tact and intercourse with each other by attending the same lectures and 

 branches of instruction." 



The students in the College of Agriculture have a right to receive 

 instruction from all the Instructors named above. They were compelled 

 to receive it as a part of their prescribed course from thirteen of the Pro- 

 fessors in the University, in the following branches of instruction, 

 namely: Political Economy, Social Science, Agriculture, Agricultural 

 Chemistry, Horticulture, Botany, Physics, Mechanics, Geology, Natu- 

 ral History, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Surveying, Astronomy, 

 Mathematics, Drawing, and Modern Languages. 



The organic law creating the University, Sections 4 and 5, makes it 

 the duty of the Regents to established the College of Agriculture first, 

 and next the College of Mechanics. This duty the Regents have 

 faithfully discharged. Those two colleges were the first organized. 

 They were the first equipped with the necessary material and appara- 

 tus. The College of Civil Engineering was not completely organized 

 until two years afterwards. The College of Mines has not received its 

 complete organization until within the last three months. The College 

 of Letters stands precisely as the legislature bequeathed it to the Uni- 

 versity . 



In reply to the assertion that the College of Agriculture has been 

 neglected, the Regents call attention to the following facts, premising 

 that not a year has yet passed since the completion of the building and 

 the beginning of instructions at Berkeley. They also remark that 

 Dr. Carr under oath last winter before the legislative committee testified 

 that the Regents had done as well as they could in the time and with 

 the money at their disposal. He also testified that the course of instruc- 

 tion compared favorably with that of Agricultural Colleges elsewhere. 

 That course of instruction has not since been modified. In the opinion 

 of the Regents it only needs a competent Agricultural Professor to be 

 worthy of the State and the University, and to satisfy all requirements 

 of the Agricultural community. 



Within the past year, the following among other things have been 

 accomplished : 



The Berkeley property has been surveyed by a competent engineer, 

 the right places marked out for Agriculture, Horticulture, Botanical 

 Garden and Forestry, and also for roads, paths, buildings and bridges. 

 This has also4>een mapped.
