Excerpt from A Plea for the Collection Preservation and Diffusion of Information Relating to the History of California: Address Delivered on Admission Day, at Colton Hall, Monterey, September 9, 1908
I care not what form the effort may take, whether through the en dowment of private organization or of a public institution, or a com bination of both. The point I desire to emphasize is that we should take, as an organization, a deep practical interest in this great work, whether in the form of the collection of material. Or in the form of its publication, or in promoting public sentiment to sustain adequate public expenditures in that behalf, or in promoting such public senti ment as will compel the organization of city and town historical so cieties in the various communities throughout the State.
