STUDY AND RESEARCH AT THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE 127
tributions from more than sixty individuals, industrial concerns,
and labor unions. The study of industrial relations was added to the
curriculum of the Institute largely because engineers must deal with
men as well as with machines and material. The program of the
Industrial Relations Sections is fourfold: (1) to provide class instruction;
a course for seniors and one for graduate students are now
being given; (2) to arrange periodic conferences for the discussion
of labor problems; (3) to conduct field and research studies in industrial
relations; and (4) to build up a library of materials relating
to such problems.
In addition to the regular staff of the Institute, several scholars
from other institutions are giving instruction or lectures in the
Division of the Humanities during the current year. Among these
are Mr. Godfrey Davies, Dr. Edwin F. Gay, Mr. Edward A. Whitney,
Dr. Louis B. Wright, of the Huntington Library; Professor William
Haller, of Columbia University, Research Fellow of the Huntington
Library; Mr. Daniel Berkeley Updike, founder and director of the
Merrymount Press; Dr. Alfred Noyes, formerly Professor of Modern
English Literature at Princeton University; Professor E. L. Thorndike,
of Columbia University; Professor Ralph Barton Perry, of
Harvard University; and Professor Robert Ross, of Stanford University.
It is anticipated that with the opportunities for research in
English Literature and American History which are afforded by the
proximity of the Huntington Library, the instruction given at the
Institute in these fields will be steadily strengthened by the association
of visiting scholars.
