  • 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.

Gardner President Emeritus, University of California and University of Utah Copyright 2012 David P. Gardner, all rights reserved. ABSTRACT This paper is a personal recollection of Clark Kerr and his presidency of the University of California by a friend of 43 years, not from a distance, but as a former student, colleague and successor president of the University. It is also a summary remembrance of the contributions made by his three most influential predecessors. These three presidents: Gilman (1872-75), Wheeler (1899-1919), and Sproul (1930-1958), essentially defined the trail of history that led to and helped shape Kerr’s own presidency (1958-1967). The principal focus of this paper is Kerr’s beliefs, values, style, personality, ways of working, priorities and life-experiences that so informed his professional and personal lives. Few such private persons have held such a public position as that of president of the University of California. The interplay between the man and his duties helps one better to understand and more deeply to appreciate Kerr’s remarkable accomplishments and the triumphs and turmoil that defined both his presidency and legacy alike. The University of California, while chartered in 1868 by the state Legislature, was mostly formed and fashioned as to its mission, structure and governance by the vision, fortitude and personality of four of its presidents – Daniel Coit Gilman (1872-1875); Benjamin Ide Wheeler (1899-1919); Robert Gordon Sproul (1930-1958); and Clark Kerr (1958-1967).

  • A New Starr in Berkeley's Firmament
    — Not for citation without permission — A New Starr in Berkeley’s Firmament: The Dedication of the C. V. Starr East Asian Library and the Chang-Lin Tien Center for East Asian Studies Opening of the C. V. Starr East Asian Library University of California, Berkeley October 17, 2007 Berkeley, California Pauline Yu President, American Council of Learned Societies As you may know, I received my doctorate—a few years ago, now—from Stanford University, fierce rival of Berkeley at Big Game every fall. And I spent almost 10 years as dean at the University of California, Los Angeles, which has chafed at being considered this campus’s ”Southern Branch” since its founding in 1919. So why am I here? There are extremely compelling reasons for me to resist participating in the dedication of yet another splendid building on this already impossibly beautiful campus with every fiber of my being. And yet, to the contrary, I am both pleased and honored to take part in this morning’s program along with my distinguished colleagues. We’re here, after all, to celebrate something whose significance transcends even the noblest of petty rivalries, a true milestone in the academic world: the construction of the first freestanding East Asian library in North America. It will also house the Chang-Lin Tien Center for East Asian Studies, named for Chancellor Tien, who was so devoted to his engineering lab he often made it—and not his home—his first stop after returning to Berkeley from a trip. This morning we inaugurate a great laboratory for the humanities and social sciences.

  • Chapter 2: Why the University? a Uniquely Positioned Institution
    2 Why the University? A Uniquely Positioned Institution To modern ears, Grover Cleveland’s assertion “When I was in trouble and needed help, I usually turned to the University of Michigan” and such speeches as Woodrow Wilson’s “Princeton in the Nation’s Ser- vice” may border on platitudes.1 After all, it has been commonplace to find universities promoting their “service,” allowing faculty to take sabbaticals to work in government posts, and inviting public figures to address commencement. However, in their time, these presidents’ words reflected a new role for higher education. The conception of the emerging university as an institution directly involved in the political, economic, and industrial development of the nation was essentially new, replacing the antebellum belief that col- leges should primarily produce theological leaders and upstanding local citizens. Debate certainly had existed about what was meant by a college education and about how best to develop character and moral- ity among students. Nonetheless, the scale and reach of American higher education was appreciably smaller in the colonial, Revolution- ary, Jacksonian, and antebellum eras. Some people—most notably, Henry Phillip Tappan (at the University of Michigan in the 1850s)—did attempt to bring the “university idea” to America before the Civil War. However, not until the founding of Johns Hopkins University in 1876 and the passage of the Morrill Acts in 1862 and 1890 did the national research university, focused on supporting the American state and directly serving the government, became an established alternative to the local college, focused on building morality and serving God. To fully appreciate the role of the university in the development of the new American state, one must appreciate the massive institutional change that transformed American higher education.

  • Charles Sheldon Hastings 1848-1932
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XX—ELEVENTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF CHARLES SHELDON HASTINGS 1848-1932 BY HORACE S. UHLER PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 1938 CHARLES SHELDON HASTINGS 1848-1932 BY HORACE S. UHLER Charles Sheldon Hastings was born at Clinton, New York, on November 27, 1848.1 His New England ancestry included an unusual proportion of professional men, particularly physi- cians. One of his great grandfathers, Dr. Seth Hastings, was born at Hatfield, Massachusetts, in 1745. After transferring his home to Washington, Connecticut, an eldest son was born to him in 1780 and given the name Seth, Jr. This grandfather of the subject of the present memoir subsequently moved to Clinton, New York, where he also practiced medicine and be- came, in the year 1816, the father of Panet Marshall Hastings. The latter graduated from Hamilton College at the age of twenty two, became a very prominent physician in Clinton, and gave lectures on anatomy and physiology at his alma mater. In the year 1843 ^>r- P- M- Hastings married Jane Sheldon, a lady whose forebears were likewise sterling representatives of New England. About five years later this couple became the parents of Charles Sheldon, and when he was approximately six years old they changed to a permanent residence in Hart- ford, Connecticut. In this city Hastings received his early training in the public schools and passed from the Hartford High School to the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University in the fall of 1867. From this Institution he received the degree of Ph.B.

  • On Starting a University. Roger Revelle
    \ / '. On Starting a University Roger Revelle Harvard Center for Population Studies 9 Bow Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 During the seven years from 1955 to 1961 I experienced the fierce joys of helping to found a new university. As with most things one does for the first time -- making love, becoming a father, getting a Ph. D. -- this task was approached with more enthusiasm than knowledge. Lovers and fathers can try again, and apply what they have learned; some people even study for another doctor's degree; but people who start universities are unlikely to have a second chance to practice their craft or art. Nevertheless, the experience, though amateurish and described herein impressionistically, may bring enlighten- ment to others. In the beginning my colleagues and I did not mean to start a un.i- versity, our aims were less exalted. We were members of the faculty of tre >:: Scripps Institution of Oceanography , an isolated research and graduate teaching laboratory of the University of California. The nearest major universities were in Los Angeles, 120 miles away from our location in the San Diego suburb of La Jolla. Our students coming up as doctoral candidates were examined by committees appointed by the graduate dean at UCLA, and they rarely did very well. We thought tl".Ls was due in large part to our own narrow specialization and to the lack of an atmosphere of fundamental science in La Jolla. It seemed : the creation of a graduate school of science and engineering to us that we could overcome our difficulties by an academic inventiont-- a kind of publicly-supported Caltech -- located as near as possible to the Scripps Institution.

  • 3 the Morrill Act of 1862 and Coordination Shaping the American University and the American State
    3 The Morrill Act of 1862 and Coordination Shaping the American University and the American State A variety of forces drove the emergence of the American university, the expansion of the American national state, and their shared devel- opment. While no single event was the catalyst, the origins of such development can be traced to the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862. Beyond being the most extensive and ambitious federal education pro- gram undertaken to that point in time, the Morrill Act helped spur the coordination and entrepreneurship that would be essential for the for- mation of research universities and for these universities’ evolving ser- vice both to and with the national state. The Morrill Act and the Origins of Entrepreneurship The American university’s fundamental contribution to policy and governance stemmed from institutional coordination and entrepre- neurial maximization of resources. The roots of this contribution lay in a Vermont congressman’s stubborn pursuit of agricultural legislation. A shopkeeper from Burlington, who received no formal education beyond the age of fifteen, Justin Morrill originally introduced his plan to establish agricultural colleges in 1857. The legislation passed both houses but was vetoed by President James Buchanan. Five years later, Morrill tried again. With the southern delegations having already seceded, Morrill’s legislation this time passed as the first piece of an extensive Republican development program.1 47 48 Ivory Towers and Nationalist Minds The Morrill Act provided land grants
