D. W. GELWICKS STATE PRINTER.
LIBRARY UNIVERSITY. OF CALIFORNIA, . I REPORT.
SENATE CHAMBER, February 10th, 1870.
Mr. PRESIDENT : The Committee on the State University, to whom was referred the memorial of the Mechanics' Institute of the City of San Francisco, praying that the Colleges of Mines, Agriculture, Engi- neering and Mechanical
... Arts connected with the University of Califor- nia, and now located at Berkeley, may be established in the City of San Francisco, have had the same under consideration, and now respect- fully report : That the University was located at Berkeley by a most competent and intelligent Board of- Commissioners, after many months of careful examination and investigation, and such location was subsequently approved and ratified by the Legislature of the State; That by reason of such location, and as a condition thereof, one hun- dred and sixty acres of land was given to the State, now worth nearly or quite two hundred thousand dollars, and the State accepted the same, and pledged its faith for the fulfilment of such conditions; That in full reliance upon the fulfilment of the said conditions by the State, the College of California has transferred its students to the Uni- versity, and prepared to, if it has not already disincorporated and gone out of existence ; That citizens of the State, acting upon the faith thus pledged, and desiring to secure the educational and other advantages that will attach to the University, have purchased homesteads in its immediate vicinity, at prices largely increased by reason thereof, and that the sums so invested are much more than half a million of dollars; That a railroad has been completed nearl}- half way from Oakland to the University grounds, and that the residue will be constructed before the building can be ready for use; that the same has been undertaken solely to provide the means of speedy and easy access to the University, and but for its location there, would not have been commenced; That nearly or quite fifty thousand dollars of the funds of the Uni- versity have been expended in procuring additional and necessary land, in securing a perpetual and abundant supply of water, in planting trees, making roads, laying foundations and preparing to erect the necessary buildings for the University; That an area of more than five thousand acres of land has been advanced in market value, more than one hundred dollars per acre, and some of it more than five hundred dollars per acre, by reason of the location of the University, and that much more than one million dollars has thus been added to the available value of property of citizens of the State ; That one hundred and fifty thousand acres of land, donated by the General Government for the establisment of an Agricultural College, have been transferred to and now form a very large part of the endow- ment of the University ; that said lands are of the value of half a mil- lion of dollars and upwards, and that the condition upon which they were given requires a large farm, as an indispensable adjunct to the University.
