the taxes of the State below the pledges of
both parties. The two parties-the Repub-
ican represented by the Legislature and
the Democratic by the Governor-have
kept their pledges to the people.
1--WE are now one of the proudest uni
versities of the country. / have heard
that there are 1900 students in the univer-
sity to-day. When some of my friends
here with myself went in in 1869 there were
but twelve students"
He spoke about the Stanford University,
saying it is in a precarious condition
through litigation, which is very unfortu-
nate. 1t spurred on the University of Cali
fornia, which improved under the competi-
ton.
In closing, the Governor held it would
be better far to let it be sustained as it is
than that the money on which it was
founded should go into the Golfers of the
United States Government.
Senator Buggy was introduced and re-
ceived three hearty cheers. He said: 81
am at a loss to express my feelings this
evening. | love the university, beause it
is the peoples university; place where
the poor and the rich can obtain an adj
vanced education on q footing of equality.
/ did my duty simply, and l feel tonight
that I've received an honor that can never
be forgotten. The Governor referred to me
in glowing terms, and for it all, believe me,
I'm very thankful"
Letters from Arthur Rodgers and Pro-
lessor Holden were read, the latters being
confined almost exclusively to the Lick
Observatory, which he was proud to state
was the strongest in the world.
Timothy Guy Phelps, regent of the
University, said:
The regents have felt how much was to be
done for the affiliated colleges, realizing how
important it was that they should be brought
into closer association and nearer to the Uni
yersity itself. All our energies were directed
toward securing this appropriation for a col
lege building, and doubt not that the hopes
of those men who have struggled for years on
behalf OF those colleges have been more than
fulfilled.
had the honor to be a member of the last
| Legislature, and found that the Legislators
were aware of the wants OF the University Of
California. We found that 1t was easy because
! the alumni had said SO much to make the
| people familiar with the work OF their Alma
| Mater.
And they knew that the chief executive was
| one OF those alumni and by refusing to
! sign his name to unnecessary bills he proved
| himself to be the friend of the people. doubt
| not that in the next four years the University
of California will receive double that appro
| priation. When the Stanford University was
established we thought it might affect oul
university; but since then the students have
| increased in numbers by 400 and doubt not
| that before another four years will have
| passed the buildings viii not be large enough
| to accommodate the growing demands.
| The university is in its infancy, but 1t il
| young and strong, supported by the hearts o.
| the people; and let me say that no institution
can ever fail that is supported by the manhood
! OF this State.
Professor Bernard Moses was introduced
| When he stood up the applause grew long
and uproarious. He regretted that the
| head of the university could not be present
to speak for it, and continued, saying:
| In the development of great municipal cor
| poratons there are outlying parts partaking
thelr HE, there arises movement for
| greater London, q greater New York, greater
chicago. We celebrate this, movement to
| n1ght-a greater university; the beginning o
movement that tends toward the realization
| OF the destiny of the University OF California.
| Whatever is planted or sown here falls upor
good ground, and it is to the young men o
this State that we have to look forward to thu
| iulhllment OF the work we are doing, and thu
faculty of the university. therefore, looks for
ward to the people of the State for the develop
ment OF the greater university.
The medical element arose and waved
their napkins and cheered when DR.. r
Beverly Cole was introduced. The docto
| thanked his friends, and then alluded t,
the Governor. He said:
have learned to love that man when heart
| he said: II don't want TO see Cole" That wa
when sought his signature to the bill for on
| colleges. He thought l was a live Cole, ant
