FAVORING THE BILL.
The Alumni Association Endorses the
University Appropriation.

A meeting of the Alumni Association Of
the University of California was held
last night at the Office of Reinstein &
Eisner. The object of the meeting was
10 take some measure to support the bill
now before the Legislature providing for
an appropriation OF $500 for the extern
sion Of the work Of the university.
1t is the intention of the university re-
gents TO erect suitable building in San
Francisco for the accommodation OF the
affiliated departments. the chief of which
are the medical, dental, pharmaceutical and
law colleges, which are scattered over the
city In unsuitable places. If the appr0pri-
alton is given, the new building will be
erected somewhere in the neighborhood OF
the new City Hall, and will be so arranged
as TO not only accommodate the four de-
partments named but any other branches
Of university work that may be required.
1t was the general opinion of the gentle
men at the meeting that the bill should re-
ceive every support, and the following reso-
luton was the outcome:
WHEREAS, The University of California has
long needed accommodations for its affiliated
colleges and instructors in San Francisco and a
bill has been int oductd at tue present session
OF the Legislature providing for an appropria ion
and whereas. such building would greatly
promote the interests of education aud rebound

the deck.

met Carter.
