REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

To the President of the University of California;

Sir: In submitting to you the work of the Department of Agriculture of the University of California for the year ending June 30, 1914, it seems desirable to emphasize the motives and purposes which have guided the members of the staff. The founders of the Smithsonian Institution, established at Washington, D. C., in 1846, declared their purpose to be the creation and diffusion of knowledge. It was not to be judicial, legislative, nor executive. Thus a new function of national import was created. In like manner it is the purpose of the Department of Agriculture of the University of California to discover and instruct, but not to control nor direct. The Department seeks to find the truth as it relates to agricultural methods and processes and by various means of education to instruct as many persons as possible in the results of research obtained by this and other agricultural experiment stations. Its means of education may be divided into two groups: internal and external.

INTERNAL INSTRUCTION

The internal instruction of the Department of Agriculture may be divided into four types: (1) Post-graduate instruction leading to a master's or doctor's degree, which may be taken at Berkeley, Davis, Riverside, Whittier, or El Centro. (2) Undergraduate instruction leading to a bachelor's degree and requiring four years, which may be taken at Berkeley or in part at Berkeley and in part at Davis. Students may major in seventeen groups of subjects. (3) University Farm School instruction at Davis, for which a certificate is given at the completion of three years' work. (4) Short course instruction of six weeks at Davis, occurring usually in October and November, and open to all persons over eighteen years of age, without academic requirements. During the year, 1913-14, the attendance upon these several types of instruction has been as follows:
