    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.

    The Flowering of Natural History Institutions in California Barbara Ertter Reprinted from Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences Volume 55, Supplement I, Article 4, pp. 58-87 Copyright © 2004 by the California Academy of Sciences Reprinted from PCAS 55(Suppl. I:No. 4):58-87. 18 Oct. 2004. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Volume 55, Supplement I, No. 4, pp. 58–87, 23 figs. October 18, 2004 The Flowering of Natural History Institutions in California Barbara Ertter University and Jepson Herbaria, University of California Berkeley, California 94720-2465; Email: [email protected] The genesis and early years of a diversity of natural history institutions in California are presented as a single intertwined narrative, focusing on interactions among a selection of key individuals (mostly botanists) who played multiple roles. The California Academy of Sciences was founded in 1853 by a group of gentleman schol- ars, represented by Albert Kellogg. Hans Hermann Behr provided an input of pro- fessional training the following year. The establishment of the California Geological Survey in 1860 provided a further shot in the arm, with Josiah Dwight Whitney, William Henry Brewer, and Henry Nicholas Bolander having active roles in both the Survey and the Academy. When the Survey foundered, Whitney diverted his efforts towards ensuring a place for the Survey collections within the fledgling University of California. The collections became the responsibility of Joseph LeConte, one of the newly recruited faculty. LeConte developed a shared passion for Yosemite Valley with John Muir, who he met through Ezra and Jeanne Carr. Muir also developed a friendship with Kellogg, who became estranged from the Academy following the contentious election of 1887, which was purportedly instigated by Mary Katherine Curran.

  • Higher Education in Brazil: the Expansion of Public 3-Year
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.4.15 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ HOW AND WHY THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA GOT ITS AUTONOMY April 2015 John Aubrey Douglass∗ UC Berkeley Copyright 2015 John Aubrey Douglass, all rights reserved. ABSTRACT The University of California became a “public trust” in 1879 as part of a larger revision of California’s Constitution approved by California voters. The University henceforth gained the exclusive power to operate, control, and administer the University of California, becoming virtually a fourth branch of state government, a "constitutional corporation . equal and coordinate with the legislature, the judiciary and the executive. It was a watershed moment in the history of California’s land-grant public university, fundamentally shaping the state’s subsequent development of the nations, and the world’s, first coherent approach to building a mass higher education system. Status as a public trust set UC on a spectacular course, helping it to create an internal academic culture and drive to meet the socioeconomic needs of the state relatively free of the often contentious political interventions found in many other states. UC emerged as one of the most productive and prestigious university systems in the world. Yet over the past six or so decades, the unusual status of the university’s governing board has been on occasions a source of frustration for lawmakers who have wanted to be more directly involved in controlling and formulating university policy, from admissions practices and tuition, to how funds are raised and spent, what academic programs UC should or should not provide, and proposals to revise the membership and authority of the Regents.

  • Loafer's Guide to the U.C. Berkeley Campus file:///Volumes/Music and Pictures/All Writing/Loafers Guide/In
    Loafer's Guide to the U.C. Berkeley Campus file:///Volumes/music and pictures/all writing/loafers guide/in... A LOAFER’S GUIDE TO THE U.C. BERKELEY CAMPUS b Caroln Doughert (last updated November 2004) Introduction, 2000 I started this book while attending graduate school at Berkeley in 1987, and completed the manuscript (to the extent that it is completed) in 1994, at which time I was living in the Midwest and was unable to show it to anyone who might have been interested. As I state in the following Prolog, a book like this is dated before it's begun-in the six years since I finished it several buildings have been demolished and several more of varying quality and prominence have been added to the campus. Departments have moved, services have disappeared and others have been created. And many of the places I mention, like the lobby of Hearst Mining and the Environmental Design library, are currently closed while undergoing renovation or seismic retrofit. I'm hoping, though, that the information in this book will be useful and entertaining to people who either remember what the campus used to be like (or want to know) and people who will find that many of the things I describe can still be found on campus. I'd like to encourage anyone who has additional information to add, or who would like to take on the task of updating this manuscript, to contact me at carolyn dot webmail at ntlworld dot com. Enjoy the book, and have fun exploring our beautiful and historic campus.

With humble beginnings, the core of the Arts and Crafts/Mission style building was conceived by Bernard Maybeck as a simple clubhouse which was nestled in a tree lined glade. Harmonious additions and alterations were designed by John Galen Howard, Warren Perry, Winfield Wellington, Michael Goodman, as well as Downs and Lagorio. More than a building, the Faculty Club has hosted numerous discussions which have, no doubt, had effects on the world as we know it today. I. HISTORIC STRUCTURE REPORT A.
