side of the rock was nicely scraped and
polished afterward suitably inscribed

most liberal instructions to cooperate
with their colleagues in all matters prom
Using advantage to the great family of
American commonwealth. as well in
their relations among themselves as in
their domestic advancement and in their

My predecessor communicated to the
congress the fact that the We'll and La
Abra awards against Mexico have been
adjudged by the highest courts of our
country to have been obtained through
fraud and perjury on the part of the
claimants and that in accordance with
the acts of the congress the money re-
naming in the hands of the secretary of
state on these awards has been returned
to Mexico. A considerable portion of the
money received from Mexico on these
awards had been paid by this government
to the claimants before the decision OF
the courts was rendered. My judgment is
that the congress should return to Mexico
an amount equal to the sums thus already
paid to the claimants !.

and It is their desire to imbibe western
learning and customs that they may re-
turn to their own country there perhaps
to become leaders and expound to their
own people the principles of Western civ
nizatton.
It seemed advisable to keep them in one
community. and If possible under one
roof Professor Fryer decided to &C
complish this by the establishment of an
Oriental fraternity, Of which the new
corners will be the initial or charter mem
hers. The fraternity will be a permanent
institution, will be given an appropriate
name and will doubtless grow year by
year as our national and commercial re-
lations with China expand

the nations or retain her own in
dividuaI life as one Of the great empires
of the world. change has set in and is
bound to continue, both in her mode Of
government and in the educational ideas
and customs of her people. 1t is believed
that Chinese subjects educated in Ameri-
can schools and colleges will take back
to China American principles of educa-
ton and government, and gradually these
new ideas will take root and become
formative agents in the regeneration of
China. Therefore the installation of this
Chinese fraternity in Berkeley takes on
peculiar signifcan and it is Interesting
to know something of the members of the
new society.
A number of the young men are already
installed in their new home on Durant
avenue. OF these seven have just ar
rived and one came on few weeks ago.
Mr.. Chueh entered last term and will
continue his course. AS he resided last
year in the family of Professor Fryer he
will probably continue to live there,

skill and has a pleasing voice. He enter

make his home with the professor is Mr..
Ensang, who comes from the Honolulu
High School. Incidentally, he brings with
him seven medals, prizes won in athletic
sports in the islands. He has record as
a sprinter, knows something of football
and altogether is likely to prove well
come addition to the Berkeley student
body on the athletic side. He is also
fine musician. both on the piano and on
his native instruments.
OF the seven Chinese students already
at home in the new fraternity house,
Chun Chin Tao was a teacher in mathe-
mates ia the University of Tientsin. WI
Tung Chao is a civil engineer. Wang
Chung Hui and Hsueh Sung Wing are
graduated law students. Wang Chung Yao
is a mining engineer. Yin Chin Yung and
WI Kui Ling were mining students at
Tientsin Chan Yu Chuan was law stu
dent at the same college.
The boys seem quite at home In their
new surroundings. They have nick
as the "Theologian," another as the "Jur-
ist," ETC., and animated discussions are
being held in the attempt to decide upon
a suitable name for the fraternity They
take readily to Western customs and will
enter fully into the social life of the col
lege town. An invitation to tea at the
new Frat House" will have a piquant
Oriental flavor which will add to the
favor with which such courtesies are re.
ceired by the young ladies of Berkeley.
The house purchased by Professor Fryer
for his proteges is that formerly occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Archie Pierce on Durant
avenue, near College avenue. 1t is
handsome and spacious building, prettily
set on a well kept lawn, and compares
very favorably with other fraternity
houses Of Berkeley.
On the first floor reception hail,
parlor, library, dining room, kitchen and
pantries. The lower part of the house is
finished in hard pine, giving a bright.
sunny appearance. The brick mantel in
the parlor is decorated with photographs
of former schoolmates and masters. One

attempts at decoration in the way of
