In 1912, Bray moved across the country to join Gilbert N. Lewis’s group at the University of California, Berkeley.
Here, in addition to continuing his research activity, he played a prominent part in developing the methods in both undergraduate and graduate instruction which have had wide influence throughout the United States. It was the conviction of Lewis, eagerly adopted by his young colleagues, that research and teaching should be regarded as allies, not enemies, that one must begin right in the freshman course in order to develop graduate students eager and able in research[1].
