For quite a length of time subsequent to the transfer of the Mark Hopkins edifice and grounds to the State Uni- versity Mr. Searles made an annual cash contribution to meet expenses in- i | cident to the care of the mansion and its contents. Some time ago contribu- tions on the part of Mr. Searles were suspended or withheld. Perhaps he | fancied that the Regents of the univer- | ciation should »rovide the means re- ‘quired for maintenance of the school | and the care of the house. The pupils ‘of the school, the members and direc- | tors of the Art Association, the Re- | gents of the university and the people of San Francisco generally will appre- | | ciate the generosit? of Mr. Searles. | Under the administration of Willis E. | Davis, president of the Art Associa- | | tion, the School of Design has made | exceptional progress.
