BERKELEY. Nov. 20.?Jn tho pres-ence of thousands from all sections ofthe state agriculture hall, the newadministration building of the collegeof agriculture at the University of
rnia, was dedicated this morning.and Dr. Thomas Forsyth Hunt, one ofthe leading agricultural scientists of*the nation, was inducted into office asdean of the college and director of theUnited States experimental station.
These ceremonies took place in Har-mon gymnasium and on the sward infront of the new hall. Doctor Huntdelivered his inaugural address thisevening, outlining the policy to bepursued to make California the fore-most state in the union in agricul-tural education and in practical hus-bandry.
Doctor Hunt is expected to be theleader in an epochal movement in thisstate.
That one of the new dean's quali-ties Is that of vision was emphasizedby Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, presidentof the university, in his speech con-ferring upon Doctor Hunt the robe ofoffice.EFFICIENCY AND INCOMES
"Prosperity on the farm depends,"Doctor Hunt said in bis Inaugural ad-dress, "largely on moral and ethicalideals. In our new conception of asuccessful life, we do not have pros-perity without morality, but we dohave prosperity because of morality.Efficiency and morality may not besynonymous, but they are mighty goodchums."
The new policy of the college wasdefinitely explained by Hunt. He saidhe intended to establish a departmentof new agricultural industries, whilethe work of the college in all brancheswould be continued and extended.
"The college of agriculture," he said,
' "has three phases?research, educationand public .service. The splendid insti-tution of research for the training ofgraduate students will be promoted(Riverside), with Dr. H. J. Webber ofCornell, one of the best known teachersof postgraduate students in the coun-try, at its head. Here will be a greatgraduate school of tropical agriculture.
"Secondly, as to education, studentsL; n the college of agriculture at Berke-ley will, in their first two years, bethoroughly grounded in English, math-ematics, language, history and science,and with reference to their own specialwork will be trained in the followingfour agricultural subjects: Agriculturalchemistry, soils, plant propagation, theprinciples of breeding plants and ani-mals.SPECIALTIES SECOND YEAR
"After the sophomore year theperiod of specialization comes. Thena student will have to elect either tospecialize in dairying or animal hus-bandry at Davis, or in agronomy atDavis or Fresno, or In horticulturalpursuits or landscape gardening atFresno or Riverside, and eventually,when a department of forestry Is es-tablished, perhaps in forestry at Chicoor Santa Monica. This does not meanthat they will leave Berkeley for allof the last two years. The programwas universally accepted for forestryschools, and will be followed. Stu-dents will as>end eight weeks on thefarm immediately after the sophomoreyear. The whole of the junior and firsthalf of the senior year will be spent atBerkeley and the last half of the senior

WALTER ANTHONYIn his search for variety, Fred But-
ler at the Alcazar, turns up many kindsof drama. "A Colonial Girl," is onekind. It is melodrama, as you will seefor yourself from this speech culledfrom the glowing rhetoric of the thrill-ing third act.
The hero, plucking from the pocketnext his heart a scented bag, throws itpassionately at the heroine's feet andcries:
"My life lies ruined at your feet; butremember, you bear my name, and ifyou betray it I shall come back forrevenge, even from the grave!"
And the poor girl is innocent of anywrong doing at ail, a3 subsequently isdisclosed in the last act.PLAY FILL OF THRILLS
"A Colonial Girl" is almost as full ofthrills as fine speeches. Like a BerthaM. Clay or a Laura Jean Lihbey story,"it teems with excitement." A grimlydetermined but beauteous adventuresssows trouble In the very first scene; theliberty boys and the hateful redcoatsare at each other's throats during theentire action; a gallant Yankee spythrice eludes his pursuers by the oiledagency of a pivoted Secret door andonce by leaping head first fiom theupper window of the old mill Into theicy waters of the sullen beneath.
Such diligence and industry in escap-ing from King George's villainous sol-diers has Its reward in the final act. Thehero, fighting for his lady's/ honoragainst fearful odds, is rescued just inthe nick of time by the liberty lads,who capture the mansion on the Hudsonwherein the sanguinary struggle is be-ing waged.
PIECE GOES WITH SPEEDThe time Is during the revolutionary
war, I need not tell you; the hero Is, it.is also needless to relate, the brave,manly Yankee spy; the heroine is adauntless and much harassed littlerebel; the villain is a redcoat and theadventuress is a very dlshonoiable tory.All the bad folks are British and all thegood are not. I half suspect that theorigin of George M. Cohan is exhibitedin this patriotic play. I think he mustbe a descendant of the hero and theheroine.
The play Tuesday night at the Alcazarwent with the speed of Paul Reveresride. Everybody was up in the.lines,except for a stumble or two; the play-ers reveled in the high heroics, andgave them with the exaggerated man-ner appropriate to the occasion. CharlesRuggles* literally swam in a sea oflaughter. He showed the excellenttaste of liking his.jvork and playedthe role of the ardent lover and clan-destinely married husband of the in-genue with mock seriousness and realhumor.MISS FEALY IS CLEVER
James Durkin was the hero whomarried his wife on a wager and wonher affection afterward at the perpetualrisk of making her a widow. MissFealy was the pretty little colonialgirl whose archaic graces of long agowere fresh and sweet in her delicate
?keeping. A quibbler might have wishedthat the elements of probability hadbeen better cared for by the authors,but Miss Fealy played her role withthe charming gravity of a grownuptelling fairy stories to children, and sowe all believed In her.
The Alcazar manner of setting anddressing its. 1 plays is referred to manyof our visiting friends whose ward-robes and whose scenic properties rare-ly match the propriety of the achieve-ments of the producing department ofthe Alcazar.
"A. Colonial Girl," in short, Is dra-matic entertainment for those who likemelodrama well played and enjoy thepleasures of released imagination. Itspatriotism is as clear as Its morals.The villain is a redcoat and dies likea dog in the last act.
