Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.
214S Centcr Street. Sept. 10.

Friends who revered him through long
years of association. and friends. not so
old, but cherishing him for his kind per-
sonality and good works, made up the
congregation that to-day gathered at
Hearst Hall to attend the memorial exer-
cises in honor of the late DIR. Martin Kel-
logg once president of the University Of
California.
The gathering was peculiarly represen-
tative There were men from every sta
ton in life, but notably two, who were
associate and student, respectively, with
DIR. Kellogg when he began his career in
California nearly fifty years ago. These
men were the Rev. Samuel w. Wiley of
San Francisco. one of the founders of the
College of California and the first execu-
tive officer Of the greater university, and
Benjamin Tracey of Sacramento, with
one exception the earliest graduate of the
university. But there were many more
old friends of the deceased educator pres
ent. among them Warning Wilkinson of
the State Deaf and Blind Asylum; J. B.
McChesney, Judge John CARRIER, the Rev.
f. S. Hosmer and the Rev. ]. K. Mclean.
Besides these well known people there
was present almost the entire faculty
OF the university in cap and gown.
DIR. HOWISON SPEAKS.
The exercises began at o'clock, just
after the faculty had marched in a body
into Hearst Hall from the apartments be-
low and taken seats on and about the
platform. President Wheeler presided and
introduced the speakers after delivering
brief eulogy of the dead The COM
memorative address was delivered by
Professor George Holmes Howison, who
said in part
We once more assembled after what
seems, indeed, but a short surcease of soT-
row, to give expression to our sense of a. great
loss-a bereavement of the university and the
community alike. 1t is only brief two years
since We gathered here to honor the memory
OF Joseph lie Conte, and we are sum
moned, too soon for our wishes TO note the
passing and commemorate the services Of Mar
spirits 10 whom the wise judgment of our first
board of regents committed the serious task
OF inauguratinE the internal life OF the uni
Yersity.
For three and thirty years he had been our
devoted servant In these hours Of commem-
Grafton, to be sure, must not and cannot
forget the part played by a prominent asso-
ciate of Professor Kellogg in the California
dent Of the board of trustees without whose
planning, wisdom and public skill the accep-
tance OF the proposals made by the trustees
would probably not have been gained from
founder in a yet more intimate and still
deeper sense. It was in his person first that
the great the vital principle of comprehensive
humane culture, essential as the organizing
factor in the life of the institution passed
forward from the narrower field Il held in
the college into the vastly enlarged ono
afforded by the university. Fortunate was it
Tor him, fortunate for us, his successors, most
fortunate for the State and its coming genera
tions OF youth, that his two eminent COL
leagues, John and Joseph lie Conte though
appointed to represent the sciences of nature
were both men of genuine and disciplined love
