:. for the State.

BERKELEY, = June 1-President
wheeIer's ideas with regard to the be-
quest of $3.50, o,eOO to the state University
by the late NJ Theodore Kearney. Of
Fresno are expressed in the following
announcement from the presidents Of
flee, made last night:
The beauest of Mr. Kearney repre-
sents a wise use of a fortune. i may
assume, 1 think, that the Regents will
scarcely hesitate to accept the trust in
volyed. Though this trust is primarily
TO be exercised for the advantage of a
single locality, Fresho, 1t must be re-
membered that ut@1rnately and purely
inures to the benefit OF the whole state
of California.
and the formal instruction of the uni
versity are located definitely at Berke-
ley, the university. in broad sense,
occupies the entire State and knows no
the whole State and everywhere pres
ent within it's boundaries. Fresno IS
the natural center OF great and posi-
lively agricultural domain. There can
be no doubt that scientific results IN
many lines of activity. could be and will
be secured from a regularly established
experiment station at this place;
Mr.. Kearney was very anxious to
have the university farm established
there and offered to give a tract OF land
cepted by the Farm Commission, be-
cause the conception of the purpose TO
which the farm was TO be adapted In
Volved two points OF view, according to
which the site which has now been
adopted. at Davisvtlle was more suit
able. The climate was believed to- be
better. adapted to the maintenance of a
secondary school, such as Is eontem-
plated in cohnectfon with the farm,
ana the situation of Davisvflle offered
better access of ability to the people OF
the north and south alike, as well as to
the regular students in the AGRICULTURAL
department of the university:
With the establishment OF. station
derfuliy we'll equipped The pathologi-
cal station, which under provision OF
the last. Legislature, was provided for
Southern California, will be situated at
Riverside with an adjunct laboratory
for invest CATION of certain plant dis
eases at Whittier. Southern California
is thus admirably provided. The sta
southern portion of the great valley.
Dayisxille will provide for the central
and northern sections.
The prospect for greatly enlarged
activity in agricultural experimental
tion has been suddenlv enlarged. For
material not only the farm at Davis
vile, the. station at Riverside and the
station at Fresno. but the United States
money to be derived from the Adams
bill, S24, 900 q year, for the advancing
of Scientific work in agriculture. Hith-
erto the means at our. disposal for the
agricultural work have been ludicrous-

cultural needs and difficulties. Evil
