Acquisition Information The William Carey Jones papers, C-B 536, were acquired by the Bancroft Library beginning with a donation from William Carey Jones of five letters regarding the Kaweah Colony. Additions of two boxes were donated by Frank Melvin Bumstead in August 1935. Additions of three boxes, as well as a portfolio containing materials on California land cases, were purchased from Mrs. Francis Freyers by the Bancroft Library in July 1954. Additions of two boxes and one carton, previously identified under the call number BANC MSS 67/177 c, were transferred from the Law Library in 1976. Accruals No additions are expected. System of Arrangement Arranged to the folder level. Processing Information Processed by Josh Schneider in 2006. Background and Early Education William Carey Jones, former professor of law at the University of California, was born on October 15, 1854 in Washington DC, to a well-respected family with strong political and military ties. His father, also named William Carey Jones, was a Land Commissioner, who in 1849 headed the government's investigation into land titles in California. His mother, Eliza Benton Jones, was the sister of General John Charles Frémont and the daughter of Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. Proceeding further back on his father's side, Jones was the great grandnephew of General Joseph Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill, and of Benjamin Thompson, later Count Rumford, a Loyalist and scientist whose inventions included central heating, the closed oven, thermal underwear, and the pressure cooker. The younger William Carey Jones was educated at public and private schools until the age of 17, when he enrolled at the University of California, founded only three years prior to his arrival. Throughout his time as a student at the University of California, Jones avidly pursued his interest in the law. He compensated for the lack of a formal program of legal education on the Berkeley campus by supplementing his coursework in political theory and history with independent readings into the theory and practice of law in California. He received his A.B. from the University of California in 1875, after submitting as his bachelor's thesis an essay entitled, Alfred the Great and George Washington. Teacher and Administrator Jones had intended upon graduating to immediately enter into practice. However, members of the University of California faculty and administration had recognized his talent in legal matters, and had begun requesting for his services. In 1876,

Finding Aid to the William Carey BANC MSS C-B 536 4 Jones Papers, 1834-1923, bulk 1884-1923 University of California President John Le Conte offered Jones an administrative role as Recorder of the Faculties. In 1877, Jones was appointed instructor in Latin at the insistence of Professor (and future university president) . In 1879, after passing the bar exam and receiving his M.A., he attempted to resign his position at the University of California, in order to once again pursue practice of law in San Francisco. His attempt at resignation met with swift opposition from the Board of Regents. They referred the matter to a special committee, chaired by Dr. Horatio Stebbins, who personally convinced Jones to stay on at the university. From 1882-1894, Jones taught courses in Roman law, constitutional law, international law, and jurisprudence, as an Instructor in United States History and Constitutional Law in the History Department. In 1894, the President and Board of Regents created a new Department of Jurisprudence. Jones was selected to chair the new department, whose creation signaled the beginning of a formal program of legal education on the campus. The 1868 Organic Act, which created and organized the University of California, included provision for the establishment of a law college. The Hastings College of Law, founded in San Francisco in 1878 through the generous funding of the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California, Serranus Clinton Hastings, began offering courses in conjunction with the University of California Department of Jurisprudence in 1898. Following extended discussions among William Carey Jones, President , and other longtime supporters of the University of California, the decision was reached to establish a more robust program of legal education at the university, which would focus on abstract concepts as well as more practical applications, and which would benefit from being in close proximity to the other academic departments and resources of the Berkeley campus. On November 12, 1912, following fourteen more years of development and planning, the Department of Jurisprudence was transformed into the School of Jurisprudence, with a new home at Boalt Hall, named for Elizabeth Boalt, who contributed $100,000 towards the construction of the law school building. Jones was appointed its first director, a position he held until his death in 1923. Besides serving as a de facto legal advisor to the University throughout his career, Jones served as a strong advocate of the University. He helped attract many talented faculty, and was also a successful fundraiser, who played a major role in strengthening Phoebe Hearst's relationship with the University. Although the Regents selected Benjamin Ide Wheeler to succeed Martin Kellogg as President in 1899, Jones was under heavy consideration for that position, and there is some evidence that his candidacy remained under consideration throughout his academic career. Jones served as dean of the Graduate Division from 1918 to 1920, and in 1919 also served as chairman of the administrative board that presided over the University in the nine-month interim between President Benjamin Ide Wheeler's resignation and the inauguration of David S. Barrows. Among his many contributions to the University of California, Jones wrote the University's first comprehensive history, The Illustrated History of the University of California, first published in 1895. A revised edition of that volume, covering the university's history to the turn of the 20th century, was published in 1901. Public Servant and Legal Scholar Apart from his close relationship with the University, Jones was very active in the affairs of the City of Berkeley. He served for six years as President of the Berkeley Board of Education (1884-1890), and also held a seat for two years on the Berkeley City Council (1894-1896). Jones served as President of the Berkeley Unitarian Club (1908), and also served as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the First Unitarian Church of Berkeley (1911). Jones was a member of the American, California, and Alameda County Bar Associations, the scholarship society, and the Commonwealth Club of California, as well as the Golden Bear and Winged Helmet Clubs of the University of California. Following many years of local affiliation, Jones also served as President of the National Committee of the Foundation (1921). Jones helped write or amend the charters of many California cities, including Berkeley, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Vallejo, and was often contacted by municipal governments throughout the United States for his legal expertise. He also authored numerous scholarly publications and articles, including treatises on torts in Modern American Law, papers on constitutional law in the California Law Review, and a number of legal textbooks, including the Elements of Civil Government (1891). Personal and Family Life Jones married twice; his first marriage, to Alice Harriet Whitcomb, of Berkeley, took place on October 17, 1880. They had one daughter, Alice Benton. Jones' second marriage, to Ada M. Butterfield, of San Francisco, took place on November 18, 1893. Together they had two daughters, Frances Carey, and Elsie. Jones maintained close ties with his children, and in the final year of his life, he visited his daughter Alice and her husband, Willys Ruggles Peck, at their home in Peking, China. William Carey Jones died in Peking on October 2, 1923. 1854 William Carey Jones is born on October 15, in Washington, D. C. 1875 Receives A.B. from the University of California

Jones' extensive correspondence with faculty and administrators of the University of California, including seven presidents of the university, represents one of the collection's major strengths. Correspondents from the University of California include presidents , William Thomas Reid, Edward Singleton Holden, , Martin Kellogg, and Benjamin Ide Wheeler; professors Josiah Royce, Bernard Moses, and Horatio Stebbins; university librarian and archivist Joseph Cummings Rowell; and philanthropist Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Much of the University of California correspondence relates to the creation of the Department of Jurisprudence, as well as the founding of the School of Jurisprudence under Jones' direction. Notable correspondents outside of the University of California include writers Jack London, George Washington Cable, and Charles Warren Stoddard; historians Albert Bushnell Hart, , and Theodore Henry Hittell; economists Adolph Caspar Miller, , Charles Franklin Dunbar, and Frank William Taussig; State Supreme Court Justices Serranus Clinton Hastings, Elisha William McKinstry, and Hezekiah Lord Hosmer; Mayor Louis Bartlett of Berkeley, and Mayor Edward Hull Crump, of Memphis, Tennessee; physician and philanthropist Levi Cooper Lane; anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing; abolitionist and social activist Julia Ward Howe; and Swedenborgian minister Joseph Worcester. Another of the collection's strengths includes an extensive file on city charters, including correspondence, notes, essays, and annotated charter drafts. The charter materials relate primarily to California cities; correspondence and notes on the creation and amendment of the charters of Berkeley, Fresno, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vallejo are particularly extensive. The file culminates in the inclusion of a hand-bound volume of writings and articles collectively titled Full Text of Model City Charter Drafted by William Carey Jones. Although the collection includes a small number of unpublished essays, the draft materials and related correspondence for Jones' published works are not very well represented. A notable and fortunate exception to the scarce documentation of Jones' writings can be found in the inclusion of a comprehensive set of background materials for Jones' The Illustrated History of the University of California, the first comprehensive history of the university. These materials, which include biographical notes, annotations, and drafts, often demonstrate the same methodical reasoning, penchant for detail, and strict adherence to presenting factual evidence unimpeded by emotion or bravado that typify Jones' legal opinions. However, the drafts also reveal Jones' talent for infusing these characters from the early life of the university with a relevance, substance, and vitality that is undeniably facilitated by Jones' intimate familiarity with the contributions of his subjects on a personal as well as a professional level. The Illustrated History background materials, replete with illustrations and anecdotal recollections, enable a researcher to see the author's unmistakable dedication to ensuring that the rich history of the young university and its founders would be transmitted with the same candor and steady purpose that is revealed in those who contributed, through their accomplishments and sacrifices, to the university's creation and early

Finding Aid to the William Carey BANC MSS C-B 536 6 Jones Papers, 1834-1923, bulk 1884-1923 successes. The collection also includes limited materials relating to investigations into California land claim cases conducted by Jones' father at the behest of the Commissioner of the United States General Land Office following the Mexican Cession. The land case materials, which relate primarily to Rancho Santa Ana y Quien Sabe, and the San Francisco Pueblo Lands, represent a particularly valuable addition to the collection on their own merits. In this context, they also provide a researcher with further perspective into Jones' life and early influences.
