MARK HOPKINS INSTITUTE OF ART.

The property known as the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, situated at the corner of California and Mason Streets, San Francisco, was in February, 1893, given by Mr. EDWARD F. SEARLES to the Regents of the University of California, "for the exclusive uses and purposes of instruction and illustration of the Fine Arts, Music, and Literature, or any of them, including the maintenance of galleries, reading-rooms, and other suitable means of such instruction and illustration." At the same time the San Francisco Art Association 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 use of the property for the purposes named. In addition to the permanent collection of paintings and other works of art contained in the Institute, special exhibitions are held at intervals during the year.. Visitors are admitted free of charge on the first Friday of each month; on other days a fee of twenty-five cents is charged all except members of the Association. Students of the Colleges at Berkeley are admitted free every Saturday on presentation of an admission card issued by the Recorder of the Faculties.

The California School of Design, at the corner of Pine and Mason Streets, founded in 1874 by the Art Association, has been maintained and extended as a part of the Mark Hopkins Institute. Its course embraces tuition in drawing, painting, and modeling in all their branches. It holds an exhibition of the work of the pupils at the end of the school year.
