In 1S74 the Berkeley campus consisted of North Hall (right) and South Hall, which is still in use. At the turn of the century a flagpole occupied the site where the Campanile now stands. To the left is Bacon Hall, and North Hall (right) was later replaced by the Library. THE HISTORY OP In less than a century the University of California has grown from the smallest institution of higher learning in the world to the largest. The present University, with over fifty-two million dollars worth of property and equip- ment, had its beginning in 1853 in an old Oakland fandango house where the Contra Costa Academy was started. Later a larger site was secured and the Academy became a college which was formally chartered in 1855 as the College of California. Instruction was started with six faculty members and eight students, in great contrast to the three thousand faculty members and twenty-seven thousand students of today. The founders offered the College as a gift to the State of California in 1867, and a year later a charter for the University was granted by the State Legislature. The site of the present Berkeley Campus was chosen by officials of the College of California who, standing by Founders ' Rock, dedicated the land to the use of higher education in this state. Students study in Bacon Hall when it was the Uniyersity Library. Stylish hats were worn by Uniersity men, as exemplified by this Astronomy class. A great crowd assembled in 1899 in front of Bacon Hall to hear President Benjamin Ide Wheeler ' s inaugural address.
