INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 PREPARATION OF PROGRAMME. 
 
 In the preparation of the Programme for this co-operation 
 the Trustees have been favored with the counsel and aid of 
 eminent architects and artists, to all of whom they desire hereby 
 to acknowledge their grateful obligation. 
 
 METHOD OF COOPERATION. 
 
 The method adopted by the Trustees for obtaining the benefit 
 of this co-operation, while partaking in some degree of the nature 
 of the usual competition, (by which name it will be designated 
 herein), will possess all the main features of an actual co-operation 
 of the best architectural and artistic talent available for the 
 purpose in view, in this regard among others that the authors of 
 all the plans found meritorious by the jury will be recompensed. 
 
 DATA CONCERNING THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. 
 
 The University of California was founded under an Act of 
 the Congress of the United States, passed in 1862. It received 
 a large land grant and subsidies, and still receives, in addition, 
 a yearly income from the United States. The Charter of the 
 University was granted to it by the State of California, in 1868, 
 and a part of its income is derived from a tax of two cents on 
 each $100 of the taxable wealth of the State, which income is, 
 of course, constantly increasing in amount. 
 
 It will thus be seen that the University has both a national 
 and a State character. Its present resources are valued at 
 about nine million dollars, and, in addition to the income from 
 part of these resources, it has a yearly income of about $40,000 
 from the United States, and about $250,000 from the State tax. 
 The University has trebled its number of students in six years ; 
 it had 777 in 1891, while it has 2,300 now, and it will probably 
 have 5000 after ten years, which is the number of students 
 for whom the architectural plan should be calculated. 
 
GENERAL OBJECTS OF THE COMPETITION. 
 
 The University of California possesses extensive and well 
 located grounds; besides, it has at its disposal sufficient 
 resources to begin the erection of a great center of learning. 
 But it will require many years to complete the work in all its 
 parts, and it is to be expected that the Programme of each 
 division will undergo some modifications before the general work 
 is completed. The special arrangements of each division or 
 department cannot, therefore, be settled at the present time. 
 
 On the other hand, confusion would arise, and the pos- 
 sibilities offered by a beautiful site would be lost, if the 
 preliminary work were undertaken without a comprehensive 
 idea of the whole, and without a previously formulated general 
 plan. 
 
 Only the adoption, from the start, of a well conceived general 
 plan will permit the promoters to proceed wisely and with confi- 
 dence in the creation, successively, of the various Colleges and 
 departments which are to compose the University. 
 
 It is this general outlining of the work, destined to remain 
 the guiding thought of the entire undertaking, which constitutes 
 the object of the present competition. 
 
 A DOUBLE COMPETITION. 
 
 The competition will be double, i. e. preliminary and final.

 of the Jury. In case of the inability of any juror to act as such, 
 the remaining jurors shall select a juror to act in his place. 
 
 Proceedings of the Jury.

 Antwerp, Belgium, and will not be preceded or followed by any 
 public exhibition whatever.

 ARTICLE 7. The maximum number of plans to be retained 
 is not settled in advance. The Jury will retain all the plans 
 which it shall deem worthy of being kept, but at least ten. 
 
 The plans retained from the Preliminary Competition will 
 become the property of the University of California. 
 
 The name of a successful author will not be published with- 
 out his consent.

 ARTICLE 8. The authors of plans retained will receive a 
 premium of $1500 each, if only ten plans are retained ; not 
 less than $1200 each, if not exceeding fifteen plans are retained; 
 and not less than $1000 each, if more than fifteen plans are 
 retained, all payments being conditioned on the next Article.

 authors of the retained plans as follows : 
 
 i st. A third within the month following the judgment. 
 
 2d. Two -thirds after the execution and delivery of the

 the premium ; the balance due him shall be forfeited to the 
 Trustees. 
 
 Return of Rejected Plans. 
 
 ARTICLE 10. The rejected plans will be returned with the 
 sealed envelope containing the name of the author, to the person 
 designated on envelope No. 2, (Article 4), charges prepaid. 
 
RULES OF THE FINAL COMPETITION. 
 
 Competitors* 
 
 ARTICLE 1 1 . None but the competitors whose preliminary 
 plans have been retained by the Jury of the Preliminary Com- 
 petition will be allowed to take part in the Final Competition. 
 
 They will be notified individually, by registered letter, of their 
 admission to this second competition. 
 
 Possible Modification of the Programme. 
 
 ARTICLE 12. Although the Programme of the Final Com- 
 petition is, in the main, determined, and the competitors in the 
 Preliminary Competition are hereby apprised of it, still the Jury 
 of the Preliminary Competition will have the right to make alter- 
 ations in the Programme for the Final Competition. The Jury 
 will request suggestions and ideas in this connection from the 
 architects taking part in the Final Competition. 
 
 The letter of notification will inform them as to whether the 
 Programme has been modified or not, and, if it has, will state the 
 nature of the modifications. 
 
 Journey of Competitors to San Francisco, 
 
 ARTICLE 13. Competitors successful in the Preliminary 
 Competition, wishing to study the site of the proposed buildings 
 on the ground, will receive first-class transportation and expenses 
 for the journey from their places of residence to San Francisco and 
 return. 
 
 They should be provided with credentials, so that they may 
 be identified in San Francisco. 
 
 The competitors shall, within the fortnight following the 
 reception of the letter of notification prescribed in Article 1 1 , 
 state whether they intend going to San Francisco, and at what 
 time, by a letter addressed to the Trustees. 
 
 10 
 
Closing of the Competition* 
 
 ARTICLE 14. Competitors successful in the Preliminary 
 Competition will have not less than six months after the decision 
 in the Preliminary Competition, within which to send in their 
 plans for the Final Competition. 
 
 The letter of notification which the competitors will receive 
 (see Article n), will specify the date on which the plans should 
 be deposited. 
 
 The same conditions regulating the transmission of plans for 
 the Preliminary Competition, will be applied in the transmission 
 of the plans for the Final Competition, except that all such plans 
 must be sent to the Secretary of the University of California, at 
 Berkeley, California, and that the envelope No. i, enclosing the 
 name and address of the author and the facsimile of the device on 
 his plan, must contain also such references, certificates and data 
 as will indicate the ability of the architect for the execution of 
 the work and the carrying out of his plan. 
 
 Devices* 
 
 ARTICLE 15. The plans are to be designated by devices or 
 distinctive signs, reproduced on the envelope No. 2 joined to the 
 plans sent ; but the competitors must not use the same devices as 
 those used by them for the Preliminary Competition. 
 
 Jury* 
 
 ARTICLE i6.^The Jury of the Final Competition will be 
 composed of : 
 
 i st. The five members of the Jury of the Preliminary Com- 
 petition. 
 
 2d. Of four architects who will be chosen by the Trustees 
 of the Phebe Hearst Architectural Plan, aided by lists of names 
 proposed by the competitors successful in the Preliminary Com- 
 petition. 
 
 To that end, every such competitor will, on receipt of the 
 registered letter of notification (Art. n), send to the Trustees, 
 under a sealed envelope, a list of five names of architects. 
 
 After counting these votes, the above Trustees will decide on 
 the names of the four additional jurors (having previously 
 ascertained their acceptance), never losing sight of the inter- 
 national character which this Jury must preserve. In case of the 
 inability of any juror to act as such, the remaining jurors shall 
 select a juror to act in his place. 
 
 ii 
 
Public Exhibition. 
 
 ARTICLE 17. The preliminary plans retained, and those 
 presented at the Final Competition, will be exhibited publicly at 
 the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, in San Francisco, California. 
 
 In order, furthermore, to secure for the contestants, as much 
 as possible, publicity of the competition, all the plans will be 
 photographed on the same reduced scale. 
 
 A series of these photographs will be forwarded to each of the 
 Societies of Architects mentioned in Article 2, with a request 
 to give them a public exhibition. 
 
 Every author will receive, personally, two proofs of the pho- 
 tographs of all these plans. 
 
 Liberty to Modify the First Plan. 
 
 ARTICLE 18. It is to be understood that the competitors will 
 have full liberty either to preserve or to modify the composition 
 which they will have presented at the Preliminary Competition. 
 
 Premiums. 
 
 ARTICLE 19. A total sum of at least $20,000 will be devoted 
 to premiums for the best plans. At least $8000 of this sum will 
 be awarded to the plan classed as No. i. 
 
 At least five of the plans will be awarded a premium. 
 
 But the Jury retains the right of distributing the total allot- 
 ment of money among a greater number of plans, taking into con- 
 sideration the number and merit of the compositions submitted to 
 its examination. 
 
 Consequently, the Jury will first decide upon the amount of 
 the second premium, then of the third, and so on, until the sum 
 total of at least $20,000, as stipulated above, is reached. After 
 this has been done, the premiums will be awarded by a secret 
 ballot, calling for an absolute majority. 
 
 Should it happen that two candidates receive the same num- 
 ber of votes for a particular premium, the premium voted upon, 
 and the next in order, will be added together and their sum 
 total divided evenly between the two candidates. 
 
 If *this parity should happen for the last premium, this will 
 be divided evenly between the two candidates. 
 
Opening of the Sealed Envelopes, 
 
 ARTICLE 20. After the vote described in Article 19, the 
 envelopes will be opened and the successful competitors 
 announced. 
 
 Officers of the Tury. 
 
 ARTICLE 21. The Jury will designate its President, Vice- 
 President, Secretary and Recording Secretary. 
 A record will be kept of all the proceedings. 
 
 Report of the Jury's Proceedings. 
 
 ARTICLE 22. The Recording Secretary will prepare a report, 
 which must be signed by the Jury and submitted to the Trustees, 
 and which will state the reasons for the judgment rendered, 
 the Jury's estimates of the merits of the rewarded plans, together 
 with such suggestions and advice as they may deem useful in the 
 ultimate construction of the buildings. 
 
 Ultimate Execution of the Work. 
 
 ARTICLE 23. The University of California reserves for itself 
 the right of entire control and direction in the matter of the 
 execution of the work. 
 
 The rewarded plans will become its property, and it will be 
 at liberty to select therefrom any idea that it may desire. 
 
 The Jury, however, after taking into consideration the value 
 of the plan as well as the references and certificates that the com- 
 petitors will have enclosed in the envelope containing their 
 names, will declare whether the architect, author of the plan 
 classed as No. i, seems to offer the guarantees which would justify 
 his being entrusted with the execution of the earlier work to be 
 undertaken. 
 
 The Jury may extend its opinion so as to show, in like man- 
 ner, its appreciation of the other rewarded plans. 
 
Contract between the University and the Architect 
 entrusted with the execution of any part of the work. 
 
 ARTICLE 24. Should the University wish to confide the 
 direction of the work to the author of the first-prized plan, or, 
 if he decline, to one of the architects having received a premium, 
 a contract for the direction of the work will be drawn between 
 the University and the architect, conditioned upon the sugges- 
 tions and advice of the Jury ; it being well understood that, if 
 such a contract is made, it will be a desirable consequence of the 
 competition, but in no wise a condition thereof. 
 
 Returning of Plans not Rewarded. 
 
 ARTICLE 25. The unrewarded plans will be returned accord- 
 ing to the stipulations in reference to the rejected plans of the 
 Preliminary Competition. 
 
 Decisions of the Jury. 
 
 ARTICLE 26. The Jury's decisions will be without appeal. 
 The fact of a candidate taking part in the competition implies his 
 acceptance of all the conditions of the present specifications and 
 Programme. 
 
 Expenses, 
 
 ARTICLE 27. The cost of distribution of the premiums, of 
 exhibitions, judgments, delivery of the Programme and materials, 
 and all expenses other than those for the preparation and sub- 
 mission of the plans, will be incurred by the Trustees of the 
 Phebe Hearst Architectural Plan. 
 
 Publication of the Report. 
 
 ARTICLE 28. The report of the Jury's proceedings will be 
 published in the cities of the Societies mentioned in Article 2. 
 
 The name of a competitor will not be published without his 
 consent. 
 
University of California, 
 
 PROGRAMME OF THE ARCHITECTS, 
 
 I. 
 
 General Propositions. 
 
 By ' ' University ' ' is meant the collection of all the buildings 
 necessary for the teaching of higher branches of learning. 
 
 Bach department of instruction will have, as nearly as may 
 be, its own building or buildings. These buildings will be erected 
 successively as the funds for the purpose become available, and, 
 under all circumstances, according to a previously formulated plan 
 of the whole University. 
 
 The plan is to include provision for the residence of the 
 students. 
 
 Important divisions for the common use and service are to be 
 provided. 
 
 Provision for free access and easy communication, both open 
 and covered, within the University limits, is an essential part of 
 the Programme. 
 
 The desire is that the general arrangement should assume an 
 imposing aspect, of a serious and noble character, that will at the 
 same time harmonize with the picturesque nature of the grounds, 
 their situation and topography. 
 
II. 
 Grounds* 
 
 The City of Berkeley, near San Francisco, is situated on the 
 shore of a large Bay, called the Bay of San Francisco, nearly 
 opposite the straits, known as the Golden Gate, which con- 
 nect the Bay with the Pacific Ocean. Resting against a 
 mountainous background, the city is situated on a gentle slope, 
 the rise increasing as it recedes from the Bay. 
 
 The location reserved for the University begins about two 
 miles east of the shore-line of the Bay, and extends beyond the 
 city, on hilly ground. While the principal entrance to the 
 University grounds is at present Center street, on the western 
 boundary, architects are free to provide other entrances, either 
 for the principal approach, or for side ones. 
 
 There is a ferry from San Francisco to Berkeley at the foot of 
 University Avenue, and a railroad from San Francisco to Berkeley, 
 and other railroads, as shown on the topographical map accom- 
 panying this Programme. 
 
 The grounds of the University are represented on the maps 
 accompanying this Programme : 
 
 i st. On the small general map, showing their situation with 
 reference to the City of Berkeley. 
 
 2nd. On the topographical plan, the red line indicating their 
 boundaries. 
 
 The architect, however, need not be restricted by the indicated 
 northern boundary, but, if his composition so require, may extend 
 the northern boundary to the nearest brook or watercourse. This 
 watercourse will be found delineated on the small general map. 
 
 The perimeter of the grounds is irregular ; their greatest length 
 is about 1870 meters, extending almost due East and West, 
 and their greatest width about 770 meters. 
 
 The slope of the grounds is marked on the plan by contour 
 lines, in English feet. The least altitude is 198 feet, (60.3 m.), 
 on the side nearest the shore of the Bay, the highest, 964 feet 
 (293.6 m.), making a difference in the level of 766 feet (233.3 m O 
 (The English foot= .3046 m.) 
 
 In the grounds there are two brooks which join before leav- 
 ing the grounds. 
 
 The grounds are partly planted with beautiful trees, which 
 should, as far as possible, be preserved ; the trees which are to be 
 especially preserved are those within one hundred feet of the 
 brooks. 
 
 There are also various buildings now standing on the grounds 
 which need not be taken into consideration ; nor need present 
 paths or roads be considered. 
 
 The soil is generally firm and offers no particular difficulties 
 for foundations. 
 
 16 
 
III. 
 General Grouping of the Programme.

 ation of the land, require special provisions to insure easy com- 
 munication. Within every group of the Programme there will be 
 required means of communication covered by porticos, galleries 
 or corridors, interior staircases, elevators, etc. 
 
 Between the various groups, covered means of communication 
 are equally desirable. 
 
 Approaches should be provided for pedestrians, by means of 
 paths and stairways, or porches, which should contribute to the 
 monumental effect ; for carriages, automobile vehicles and bicycles, 
 by means of gentle grades ; lastly, mechanical means of transpor- 
 tation may be provided which could rapidly connect the various 
 groups. 
 
 This whole arrangement, naturally subordinate to the general 
 conception of the ensemble, does^ not allow of more detailed 
 directions. 
 
12. Buildings for the General Service. 
 
 All important divisions require numerous adjuncts. The 
 most essential to provide are :

 ances for the general service, and stables for a few horses. 
 
 This division does not constitute a group ; the architects will 
 have the choice of either concentrating it or distributing its parts 
 at various points of the domain ; all according to the exigencies of 
 their composition. 
 
13. The Departments of Instruction in General. 
 
 The several Departments of Instruction should be provided 
 with the appurtenances necessary for their management, without 
 being dependent on any other department. 
 
 The Programme can, at best, only 'point out the general 
 outlines of the plan, leaving it to the architects to study the 
 latest improvements, and to complete the Programme by presenting 
 any propositions which they may suggest, by drawings, or 
 written descriptions. 
 
 The several buildings should be provided with sufficient 
 ground for such extensions as may become necessary in the future. 
 
 They each have : their general adjuncts, such as the janitor's 
 lodge, cloak-rooms, interior offices, heating apparatus, lava- 
 tories, etc. 
 
 Offices for the Professors and Assistant Professors. 
 
 Department libraries for advanced students. 
 
 Several study-rooms for the accommodation of about ten 
 students each.

 sisting of separate rooms planned according to the nature of the 
 studies. 
 
 These various elements will be more or less important accord- 
 ing to the number of students and the nature of the studies. 
 But they are necessary in all the buildings or departments, and 
 the Programme will not mention them again. It will be confined 
 to the description of the special features which distinguish each 
 department.

 General Observations. 
 
 The preceding directions are intended to give a general idea 
 of the scope and character of the University and are not intended to 
 control the details of the plan of the architect, especially in the 
 preliminary competition. 
 
 The distribution of the groups on the grounds, as well as 
 their respective proportions, are left to the judgment of the 
 architects. 
 
 There are no limitations on the materials to be used. Cali- 
 fornia abounds in beautiful and durable building stones. 
 
 The attention of the competing architects is particularly called 
 to the importance of a monumental and artistic aspect of the 
 roofs. Indeed, the marked declivity of the ground creates special 
 conditions of perspective, and the spectator, placed on the summit 
 of the grounds, will have the view of the roofs on successive 
 lower elevations. 
 
 The superb panorama of the Bay of San Francisco can be 
 seen from the grounds at the altitude thereon of about 260 
 English feet. 
 
 34 
 
V. 
 
 PRESENTATION OF THE PLAN. 
 
 Preliminary Competition. 
 
 Each plan will comprise : 
 
 1. A general plan, showing the ground floor of all the 
 buildings, on the scale of the topographical chart accompanying 
 the Programme (100 feet to the inch, or 1/1200 scale.) 
 
 This plan will indicate the buildings in detail, and not in 
 mass. 
 
 The purpose for which each group is designed, shall be 
 written in English on the plans, and adjoining the group, and not 
 in marginal notes, as for example : "Administration," " Chemis- 
 try," " Mining," etc., etc. 
 
 The plans will show the contour lines of the topo- 
 graphical chart. 
 
 2. A general elevation, on the same scale as the plan. 
 
 3. General section on the same scale. 
 
 The elevation and the section are to be taken at such points 
 as in the judgment of the author will best illustrate his plan. 
 
 35 
 
Final Competition. 
 
 For the Final Competition, the Jury of the Preliminary Com- 
 petition will determine what drawings are to be required from the 
 competitors in order to show their understanding of the general 
 composition, and of the character of the study (des qualites 
 d'etude). 
 
 For that purpose they may be required to give whole divisions 
 or sets of buildings, and also a particular study of one of the 
 groups that may be designated by the Jury after the Prelimi- 
 nary Competition. The Jury will also determine the more 
 detailed Programme of this group ; but subject to the above power 
 on the part of the Jury the plans required in the Final Com- 
 petition will be : 
 
 1. A general plan, showing the ground floor of all the 
 buildings. 
 
 2. A general section. 
 
 3. A general elevation. The section and elevation are to be 
 taken at such points as in the judgment of the author will best 
 illustrate his plan. 
 
 4. A general perspective. 
 
 Just as in the Preliminary Competition, the plans of the 
 buildings will be made in detail, and the inscriptions written in 
 English, indicating the groups, will be reproduced on the plan 
 itself, and not in the margin. 
 
 No title, inscription, or annotation of any kind, with the ex- 
 ception of the device, will be allowed on the drawings in any 
 language but English. 
 
 The drawings must all be original ; no reproductions by 
 photographic or other processes will be permitted. 
 
Maps, Casts and Photographs. 
 
 Maps, photographs, casts, and necessary documents can be 
 obtained from Mr. B. R. Maybeck, No. 7 Rue Honore Chevalier, 
 Paris, France, or from the Trustees.

Abstract of Climatic Conditions 
 
 at the University of California, during the years 
 J888 to J894 inclusive* 
 
 Average of the maximum temperatures (annual) for the 
 seven years : 
 
 + 90.36 Fahrenheit^ -\-yP.qz Centigrade = -\-2 5. 94 Reaumur. 
 Highest temperature in the seven years, namely on June 29, 1891 : 
 
 + ioi. F. = -f 3 8.34 C. = +30. 7 R. 
 
 Average of minimum temperatures (annual) for seven years, 
 1888-94 : 
 
 + 3 i2 F. = .45 C. = .36 R. 
 
 lyowest temperature in the seven years, namely on January 
 14, 1888 : 
 
 + 240.9 F. = 3. 9 o C. = 3.12 R. 
 
 Average yearly range of temperature Mean of seven 
 years, 1888-94 : 
 
 59.2 F. = 32.83 C. = 26. 26 R. 
 
 Greatest variation in temperature within 24 hours, during the 
 seven years : 
 
 38 F. = 2i.io C. = i7.o R. 
 
 Average annual rainfall, 1888-94 : 
 
 27.12 inches = 688. 85 mm. (millimeters.) 
 Maximum rainfall in 24 hours, during 1888-94 : 
 
 3.62 inches = 91.9 mm. 
 Maximum rainfall in one hour : 
 
 0.5 inch = 12.7 mm. 
 
 Most of the rain falls in the months of December, January 
 and February ; small amounts in October, November, March and 
 April ; little or none in May, June, July, August and September. 
 Humidity of air at saturation = 100 per cent. 
 Average, annually for seven yrs. =82 " " 
 
 Highest (often) ; 100 " " 
 
 lowest (seldom) 30 " " During preva- 
 lence of dry north winds, or northers. 
 
During the months of April to September of each year, the 
 winds are from the west and southwest ; i. e. from the Pacific 
 Ocean. They are cool and damp, but seldom have a velocity of 
 more than 1 5 miles per hour 
 
 = 21.14 kilometers per hour 
 
 = 6.71 meters per second. 
 
 In the Springs and Autumns the winds are light and vari- 
 able, often from the South, warm and rainy. 
 
 During the Winters, the same, except that occasionally there 
 is a strong northwest wind, quite cold, or a strong northeast wind, 
 quite hot and dry, commonly called " a norther." 
 
 The last two winds, particularly the latter, are the heaviest ; 
 the northeast one pouring over the Berkeley hills from the east, 
 and sometimes coming down almost vertically upon the roofs of 
 the buildings. Windmills, light roofs and structures have occa- 
 sionally been blown down by them. Their maximum velocity is 
 35 to 40 miles per hour (56.32 to 64.36 kilometers per hour). 
 
 The ground does not freeze. 
 
 There have been but three slight falls of snow in 28 years ; 
 each one barely covering the ground, and remaining but a few 
 hours. 
 
 There is no freezing of water or other conduits. 
 
 All the native and transplanted trees on the University 
 site are evergreens ; no deciduous ones, with the exception of a 
 few small trees for experimental purposes are found here. 
 
 All varieties grow rapidly and luxuriantly.
