A hillside lift provided, the slopes above the Greek Theater would make ideal sites for the students ' dormitories, each hall being set in its own grove, or thicket, and each commanding an unsurpassable prospect toward the Golden Gate. And on the hilltop, the Observatory ! Tucked away out of sight are a service court for the University shops and barns, and a power and heating plant. The idyllic bit of woodland now enjoyed by the Faculty Club is retained for its use. Up the canon is indicated a masonry dam and a long, winding lake between the hills. And the dream is becoming sober fact. Already partly completed are the Hearst Mining Building, California Hall, the Greek Theater, the Presi- dent ' s House, and the power plant. The Doe Library will be built at once, the money being already in hand. The South Drive, a superb permanent roadway, has been built as a part of the final plan. Everything to be done hereafter on the Berkeley campus will be either thoroughly good and a part of the permanent development of the site, or else absolutely and frankly tem- porary mere board shacks or canvas, to fill the needs of a year. Never was there such a chance in America to aid in a work of imperish- able moment and of highest artistic and human worth. The whole life of California will be profoundly influenced by this example of permanent con- struction, of high artistic ideals, and of noble aims. Here students may steep themselves in surroundings fit and truth and beauty matched. And the man who wants to help and cannot spend a million on a museum, can build a gate- way or a drinking fountain, or hang a bronze door or glaze a memorial window. Here is something worthy a man ' s fondest co-operation.

window at either end of the northern segment of the structure, bespeaking the immense reading-room inside, occupying the whole width of the building. Behind the Library stands its annex, and grouped about it are buildings for those subjects which most need constant and immediate access to a vast collection of books languages, then his- v . tory, on the east, economics and ad- ministration (in Cali- fornia Hall), and philosophy and edu- cation, on the west. On the northern side of the canon stands the great art and anthropological museum, on the ter- race first used for the Students ' Observa- tory ; and this is flanked on the west by a building devoted to architecture and the fine arts, and on the east by the engineering group three buildings designed for civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering respectively. Beyond is the mining building erected by Mrs. Hearst in memory of Senator George Hearst, and across the axis the buildings for mathematics and physics. Between the Mining and Physics Buildings start upward the monumental steps of the Auditorium, and on the terraces at either side of the great domed edifice stand the buildings for geology and chemistry, each so elevated in site as to be fully visible from the lower campus. South of the Auditorium and exceedingly convenient of access, so that University festivals may be held outdoors or in, as the weather suggests, is the Greek Theater, completed with a double colonnade about the rear, and with a magnificent portico on the west, overlooking San Francisco Bay. The commons, or student dining-hall, occupies a superb site northeast of the Auditorium, its broad terrace overlooking the whole University and the expanse beyond.

Taverns of Good Fellowship By AKTHI.-R L. PEICE. 04 In the discreet register of the University there is but little indication what college life may be when there is no college work to be performed. Happily, however, there are other publications within the fold that are neither so exclusive nor so puritanical that mix a bit of Gold with their Blue laws and so an occasional mouse-like rumor may creep from behind some merry door for the edification of Youth. The curriculum, as exploited in the register, has been artfully devised that we who have tried to follow it may live in comfort in the days yet to come. And this i? or by the life in the room whence the little mouse pee! for there it is possible to bj content, cheerful and appea for all the menace of the c riculum. in the days that are here. This room is commof and of varied functiou H the girls have thein-Sttil Tea Times, and the fejIoK Te in their Stein Age. AtXvorst
