Leland's MSS. were deposited by William See also:Burton, the historian of inner quadrangle, about a See also:court which is 586 by 246 ft. arid is faced by a continuous open See also:arcade and adorned with large circular beds of tropical See also:plants and See also:flowers, consists of twelve one-See also:storey buildings and a beautiful memorial church
.
Of the fourteen buildings of the See also:outer quadrangle some are two storeys high
.
A magnificent memorial See also:arch (too ft. high), adorned with a See also:frieze designed by John See also:Evans, representing the " Progress of See also:Civilization in See also:America," and forming the See also:main gateway, was destroyed by the See also:earthquake of 1906
.

The students in 1907–1908 numbered 1738, of whom 126 were graduates, 99 special students, and 500 See also:women.' The university library (with the library of the See also:law See also:department) contained in 19o8 about 107,000 volumes
.
A marine biological laboratory, founded by See also:Timothy See also:Hopkins, is maintained at Pacific See also:Grove on the See also:Bay of See also:Monterey
.
The university has an endowment from its founders estimated at $30,000,000, including three great estates with 85,000 acres of See also:farm and vineyard lands, and several smaller tracts; but the endowment was very largely in See also:interest-bearing securities, income from which was temporarily cut off in the See also:early years of the university's See also:life by litigation
.
The founders wished the university " to qualify students for See also:personal success and See also:direct usefulness in life; to promote the public welfare by exercising an See also:influence in behalf of humanity and civilization, teaching the blessings of See also:liberty regulated by law, and inculcating love and reverence for the great principles of See also:government as derived from the inalienable rights of See also:man to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." There are no inflexible entrance requirements as to particular studies except English See also:composition to ensure a degree of See also:mental maturity, the minimum amount of preparation is fixed as that which should be given by four years in a secondary school, leaving to the applicants a wide choice of subjects (35 in 1906) ranging from See also:ancient history to woodworking and See also:machine See also:shop
.
In the curriculum, liberty perhaps even greater than at Harvard is allowed as to " electives." Work on some one See also:major subject occupies about one-third of the undergraduate course; the remaining two-thirds (or more) is purely elective
.
The influence of sectarianism and politics is barred from the university by its See also:charter, and by its private origin and private support
.
At the same time in its policy it is practically a See also:state university of the most liberal type
.
Instruction is entirely See also:free
.
The See also:president of the university has the initiative in all appointments and in all matters of See also:general policy
.
Within the university See also:faculty power lies in an See also:academic See also:council, and, more particularly, in an advisory See also:board of nine professors, elected by the academic council, to which all propositions of the president are submitted
