which has fund of 100000 by original
gift and is now considerably increased by
interest The site was rendered by the
Merchants Association, and a meeting
OF the board of regents OH the 10th it was
accepted. In this the youths will be

The progress of university extension by
means OF affiliated colleges still goes
bravely on, and at the present time there
are three petitions before the board of
regents for admission from prominent
colleges-the Hahneman Hospital Asso-
citation, the College of Physiology and
Surgery and the Cooper NJ edical College,
all of San Francisco. The puildinos for the
Affiliated Colleges OF Law, Medicine,
Dentistry and Pharmacy. now being con-
structed on the heights overlooking
Golden Gate Park. are far enough ed-
vanced to show that they will be im-
posingly handsome.
The Agricultural College and Expert
ment Station, under the direction of Pro-
fessor E. w. Hiigard, is rapidly extend
ing the work OF instructing the farmers by
means of farmers institutes. This work
has been organized by giving Professor A.
l. Cook, with residence al Pomona, super
vision of all the institutes south of the
Tehachapi range of mountains, and d. Z.
Fowler, who has had great success in or
ganizing this work in Michigan, will take
charge OF the northern part cf the State.
The other professors will 60 out at various
times when the farmers desire enlighten-
ment on special subjects. Seventy of
these institutes are now organized and
there are applica lions for 100.
4 new and interesting feature of the
agricultural work is in charge of Pro-
fessor NJ. E. Jaffa. He has a special ap-
paratus for testing the value of sugar
beets. and in his visits among the farming
community he takes his instruments
along and quickly demonstrates to them
whether the beets grown on their land
contain profitable proportion of sac
charine matter. This is of much import
ance just now, ior beets are being expert
mented with all all over the State and are
now getting ripe.
With the people collectively giving
attention TO it as potent factor in their
welfare, with millionaire capitalists
anxious TO give ii fostering care and with
the great architects and artists of the
world willing to bestow the best powers of
their genius upon the creation of an ideal
home for it, the Uni versity of California
has such a prospect ahead OF it as it
enters its thirtieth year as might we'll fire
the enthusiasm OF all who have hand in
Its development.

without money and without price. The
most renowned architects and artists of
the world will give their judgment as to
the general plan for fame, for the love of
humanity, for pride in their profession,
from sheer gladness in the worlds ad-
vance. When the suggestion OF liberal
payment was made to them they cour-
teously waved the offer aside. 1t is the
sign that principally calls for extraor
binary talent. The drawing of the de-
tailed plans will not be labor for which
an enormous price will or co uId be asked.
Professor B. r. Maybeck, who was one
of the commission sent to Europe to
gather Information applicable to the pro-
posed new buildings, is in Paris studying
at the School OF Fine Arts, and preparing
himself 10 help in the selection OF the
plans. Professor A. o. Leuschner, also of
the State University, who has been in
Europe on leave of absence to perfect
himself in astronomical scholarship, is
still abroad studying the latest foreign
methods in observatory work. His in
formation will be used IN the new plans,
for the university expects to have an OBJ
servatory at Berkeley in addition 10 the
one al Mount Hamilton.
A notable WORK now going forward at
the university is the investigation OF the
hills and valley behind the buildings, for
an abundant water supply. The purpose
is 10 build great reservoir to catch the
drainage from the extensive watershed
that has been condemned for that pur-
pose. a dam will be built so substantial
as to prevent the people living in the town
of Berkeley from having any sleep-mur-
dering uneasiness from being some time
suddenly swept 10 destruction In great
flood q la Johnstown, as 1t were. An ap-
preparation OF $4,000 has been made to
start this work. The valley is now being
bored for the purpose of finding site
with a water ight bottom, so that the big
catch of rainfall from the hillsides shall
not all seep away. The need of this water
supply is very urgent for the expense of
the amount now bought from the outside
is $500 per year for uses in the buildings,
and there is none TO water the grounds,
10 put out fires or to irrigate the agricul-
tural experiment lands. During the last
academic year there were two buildings
burned, entalling a loss of $l2 000, which
is chargea ble 20 the lack OF water and ia
cilities of usiny it on the flames. At
present the grounds are deep in dust
vor all this will be remedied, and the
usefulness of the agricultural experiment
land will be greatly augme nted.

the board of regents is the selection CT

PAST PRESENT And FUTURE OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY

Ahe State University has lust entered
upon the thirtieth year OF its existence
with prospect of future development
more rem markable than 1t has ever known
before. Indeed, the outlook has recently
taken on proportions that will not only be
OF much interest throughout the State
put might well challenge the attention of
the word. Plans are being laid, with
every reasonable expectation of success.
that will give the institution such a ionn-
datlon to build its future progress upon as
will insure its taking leading place right
at the head OF the universities of the twen-
tieth century.
There are q number of improvements in
progress made possible by the largely in
creased income granted by the State, but
the movement that transcends all other
Is that toward the securing of group of
buildings that will surpass IN beauty and
utility the home Of any other center of
learning. The arduous work of studying
out how to obtain the best p ans tor this
am mbltlous design has at length been COM
pleted and all the suggestions and accu-
mulated Information of two years of cor
respondence and travel bv those who had
the matter in charge will be laid before
the committee this week in order that
method Of procedure may be adopted.
This mittee consists of Mrs. Phebe
Hearst, who gives the funds necessary to
secure the plans; Governor BUdd, as rep
resenting the State; Professor William c.
Jones, representing the university, and J.
B. Reinstein, representing the Board OF
Regents.
The programme once decided upon,
Mrs. Hearst has generously promised TO
supply without limit the financial aid
needed for Obtaining the plans for the
grandest and most complete set OF build
ings which modern architects have ever
been called upon TO design.
The plans Will be for uniform system
with room for indefinite expansion; and
having first settled the important prellm-
mary OF what general scheme OF develop
ment each new building must conform to,
those who have the matter in charge say
they are promised $70O0,00O to put into
the next decades work in carrying on the
project. They are confident here will be
money to pay Tor all that can be built in
The next ten years. The income granted
by the State Will be only a fraction of
this sum. The bulk will be priva dona-
tions from wealthy friends.
The initial step in this great enterprise
has been most prudently taken by seeking
the adv ce oft sagest heads in this coun-
try and Europe. If there be truth in the
adage that a good beginning makes
go d ending, the thoroughness OF this
preparation augurs we'll.
The great educators of the world were
The San Francisco call., 1897-08-22

first consulted as to what general plan of
buildings would be adequate 10 meet the
needs OF a university prepared to give the
highest education in the coming centur-
les; along what lines education is likely TO
progress most rapidly; what buildings
could be made permanent, and which
should be more in the nature of tempo
rary structures; and just where it was
most nee ssary to provide for extensions
and Improvem
The opinions of the leading architects
OF this country, of England, of France,
Germany and Italy were sought as to the
wisdom and practica bility OF the scheme
and the surest way of getting the best
general plan that genius can devise.
Arusts OF renown were asked as 10 the
styles OF architecture, the thetic grouD-
lngs OF the buildings, the ads OF lanc-
scape gardening and the coIors that would
lend themselves to the mosphere and
landscape IN making an ideal comb ma
lion Of site and city.
Many methods have been proposed for
obtaining this great plan, but the one
which appears the most adequate and will
probably be selected is to have the gen.
eral outline of The scheme decided unon
by congress OF men at the top OF their
profession in the various lines mentioned
above, and then allow these various minds
free scope for the exercise of their genius
upon the different parts so long as they
do nothing to mar the uniformity of the
whole as agreed upon by the congress. In
this way the university will gain the prod
uct of the best brains of the age.
The representatives, of the university

ing in pursuance OF this magnificent
project report that the foreign savants
think most favorably OF the idea. They

tho material, constructing the work and
writing the play he was busily employed
an entire year.
AS was Boucicault, Belasco is Kindly
and patient with the younger players
who are attentive to their work and intel
lIgert, but he is inflexibly stern and impar-
ative with the elders who fancy their
ideas as to the nature OF character are as
good, if not better, than those of the
author who created it. Try that bit
over again, please and, again, "Pshaw,
that's not it at all. Do it my way.
That's bstter"-are some of his iniunc-
tions TO them.
As with Belasco, so it was with Bouci-
cault, nervous, restless nature. If any,
thing, Boucicault was the more impatient
ard prone to anger, yet was gentle
hearted.
So with kindly memory for D. g., who
has left legacy TO the profession he
served so we'll and to the literature of the
stage he so grandly endowed with his
genius, 1t Is happiness to know that the
living d. B. has already achieved fame
and distinction which pace him in the

and the two authors were Of abous the
same age when they wrote these plays
the age at which Sheridan produced his
immortal, 1.-The School Tor Scandal" In
each of these plays of Sheridan BoQci-

dence in the fact that in either of them
the letter rs" occurs twice only.
The greatest financial as well as popular
success in the long list of Bouc cault's ro
mantle rish dramas was the "Shauch-

from his pen. 1t brought him and the
management of the theater where il was
given it's longest run and over half a

Belasco's greatest financial success and
his finest example OF dramatic work.
The Heart of Mary land" before termi-

the managers of the theaters not less than
three-quaiters OF million of dollars.

universities of the old world, but on the
contrary admit that it is true saying
that Westward the star of empire takes
its way" and they consider California to
be the most favored section in all this
Wessern world.
Here in this temperate belt, they con-
slider, is where the culture OF the future
will naturally Concentrate. People OF
large means and leisure will be led by the
climate and the scenery to select this as
dwelling place. Scholars whose pre-
eminence will give them first choice OF
positions will pick upon this as their per-
manent home. Not only will the best
brain OF the world naturally gravitate
here but the air of California, at once
palmv and invIgorating, will be more
conducive TO the reSultful exercise OF rare

where the climate is either rigorous or
enervating.
With especial enthusiasm did these sa-

vided VITA com prehensive Photographic

other serious reasons why Constantinople
is excluded from rivalry with Berkeley as

something new I'm The stars.

1t would hardly occur to anyone ex-
cept an astronomer.to search among the
stars for new chemical element. Yet
the much-talked-of helium was de-
tected in stars before it had been found
on the earth, and in the corona of the
sun there appears gas which has not
been identified with any Terrestrial sub-
stance. Lately it was discovered that a
star in the constellation PuPpis, and a
few others, exhibit strange spectral
lines, which were at first supposed to
belong to yet another new element
But more recently reason has been
found for thinking that the strange.
lines are due to hydrogen in some ex-
traordinary condition, only attained in
those particular stars.-Youth's Com
