be placed upon grapes, citrus and other subtropical fruits and upon 

 alfalfa and other forage crops. Instruction and investigations in cereals 

 should be developed at both places. Under the conditions outlined a 

 young man from Bakerstield or El C'entro might go to Davis to receive 

 instruction in animal husbandry and dairying, while the young man 

 from Marysville might go to Fresno to specialize in horticultural 

 subjects. 



The tentative organization and scope of the College of Agriculture 

 has been set forth Math a good deal of tedious detail. I am frank to 

 nay that it has been done with a very definite purpose. The desire has 

 been to make emphatic three points : 



First — The College of Agriculture is located in California. Berkeley, 

 liiverside, AVhittier, Davis, ]\Ieloland, and other places are merely 

 points of operation. Los Angeles is the headquarters of the Santa Fe 

 Railroad, but the Santa Fe Railroad is not located in Los Angeles. 

 Last year the College of Agriculture met face to face 150,000 citizens of 

 California. 



Second — The Mork which is carried on at Berkeley, Whittier, and 

 Davis is not prinuirily for the development of the immediate localities, 

 but is a part of a general scheme of education and research which 

 looks toward . promoting the general welfare of the commonwealth. 

 The establishment of the Citrus Experiment Station is not primarily for 

 the purpose of promoting the raising of oranges in Riverside County, 

 but is for the purpose of studying problems which are of the greatest 

 importance wherever agriculture exists under an irrigation ditch. 



Third — Any additional points of operation which it may hereafter 

 be deemed wise to establish nuist l^e considered from the standpoint of 

 the general plan which has just l)een outlined and of the public welfare 

 and not from the standpoint of local interest. I have faith that the 

 people of California will rise to tliis high level. 



The program which has been outlined is a large one. It is worthy 

 of a great State. For its success, it needs the help of every citizen. 

 I believe it to be both logical and feasible. I ask for it the candid 

 criticism of every person interested in the public welfare. With the 

 assured and earnest support which this program has of the President 

 and Board of Regents, I have faith to believe — and I am saying this 

 in the most impersonal and detached way — that it nmst succeed. I 

 trust that President Wheeler was prophetic when he remarked several 

 months ago, ''I believe it will appeal to the people of California. 

 They like to do a good thing." 



Chairman Pow^ell. I believe that the foregoing will appeal to the 

 people of California. There is nothing in connection with our agri- 

 cultural work that has stirred the imagination of the people connected 

 with the agricultural interests of the State more than the present com- 

 prehensive plans of the College of Agriculture of the State of California 

 as outlined by Dr. Hunt. I w^as with one of our most noted citrus
