profit; and that the deep commitment to making the world a better place that animates our campus is no accident. — Nicholas Dirks, Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley1 University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley) Chancellor Nicholas Dirks strode across the land that he hoped would soon become the Berkeley Global Campus. Located in Richmond, California, with a panoramic view of the San Francisco bay, the land had long been set aside for collaboration with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.a In 2013, however, federal budget cuts and shifting plans delayed the intended expansion of the Lab, and Dirks had seized the opportunity and location to establish a new model for partnership between American and international universities, one among a series of initiatives launched under Dirks’s leadership.2 Dirks came to Berkeley with a distinguished record of scholarship and academic leadership, having served as executive vice president for the arts and sciences and dean of the faculty at Columbia University. He began his chancellorship in 2013 when, after the calamitous global financial crisis of 2008, Berkeley was beginning to find firm enough footing to dedicate serious time and energy to thinking about its strategy for the future.

  • Berkeley, a City in History"
    "Berkeley, A City in History" by Charles Wollenberg © 2002 Chapter 1 - First Settlers In the year 2000 the Berkeley city council approved formal landmark status for the Indian shellmound that once stood near the mouth of Strawberry Creek in West Berkeley. Scientists estimate that the mound, actually a giant midden filled with the remains and material remnants of the society that created it, was used for more than three thousand years, from 3000 BC to 800 AD. Like dozens of its companions along the bay shore, the Berkeley shellmound was leveled and paved over in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But some remains of the structure survive under the Truitt and White lumberyard and the Spengers Restaurant parking lot. Opponents of the landmark proposal, mainly property owners concerned about limits on development, argued that the site was not eligible for landmark status since it was "archeological" rather than "historical". Although the precise difference between these categories is not entirely clear, the city council's approval implicitly recognizes that Berkeley's history doesn't just begin with the arrival of American residents a hundred and fifty years ago, but extends back thousands of years to the area's very first settlers. The Huichin When the Europeans initially arrived in the late eighteenth century, Berkeley was inhabited by the Huichin, part of the larger Ohlone or Costanoan linguistic and cultural group which occupied coastal regions from the central Bay Area south to Monterey Bay. Like all Ohlone peoples, the Huichin lived in bands of a few hundred individuals inhabiting a well-defined hunting and gathering territory.

  • And Succession Planning
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.17.07 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ HEDGEHOGS, FOXES, LEADERSHIP RENEWAL AND SUCCESSION PLANNING November 2007 Cristina González University of California, Davis Copyright 2007 Cristina González, all rights reserved. Abstract: This article examines the intellectual history of The Uses of the University , including the influence of José Ortega y Gasset’s ideas about higher education, with a view to exploring Clark Kerr’s vision for the university and how that vision might be expanded to take account of present challenges, in particular, diversity. The paper, which calls for leadership renewal and succession planning, pays special attention to the two types of administrators defined by Kerr--the visionary hedgehog and the shrewd fox. We need to identify the hedgehogs and foxes of the future, who must be as diverse as possible if they are to raise the “multiversity” to “the height of the times.” Introduction In the last few years, I have been teaching various graduate and undergraduate courses on higher education at UC Davis.* My focus has been the evolution of Western institutions of higher learning from antiquity to the present, with an emphasis on the * This paper is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the Center for Studies in Higher Education at the University of California, Berkeley, on February 14, 2006. I thank Jud King and the other members of the Center for their kind invitation. Without meaning to suggest that they necessarily share my views, I also am indebted to Steve Chatman, John Douglass, Marian Gade, David Gardner, Duncan Jacobson, Anne MacLachlan, Patricia Pelfrey and Sheldon Rothblatt for providing helpful comments at various stages of the project.
