had never seen such an interesting collec-
ton Of wild animals. There was one pro-
fessor who decided on the basis of figures
whether a student had passed the inebr1-
ETY. line by ascertaining how many drinks
he had had; then by figuring out the num-
Der of ounces of alcohol and other in
gradients that he had absorbed; then by
estimating the effect upon the human sys-
tenn that must ensue. When he had fg
ured this all out with pencil and paper
he would vote to discharge or. retain a
student suspected Of being drunk entirely
on the basis of his mathematical totals.
One man judged whether the Glee Club
should be allowed to leave town on the
basis of science. another discarded sci.
ence and determined whether student
should go home to see his sister married
on the basis of researches in mecieval-
ism. No two professors were ever known
to agree on anything, and that made them
enjoyable to contemplate.
In serious mood President Wheeler
spoke Of Andrew D. White of Cornell as
shining light. Yesterday he had a letter
from Andrew D. White One passage in
the letter was: IF you and Jordan stand
together, Wheeler, you may be able to
do great deal of good for civilization"
On this text President Wheeler dwelt

ferred to topics interesting especially to
university men.
Midway in the evening President Jor-

any words to express our sentiments
toward them" Al drank in silence;

President Wheeler was In humorous

enthusiasm when he spoke of beautiful
California and Of the warm greeting that
has been his. While the two university
presidents sat side by side at the head
Of the tables the professors of the two
universities fraternized at various tables.
There can be no enmity between the
University Of California and Stanford
University" said President Wheeler.
The only enemy that both must oppose
is barbarism. There is rivalry between
the two universities, l hear that there
is a faculty baseball team at Stanford.

II 1t is possible to secure legislation to
prevent the construction and towing of

Masters and Pilots of Steam Vessels will
do so. 1t will be remembered that the
last raft from up the coast got adrtft near

owners of vessels expecting to hear at
any time of their boats being wrecked
or foundered in consequence of a collision
This raft was not the first to be a menace

sent down the coast from the northern
ports has caused trouble Of some kind.
The association mentioned, year or so
ago, attempted to secure legislation, but
was not successful. Two weeks ago a
meeting was held and preliminary steps
were taken to make an organized fight
against the evil. During the past two
