7146! Commerce is proud of its democratic system of student government operating by authority of a constitution ratified by the students. Besides the usual student body officers to lead in school activities there are also a Student Congress, to make the gov- erning rules and regulations, and a District Attorney and Student Court to try and to deal out punishment to those who break the school laws. California also has a constitution ratified by the people. The drawing on the previous page depicts Colton Hall in Monterey where the first California constitutional convention met during September and October 1849. The convention assembled in the upper story of the building in a hall thirty by sixty feet in size designed for public meetings. The lower story was divided into school rooms. This stone school building was erected by the Reverend Walter Colton, the First American alcalde in California, who used to build it, the labor of convicts, the taxes on rum, and the banks of the gamblers. Within a month after the constitution was drafted, it was ratihed by the populace. The next year, on September 9, 1850, President Fillmore signed the bill admitting California into the Union. But it was not until the steamship Oregon docked in San Francisco on October 18, 1850 that California learned it had become the thirty-first state in the United States.
