QI irfwfirzrife Ig, early work of the school by his intimate friends, and more recently by the last survivor of them, Richard Varick Dey, who bequeathed to us Sf1200,000 as a token of his affection for Mr. Vliilmerding. Mr. Wilmer-ding died at San Francisco on February 20, 1894, leaving to the Regents of the University of California the sum of SB400,000 with which To establish and maintain a school, to be called tThe XVilmerding School of lndus- trial Artsl, to teach boys trades, fitting them to make a living with their hands, with little study and plenty of workw. He had thought of placing the funds in the hands of the trustees of the Lick School, and had conferred with Horace Davis, President of the Lick Board, in the matter, to make sure that it could be legally administered by them, but knowing that his strength was failing fast and fearing to delay the signing of his will, he named the Regents of the University as trustees. There is a law in California which provides that a bequest for such a purpose cannot be carried out unless the will containing it was executed at least thirty days before the death of the person making the will, Mr. lVilmerding, knowing of this law, and being anxious that nothing should prevent his wish from being carried out, placed in the hands of Mr. Thomas J. Lamb this private secretaryj and Mr. Nlfilliam Alvord, both of whom were named as executors in the will, bonds of the value of SlS400,000 and told them, if anything should happen to him within thirty days from the mak- ing of his will, those bonds were to be given to the Regents, to endow the school. His determination to establish a school of this kind was prompted by the bitter experience that followed his arrival in California. Having left home at. the age of sixteen, he had no opportunity to acquire a trade, and the need of one was sorely impressed on him whenever he recalled the helpless condition in which he found himself when his youthful business venture failed. So he always took a lively interest in boys-though he never had any of his own, having remained a bachelor. Perhaps his early hardships in California, coming on him so suddenly, made him look with greater fondness on the scenes and pleasures of his interrupted boyhood. At all events, whether walking on the street or driving along in his carriage, he would frequently stop to watch groups of boys at play, or to converse with them about their prospects, and sometimes give them good advice-or something more substantial, if needed. XVhat a marvelous school it would be, if every boy in it would imbibe some of the spirit of the Founder! GEORGE A. M RRRILL. GSJQTJQZQ IlPagc 711
