The morning call., 1895-02-11
BERKELEY.


About year ago the Christian Church
announced its intentions OF establishing a
theological college in Berkeley, but until
recently it has not been able to get its
plans under way. Mr.. Harold Mouser,
pastor OF the Christian Church at Berk-
eley, has been one OF the most energetic
workers, as well as the prime mover in the
project. He now states definitely that the
college will be opened next August. Pro
fessor McAneny, head OF Hesperian Col
lege of Woodland. has been appointed by
the church financial agent for the college,
and he has already 5000 subscribed in the
two towns of Sacramento and Woodland.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is the amount
that the church expects to raise to start
the college.
This seems a small sum, but is sufficient
the wav the college is TO be started. No
secular subjects viii be taught, the students
taking such work in the university right
at their hand. By this means all the
efforts OF the college can be given to theo-
logical work. From one TO three professors
viii compose the faculty at first. The To-
cation has not yet been determined upon.
1t will be made simple and plain, and
thereby very reasonable. The committee
calculates to furnish living and rooms for
$40 per month for the first year or two.
The building will be rented college
building being put up as the funds become
larger. The dormitory system will be in
force, a house capable of rooming twenty
students being already in prospect.
The Question for the Debate.
There will be two debates between the
two universities this year-one the Carnot
MedaiIle debate and the other the regular
intercollegiate debate, which will be held
: - l.,
April 20 or April q. The annual spring
field day will be held on one of these dates
and the debaters cannot set their date until
that of the field day is settled. Stanford
won the choice of questions and yesterday
informed the University Of California that
it might choose its side upon the question,
THAT in California any legislative enact
ment not deemed urgent shall be submitted
to a vote of the citizens upon petition OF 5
per cent of the qualified voters, provided
such petition be made within sixty days
and furthermore, any measure proposed by
petition of 10 per cent of the voters shah
be submitted TO the people by the Legisla-
ture.'
