PRESIDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Regents of the University of Arizona,
Tucson, Arizona:
As president of the University I have the honor to
make the following report for the year ending Decem-
ber 31, 1910, concerning matters touching the conditions
and polic} of the institution, as prescribed by the laws
of Arizona. In no department of instruction or re-
search has there been failure to continue the steady
progress noted in the reports of recent years. The col-
lege registration increases, the revenues from the Federal
government are enlarged, additions are made to the
faculty, and improvements are made to the physical
plant of the University. Best of all, the spirit of the
whole institution, including students and faculty, is
sounder, healthier, stronger and more definitely directed
toward scholarly aims, than at any time during the last
seven years. In an institution like this, where the per-
sonnel changes as rapidly as the varied population of
the commonwealth, such betterment of the attitude
and understanding of the different elements of the com-
munity towards each other and towards the great work
of the University, operating persistently and cumu-
latively for so long a period, is peculiarly gratifying.
It means both efficiency and momentum in the right
direction. One of the chief causes contributing to this
establishment of a higher level or standard is undoubt-
edly the complete emancipation of the University from
2 PRESIDENT S REPORT
political influences of every sort; for more than seven
years — of the time before 1903 I can not speak from
personal knowledge — the Board of Regents has co-
operated in the most cordial and active fashion with
the president and faculty of the University to main-
tain a system of administration based solely upon merit.
Another reason for the improvement is found in
the development of high schools in the territory. Since
my last report, in which this matter was discussed,
another high school has been organized at Willcox,
and at least three of the newer high schools have grad-
uated their first four-years classes. From all three of
these schools the University received students into the
freshman class, without examinations save in English
Composition, thus giving them provisional accrediting.
It is already clear that the standards of work in the dif-
ferent high schools vary more than the local conditions
make necessary, but at the present time it seems inad-
visable for the University to enforce a scheme of rigid
uniformity. The schools are still yourg, they are ex-
perimenting with problems of organization and of adapt-
ation to the needs and prejudices of their constituents.
The students graduated in the first class under the cir-
cumstances of the first four years of any new school can
hardly be called the real normal product of such school.
They have probably been gathered together from many
sources, and perhaps have taken only one or two years
in the high school graduating them. As the schools
become more settled and find themselves, it may rea-
sonably be expected that their standards of graduation
and of recommendation will grow more uniform and
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 3
conform to the requirements established throughout
the West.
In the work of organizing and developing these high
schools, the University has ever been ready, whenever
asked, with its advice and help, in assisting in shaping
the course of study, in obtaining teachers and principals
and in conferring about the work of the school in actual
operation. I count it as one of the most valuable things
I have been able to do here that I could aid in this de-
velopment of the secondary schools, not merely as feed-
ers to the University, but as places where sound educa-
tion can be given to boys and girls still in the wholesome
surroundings of home, after they have completed the
grammar school course, places where the outlook of the
boys and girls on life may be broadened and the problem
of making a life as well as making a living squarely faced,
whether they mean to go on to college or to go into busi-
ness or industry.
So satisfactory has been the progress of the system
of high schools both in their scope and in their distribu-
tion in the territory, that it is safe to assume that the
first year at least of the Preparatory Department of
the University may be dropped at an early date without
working hardship upon any considerable fraction of the
population of Arizona who have proper claims to in-
struction by the University. I am convinced that this
dropping of one year could be done wisely at the end of
the present academic year, provision being made for
such coaching as might be needed by those mature,
earnest students who have awakened late to the neces-
sity for a more solid foundation and more thorough
preparation for their chosen occupations. These stu-
4 PRESIDENT'S report
dents, by their maturity and purposefulness, even though
they may have been long out of school, are able to do
this work at a more rapid rate than those who would
ordinarily take the same work in regular course. Some
of the most satisfactory students who have received
degrees from the University have completed their pre-
paration in just this manner.
FACULTY.
The changes in the faculty for the year 1910 were
more numerous than during the preceding year. While
some of the minor changes were made because of the
shifting emphasis on portions of the work of certain
departments, like modern languages and English, no
change was made because of dissatisfaction with the
work of any instructor, and most of the changes were
made at the desire of the persons concerned.
Edwin Mortimer Blake, Ph. D., professor of mathe-
matics and mechanical engineering, after six years of
peculiarly efficient and loyal service to the University
and in the community, resigned to go into business in
New York City, his connection ceasing August 31.
William B. McCallum, Ph. D., Associate Botanist
of the Agricultural Experiment Station, resigned to
accept an appointment in the service of one of the great
rubber-producing companies of Mexico, his resignation
becoming effective June 30.
The service of the following instructors, under an-
nual appointment, terminated August 31, unless other-
wise noted :
Caroline Bates Singleton, A. B., in English, to study
abroad.
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS.
Helen J. Aldrich, Ph. D., in modern languages, upon
becoming Mrs. F. L. Kleeberger.
Frances E. Crowell, in music, April 30, upon be-
coming Mrs. A. V. Grossetta.
Lurena Merriman, preceptress, to accept a position
in the Hawaiian Islands.
Elizabeth E. Roberts, A. B., in German (half-time).
Ethelbert Webb Waldron, A. B., in English.
John Isaacson, in mechanic arts.
New appointments for the current year were as
follows :
Nathan C. Grimes, M. S., a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, and, at the time of his appointment,
instructor in the University of Wisconsin, to be professor
of mathematics.
Frances Melville Perry, M. A., a graduate of Butler
College, and for several years past assistant professor
of English in Wellesley, to be assistant professor of Eng-
lish and principal of the Preparatory Department.
Louise Peters, M. A., a graduate of the Universities
of California and Colorado, and several years instructor
in Iowa State College, to be instructor in Spanish
and German.
Josephine Mack, A. B., of Lake Forest University,
to be instructor in English and assistant in physical
training (half-time).
Mrs. Ida T. Underhill, from a similar position in
Occidental College, to be preceptress in West Cottage.
Angela O'Byrne, to be instructor in music, Oct. 21.
Charles H. Clark, B. S., of North Dakota Agricul-
tural College, to be assistant plant breeder, in the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
6 president's report
Alexander McOmie, B. S., of the Agricultural College
of Utah, to be assistant agriculturist in the Agricultural
Experiment Station.
Bert A. Snow, B. S., of Colorado Agricultural Col-
lege and M. S. of Cornell University, to be instructor in
mechanical and electrical engineering.
Mrs. Ida W. Douglass, instructor in physical geo-
graphy, October 6.
It will be noticed that these are chiefly changes in
instructorships rather than in professorships, a fact that
signifies stability in the ranks of those who constitute
the permanent faculty. One reason for this satisfactory
condition lies in the adoption by the Board of Regents
some years ago, of the policy of granting sabbatical
leaves on three-fifths pay to those of professorial rank
who have served in that capactiy here for six or more
years. Because of personal and other reasons, strict
precedence on the basis of length of service has not yet
been established. Two men who are entitled to leave
with pay declined to take it in turn, but they expect to
take it an at early date. During the year leaves were
granted to G. E. P. Smith, irrigation engineer of the
Agricultural Experiment Station, for twelve months for
the study of irrigation in northern Italy and of pumps
and pumping machinery at the University of Wisconsin,
and also to Dr. A. E. Vinson, biochemist of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, for six months, for study
and research in Paris.
These sabbatical years or half-years can no longer
be looked upon as privileges for which professors must
beg, but rather as rights which they have earned and
which they may enjoy in turn, subject always to the
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 7
larger interests of the University as to the exact year to
be taken. The number absent at any one time should,
of course, never be a large proportion of the faculty,
which means a reasonable distribution of the right. The
payments made during these sabbatical years are just
as much earned as are the payments for the other years.
They are in the nature of deferred payments, and pro-
fessors newly appointed, and those who are promoted
from inferior ranks, rightly consider the enjoyment of
the sabbatical leave in due time as a part of the terms
of their engagement with the University. The gain to
to the University, as well as to the professor, is obvious,
for the sabbatical is almost invariably used for study and
research rather than mere recreation and travel.
In various ways the members of the faculty are
rendering distinct services to the public outside the
boundaries of the campus, thus keeping the University
in closer touch with the problems and interests of the
territory as a whole. Director R. H. Forbes of the
Experiment Station served by appointment of the Gov-
ernor upon the Arizona Horticultural Commission, and
upon him as secretary has depended no small part of
the success of that body in protecting the horticultural
interests. Professor C. F. Tolman, head of the Depart-
ment of Geology, is preparing for the United States
Geological Survey, under regular contract with the
Federal government, the Tucson sheet, which includes
the important region in which so much prospecting is
going on in Pima county. This work will probably ab-
sorb much of Professor Tolman's spare time for two
years, and will reflect great credit upon the department
and the University. The Departments of Metallurgy
8 president's report
and Mineralogy continue the making of qualitative and
quantitative tests of rocks and ores submitted by persons
from different parts of the territory, while the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station serves in similar fashion in
the examination and analysis of water, milk, plants, etc.
During the last year, also, I have assisted the Ter-
ritorial Board of Education, of which I am ex-officio a
member, in the making of a new course of study for
Arizona schools, especially in the preparation and re-
vision of those sections relating to history and geography,
and in editing the manuscript for publication. In the
course of the calendar year I have represented the Uni-
versity of Arizona at the Jubilee Commencement of the
University of California, celebrating the Fiftieth Anni-
versary of the College of California; at the meeting of
the National Association of State Universities, and at
the meeting of the Association of Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment Stations, both of which were held in
Washington, D. C, the middle of November.
The usual list of published writings of members of
the faculty is submitted in an Appendix. The activities
of our staff in this particular seem to me to be highly
commendable, both from the nature and the extent of
their contributions. I doubt if there are many univer-
sities in the country whose faculty would show a larger
percentage of persons contributing directly to the litera-
ture of their several fields.
THE GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.
The steady improvement of the campus under the
skillful and devoted management of the Superintendent
of Grounds and Buildings, Mr. W. M. Cole, is noted by
all who have occasion to visit the campus from time to
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 9
time. The investment of money in clearing and grading,
planting of trees, development of garden areas and the
extension of drives has more than justified itself in the
eyes of the public. Seven years ago the visitor to the
campus made his way from town either by a rickety
street car, running on an uncertain schedule over a
shaky track, through an ungraded, weedy street, or by
a sinuous trail across arroyas and through greasewood
to the entrance of the campus. The fence along the front
of the campus was a staggering line of discarded railroad
ties, held together by rusty barbed wire. Today the
University campus is approached by various well-graded
streets and the visitor leaving the electric car enters by
a dignified gateway into what is really the best park in
the city. The whole west frontage of the campus has
a substantial and sightly fence of iron tubing set in
wooden posts. The new planting along the front of the
campus, though suffering severely from the hard freeze of
last January, has made marked progress in the last
twelve months. The various athletic fields for football,
basketball, and tennis have never been in so fine condi-
tion as today, nor so steadily and widely used.
Comparatively little of the funds available for im-
provement has gone into the construction of new build-
ings. The most conspicuous structure completed within
the year is the new reinforced concrete tank for water
storage, which replaces the old wooden tank which had
become a source of danger to the buildings in its vicinity,
as well as to the safety of the water system. The new
tank is circular in form, with a dome-like appearance
distinctly pleasing in its outline. Its capacity is about
sixty thousand gallons as compared with thirty-five
10 president's report
thousand gallons for the old tank, while an additional
ten feet in height increases considerably by its greater
pressure the efficiency of the whole system, both for
ordinary use and for protection against fire. The cost
of the tank with its connections, was approximately
$2,800.00. In conjunction with this improvement of
the water system, the centrifugal pump, which, with its
motor, was located on the 85-foot level in the well, has
been replaced by a triplex plunger pump, installed at the
top of the well, where both the pump and its driving
motor are easitly accessible. The cost of this pump
and its installation was approximately $1,625.00. A
report made by Professor Henley on a test of the pump-
ing plant, November 25th, shows that the efficiency of
the entire plant is about 56 % as against 39% which was
the highest efficiency ever secured from the old pump.
By the most conservative estimate of the average cost
of pumping, both into ditches and into the tank, the cost
of power is reduced by the new pump at least 33%.
Should this advantage continue through a series of years,
the new pump would have paid for itself in four or five
years.
The improvements upon the Rillito farm have gone
on steadily. Besides clearing and leveling, a substan-
tial and sightly fence has been built along the east line.
A concrete cottage has been built for the farm foreman at
a cost of approximately S2,000,00. In connection with
this cottage is an office for instructors whose classes may
be engaged in laboratory work upon the farm. The
plans for the coming year, already authorized by the
Board, contemplate the construction of a dairy barn,
a water tank and a system of pipes for distribution,
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 1 1
and the installation of concrete pipes for the main irri-
gation ditches. The development of the Department of
Agriculture will require the purchase of a herd of dairy
cattle, which will probably be done during the next six
months, and the construction, on the latest and best
plans, of a dairy building for general dairy uses. I am
confident that in the proper management of the farm
by the Department of Agriculture, it may be made to
serve not merely purposes of instruction in the processes
of production and ordinary marketing, but that it may
be made to serve a directly beneficial purpose in sup-
plying the University Dining Hall, with its eighty or
one hundred regular boarders, with milk, butter, eggs,
poultry, and some other meats, as well as vegetables and
garden fruits, which are now purchased at the ordinary
and somewhat exorbitant local prices.
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.
Investigational work of the Agricultural Experi-
ment Station during the past year has continued on the
same high plane as heretofore. Perhaps the most note-
worthy feature of the year is the completion of the work
of the Irrigation Engineer on the subject of underflow of
neighboring streams. The results of these investiga-
tions were published in Bulletin No. 64, "Ground Water
Supply and Irrigation in the Rillito Valley," a piece of
work most creditable to Professor Smith and the Uni-
versity. Several other bulletins of the same high grade
of excellence, representing several years of work, espec-
ially one by Professor Thornber on "The Grazing Ranges
of Arizona," will appear at an early day.
Mention should also be made of the promising in-
vestigations now in progress under the direction of Mr.
12 president's report
G. F. Freeman, Plant Breeder of the Station, upon the
improvement of the varieties of alfalfa adapted to the
regions of Southern Arizona. He has also been carrying
on investigations relative to the varieties of beans grown
by the Papago Indians, according to dry farming
methods.
The long series of experiments with date culture
seems to have reached a conclusion in the nature of a
positive demonstration that Southern Arizona can grow
many varieties of dates in a manner commercially profit-
able, and furthermore, that the finest varieties, which
hitherto have seemed rather ill-adapted to the seasons
of Arizona, can be made by artificial methods, devised
through the science and ingenuity of Dr. Vinson, work-
ing along chemical lines, and Mr. Freeman, working
by physical or incubating methods, to ripen in a
highly satisfactory manner. The product of the date
orchard for the season just closed has been readily mar-
keted, and about $1,200 received though this was by no
means an extraordinary crop. Too much praise can
not be given to Director Forbes for the persistence,
patience and resourcefulness which he has devoted to
developing this particular industry. Other features of
the work of the Station, such as the work in sheep breed-
ing, range investigation, dry farming in Cochise and
Navajo counties, and truck farming, have been carried
on as in former years. Details of the operations and
finances of the Station for the year ending June 30, 1910,
will be found in the attached Annual Report of that
section of the University.
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 13
It seems to me clear, from observing the tendencies
of recent years that the University will find that its
greatest immediate enlargement of usefulness in the
direction of developing its work in agricultural instruc-
tion and investigation. At the present time, the condi-
tion of the mining industry and of enterprises, other
than irrigation, demanding the services of civil engineers,
would hardly warrant expectation of increased registra-
tion in engineering courses. The development of irri-
gated lands in the great valleys, especially in those under
reclamation projects, means steady growth in the agri-
cultural population. Only a small percentage of new-
comers have been trained to intensive farming under
irrigation al conditions. They must learn their methods
here, and in teaching them and in supplying their
leaders, the University will find one of its most import-
ant services to individuals and to the commonwealth.
FINANCES.
The tabulations of Income and Expenditures, which
will be found in the Appendixes, show small variation
from the figures of last year, though the scheduled
increases have been made in the Morrill-Nelson Fund
and the Hatch-Adams Fund received from the Federal
Government. During the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1910, the Morrill-Nelson Fund will be $45,000.00, with
one more increase of $5,000.00 to be made; the Hatch-
Adams Fund reaches its maximum of $30,000.00; the bi-
ennial appropriations made by the Territorial Legislature
continue as heretofore, $35,000.00 for maintenance,
$11,500.00 for improvements, and $6,550.00 for the
Agricultural Experiment Station. The income from
the Douglass Endowment Fund for instruments for
14 president's report
scientific research, when the interest due January 1st
has been paid, will amount to about $640.00.
No provision for such expenditures for maintenance
and improvement as must be met by territorial appro-
priation, has been made for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1911. The prohibition of any meeting of the
legislature before January, 1912, made by the Statehood
Bill will require some extraordinary measures to be
taken to raise funds for running the University after
December, 1911. The system by which current revenues
from the territory are provided would make it possible
for the University to continue through 1911 on the funds
which will result from taxes payable during the current
month. It is hoped that such arrangements will be
made by a special Act of Congress, or in some other
manner, so that no interruption of the work of the
University will occur through lack of necessary revenues.
Beginning with the new college year in September
several changes in fees, duly authorized by the Board of
Regents, went into effect. The matriculation or inci-
dental fee of $5 was made payable annually by all stu-
dents upon registration, and the maintenance fee for
students residing upon the campus was abolished. All
students were also required upon registration to pay a
fee for the support of physical training, $5 for men and
$3 for women, thus creating the Physical Training Fund,
to be handled in the same way as the Contingent Fund
and "expended by the President in co-operation with
the Athletic Association of the University for the pro-
motion of Physical Training, provided that, in return
for the payment of claims duly authorized and approved
by said Association, to the amount of the annual pay-
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 15
ments into such fund, said Association shall agree to
exempt from all dues persons paying such fee, and to
admit such persons free to all games and athletic con-
tests given in Tucson under the name of the University,
except the Thanksgiving football game or such game as
may be substituted for it." The Association complied
with the terms of the stipulation, and, with the approval
cf the Executive Council of the Association the new fund,
amounting to about $700, was apportioned as follows:
Football, 45%, baseball, 25%; basketball, 10%; tennis,
10% ; field and track sports, 10% . As a further support
of the athletic interests cf the University, the Board has
voted to transfer, when practicable, the sum of $300
from the Contingent Fund to the Physical Training Fund.
NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
First, the restoration of the mill-tax for the support
of the University, by which the revenues for maintenance
will increase with the assessed valuation of theTerritory,
and, presumably, with the growth of population. The
new demands of an expanding institution, which is still
in the formative stage, require an annual increment of
about $3,000 per year.
Second, a new metallurgical or mill building for
the departments of mining engineering and metallurgy,
to take the place of the present wooden unsightly struc-
ture which has always been looked upon as a makeshift.
For this purpose at least $25,000 should ultimately be
expended.
Third, an auditorium with a seating capacity of
700 or 1,000, with provision for student lounging and
amusement rooms, which the institution very greatly
needs. There are at least seven high schools in Arizona
16 president's report
far better equipped with respect to assembly halls than
is the University whose only place of meeting, when
specially seated, is the Gymnasium. This building
would cost not less than $20,000.
Fourth, a new museum building or a considerable
enlargement of the quarters of the library, which will
soon reach the overflowing stage in its present half of
the Library and Museum Building. Such a museum
building, with rooms for the classes in geology could be
built for $10,000.
Fifth, the completion of North Hall, the dormitory
for college men, at an estimated cost of $8,000, and
greatly increased acecomodations for the young women
since West Cottage and its Annex are already outgrown.
TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
With this report, my eighth as president of the
University of Arizona, my connection with Arizona will
come to an end, smce my resignation has been accepted
and made effective on this date, in order to enable me
to undertake the work of a new office in the United States
Bureau of Education, that of Specialist in Higher Edu-
cation, which seems to offer a peculiarly attractive
opportunity for constructive influence of a high order
with a national scope and adequate support. It has
been a great privilege to serve under the direction of the
Boards of Regents who have more than fulfilled the con-
ditions under which I took up the work in Arizona in
1903. More cordial and sympathetic support and co-
operation could not have been given by any body than
I have received here. To share in the upbuilding of the
University during these years has been a high privilege,
filled with pleasure and satisfaction as well as with
TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS. 17
burdens and responsibilities. I can wish for my successor
no higher wish than that he may enjoy, with Board,
Faculty, and public, a continuing and enlarged oppor-
tunity to serve in the educational and civic development
of the Commonwealth of Arizona.
Very respectfully submitted,
Kendric Charles Babcock,
