under similar circumstances that one of them steals. And such a criticism is made by such a man of such a State. California needs no defense; but for the benefit of those who like President Jordan, are not native and to the manner born let us say that oft told as is the story of her greatness 1t cannot be too often reiterated"
 Judge Wallace admired the noble sentiments and lofty eloquence of Re gent Reinstein's paper, but he feared that its force would be weakened by retaining the allusion to President Jor- dan. He hoped that all reference to President Jordan would be excluded be- fore the document was printed. Arthur Rodgers maintained the same opinion. He remarked: "I regret that any citizen of the State should be referred to as President Jordan was in this paper"
 Regent Foote regretted that so dis tinguished an address should go out : with this one blemish. He trusted that NIT. Reinstein would eliminate the per sonalities-these filings at distinguish ed gentleman at the head of a rival in stitution.
 Governor Budd, who had been a quiet listener until this stage of the proceed ings joined in the discussion. He re- marked:
 ] ! guage in MT. Reinstein's address to l which reference is made but if it is ! true 1t should not be excluded from the 1 printed document. If it is true it l should stand and not be excluded be- cause 1t applies to the president of the Stanford University. It strikes me ! that regents are becoming exquisitely sensitive all at once. I am president ! of this Board of Regents and Governor i or this State, yet a communication was sent to a professor in the university and read here by the president of that institution, in which my conduct as 1 chief executive was criticized because I vetoed forestry appropriation. 1 saw no regent rise to reprimand the presi- dent of the university for refiecting on the Governor of the State and the pre- 1 sident of the board. think the Gov ernor of California is entitled to as | much respect as the resident of Stan ford University. Criticism made by strangers on the constitution, laws and people of the State may be properly re- sented."
 Regent Foote mentioned that the at tack which Professor Hayne made on the Governor at 3 recent session of the board was immediately resented by the l regents.
 The Governor replied: 'I do not re- i fer to Professor Hayne. He apolo-
 gized in manly fashion. I refer to a | communication addressed to Professor | Hilgard which was sent here and read.
 Now as regards President Jordan, I 1 have very high opinion of his ability. | In my Judgment he is great educator who has done much for this State, and by reflex action a great deal for our | State university"
 The silence which followed the last suggestion was prolonged and oppres-
 sive. When 1t was broken the board l decided to recommend that Mir Rein
 stein revise his address. Then it was agreed that 5000 copies should be print ed at the expense of the printing com | mittee which consists of Governor l Budd and Regents Rodgers and Den icke. Regent Hallidie offered to chip
 in his share of the expense, but the committee did not accept his offer.
 During the special session Regent Phelps, without leaving his post of | duty as presiding officer, got a resolu- ! tion adopted which fixes the compen- | sation of Professor Schaeberle, acting 1 director of Lick Observatory from Jan | uary 1 the same as that allowed to the director.
 At the suggestion of Judge Wallace the board invited the Chief of the Fire Department to inspect the Mark Hop kins Institute and report on the dan | gers of fire.
 Steps were taken to increase the amount of insurance on the building. | Attorney Mhoon will inform the board if insurance can be legally effected
 Regent John F. Budd Is anxious that some of the professors in the service of the State should remain at Berk- eley during the vacation period in order to gratify rural school teachers who are craving higher education. He fancied that some of the professors could stay | there during the summer months and | impart knowledge to the teachers The subject was referred to the Academic l Council.
