Art Association entered upon the occupancy and use of the property for the purposes named. In 1906 the memorial buildings of the Mark Hopkins Institute were destroyed in the general fire of that year, and the land reverted to Mr. Searles who, in January, 1907, re-deeded it to the Board of Regents for the purpose of an institute of art under the management of the San Francisco Art Association and with the title of the San Francisco Institute of Art. A building of a temporary nature, but well adapted to its uses, was erected upon the lot and in this the paintings and other works of art belonging to the Art Association are exhibited and instruction in the fine arts is conducted. In addition to the permanent collection of paintings and sculpture contained in the Institute special exhibitions are held at intervals during the year. Visitors are admitted without payment on Tuesday and Saturday; on other days a fee of twenty-five cents is charged all except members of the Association and students of the colleges at Berkeley, the latter being allowed the privileges of the galleries on presentation of an admission card issued by the Recorder of the Faculties.

The California School of Design, founded in 1874 by the Art Association and conducted as a part of the Mark Hopkins Institute is being maintained and extended in connection with the San Francisco Institute of Art. Its course embraces tuition in drawing, painting, modeling, and decorative design in all their branches. It holds an exhibition of the work of the pupils at the end of the school year.

A normal course is provided for those students who wish to become teachers of art. It includes the regular course together with certain special studies elsewhere enumerated.

CERTIFICATES

The University Certificate of Proficiency is given to students who pass the required examinations in painting, drawing, modeling, composition, perspective and anatomy.

The Normal Certificate is granted to students who successfully pursue the prescribed studies and pass the final examinations. The course embraces painting, drawing, modeling, composition, perspective, anatomy, decorative art, applied design, history of art, and instruction in teaching.

Examinations are held at the end of the school year and only regular students who have attended the school at least one year are eligible.

PRIVILEGES

The Art Gallery of the Institute is open to the pupils of the school during the term.

The Library and Reading Room containing the current magazines and art periodicals are also at the service of the pupils.

PRIZES AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Prize competitions are held from time to time during the year.

The Art Association awards six annual scholarships to the most deserving pupils of the school.

Arrangements have been made whereby a collection of the best drawings and paintings done in the school are selected by the faculty once a year and forwarded to Paris for consideration by a jury of the Julien Academy. The author of the work adjudged best receives a silver medal, known as the Julien Academy Medal, and a year's free tuition in certain of the ateliers of the Academy.

The Art Association awards three annual scholarships to California high school students for best work submitted in annual competition.
