The Chaffey College of Agriculture
49,. nsxt heard from through its Presi-
Ssnt Professor W. f. Wheeler. On the
18th of March, 1888, the corner stone oil
~ college was laid in what was then q
dssart It's success Is very largely Que
N the faithful efforts Of one Of It's trus'
tsea. who gave so much time TO the
work The citizens Of Ontario, as they
have settled there, have been faithful TO
the college, in which they take great
bride. The college was opened last
winter In its academic department Oct:
III 1885. This school is in the hands oil
an excellent teacher and II is rapidly
arow;no in numbers. The method Of
eoverpment was explained in detail. II
was urged that the methods Of disc.-
pline in the primary schools needed rad
| ical improvement before higher educa'
ton can be properly accomplished with,
out undue loss Of time. The agricultural
phases Of the institution and its work
were gone into and explained at length.
| A practical suggestion was made to the
effect that the college should cut up
some OF its lands into villa or town lots
which the students could grade, lay out
and plant, when they could be sold at a
large advance. Some OF these might
| have houses built on them. These cot
| taQes would rent, and thus return q
revenue to the college. The students
could take care Of these places-two OF
them being able to furnish full day Z
work. In this way students could pay
for their tuition. ca
The College of Medicine in Los Ange.
| les was next reported on by DR.. Wild
ney, who said that it was opened about
q year ago. The doctor showed the me-
cessity for such q college in this place so
far removed as 1t is from San Francisco
| and from the east. Great care was ex-
ercised in the organizing OF the college,
all the successful schools of the east be-
ing studied in their plans, and it IS the
intention to furnish here as good q
medical college as any In the United
| States. Provision is made that the
course of studies shall always be kept
up to the standard Of the highest medical
colleges of the country. II only class
OF half dozen Is secured that shall be
well educated. A year ago building
was leased. II may be some time before
it gets a house Of its own. A class OF
| IL has been in attendance. The college
has had no financial help from the uni
versity. A small tuition fee is charged.
| The professors have taught for almost
nothing. A good deal Of apparatus has
been secured. The college now owns
not cent. 1t is hoped that in another
year the college will have building of
| its own A lot is promised on which to
build. The students have done well
| aud contain good material. They have
studied hard.
Senator Maclay not being present,
Judqe Widney stated that the Senator
| had made donation OF $50, 900, and a
deed had been given for college
campus. The foundation is now being
laid, and the plans are drawn for large
building, 40x90 feet, 2-stories and an
attic. The corner stone Is to be laid
July 9Th, and 1t is probable that the
College of Theology win open at San
Fernando next fall.
Rev. E. s. Chase next reported on the
College of San Diego. He reported that
the press Of that city helped the enter
prise forward. First an Academy was
begun at Escondido. This town gave
| 100 lots on condition the school would
build church to cost SIS, 600. vi the
| lots $40. 600 worth were sold, and now
the price is advanced fifty per cent. The
| first building will cost 81, 600 instead OF
$4,000, Then San Diego came in with
her proposition. The details OF this are
not yet made public, but the college will
no 90. There were seventeen other
| places which made propositions tor
| school.
There was no one to speak for the
Tnlars Academy, but . donation of lands
| Is made there worth $4,000 at present
prices. Enough Of these will be sold to
put up builaing and then the lots will
| be held for the natural rise incident to
| the natural growth Of the country, So as
| to give that Institution the benefit OF this
| increase in value.
Rev. r, W. C. Fsrnsworth then read
THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
On 1.-THE best method Of successfully
promoting the educational work OF the
University. This address is, IN part, as
| follows:
The first step to be taken in the task
assigned me is a thankful recognition of
| the work accomplished, and hearty
commentator Of the workers, in the
tirst six years of the history of the Uni
| yersity. The beat has been done that
could be, under the circumstances, by
| thought, toll and sacrifice. Broad, sure
aud wise foundations have been laid for
one of the great educational institutions
Of the world. A laudable pride and
much rejoicing may appropriately be
INDUCED in by all the friends of the
University, aud especially by the chief
| founders, benefsctors and toilers.
The second step is the recognition OF
the fact that we have reached new
epoch in our educational work. We must
pause and consider the vast proportions,
scattered condition, future possibilities
and great responsibilities OF our enter
prise. An immense trust has been com
mitted to us. We must know what we
have on hand and what we are going q
do with il. There must now be read
iustment Of the affairs OF the institution
to the new and enlarged conditions. A
million dollars worth Of property, seven
Institutions in six cities and towns, and
the possibility of additional endowments
and institutions make it necessary that
wo should have more clearly defined
policy, more machinery, and more
workmen than when there was only
one hundred thousand dollars, and thai
ia one place, and furnished with only
one building at cost OF only six thoa-
sand dollars. At this time a few facts
must be clearly recognized and their i'm
portance fully weighed in all our efforts
TO determine the best methods oil pro
noting the educational interests OF the
University.
The method prosidentielly adopted fol-
doing this work is by a series OF insiitu
tons distributed in location and central
lied in organization.
The system on hand is unique one
possibly unknown elsewhere in the bis
tory Of education, and consequent,
there is put upon us the task OF makinl
our own way in important particular
without the experience of other institu
tons 70 guide us.
The educational interests of the Uni
versity are the chief ones with which W
have to do as body Of Christian sduca
tors. They are amongst the leading in
terests Of Southern California, and in
volve worldwide influences. How Il
promote those interests Is a question o
vast importance to us and the genera
ton following in Southern California
to the millions who shall yet have theiI
homes in these sunny lands and out iron
whom as center shall flow over tn
earth the Christian civilization which w
are now helping to fashion. The solu
ton of the auestion demands all our wis
