The Berkeley College of Commerce is to a great extent in debted to the Merchants Association for it's existence as this branch Of learning has for years been one of MT.

 On the subject of municipal improve ments the traveller is not yet ready to talk, as he proposes to make known his views through the association over which he presides. He would not even make comparisons, although he admitted that San Francisco will stand many improve ments and be none the worse for them.
