The opinion

McCOMB, J., Concurring.

I concur in the order denying the application for an alternative writ of prohibition. I can see no reason for filing a written opinion, which is contrary to the usual practice in such matters. The question of Dr. Bussell’s qualifications to act as an instructor at the University of California is one lying solely within the discretion of the board of regents, and their determination of his qualifications is final.

Experience has demonstrated that the people of the state have wisely vested this discretion in the board of regents, as it is a matter of international knowledge that the University of California has under the guidance of the board of regents become one of the great universities of the world and that the university possesses a faculty composed of educators of the highest standing.
