The Pacific Coast in particular still lingered in the epoch of exploitation of its rich natural resources in gold and silver, grain, cattle, and timber. The occupation of chemist meant to the general public little more than that of assayer of gold and silver, or pharmacist. Outside of mining, the chemical industries were few and were conducted primitively and on tra- ditionally established lines. Indeed, the chemical industries of the whole United States were largely contented to depend upon th...e scientific and technical achievements of Europe. Those were years of sacrifice and of many trials for the little band of teachers with advanced concepts of university education and for their relatively few but very earnest supporters in Cali- fornia. Isolated by distance from sympathetic co-workers in the Eastern States, struggling against public apathy, and battling (5) against attempts to obstruct their aims or to divert from the young University its needed financial support, their disappoint- ments were frequent and their discouragements many.
