California, U: Department of Anthropology of the University

Excerpt from The Department of Anthropology of the University of California

The following account of the Department of Anthropology of the University of California has been compiled in order to preserve for future reference the history of the inception and establishment of the Department, and to present a statement of what has been accomplished during the first four years of its existence.

In the plans which Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst caused to be made as suggestions for the gradual architectural development of the University a large building for a museum is one of the promi nent features of the scheme. The time must come when such a museum will be established on the University grounds. In this museum will be exhibited series of collections illustrative of the history of man, as exemplified by his osseous remains, his mental conceptions, and the work of his hands, from his primitive con dition to his accomplishments in the highest intellectual and artistic realms.
