Queer Freaks of Chemistry. Harrold C. Bradley made the most unique address of the pllgrimage at the Chemistry building. He dellvered a mock address to the class upon chemistry, ac companying it with a series of experi- ments that took the class back to some of the exciting events that will occasion- ally happen in the best of well regulated classrooms of chemical demonstration. an accompaniment | ments: To tear up the rooted plant is al a hara undertaking, and we are not the first class to make this declaration, nor shall we be the last, We still have the memory of the good and evil of ~ startling experi- those of us whose lot W istry building the hours have been mostly good, filled_with many and various things.

Loving Cup for Mrs. Hearst. From the chemistry bundlnfiltho proces- slon moved down to East Hall, wheres Mrs. Phebe Hearst was presented with a silver loving cup. Each member of the class had been ailowed to contribute not more than 25 cents, and been madgithe cup, which was presented by Miss Alice Duffy in a graceful little address. - ‘There were only a few words ot reply from Mrs, Hearst, but those words were sincerely expressive of her apprecia- tion of the gift. “It is impossible to tell all that fills our hearts, but I think that you will under- stand,” said she. oke for “the mining push,” and at the old North Hall C. Miller added one more bit of history to the first bullding of the University of California. The Greater University. Through the trees and across rustic bridges, far up on a hillside that is not often visited in the usual run of univer- ty events, occurred the most important event of the day—the breaking of ground for the first huudl:r of the Greater Uni- versity of California. It is a beautiful hillside, with a wonderful uweef of bay and Golden Gate and the hills of San Francisco and Marin. . Down below are the botanical gardens of the university, but it is now decked with a stable of un- lovely proportions.

On this spot meet the two regimes—the old and the new. Associations are many about this spot. Along this hitiward path trod, day by day, the poet-professor, Ed ward Rowland Sill. Over there, just hid from view, is the home In which he composed much of his matchless verse, g0 full of that color and life which he absorbed from evervthing about is under con- him. By this spot, also, many a time and oft, passed Martin Kellogg, professor, president, professor emeritus, now _traveling far from | home in distant lands.

Mrs. Hearst’s Address. | President Wheeler then read the few mp- | marks of Mrs. Hegrst, at the close of which she turned the spadeful of earth | and the new era had dawned.

Presentation of the Statue. | The presentition of Douglas Tilden's | statue, “The Football Players,” was an | interesting event, although James D. Phe- | lan, the donor, was absent. The status had been removed from the Mark Hop- kins Institute of Art, where it had been for some time, and set up in a charming Spot at the lower end of the campus, al- most at the entrance of the cinder track. | Fred G. Dorety offered the thanks of the class to Mayor Phelan for his gift and James R. Whipple, captain of the football team that finaily won the trophy, spoke for the athletic spirit of the university in general and the class of 1900 in particular. Then Mr. Dorety unvelled the statue and the morning exercises were over. The afternoon was where the class had full sway. Then they presented thelr class farce in the amphitheater amid the trees. | Lines slightly similar to other class day | farces had been followed, but the effort of 1900 is said to haye been the best of a long line of efforts. All traces of the old class | prophecy and class history had been com- | pletely abandoned and a most clever ex- | travaganza with a Greco-Roman smack to it was given. It was pi red by Miss Alice Humphreys of San_ Francisco and Was rull of bright bits and clever ideas. Clever Bit of Farce. Miss Humphreys took the pursuit of the golden fleece as her foundation, and upon that she bullt a scheme of class jokes. The golden fleece was the diplomas that will be awarded next Wednesday and the class of 1900 was represented in Jason, the taken by Willsie M.

He deter- mines to win his ambition, which 1s thwarted by the recorder, who keeps it sealed in the tre&!ury. He 1Is finally given the right to prove his title to the coveted diploma, and cails his witnesses. t is in the dialogue between the wit- nesses and the kcl‘n‘ and Jason that the local hits are made. The opening speech by Aetes Wheeleros was a_clever hit upon the first address made by Professor Wheeler.upon his ar- rival in California, when he announced that “it is good to be here,” and for the first time since President Wheeler arrived at Berkeley he found himself the butt of student wit. All of the members of the class, all of the fraternities and all of the university institutions came in for their share of joking. One of the best hits was when the glee club gave its explanation of why it was in debt, and told of musical successes, when the chorus started a few verses upon “Falry Tales.” Those who took part in the farce were: CAST OF CHARACTERS.
