Howison evolving the address he will deliver to-morrow at the forty- fourth anniversary of Charter day at University of California. The speech is not going to be very long, but it demands some sort of re- search and study, and not even a uni- versity president may dash off 10,000 words without pausing. “I'm going to tell what about he Type of the State Uni- ver: said President Angell. “It's geing to be short, too, because I don't | believe the people want to hear much on a subject of that kind, especially if it rains.” President Angell betrays little of the fifty years of wear and tear of ac- tivity in his personality. He is hale and ruddy and active. Only in a general way would Presi- dent Angell discuss the w versgities. Upon the w ways of foreign war politics he knew nothing for publica- tion, but what he did say about the universities exhibited the good, solid, common sense thinker—not of the theorist, the idealist. That there is good in all institutions, State or en- dowed, expresses in a general way President Angell's views, and it all amounts in the end to progress. In a word, he is an optimist. “The University of California enjoys @ very good reputation in the East,” he said. “It is everywhere favorably known. The engagement of Professor Jacques Loeb gave the univefsity some prominence. It was a distinct loss to Chicago when he left that university. “In a general way California and Michigan universities are very much alike. There is really no dmerence, for that matter, in the methods of conducting any university supported by the State. I take it that the State wvniversity authorities try to provide the studénts with just what the people ~of the ‘Staté wish them vrovided. “And I think that this accounts for the development of the scientific col- léges in the State universities. They are.going in for the more practical things. For there will always be more students in the department that will provide an immediate livelihood after graduation than from those that aim only to give culture. It is essentially the duties of the, universities to “fit their students for life., “The State universities have made more progress in‘broadening the scope of the scientific colleges than the en- dowed universities. This is simply be- cause the State institutions have more money. The endowed institution usually must wait until some one makes a gift for some specific pur- pose. If the State institution wants anything the authorities appeal indi- rectly to the peopnle and eventually their requests are complied with. “It does not seem that people at- tach so much importance to the old classic course that included Gregk and Latin as they formerly did. Per- sonally I am for the old classic course. But. as I said, young men go to the university to fit themselves for the struggle with the world and the future and sc they incline toward the scien- tific colleges.” Owing to the inclemency of the weather President Wheeler announced to-day that the Charter day exercises would be held in Harmon gymnasium instead of the Greek theater as had been planned.

EXPECT RUSH AT BERKELEY costing the city $10,000 a year to handle cases of this kind, the municipality being compelled to pay for guards where they quarantine a house. The bill for guards alone amounts to an average of $7000 a year. It was this item that staggered some of the hardheaded practical business men of the present Council, who could not see the necessity of paying this amount out each year, particularly | when it fell to a few political retainers. The result was that they decided at once upon a pesthouse. But the location trouble. Whenever it Wwas proposed to purchase a site, the residents in the neighborhood made vigorous protest, and it looked as if the whole matter would be checked. Then the Realty Syndicate agreed tc donate a site on the banks of the Tidal canal in Fruitvale, and the Council stood willing to appropriate money for the buildings. in the neighborhood to protest, and it looked for a while as if the question was settled.

Up to midnight there were no traces of the freshmen class, while the sophomore class was in full force in Shattuck Hall, holding a smoker apgewaiting for the challenge it expected from the freshmen. It became very evident this afternoon that there was going to be trouble be- tween the twe classes if the majority of the members of those classes could bring it about. The professors had threatened expulsion and the classes had passed resolutions against rushing, but in spite of all this the freshmen went up on the hill this afternoon and dug the trench for the gigantic figures of their class, '07, preparatory to filling the trench with lime.
