UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
The pioneer college school of Oakland was started in 1853, by the late President Durant, of the State University, which institution is virtually the offspring of the former. Meanwhile, however, the infant educa- tional school passed into the College of California, and thence into the higher grade of the University.

This institution was established by the Legislature in accordance with the Constitution. It is entrusted to the care of a Board of Regents, which includes the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Speaker of the Assembly, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Pres- ident of the State Agricultural Society, the President of the Mechanics' Institute of San Francisco, the President of the State University, and sixteen other Regents.
Recently also a Regent has been appointed from the California Aca- demy of Sciences, and another from the University Alumni Association, which comprises the graduates of the University.
The site of the University, at Berkeley, is a domain of about two hun- dred acres, situated on the slope of the Contra Costa hills, about five miles from Oakland, facing the Golden Gate. It is traversed by two water- courses, is much diversified in aspect, and is adapted to a great variety of culture. A part of the site is reserved to illustrate the work of agri- culture and horticulture, and is now under cultivation.
The grounds have been thoroughly surveyed and studied with reference to their adaption to all the wants of the University, and a plan for their improvement, prepared by Mr. W. H. Hall, landscape engineer, has been adopted by the Board of Regents.
Two large and convenient edifices have been constructed by the State, at Berkeley, at an expense of over $300,000. A Medical College build- ing in San Francisco has been given to the University, by the munifi- cence of Dr. H. H. Toland, in honor of whom it is known as Toland Hall.
Tuition in all departments of the University, except the Medical Col- lege, is absolutely free. A small charge for chemicals is made in the Chemi- ical Laboratory. Young ladies received as well as young men.
Board is obtained in private families at Oakland and at Berkeley, at from twenty dollars to thirty dollars per month, lodgings included. Stu- dents in clubs reduce the expenses to sixteen dollars per month.
A new building has just been commenced, to be known and designed especially for the colleges of mechanics and mining. A. A. Bennett, of Sacramento, is the architect, and the contract has been let for the sum of $33,000.
According to a recent Act of the Legislature a College of Law, en- dowed through the munificence of S. C. Hastings, of San Francisco, is established. This is also connected with the University, but, like the College of Medicine, has a distinct organization.

versity, was originally located in San Francisco. It was started-and for some time sustained-through the exertions of the benevolent women of that city. The school was opened April 30, 1860, with three pupils. As the institution grew in numbers, State aid was obtained, and in 1865 it had increased to such a degree as to justify its entire organization under State auspices.
A law was passed March 3, 1866, " providing for a removal of the school from the limited and inconvenient quarters in San Francisco"-for enlarging the scope of its beneficence-for vesting in the State the title to all property held by the institution, and providing for a Board of Directors, under the Code, appointed by the Governor. Suitable appro- priations were made to carry out the purpose of the Act.
After long and patient examinations, the Commissioners decided upon the present location. Plans drawn by Messrs. Wright & Sanders, of San Francisco, were adopted.
The ground was broken June 29, 1867, and the corner-stone was laid September 26, of the same year, and the new building was occupied for school purposes October 20, 1869.
The institution was built of stone, was three stories in height, having a total frontage of two hundred and sixty-four feet, a depth of one hundred and forty feet, and the height to the top of the spire was one hundred and sixty feet. It was admirably planned for the purpose of such an establishment.
The total cost of this structure, including grounds, furniture, etc., was $180,000. During a tempestuous evening (January 17, 1875), this edifice was totally destroyed by fire. A temporary building was speedily erected, at a cost of $27,000, but this was entirely insufficient to accom- modate the inmates, and the Legislature was appealed to and an appro- priation secured ample enough to erect two substantial brick buildings, three stories in height. Wright & Saunders were the architects ; con- tractor, W. C. Boone ; superintendent, N. R. Tucker. These buildings cost $85,500. They were accepted by the State in March of the present year. The present number of pupils in the Institute is one hundred and four. The proportion of boys to girls is three to one.
The benefits of the institution are free to all resident deaf and dumb, or blind, persons, between the ages of six and twenty-five years, who are of sound mind, free from contagious or offensive diseases, and of correct moral habits.
Although there is a fair supply of pure and wholesome water for ordi- nary and culinary purposes, there is now being run into the hillside a tunnel, through which an ample supply of water for the future will be assured.
The present Directors are : J. Mora Moss, Judge John A. Stanly, Hon. H. H. Haight, E. J. Crane, and Thomas Yolland. Secretary, Henry A. Palmer. The Principal of the Institute is Warring Wilkinson. His assistant instructors are : C. T. Wilkinson, George B. Goodall, F. P. Fowler, Henry Frank, and Miss Annie Conly.
The general plan is to have four more buildings, as the wants of the institution require. They are all to be connected by covered corridors, in order to perfect the segregated plan. There are at present one hund- red and four pupils in the old buildings, and quite a number of appli- cants who cannot be admitted until the new buildings are properly fur- nished. An important fact in regard to the execution of the contract by Mr. Boone is this : No change has been made in the original plan-not the slightest deviation from the specifications, and not one dollar of additional expense has the State been subjected to by the contractors

PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
PACIFIC THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
The Pacific Theological Seminary was founded in 1869, in San Fran- cisco. The buildings erected by the Female College of the Pacific, on Academy Hill, were purchased by the Seminary, and possession taken in June, 1871, at which time the regular exercises of this Seminary were commenced in Oakland.
The trustees of the Seminary are as follows:
Rev. A. L. STONE, D. D. Dea. L. B. BENCHLEY.
Rev. I. E. DWINELL, D. D. Dea. T. B. BIGELOW.
Rev. J. A. BENTON, D. D. Dea. E. P. FLINT.
Rev. J. K. McLEAN. Dea. S. S. SMITH.
Rev. W. C. POND.
Rev. H. E. JEWETT.
J. M. HAVEN, Esq. Rev. E. B. PAYNE.
Rev. A. L. STONE, D. D. President of the Board.
Rev. W. C. POND Secretary of the Board.
Dea. E. P. FLINT. Treasurer of the Board.
There is a visiting committee composed of the following persons: Rev. T. K. NOBLE. Rev. E. P. BAKER. Rev. M. S. CROSWELL. AMASA PRATT.
The regular course of study extends over three years, but there are courses adapted to two years or to one year. The Seminary is under the auspices of the Congregational Church, but the course of study is not biased in favor of that denomination, some of the students belonging to other churches. Rev. J. A. Benton, D. D., is Professor of Sacred Liter- ature, and Rev. George Mooar, D.D., is Professor of Theology.
The year consists of but one term. It begins with the fourth Thursday in August and ends with the middle of May. There will be a recess from the 20th of December to the 3d of January.
Credible evidence of piety, membership in some Evangelical Christian Church, a collegiate education, or such other literary and scientific attainments as promise a fair degree of usefulness, will entitle all young men to the advantages of this seminary.
Relative to expenses, the Trustees have the following in their circular : " There will be no charge for tuition, rent of rooms, or use of furniture: The Trustees will, as far as practicable, furnish text books free to those who are in need; themselves being the judges of the necessity. Those who desire it can board on the premises at the rate of three dollars per week; fifty cents additional will be charged for washing."
The American Education Society will render aid to the pupils of this seminary who are especially needy, and who take the full course of three years. The amount bestowed will be $80 or $100 a year (in currency) to each beneficiary.
GOLDEN GATE ACADEMY.
This institution is situated on Plymouth Av., between Broadway and Telegraph Av. The climate is healthful, and the elevated location affords a view which cannot be excelled in beauty, while the quietness invites the earnest student to that steady, hard work, which is essential to harmonious mental growth. The building fronts the bay, and as a hall of learning, is a model of dignity, comfort, and convenience.

It is the design of those who control this institution to furnish a Chris- tian home for youth, during the most perilous period of life ; to afford them a general culture that will refine and ennoble, and to offer them the best advantages for thorough mental discipline. The Principal and his Associates are graduates of the first schools in the Atlantic States ; and having thus had, as instructors, large experience in the best methods in use, are well qualified for the enterprise entrusted to their care.
The institution embraces two departments of instruction, under the supervision and government of the Principal, D. P. Sackett, A. M.
The Classical Department includes the course of study necessary for admission to college. Its graduates are at the State University of Cali- fornia, also at "Yale," "Dartmouth," and elsewhere East. Its design is to furnish young men with a most thorough and complete preparation for college. Special importance is attached to the rudimentary instruc- tion. Reviews are frequent and thorough.
The course of study pursued in the Scientific and English Department embraces the branches of a complete English and scientific education, and occupies four years. Its object is to give that mental discipline which will prepare the student for any position in active life.
The Department of Physical Culture embraces the military and gym- nastics for boys, and the light gymnastics for girls.
CALIFORNIA MILITARY ACADEMY.
This institution, under the proprietorship of Rev. D. McClure, D. D., was first opened January 9, 1865. The location is on Telegraph Av- venue, a most eligible and healthful site, and commanding a very exten- sive panorama, including valley, bay, city, and mountain scenery. It is the only school for the instruction of young men in military studies and practice on the Pacific slope.
Thesystem in all departments is very strict and thorough. Quite a num- ber of the lads taught in this academy have attained high standing at the West Point Military Academy, and Annapolis Naval School. The aca- demic course includes ancient and modern languages, as well as the var- ious branches of an English educaton. There are daily military drills had, and on Friday afternoon a general parade and review on the spacious campus. Major Stewart McClure is military instructor.

MILLS' SEMINARY.
This institution, formerly known as the Young Ladies' Seminary of Benicia, was removed to its present location, near Fruit Vale, five miles east of Oakland, Brooklyn Township, in 1870. The Seminary buildings are extensive and commodious, and admirably adapted to the purposes to which they have been dedicated. Rev. C. T. Mills is principal, and Mrs. S. L. Mills associate principal. They are aided by an efficient corps of teachers.
CONVENT OF OUR LADY OF THE SACRED HEART.
This institution is for the education of girls, and is located on Webster Street near the head of Lake Merritt. It was dedicated in 1868.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH SCHOOL.
In the Summer of 1877 a very neat structure, fifty-two by seventy- four feet in dimensions, was built in the rear of St. Mary's Church. It fronts on Grove Street. There are three large school rooms, each con- necting with the other by folding doors. Alongside these rooms, on the other side of the hall, are small apartments, in which are three pianos for the use of the pupils. The scholars, who number one hundred and fifty, are all girls. The cost of the building was $5,000.
