The property known as the California School of Fine Arts is situated at the corner of California and Mason streets, San Francisco. Originally certain buildings occupied this half block which extends from California street to Pine street, the whole having been given by Mr. Edward F. Searles to the Regents of the University of California in February, 1893, for the purposes of instruction in and illustration of the fine arts, under the memorial title of the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. At the same time the Art Institute became affiliated with the University of California pursuant to sections 1391 and 1396 of the Political Code of California, and under the terms of a trust agreement between Mr. Searles, the Regents of the University, and the Art Association, the Art Association entered upon the occupancy and uses 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, redeeded 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 here the California School of Fine Arts is now conducted. 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.

In all the classes, whether in drawing and painting, design or sculpture, the instructors emphasize those essentials of imagination, line, proportion, construction, and color that must contribute equally to the making of pictures and mural paintings, to design, and to the many practical applications of art in the everyday world, usually called "Commercial Art."
