interest of the State, and to open wider fields of learn- 

 ing for the sons and daughters of the country. Their 

 best thoughts are given to the Institution. 



Location. 

 Santa Barbara, the seat of the college, lies on the 

 coast, two hundred and ninety miles south of San 

 Francisco. Situated to the south of the Santa Inez 

 mountains, it is sheltered from the coast winds. The 

 cool and invigorating sea-breeze renders the climate 

 mild and even. All fruits common to temperate and 

 semi-tropical climates grow luxuriantly in its vicinity. 

 Frosts seldom come, and Winter is a word scarcely 

 found in the language of its people. From January 

 to January the trees are covered with leaves and the 

 fields are green with the revolution of crops. The 

 fevers often found in other localities of the same lati- 

 tude are never experienced. The climate is very 

 beneficial in cases of consumption and all pulmorlary 

 diseases. The advantages of its climate are so wide- 

 ly admitted that people from all parts of the country are 

 coming to make it their home. To no other locality 

 can the parent send his child and be so assured that 

 in every respect the climate is any nearer perfection. 



Chabacteb of the Institution. 

 Directors and Faculty of Instruction pledge them- 

 selves to do all iti<their power to naake the Santa Bar- 

 bara College absolutely, not relatively, a good institu- 

 tion ; to requite the trust which the people place in 

 them with the best possible instruction ; and to cul- 

 tivate among all their pupils true manliness and true 

 womanliness.
