Clearings are to be made as, from time to time, space is wanted for buildings, and it is intended to enclose building sites not expected soon to be occupied, with hedges. These two simple expedients will prevent the immediate surroundings of the university from taking on at any point the usual aspect of "vacant lots" in the outskirts of towns and villages, features which, in California, on account of the dry summer climate, are apt to be more forlorn even than in the east...

The pity is that such chances are so rare. The size and unwieldiness of this institution of learning is such as to prevent any but the slightest acquaintance from existing between student and instructor. The converse is the exception, not the rule. Therefore no persuasion of ours is necessary to prevail upon any one to seize this opportunity of coming in personal contact with one whom we so admire and esteem...
