The progress of our American universities is a matter of sin- cere interest to every public-spirited citizen, even though his own educational opportunities may have been extremely limited Men who have never lived in a university atmosphere share with us a sense of civic pride as they watch the steady march and occasional great strides of a university. The college man unites with this a feeling of deep personal gratification, realizing that he himself is to some extent an element in that progress. But the relation of the fraternity man to his university comprehends both of these and much more, for the bonds established by brotherhood and close personal association are self-sustaining and self-perpetuating and bind him with peculiar power not only to his own chapter and alma mater, but to all chapters and all institutions in which they exist. Every Phi Gamma Delta man is specially interested in the evolution of institutions where his brothers are organized and laboring in the upbuilding of the fraternity. These reflections justify us in directing our attention at this time to the recent progress and approaching architectur- al transformation of the University of California. To one who has not followed with some care the details of the settling-up process in California, and who does not realize the fact that the general conditions of culture and civilzation are much the same there as in the East, the existence of a great university in the far West is somewhat of an anomaly. The publicity given to the Stanford University has in large measure 122 PHI GAMMA DELTA QUARTERLY corrected this misconception, but even to-day the two institu- tions are often confused in the public mind and the Stanford University is regarded as the state institution. These are both truly noble institutions, and institutions too with which many of our children and children's children in the onward and west- ward course of progress will become identified, but with all its millions and prestige Stanford does not seem to have the stu- pendous prospects of the State University at Berkeley, backed as it is by the wealth of the state and by a prospective private munificence unparalleled in the history of education. The University is only about thirty years old. The land con- sists of about 250 acres within the town of Berkeley, opposite the Golden Gate, and extends back to the summit of the hill. The buildings are situated on rising ground at the base of the hills, flanked on either side by a picturesque creek, and to the front and west commanding a beautiful view of the Bay of San Francisco and the Golden Gate. While it is true that the location and environment of an insti- tution of learning and the character of its habitation do not de- termine its relative merit, yet these are often quite formative factors in giving character and individuality to such an institu- tion, and in qualifying the influence which it exerts. In this respect a university is much like an individual. Its environment not only powerfully influences it and imparts to it a certain tone and color, but it becomes a well-nigh inseparable part of it, and more or less consciously or unconsciously its imprint is left in the lives of its students. And so it is with the Univer- sity of California. Situated as it is, commanding the great gateway to the Orient and one of the finest harbors in the world, flourishing under climatic conditions which permit of flowers and more or less of an outdoor life all the year around, and redo- lent of evergreen trees, of a certain aromatic and invigorating dryness in summer and autumn, and of a natural, uncultivated, rugged freshness in winter and spring which reminds one of the simple but gorgeous orange-colored wild poppies to be gathered on its hill sides; the University has acquired a characteristic tone and spirit peculiarly its own, rugged, virile, free, spontaneous, and natural without being crude. 5 S I S s ? < ^ o g n < 5 O r T| T| i i i 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 127 In one respect the University has in the past failed to come to a complete self-consciousness of its existence as a university. This has been owing to two conditions unfavorable to the de- velopment of an outspoken, assertive university spirit. One of these conditions has been the absence of any worthy rival for thousands of miles; another has been the absence of a dormitory system, and the fact that only a small percentage of students resided in the college town, the larger number residing in neigh- boring cities within easy reach around the bay. The metropo- lis is too handy. The first of these evils has been remedied by the institution of Stanford University, with a resulting healthful rivalry. The second is being remedied partly by the influx of students from distant homes, partly by better and cheaper boarding accommodations for students in the college town, partly by the fraternity club houses, and now the University is calculating on building dormitories. With respect to its scope and internal equipment, its courses of instruction, and its personnel, much the same might be said of it as would be detailed of any complete and comprehensive institution of higher learning, although it may well be humored in the conviction that a number of its faculty are absolutely un- replaceable. The academic department is housed at Berkeley and consists of the following separate colleges Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Agriculture, Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engi- neering, Chemistry, and Commerce, the last of which was estab- lished in 1898. The original University had no affiliations out- side of Berkeley, but from time to time various acquisitions have been made so that now the interests of the University in other parts of the state are about as numerous and diversified as those in the college town. The Lick Observatory was the gift of Mr. James Lick and dates from 1875. The reservation consisting of 2581 acres was acquired chiefly by congressional and state grants, while the telescope was until very recently the most powerful in the world. The professional colleges of Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Phar- macy, and Veterinary Science, in San Francisco, were added from time to time, the first having a separate endowment, the 128 PHI GAMMA DELTA QUARTERLY others being supported by students' fees. Until recently these colleges were scattered throughout the city, but they are now about to be assembled in new $250,000 quarters just completed. The site is the gift of the late Adolph Sutro, of "Cliff House" and "Sutro Tunnel" fame, and in many respects rivals the Berkeley site in beauty of location, being on a bench cut out on the slopes of a wooded hill and commanding a panoramic view of the western part of the city, the bay, Golden Gate, ocean, and Golden Gate Park. The Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, valued at millions, was given to the University for purposes indicated by its name in 1893, by Edward F. Searles. The interior of this building is a revelation of richness in decoration and ornamentation. By a strange coincidence of juxta-position, adjoining the Institute on the east and occupying the remaining half of the block are the residence and grounds of Mrs. Jane Stanford, which will ulti- mately pass to the Stanford University and be dedicated to uses similar to those of the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. These two institutions, situated on one of the highest hills in the city, will undoubtedly form the greatest art center on the Pacific Coast. The Wilmerding School of Technical Arts, for which an en- dowment of $400,000, was made by the late J. C. Wilmerding, is also to be situated at San Francisco. The latest gift of land to the University is one which appeals to us not only from the utilitarian but primarily from the senti- mental point of view. It is preeminently a princely and beau- tiful gift and adds 1800 acres to the domain of the University, besides a fine mansion valued at half a million. We refer to the Flood tract at Menlo Park deeded to the University last September by Miss Cora Jane Flood. The tract is in a land of oaks scarcely less beautiful than those of Berkeley. Six hun- dred acres of cultivated land surround the house, the remaining acreage being marsh land which can be made profitable. The property is self-supporting and can be made the source of con- siderable income. The house, which is much admired for its fine architectural lines, was turned over completely furnished. Under the deed of trust the house and grounds adjacent are to | 8: 5 tr \- u- cr s"s 51 < I- T co - 1 - z Ii THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 133 be maintained by the Board of Regents for a period of fifty years. The country seats of many of Calfornia's millionaires are close at hand, and curiously enough the Stanford University tract is almost immediately adjoining. This completes the list of the University's outside possessions. Like most other pro ducts of California, the University of to-day is the result of a marvelously rapid growth, particularly rapid during the last ten years. The recent increase in the number of students at Berkeley is phenomenal. From 400 in 1890, the attendance has run up to 1600 at present, bringing the total number of students in all departments of the University up to 2400 Practically the same quarters which accommodated the 400 of 1890 afford shelter for the 1600 at present, but the con- gestion became almost unbearable and a steady demand for additional buildings arose. For a time huge tents were put up on the campus and classes held in them, but the experiment was far from satisfactory, each student being thereby converted into a sort of animate, self-registering and protesting theremometer. While these discomforts were being endured and various plans for relief being considered, Instructor B. R. Maybeck, a devoted friend of the University, and one of those long-headed men gift- ed with prophetic vision, evolved the idea of replacing the pres- ent structures by a magnificent harmonious group of buildings, in the planning of which the greatest artichectural geniuses of the age should share, and which should be built on a scale requiring a score or more of years for its completion. This may have been a dream of Mr. Maybeck 's, but it was more than that and he did not dismiss it at that. It was the free, spontaneous, virile spirit of the place and institution demanding its full ex- pression in concrete form that spoke through him. He talked and planned, and others talked and schemed, and finally Mrs. Phebe Hearst, already a friend and benefactor of the Univer- sity, beloved not only for her boundless generosity but for her personal charm, had a dream, a vision of the new University of California, a vista of architectural glory which she should help to inaugurate and bring into existence. The spirit of Berkeley had asserted itself through her too. She responded to it and soon by her munificence the beginning and prosecution of Mr. 134 PHI GAMMA DELTA QUARTERLY Maybeck's idea, and in fact the possibility and practicability of the whole scheme, was assured. Berkeley is to have a magnif- icent habitation in harmony with its beautiful site and consist- ent with its high standing, thus exemplifying the lofty senti- ments of Professor Charles Eliot Norton, of Harvard, when he says, "No one denies that noble and beautiful buildings, in noble association and well designed for the purposes for which they are intended, become more and more impressive from generation to generation as they become more richly invested with associa- tions of human interest. The youth who lives surrounded by beautiful and dignified buildings to which inspiring memories belong, cannot but be strongly affected (lessor more conscious- ly or unconsciously, according to his native sensibilities and perceptions) by the constant presence of objects that, w r hile pleasing and refining the eye, cultivate his sense of beauty, and arouse not only poetic emotion, but his sympathy with the spirit and generous efforts of his distant predecessors. His inward nature takes on an impress from the outer sight. He may need help at first to discern the expression, in the work, of the beauty which it embodies, but he needs no help to feel its dignity and venerableness. " Ten million dollars have already been secured, and more will be on hand when needed, to carry on this work which when completed will, in the words of Mr. Burnham, the architect of the World's Fair buildings, "be a work many times the magni- tude of the buildings for the World's Fair. The world has nev- er seen such a plan on such a scale before that was carried to a completion." Mrs. Hearst, now a Regent of the University, the grand woman to whom the inception of this work is due and the ultimate extent of whose benefactions to the University is even now a matter of conjecture to the public, will herself build one of the buildings as a memorial to her late husband. The expense of the architectural competition for plans, amounting already to $100,000, is also being borne by her. This competi- tion was thrown open to the architects of the world, and to the municipality of Antwerp were intrusted the details of receiving and judging the plans. A jury of five was selected, and this jury met in Antwerp last October to judge the plans which were then in the care of the city. They selected the five which they considered best and among these distributed $26,000 in prizes. o 20 O z s o Tl CD 3 H X I p m PALM GROVE IN GROUNDS, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, CAL. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 139 All were from the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Paris, but three of them are Americans. The competitors were hampered by no restrictions or limitations as to cost of the proposed structures ; each was allowed the freest scope in the exercise of his highest powers. Nothing is to be omitted, nothing stinted. If addi- tional land is needed it will be acquired by condemnation pro- ceedings. Accommodations are to be provided sufficient for 5000 students, including auditoriums, armory, gymnasium, li- brary, machinery building, observatory, conservatory, dormitor- ies, in fact all the various structures which human forethought can suggest as suitable accessories to a great university. And this is to be no loose aggregation of buildings but an imposing and inspiring group made up of harmonious elements, a creation which shall be a striking fulfillment of the verses of Bishop Berkeley on the Prospect of Planting Arts and Learning in America when he wrote "Westward the course of empire takes its way ; The four first Acts already past, A fifth shall close the drama with the day ; Time's noblest offspring is the last." The five successful competitors are now visiting Berkeley and are making a careful study of the University site and of the re- quirements and also of the surrounding landscape. They are then to return to their homes and prepare definite plans which are to be submitted to the same preliminary jury which judged the plans in Antwerp, with the addition of four architects chos- en from a list of five names each sent in by the five architects who are entitled to compete for the final plan. Such is the record of the recent growth and expansion of the University of California, and such are its splendid prospects. We are proud of it as an American University ; we are proud of it as students and graduates of American universities ; and we are proud of it as brothers in Phi Gamma Delta. Within the immediate sphere of influence of this University are two chapters of Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Xi, at Berkeley, and Mu Graduate, at San Francisco. Both of these have drawn their strength and vitality largely from the University, and we believe and trust too that they have been elements of strength and stability in its development. We are proud of the history 140 PHI GAMMA DELTA QUARTERLY of Delta Xi, a history of perseverance and fraternal loyalty, in the early part of which such names as John H. Schutte, I. I. Brown, Arthur Bachman, andE. W. Hill, played a very prom- inent part. Now the days of adversity have passed and Delta Xi is in a position to share in the growing strength of the Uni- versity, to take in its full complement of members, and to be- come one of the largest and strongest chapters of the fraternity. But the University has set a very rapid pace, and inter-frater- nity competition is very keen, so that we can by no means af- ford to rest under the false security of any assumed superiority. Our prospects and opportunities at Berkeley are most encourag- ing, and we hope and trust that our chapter there will continue to be maintained with all the enterprise and vitality character- istic of the institution in which it is established. Mu Graduate Chapter is composed largely of Delta Xi alumni with a considerable number of highly appreciated alumni from the East. This chapter also shares in the destiny of the Uni- versity of California and of the active chapter at Berkeley. It will undoubtedly, as the years go by and new accessions to its ranks are received, exert a strong influence in keeping the alumni in the West in touch with each other, as well as be a source of helpfulness to the local active chapters. Prominent among the most enthusiastic members are Prof. W. H. Ham- mon, of the United States Weather Bureau, Ralph L. Hathorn, J. Alfred Marsh, and Victor L. O'Brien, attorneys at law, and Wallace W. Everett, in the wood and iron business, the pres- ent officers of the chapter. These are times of opportunity for fraternities in the far west ; opportunity to build up strong, vigorous chapters. Events are succeeding each other there in the line of educational interests with great rapidity ; in fact California seems to be in the midst of a sort of educational boom, and a very healthy and substantial one too. The field is worthy of the laborer, and as fraternity men, as Phi Gamma Delta men, the opportunity and responsi- bility is ours of maintaining chapters there which shall repre- sent the highest and best in the onward and upward movement of the day.
