The  opening  address  was  delivered  by  Prof.  P.  C.  Gilman,  President  of  the 
University  of  California.  Addresses  were  also  delivered  by  Wm,  T.  Wenzell, 
President  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy;  Dr.  K.  Beverly  Cole,  J.  G.  Steele  and 
Prof.  Searby.  The  educational  work  of  the  College  actually  commenced  upon 
Friday  evening,  July  11th,  with  a  class  of  twenty-seven  students.  So  large  an 
attendance  shows  conclusively  that  the  young  pharmacists  of  California  are 
fully  alive  to  the  importance  of  special  and  thorough  education  in  their  profes- 
sion. 
This  College  has  affiliated  with  the  University  of  California  in  conformity 
with  the  following  sections  of  the  "  Organic  Act"  of  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia : 
"  Section  8.  The  Board  of  Regents  may  affiliate  with  the  University,  and 
make  an  integral  part  of  the  same,  and  incorporate  therewith  any  incor- 
porated college  of  medicine  or  of  law,  or  other  special  course  of  instruction 
now  existing  or  which  may  hereafter  be  created,  upon  such  terms  as  to  the  re- 
spective corporations  may  be  deemed  expedient  ;  and  such  college  or  colleges 
thus  affiliated  shall  retain  the  control  of  their  own  property,  with  their  own 
Board  of  Trustees,  and  their  own  Faculties  and  Presidents  of  the  same,  respec- 
tively, and  the  students  of  those  colleges,  recommended  by  the  respecthe- 
Faculties  thereof,  shall  receive  from  the  University  the  degrees  of  those  Col- 
leges, provided,  however,  that  the  President  of  the  University  shall  be,  ex 
officio,  a  member  of  the  Faculty  of  each  and  every  college  of  the  University, 
and  President  of  such  Faculty." 
."  Sec  18.  The  immediate  government  and  discipline  of  the  several  colleges 
shall  be  entrusted  to  their  separate  Faculties  and  the  resident  professors  of  the 
same,  each  of  which  shall  have  its  own  organization,  regulate  the  affairs  of  its 
own  college,  etc  ,  etc.  **♦**'**# 
The  agreement  which  has  been  entered  into  is  as  follows  : 
"  In  accordance  with  the  Organic  Act  of  the  University  of  California,  the 
California  College  of  Pharmacy  is  hereby  affiliated  with  the  University,  upon, 
the  following-  basis  . 
"The  College  will  maintain  its  own  Board  of  Trustees,  and  will  continue  to 
hold  its  own  property  as  if  this  affiliation  hud  not  been  agreed  upon. 
"The  College  will  also  appoint  its  own  professors  and  establish  its  own, 
course  of  instruction,  subject  to  the  general  approbation  of  the  Regents  of  the 
University. 
"  The  University  will  confer  the  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  upon  can- 
didates recommended  by  the  Board  of  Examiners  of  the  College,  and  approved 
by  a  committee  to  be  designated  by  the  Regents. 
"  This  agreement  may  be  cancelled  by  mutual  consent,  at  any  time,  or  by  the 
withdrawal  of  either  party  tj  it,  after  twelve  months'  notice  to  the  other 
party." 
The  terms  of  affiliation,  it  appears  from  the  above,  are  very  liberal,  and  must 
be  advantageous  to  the  department  of  pharmacy,  being  thus  placed  under  the- 
patronage  of  the  State,  and  retaining,  at  the  same  time,  all  the  essential  char- 
acteristics of  the  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  of  the  older  States,  and  particularly 
the  most  important  of  all,  namely,  the  management  of  its  affairs  by  professional 
pharmacists. 
The  four  chairs  in  the  College  are  filled  as  follows  :  Willard  B.  Rising,  Chem- 
istry;  J.  Winchell  Forbes,  Pharmacy  ;  Wm.  M.  Searby,  Materia  Medica,  and 
Herm.  M.  Behr,  M.D.,  Botany. 
The  two-class  system  has  been  planned  for  three  chairs  somewhat  similar  t&
