...entire tract embraces about 7000 acres in the San Jose valley, about thirty miles from San Francisco, overlooking the head of the bay and not far from Menlo Park, the country home of several prominent Californians. It occupies the rolling slopes of the low hills of one of the interior coast ranges. In addition to the immediate surroundings of the university, the plan embraces an arboretum in which it is proposed to gather the arboreal vegetation of California and of other regions of the world with similar climates, and an artificially planned forest of several acres which will serve...

The capacity of the entire library will be about 750,000 volumes. The interior of the building is so subdivided that there will be a special room for three classes of readers-first a "conversation room," in which the noisier work of dealing out books can go on; second, a series of alcoves intended to hold the working library to which a professor can direct...
