ACTION OF LAW STUDENTS
The Senior Class of Hastings
Will Not Graduate at
Berkeley.
A Call for Citizens to Register to Vote
on School Bonds-Baseball
Trophy.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 15.-The
decision not to come to Berkeley for
graduation, which was taken yesterday by
the senior class of the Hastings Law
College, growing out OF the disposition of
the Berkeley alumni to exclude graduates
OF theAffiliated Colleges from full privileges
of the University Alumni Association, has
given rise to much comment among both
graduates and undergraduates on this side
of the bay. The prevailing opinion among
those who are in attendance at the Berke-
ley colleges'seems to be that graduates of
the purely technical departments of the
university, such as the colleges of law,
medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and vet
erinary surgery, should not be accorded
citation as those who have spent four years
in the academic course and three in the
! professional.
| President Kellogg was interviewed to-
| day with reference to the action taken by
| the law college men, and stated that he
| did not attach much importance to their
proceeding, as what they had done was a
| matter for the Alumni Association to look
after and a question between themselves
and the faculty OF the law college.
''rhe Academic Council at Berkeley
said he. s'will probably take no hand in
the affair, but will leave it for the faculty
| of the law college to consider. We have
| too many things of our own over here to
| look after to take up such questions. 1t
| mas only been the custom of the law col
| lege graduates for the past two years to
come to Berkeley for their diplomas, SO
| that if thew do not come this year no very
great breach of precedent will be made. "
The alumni have been considering for
some time past the proposition OF ad-
mitting the graduates of the Affiliated
| Colleges to part of the rights and privi-
leges that have been accorded the gradu-
| ates of the academic department, but no
definite conclusion seems TO have been ar
rived at.
