News from a Former Student, A letter just received from Clare H. Bell who is now at er ey, Cali ornia, g ives an interesting 11ccount of his expe riences at San Francisco, imme diately following the earthquake. The cadets at the University of California, where Mr. Bell has been attending, volunteered to do military duty for the state and were detailed to assist in preventing looting and disorder which was so prevalent just after the disaster. He writes that te,1: porary structures are springing up like mushroom and that the work of
rebuilding is well under way. The U ni versity at Berkley has closed on account of the 'quake and wil 11ot p n d ai until the <egular time next fall. Ourinf! this lon-g vacation Mr. Bell will be co nne<>ted with the Pacific Steel & H ardware Co. one of th e larges concerns at 'Frisco and one of the few which escaped injury.
