The University Library The libraries of the University now contain 360,000 bound volumes which are mainly housed in the Uni- versity Library, the bequest of Charles Franklin Doe. Other buildings on the campus contain working de- partmental libraries: Agriculture, Chemistry, Law, Zoology, etc. On the first floor above are the two large reading rooms, accommodating 500 and 300 readers, respectively. From the delivery desk, entrance is had into the stock and inner court. In Delivery Hall are displayed photographs of build- ings and grounds at different periods, the faculty and students, trophies, posters, programmes and boguses, and other items of interest particularly to the old graduate. [ 26 ] In the main Beading Boom will be found bound sets of official publications of the University, and of student periodicals. The Bancroft Library One of the notable possessions of the University of California is the collection of materials for the history of Western America which was assembled by the late Hubert Howe Bancroft. Bancroft’s first interest in the history of the Pacific coast was that of a book dealer. He set out later to write a history of Cali- fornia, but his subject led him inevitably into the story of the whole Pacific Slope from Panama to Alaska. The result when completed was thirty-nine large volumes arranged in series under the titles of The Native Races , Central America , Mexico , North Mex- ican States and Texas , Arizona and New Mexico , Cali- fornia, etc. These solid and learned tomes, with their rare bibliographies, stand today as a monument to the greatest feat of co-operative history writing ever per- formed. Bancroft’s influence did not end with the comple- tion of his great history a quarter of a century ago, for his rare library has become the center of historical activities on the Pacific Coast. In 1906 the collection, appraised at half a million, was purchased by the Begents of the University of California for the modest sum of $150,000. For several years it was housed in the attic of California Hall, but was later transferred to the new Doe Library building. There it has become the workshop of one of the largest groups of advanced history students in the country, and the center of a Western “school” of historians of America who have won wide recognition. There can be no reasonable doubt that this is the most remarkable collection of unpublished documentary material at the disposal of students in any American university. The individual manuscript documents which are as yet unprinted may be estimated at two [ 27 ] hundred thousand, and these are continually receiving additions in the form of transcripts from the archives of Mexico and Spain. The manuscripts relate more especially to the history of California, but they also cover the history of Spanish activities in Mexico, Cen- tral America, Louisiana, the Southwest, and the Pacific Coast. In addition to those in the Bancroft Collection, a large private collection of transcripts from Mexican archives relating to the early history of Texas and New Mexico has become available to graduate students of the University. The collection of printed materials on Western and Spanish American history is even richer than those in manuscript. The Library of French Thought The Library of French Thought, presented to the University of California and placed under the patron- age of the Friends of France, was formed for exhibition at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1915. The books which compose it were assembled shortly after the battle of the Marne, at a time when France, after winning an epochal victory, was still fighting for her territory and her very life. Were it only for this fact the Library of French Thought would constitute a prec- ious testimony of the undying spirit of the French nation. With the enemy less than fifty miles from Paris, the French government requested certain French schol- ars to write a series of short studies, followed by bibli- ographies, on the contribution to science made by France in their particular fields. From the works therein enumerated a certain number were selected, classified and sent to San Francisco, where they re- mained available for the public during the Exposition in the Salle de la Fensee Frangaise of the French Pavilion. Thanks to the generosity of the French government and the combined efforts of the Friends of France and [ 28 ] the Regents of the University of California, the collec- tion, after serving part of its purpose during the Expo- sition, has been installed in a special room in the University Library and is now accessible to the gen- eral public and to the university community. The collection was formally dedicated by the Friends of France on September 6 (Lafayette Lay), 1917, the French government being officially represented on the occasion by M. Edouard de Billy, deputy high com- missioner of France to the United States, and three officers of the French army. Open to visitors daily from 11:00 to 12:00 m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. University Extension Division The University Extension Division will display in the East corridor on the main floor of Wheeler Hall a number of the Industrial Exhibits circulated by the Bureau of Visual Instruction and other material illus- trating the character and extent of University Exten- sion work.
