The Stanford University has more stu
dents ON Its class-rolls than the State Uni
yersity has in actual attendance al Berkeley,
but 10 make the comparison complete,
account should be taken in connection with
the latter OF the students in attendance at
affiliated colleges. These extramural STU
dents are as much entitled TO be considered
enrolled as those WHO study at Berkeley
When their course is finished they are
graduates OF Berkeley. Including the stu
dents at the College Of Medicine, College of
Pharmacy, College of Dentistry. College of
Law and at the Lick astronomical depart-
ment there Is total of 9lS, of whom 529 are

affiliated institutions are IN the care Of over
seventy professors. There are twenty-eight

San Jose is taking steps to open public
art gallery. The collection of works pre-

other public-minded citizens 1t will be an
easy matter 10 extend the fabric. An art
gallery cannot, If representative Of living
art, be completed all AT once. Room has TO

the modern schools. The principle 10 act
upon is TO accept all that is good to begin
with ana to keep an earnest outlook for
worthy additions 1t would be an exhibit

the other cities Of California in the same
manner TO emulate the example set by San
Jose There are pictures in San Francisco

usual crumb OF Information from Govern
ment quarters. Having uttered its dictum,
however, the effect Will be good on the
classes who ara influential in English pub
lie affairs. But it need be no surprise TO the
obseryant if the 'Thunderer" fops over
and stultfes itself on the sealing question.
