With impressive ceremonies IN keeping
with the soemnity of the occasion the
new home Of the medical department,
University of California, on the heights
overlooking Golden Gate Park from the
south. was dedicated yesterday afternoon
A great throng attended the exercises
The people made their way through the
halls and lecture rooms of the great
structure.
Slowly, however, the crowd gathered in
the large auditorium where the inaugural
services were TO be held. Hanging on the
wall at the back Of the auditorium stage
was more than full length portrait or
the late Adolph Sutro, while bust por-
trait of the same man was placed on the
front Of the stage, leaning against the
reading desk This latter was later on
presented by the women OF the college TO
the medical faculty.
At a quarter 10 the orchestra, which
had previously been playing various Sc
lecJions in one of the front halls, played
the overture and the procession of those
directly interested in the university and
the Affiliated Colleges marched in and
took their seats upon the stage. The three
pulpit chairs in the center Of the stage
were occupied by Professor Kellogg, pres
ident OF the university, with Dr. r. BeV-
erly Cole upon his right and the Rev
Henry Z. Cooke up his left. The lat
ter gentleman was introduced by Dr. Cole
and delivered the prayer and invocation
He requested all TO rise and join in the
Lord Prayer, after which he read
number OF appropriate and well selected
collects from the Episcopal ritual.
After another musical number had been
rendered by the orchestra, DR.. Cole rose
10 deliver the opening address. He said:
1T has been the custom from very
early periods in the history Of civilized
countries 10 celebrate the inauguration
OF any semi-publiC building by some sort
Of festival It is accord with this old
custom that We to-day meet TO celebrate
the dedication OF this building as a home
Tor the medical department OF the Uni
Versity OF California;
Other similar buildings have been rear
ed in this and other countries, but this
building, my friends, IS ours! It belongs
10 US-IO the regents of the University
OF California, and to the faculty Of the
medical department OF that university,
Eleven years have the members of the
medical faculty and myself worked IN
order that We might see this day. Ladies
and gentlemen. / have DO prepared ora
ton TO deliver TO you on this occasion.
bur l speak to you from my heart No
man lives who has been or is so thor
Oughly wrapped up in one single thing
as 1 have been and am in this new nome
DIT Cole then spoke very feelingly of the
lab0rs OF himself and the medical college
faculty in securing Jne approprlauon IOr
erecting the Affiliated Colleges buildings.
He stated that he had been connected
with medical education IN san iran
he could not be regarded as novice. He
then delivered an eloquent eulOgy upon
Dr. II. II. IOlanG, who had presented the
old building 10 the university at a time
when il was far superior 10 most Of med
ical school buildings in this country, and
suggested that the auditorium be known
a. The Toland auditorium. Or. Cole con
tinueu-
Il nave visited every similar institution
in the world and have studied their ar
engagements. When the bill was passed /
was sent by the medical faculty TO exam
East. These ! visited in company with
an architect, and it is the result Of this
careful inspection which We have en-
bodied in this building.
II do not think but I know that there
is not another building on earth so well
CaUon as is this building. Here are nine
large and wel-planned laboratories, TWO
lecture rooms, three classrooms and this
magnificent auditorium, and here We have
what is universally admitted 70 be the
finest room for anatomical dissection in
the world
Or. Cole concluded his remarks by men
tuning the various contractors and me-
Chauics who had so satisfactorily cOntri-
huted TO the successful construction of
the building. He paid a handsome tribute
10 AdOlph SutrO. and spoke in eloquent
words Of the Superintendent Of State
Buildings, Robert Mckillican, and of the
architect OF the Affiliated Colleges, julius
Kraft. In no case known to him had so
large and so costly public buildings been
during construction; and furthermore,
there was q balance of about $50 remain
ing out Of the original appropriation.
DIT Cole Wittily apOlogized for the alb
senCe Of Governor Budd who was to have
delivered an address, and then introduced
