inhabitants. lt lies on a sloping plain and on picturesque hill-sides-a site matchless for
beauty of prospect, for healthfulness of climate, for sanitary situation, for accessibility to
goes,to make up the perfection of home conditions. The University came here first; the town
has grown up about the college. When all the State was open for choice, this spot was
selected, on account of its many points of superiority, as an ideal college seat.
From an early account we are told that President Durant, of the College of California,
this predecessor of the University of California, “set out with some friends to seek a place where
learning might find a permanent home on our Pacific shore. Не passed in review many of the
most beautiful valleys of our State, so rich in landscapes that delight the eye and gladden and ennoble
the heart. One by one he rejected sites full of beauty, for in his mind there was an ideal spot where
Nature would present herself in her loveliest form to the young student, and lead him by her display of
outward beauty to an appreciation of all that is good and beautiful in the inner world of heart and mind."
The place thus chosen lay facing the famous water entrance connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Bay of
San Francisco, which Fremont, beholding the prospect lying before him from the heights hereabouts, and dreaming of
the golden commerce and all the golden life of the future for this region of the world, named the Golden Gate. Оп
April l6, |860, the Trustees of the College dedicated the spot from what is known as “Founders Rock " with а
prayer that it might “ ever remain a seat of Christian learning, a blessing to the youth of this State, and a centre of
usefulness in all this part of the world.n And in |866, at the suggestion of Frederick Billings, one of the Trustees,
the name of Berkeley was given to the college home as seeming to fulfill the verse of Bishop Berkeley:
“ Westward the course of empire takes its way."

Berkeley is traversed by the main lines of two railroads, the Southern Pacific Company and the Santa F e.
lt is thus directly accessible from all points in California and the United States which these railroads or their
connections reach. lt is connected with San Francisco by two railway and ferry systems, that of the Southern
Pacific Company and that of the San Francisco, Óakland and San Jose Railroad, generally known as the “ Key
Route.n The trains of the former are propelled by steam, those of the latter by electricity, Each road operates
three trains an hour from 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and from 7:00 p.m. to l:00 a.m. the Southern Pacific runs trains
every forty minutes and the Key Route every thirty minutes. The time of the transit between San Francisco and
Berkeley is thirty-five minutes. The price of a single fare is ten cents, while monthly commutation tickets are sold
at three dollars.
F ive lines of electric street railways traverse the city from north to south. АН these lines converge at Fourteenth
and Broadway, Oakland, whence by transfer one may reach any part of Óakland or Alameda, or even more distant
points to the south, as far as Haywards. The time from the different parts of Berkeley to Fourteenth and Broadway
is from ten to thirty minutes. Аи electric line also runs northward into Contra Costa County to Stege and Richmond.
Crosstown lines bring all portions of the city into easy communication one with another.
Good roads connect Berkeley with all points north, east and south. The beautiful country surrounding the
city is accessible for business or pleasure by carriage or automobile.
The people of Berkeley may be divided into two classes, those who prefer, as the constant object before
their eyes, the View of the hills, and those who prefer the water view. Both can be satisfied; for the атеист on
the sloping plain looks up to the hills; while the one who has a home on the hill-side looks out on the great
expanse of water.
There is a superb outlook from Berkeley over the bay and city of San Francisco, over the neighboring
plains and the mountains beyond the bay, over the ocean through the Golden Gate. The glory of this scene is
never two days alike, and even one magnificent sunset would be worth a long trip to observe.
The “ Berkeley Hills " are famed throughout California and wherever in the world the University student or
the Berkeley resident has wandered. The plain has slowly risen through a space of three miles to an altitude of four
hundred feet. Then the mountains begin to rise more boldly, though not precipitously, until they attain a height of
nearly two thousand feet. The rounded slopes of these hills, curving into canyons, whose southern and eastern sides
are thickly covered with foliage and whose northern and western sides with herbage, green from the time of the
earliest rains until mid-summer and then taking on beautiful hues of brown, offer a majestic prospect.
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.
It is important to notice that in California high temperatures are invariably accompanied by very low humidity.
On this account such temperatures are rarely oppressive. Heat prostrations are practically unknown. It may truth-
fully be said that high temperatures in Berkeley are from ten to twenty degrees “ coolern than the corresponding
temperatures east of the Rocky Mountains. .
There have been only four slight falls of snow in 28 years; each one barely covering the ground, and
remaining only a few hours.
The water is ample in supply and is of excellent quality.
Incorporated in |878 with a population of a few hundred, the number of inhabitants in Berkeley in |890
was 5,000, in |900, ‘3,000, in |902, |7,000 and in |905 it is 25,000. The ratio of growth promises to
continue unabated for many years. Additional residences are being built all over the city, and new business blocks
of stone and brick are being erected in the various centres.
The activity and money wealth of the city is shown by the number of banks and their great volume of
business. There are four separate banking institutions; the First National Bank and Berkeley Bank of Savings, the
Berkeley National Bank and University Savings Bank, the West Berkeley Bank, and the South Berkeley Bank.
There are several hotels of excellent quality. А new one is projected to have all the conveniences~ and
comforts of the most complete tourist hotel. Boarding and lodging houses abound, from the most modest to the
i most luxurious.. There are also apartment houses to suit those who desire such accommodations. But the striking
feature of the city is the number of individual private residences, with lawns and gardens full of flowers blooming at
all seasons of the year. Here one may find ideal homes for rent or purchase and magnificent building sites. От
he may tell an agent what he wants, and a house will be constructed for him, of size, style and location to suit his
taste. -
The manufacturing possibilities of the place have scarcely begun to be utilized. 'There are, to be sure,
already oil refineries, a starch factory, grist mill,` ink factory, boot and shoe factory, match factory, fumiture factory,
and the largest soap works in the State. But the opportunities for the erection of factories in the west end, along
the bay shore, are almost inexhaustible. Transportation by both rail and water is at hand. Power can be had
from an electric system which comes from the Sierra Nevada mountains directly to our doors.
The opportunities for investment in this prosperous and progressive community are unexcelled. Land values
are constantly advancing, and one may profitably invest his hundreds or his thousands of dollars.

Berkeley is_ essentially an educational centre. While the advantages of the University of California are
unmatched west of the Mississippi River, the elementary and secondary schools form with it a complete system.
Every effort is made to keep the public schools up to the highest standard of equipment and efficiency. There are
numerous grammar schools within easy distance of all children in the city, and a large, handsome and thoroughly
equipped High School is so situated that it can be readily reached either on foot or by electric cars. The number
of children attending the primary and grammar schools is 3,400; and the number of students at the High School
is 8|5. A commercial department is mantained in the public system of schools, and a polytechnic school is
projected.
The private schools maintained at Berkeley have secured the highest reputation. The presence of the
University exerts a stimulus on all educational work, and creates in the community a demand that is satisfied only
with the best. The private schools prepare their students for the University of California and other colleges.
There is a marked tendency on the part of the religious denominations to bring their Theological Schools to
Berkeley, where the advantages of the University may be utilized. rl-'he Congregational church has a fully equipped
school in the Pacific Theological Seminary. The Baptists have a Theological Seminary. Instruction is also
offered by the Christian and Unitarian churches. i
The California Institution for the Deaf and the Blind is located at Berkeley. This is a strictly
educational' establishment, and has been so efficiently managed that it is unexcelled anywhere in the country. The
handsome grounds of the institution make of them an attractive park; while the public exercises and concerts by the
pupils draw thousands of spectators. i
The Public Library is housed in a handsome and commodious new structure given by Andrew Carnegie.
A suitable and convenient lot was generously donated by Mrs. Rosa М. Shattuck. rThere are now more than 20,000
volumes in the library, which are being constantly added to by means of a regular tax levy. There are two
branch reading rooms in the city.

НЕ UNIVERSITY OF CALIFÜRNIA furnishes facilities for instruction in literature and science, in
agriculture, mechanics, mining, civil engineering, and chemistry, in astronomy, and in the professions of law,
medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and art.
- Ё The University s endowment is capitalized at about eleven million dollars; its yearly income is


some seven hundred thousand dollars; it has received private benefactions to the amount of about eight
million dollars.
Through the generosity of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst the University now has comprehensive and
beautiful architectural plans for the construction of a harmonious and suitable scheme of buildings. The fourteen old
buildings already on the campus will be replaced in course of time by new structures. The first of the buildings to
be completed in accordance with the new plans is the beautiful Greek rTheatre, an open air auditorium of a seating
capacity of eight thousand, given to the University by William Randolph Hearst. Another of the new buildings
is the Hearst Memorial Mining Building, given by Mrs. Hearst, at а cost of more than half a million dollars, as a
memorial to her husband the late Senator George Hearst. A third is the Presidents House, and a fourth, California
Hall. Work has been started on a new Library building, for which a generous bequest of six hundred thousand
dollars was made by the late Charles F. Doe of San Francisco. All of these buildings are constructed in the best
manner and of the most enduring material. i
At Berkeley there are in the University 195 officers of instruction distributed among 37 departments;
2600 students; a library of l50,000 volumes; an art gallery; museums and laboratories; the agricultural experi-
ment grounds and station. Tuition is free. ' l
A Summer Session of six weeks in length is held each year, attended by some nine hundred mature students.
Besides a strong body of instructors from the California Faculty, many eminent professors from other American
institutions as well as distinguished scholars from the universities of Europe participate in this session.
Unusual opportunities are open to the public in Berkeley to enjoy the lectures, both popular and technical,
and the musical and dramatic performances, many of them free, that are frequently offered by the University.

A STUD-ENT FRATERNITY HOUSE


Т НЕ MORAL cleanness of the city is one of its most characteristic features. Liquor is forbidden to be
sold within one mile of the University. This covers all portions of the city except the extreme western.
¿j Vigorous methods are maintained by the city council and the citizens for the observance of this no-saloon
law as well as for the prevention of gambling or other vices. This patent purity of the community
makes the place an ideal spot for a wholesome and well ordered home.
The religious needs are amply supplied by churches of all the Christian denominations. The
number of handsome edifices testifies to the spirit and zeal of the community. Besides the Christian
associations in the University, there is a city Y. М. С. A., with a large membership. It has the usual adjuncts, such
as night school, gymnasium, etc. .
АИ the more important Fraternal organizations have lodges in Berkeley. Their membership is large and their
condition is flourishing. Several social clubs, some for men and some for women, have well furnished quarters.
It is the home, however, that preeminently distinguishes Berkeley. People come here to live. Here they
find an equable climate which is enjoyable for three hundred and sixty-five days in the year; where indoors and
outdoors is almost equally agreeable; where labor, mental or physical, can be maintained, if desired, throughout all
seasons; where the beauty of the landscape has an ever present charm; where the bounties of nature, in fruits, in
all varieties of food, in flowers, make life healthy and pleasant; where the streets are well paved and well lighted;
where the municipal government is efficient and clean; where the social life is simple and delightful; where the
intellectual life affords a constant stimulus to mental improvement; where, above all, the moral atmosphere invites and
tolerates only the best. i
