Staff and Equipment and Students at Berkeley. 



The expert agricultural staff of Department of Agriculture of the 

 University of California numbers 165. 



In general, the staff is provided with five commodious rooms and 

 generous equipment. 



The staff is divided into eighteen divisions, as before indicated, each 

 division being in charge of a professor, and each division being provided 

 with separate teaching and research laboratories. 



The number of students taking the agricultural course at Berkeley 

 last year was 637. This year there has been a drop to 300, because of 

 the calls made by the first draft for military service. 



The total number of students in regular attendance at the University 

 of California in normal times is 7,000. 



In addition to the numbers attending the four years' agricultural 

 course at Berkeley, 314 students took the course at Davis, and 250 

 students were enrolled for short courses, making a total of over 1,000 

 for 1917.
