Something About the Men Who We're
the College ChumS Of Our New
Governor.

The class of '7S, University of Califor-
MIA, is about to celebrate its majority,
though Is is little late. But it so hap
pens that James Il. Budd was a member
of that class, so that there is double rea-
son for holding the first class reunion this
year.
This class of rs was the first one to
spend its entire four years of life in Berke-
ley, and the first one TO hold a Governor in
its list. No wonder the class rather
plumed itself 8: the last alumni banquet.
But this small class banquet Is to be for
members only, and as there are only eleven
of them conversation can be close, per-
sonal and private.
There were twelve members of the class
when they received their diplomas. One
member has died since then. There is q
queer old picture taken at the time when
the sbeepskins were distributed. Eacn

ent 10 shiny broadcloth and hairoil, con-
seious Of his clothes and proud of them.
They were fine set of fellows, and all
have done extremely well during these
important twenty-one years. OF course,
it is not necessary to say anything about
erty now. Peculiar enough, be stood in
the center Of the picture. On his right is
C. j. Wetmore, who became a famous
vineyardist and known for his connection
with the State Vilicultural Association.
At the end of the back row is j. B.
Reinstein. who has become very we'll
known lawyer, prominent among the
younger attorneys. In 1873 he enter ed
Judge Paterson's Office, and sire 1882
has been practicing for himself. He is
the most prominent among the wor kers
for the university among the alumni. He
has been president of the Alumni Asso-
citation for two years, and under his ad-
ministration the association has enjoyed
unparalleled prosperity.

military hoDors, and has since affected a
military cape. He Is an Instructor of
at the A. K P. Harmon place, in Oakland,
having married Mr.. Harmon's only daugh-
ter.
Hawkins and Ainsworth sit next to each
other in The front row. They were the
greatest of ehums all through college.
which fact resulted materially to Haw-
kins' advantage. AinsHorth is the eldest
and after his graduation be went immedi-
ately TO Portland. where all the Aims
worth interests were at that time. He
took his friend, Hawkins with him and
made him bis confidential secretary.
Later, when Alnsworth. pere ct ils, went
10 Redondo and Oakland they left Haw-
kins at the helm in Portland. He still
manages the Ainsworth National Bank at
that place.
Hawkins was one of the most original
types in the class during his university
career. being stout, good-natured and orig
inal. He had q faculty for disregarding
the books and taking original flights, espe-
cislly 10 m mathematics. Some OF the mathe-
matical faculty did not care for original
excursions 10 The grounds of geometric de-
monstration. This lack of appreciation
made it difficult for Mr.. Hawkins.
T. P. Woodward, at Budd's left hand,fs
