HE SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ART

Han THE winter exhi bition of the San
F3 Francisco Art Association at the Hop
AG 'kins Institute of Art it is interesting
= to:note that nearly one-third of the paint
.inEs :apd sketches displayed are by pupils
Of the California School of Design. And
theu,g Iancing over the catalogue and the
pupils work, one can distinguish really
encouraging advancement in the charac-
. ter and quality of these pictures. There
appears beyond doubt clearly step in
the night direction, which would indicate
that the school has accomplished much in
the last year. For, as an exhibition by
themselves alone, the pupils pictures now
on view IN the galleries of the Hopkins
mansion would form a collection we'll
&@rthy of study, and this not from crit
ica: point of view In connection with
Tracing any development of taste or refine
merit In the ensemble, but rather from the
work itself as it is presented. AS an
artist truly remarked on examining the
exhtbition of school sketches and paint
ings, "The work speaks for itself"
-. Those who have followed closely the
:: work accomplished each succeeding year
by the School of Design are free to declare
ythat.the present showing surpasses those
:of former years. They are in position
to comment on the com parative standards
Of each exhibition of the pupils pictures,
and of course can see the developmental
progress in results. And on this occasion
they claim there is easily discernible evil
dence of new strength and ambition
4 among the pupils. As, for instance, the
. pupil exhibitors for the most part have
contributed portraits and studies from
life, with fewer studies of landscape, and

subject be study from nature-a tree, for
instance-every branch is studied, the
play of light and shade portrayed with an
effort to be correct. Idealism and i'm
pressionism are tabooed, as no doubt the
teachers have convinced the pupils that
things must first be understood as they
seem.
Some of the pupils have been honored
with positions in the main gallery, though
the best work from them is in the con-
servatory, where pictures are seen to ad-
vantage in the superior light. 1t may
better be stated here that some of the best
artists have preferred hanging their pic
lures in the conservatory to dis playing
them in the main gallery where visitors
gather and receive first Impressions.
Among the pupils paintings in the
main gallery is a portrait, No. 80 on the
catalogue, by Miss Caroline E. Kixfor d.
This is large canvas repr senting a
young woman sitting comfortably in
chair; the color is worked out in harmon i
Gus tones, above which nicely nodded
and expressive face appears in warm
light. The picture is a strong study, wit II
much to commend it.

OUR STATE
!. UNIVERSITY

AT recent meeting of clergymen in
this City the Rev. S. II. Wiley, d. D., de-
liYered an ADDRESS on 1.-THE College of
California; Its Founders and Our Inheri-
lance in Their Labors." AS DR.. Wiley is
the only surviving member of the original
board of trustees, the address embodies
the most authentic history of the early
DAYS of the State University, and will
therefore be of great interest to the
alumni and the many well wishers of the
university who are proud of its rapid de-
velopment. Inasmuch as the university
at Berkeley now takes rank among the
leading educational institutions of the
United States and has prospects of greatly
increased endowments and wide extern
sion, DR.. Willey's sketch of its early strug-
giles and mention of the benefactors who
were instruments in its organization and
growth is of historic Importance.
DR.. Wiley is one of the pioneer clergy
men of San neutrality-suspicious. the one
whose experience has extended farthest
back into our early history. He started
from New York hither in December, 1848.
and when in New Orleans first heard the
momentous gold news. He did twelve
years pastoral work in this City, from
1850 to 1862 Then came his long presi-
dency of the College of California, and in
more recent years he has served the cause
of education rs principal of Van Ness
Seminary. His mind is well stored with
recollections about early events in the
State and City, which are history to most
of the inhabitants now. His address was
composed solely to interest the circle OF
clergymen to whom it was delivered and
at their request.
The first promoters of the College of
California were: Revs. S. II. Wiley, John
w. Douglass, Joseph A. Benton and T.
Dwight Hunt. Douglass. Benton and
Hunt were graduates of Yale and DR.. Will
ley graduated at Dartmouth. They be-
gan to correspond and plan about a Cali
fornia college in the spIlng OF 1S49. The
FIRST effort at getting site and property
was in San Jose, but the proposed dona-
tions were not secured. and this plan
failed in 1850. In 1853 the Rev. Henry
Durant came to California and proposed
TO devote his whole time to the founding of
the college. He became the leader and
him. He began with school for boys,
though there were very few OF them in
California. There was no great wealth IN
the State at that time, and the school
had to depend upon such annual sums as
the business men could afford to give from
their small incomes. This school was
located in Oakland and by Mr.. Durant's
foresight four blocks and included streets,
east of Twelfth street. were obtained and
buildings erected thereon. Although
this was only intended as tempo
rary location, the preparatory school grew
there under Mr.. Durant, till there was
among the hundred pupils class OF four
ready to enter college in 1860. Then the |
promoters reused the enthusiasm OF their
friends and the money necessary to or
ganize he colleee was secured.
The college had received its charter in !

>e Remarkable Pictures SHOWN By Pupils at the San

A happy subject that brings to mind an
of 1.-THE Village" by Mrs. Jane G. Powers,
a bright pupil of the art school. Its COM
position gives chance for study on trees,
houses and bright sunny effects. The
village has its quaint steeple and its rude
homes showing through foliage, and a
strong light seems to color the whole
scene after a blithesome fashion, which
may appear perhaps exuberant. But
there is evidence of close study and
thought in the picture.

and Rev. Martin Kellogg professors.
Under them the first freshman class was
organized.
In the second year two finely qualified
assistant teachers were employed. In the
third year DIR. Wiley was appointed
president, a new building was erected and
paid for, the third college class was ad-
mitted, and an endowment of the presi-
dency was pledged by good men. One of
the ablest trustees at that time was Fred
erick Billings. The presidency was Of

fered to him, but bad health prevented
him from accepting.
In the fourth year the curriculum was
on level with the best Eastern colleges,
and the scholarship was kept well UP to
the best average. DR.. Wiley was still
president.
Then came time of hardship. Some
of the ablest trustees died and some went
away, and the college was in financial
straits. The authorities of the college
went East for aid. The College Society
became interested, and the best known

"Here you have wel-organized institution;
you have scholarship and prestige, but you
lack money. The State has none of these
things, but it has money. What a pity the
two things could not be brought together"
Next came the question, Would the State
establish university? 1t had never proposed
to do that. There had been bills and discus
sions about the establishment OF some indus
trial institution-some agricultural and me-
chanical and mining arts college-but moth
ing had ever been said about a literary and
scientific college, and there was no popular
demand for the use of the States money in
that way.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-06

But scue was closer than they thought,
and DR.. Wiley thus tells the history of it !:
Just at this time DR.. John Todd visited the
California institution and was very favorably
impressed with it. He found it under the in
huence OF good men, and it seemed to recon-
cile to large degree State control with moral
and religious Influences This turned the
thoughts OF many of the trustees and friends
to the idea of possible university here, in
which the college might be the central life.

their highest Endorsement to the Califor-
mans. But the moneyed men of the East
said: Your State is producing gold-you
are shipping millions every month-how

are so pressed at homer" All the aid the
college has received from the East does
not amount to $4,000. After this failure
to get Eastern ali the college was in
perilous position.

THE PATHS OF JUSTICE Work of the District
 Court. United States Grand Jury Is
 Empanelled. Three Minor Criminal Cases All Result in a Verdict of
 Guilty.

The district court had a liv ely ses- sion yesterday. The main business of tlhe forenoon was the empanelling of tNhe United States grand jury. The fol- Lowing manned were sworn in: J. H. w. Jensen, J. H. Isaac, Robert Frisdel, J. c. Goodwin, L. B. Hewins, J. H. Burger, J. B. Mullen, Hosea Greenlhaw, l. M. Christy, Jos. H. Holmes, Edward Metcalf, J. M. Burrts, David Kile, w. w. Fellows, M. F. Shaw. Robert Tenn pleton, John Wright, M H. Calder wood As foreman Judge Baker ap- pointed Captain Calderwood. This is about the twenty-frst experience of the kind that the captain has had in his thirty years i'm Arizona and he him- self cOnfasses he is becoming scme- what addicted to the occupat on of grand juryman. As bailiffs were se- lected T. D. Molloy, Frank McClfntock and J. F. Briggs. The jury held a short session and took a recess till the morning.
 The district court session began with the trial of William Smith fer grand larceny, the theft of three horses from Slocum's pasture near the city. The horses were captured with Smith and his pal, Warfor at Flagstaff last January. The prisoner was defended ito the last ditch by T. B. Flanagan, but the testimony was conclusive and the verdict was guilty" and the dis trict attorney hed won first blood.
 The second case was tried in the afternoon. It was against Isaac Ram- frez, a Ettle Mexican boy who claimed to be 15 years of age, and who WAS called but 13 by his mother. The little rascal had broken open a sealed car at Tempe and had stolen five pounds of tobacco from a bale thereafter selling some of his plumber ito Chinese store keeper. The verdict in this case was also guilty.
 The last rial was that of Jack En- cinas, for the burglary of the residence of J. B. Teeters, near Tempe. Here also was clear case and the same yer dict was rndered.
 Yesterday was lthe first trial of a new system of selecting jurymen, wherein about forty are called and sworn as to inquiry and from this number the twelve are selected, after the Hist has been revised by the attorneys for ool5h sides. The jurymen got themselves into little trouble by rushing off at one time to see the circus procession but were leniently dealt with by the court
 The only new case fled in the office of the clerk was for divorce, Jas. w Mobly asking legal separation from his wife, Guadalupe Mobly, on the ground of desertion.

THE BERMUDA SEIZED.

Arms, etc., Are Aboard.

Philadelphia, April IA private
cablegram received here, today. states
that the. filibustering steamer Ber..
muda was seized at Puerto CoiteZ by
the Honduras government. with all the
munitions of war aboard with which
she sailed from New York for Ciba.
The vessel is being closely Guard"' =.
awaiting the arrival Of Spanish agents
sent to Honduras with evidence to have
the steamer and cargo condemned as
contraband of war.
Captain O'Brien and the crew of the
vessel are known to be aboard, but the
whereabouts of Gen. Calisto Garcia
and the 10 men who went out on the
steamer is in doubt.
1t is said that there has been treach-
cry somewhere and the exact destina-
ton off the Cuban coast of the Ber-
muda was known to the Spanish Off
Gals in this country and that Gen.
Weyler was fully informed of the place
where an attempt would be made to
land the cargo.
The attempt to land was made at
night near Cape Corrontes. Suddenly
several Spanish gIInboats were sighted
bearing down upon the Bermuda, but
she made all steam and escaped.
Garcia and his men may POSSIBLY
have landed before the start was made
to land the war material.
