tied Stanford, and in field athletics we have beaten both. Beside a number of Coast records we now hold the world ' s hurdle record for 120 yards. That we have been able to make such advancement has been largely due to our instructor in physical culture, Mr. Magee. His work in his department has been enthusiastic and persistent, and his success is well deserved ; and it means more than the production of the star athlete, however much glory such stars may contribute to the University. A frail body won ' t support the kind of work that men want to do here, and, were it not for the careful and systematic work done in the Department of Physical Culture, many a man would be unable to get very far in his University career. But why should such advantages be open only to the young men of the University ? With the present accommodations there are only two hours a week (drill hours) when the young women can use the gymnasium. We need a Department of Physical Culture for women. The extent to which they avail themselves of the meager opportunities which now offer promises well the success of such a department should it be established. The Mark Hopkins Institute of Art has recently been organized as an affiliated college of the University of California. The Institute finds its home in what was formerly the Hopkins mansion in San Francisco, this beautiful structure having been given by Mr. Searles for the advancement of art on the Coast. The gift was a generous one, coming at an opportune time, and under proper direction this department should soon take rank with similar institutions in Europe. We have long needed a representative college paper one that would truly represent all classes and the interests of the University as a whole one whose object would be something higher than the propagation of fac- tional strife. Such a paper has appeared in the Berkeleyan, and we prophesy that the Berkeleyan has come to stay. And now we deliver the BLUE AND GOLD into your hands. We don ' t expect much charity from you, yet we don ' t want you to take a wrong basis for criticism. This book was written to amuse, not to instruct. If you aint in it don ' t feel badly if you are, console yourself with the reflection that you have perhaps contributed to the amusement of your fellow-man. We had hoped for the assistance of Mr. C. K. Jones and Mr. R. H. Clarke, but they did not return to college. Had they done so you could have expected much more of us. Our task has been a long one, but if we have produced something which will perpetuate some of the more pleasant features of college life, something that in after years will keep these old days green in memory, we shall feel that our efforts have not been in vain. 8

World ' s Fair Edition of the BLUE AND GOLD is before you. Our University has completed another year of its existence, and in that time has accomplished much. We have gained a Presi- dent, a man who has labored long and faithfully in the interests of the educational system of the State, a man in whom the Uni- versity in particular has every confidence, and whose intimate sympathy with faculty and undergraduates alike must assure him the heartiest cooperation from all departments. The University is to be congratulated, and as a University we hail our President with ' warmest hopes for his success. An account of the discovery of the Fifth Satellite of Jupiter will be found further on in our pages. While the .discovery has aroused the keenest interest of the whole scientific world as an epoch-making event in the history of Astronomy, we feel that under a different management of the Lick Astronomical Department it would soon take its place as one of a series of such brilliant achievements. Of Barnard ' s discovery every University man is justly proud, and, as all must feel a lively interest in the personality of the discoverer, we have requested him to furnish us with his portrait and his own account of the discovery. We present both, and on behalf of the University we thank him for his kind compliance with our request. In athletics the University has far excelled her record in any previous year. We have beaten our old rivals, the Olympic Club, in football, and have
