OXFORD'S TRIBUTE.
The English University Compliments
the State University at Berkeley.

BERKELEY, July 15-Oxford Univer-
sity has already shown publicly its appre-
citation of the significance of the far
reaching architectural plans which are
being made for the enlargement of the
University of California. This feeling
was manifested at the commemorative
exercises of the great English university
held on the 22d of last month. The public
orator, DR.. w. NJ. Merry, rector of Lin
coin College, in his Latin address, made
a very complimentary reference to the fu-
ture which lay before the institution at
Berkeley. He fOreSaW the great results
of the full development of these plans,
which, he said, would require a long time,
but were sure of success If designed upon
a consistent system. He especially ad-
mired the direction to the architects ito
spare no expense" in adopting the plans
to the unique marine site.
President Martin j. Kellogg says he
feels the incident is especially notewor-
thy as an additional token of the kindly
feeling of English scholars. He thinks
it all the more gratifying as Dr. Merry's
words were heartily applauded by the
learned commemoration audience.
