Julia Morgan (architect) was at the Ecole in the time period that Jew Shee was in Paris to see, no doubt, the Bibliotheque and the Ecole, both had studied under Bernard Maybeck in the Engineering Department at UC Berkeley.

The Ecole de Beaux Arts means "School of Fine Arts" in French. It is located on the Left Bank across the Seine River from the Louvre Museum. The "Ecole" is what Jew Shee traveled to Paris to see.

And so was Jew Yao, youngest brother who remained in China; Jew Yao's son Ah Fook and grandson Ah Moe also have the same features. But Jew Joe and his older brother Jew Nui were built a little more stocky.

The College of Mining was the center of action for much of the country. America was speeding into the Industrial Revolution and, as Jack London wrote in the Examiner, "The language of life today is the language of cogs and wheels and pistons, of steam and electricity, of scientific research and practical application of scientific discovery." So Jue Shee did not want to leave his ideas at the Campus doorstep and run a family farm for Jue Joe. Bernard Maybeck (famed Berkeley architect) encouraged Phoebe Hearst (mother of William Randolph Hearst) to spearhead a plan for the Cal campus. And the new building that would house the current College of Mining would give students the feel of working in a mine shaft and would inspire in them new ideas. Research would be conducted in state-of-the-art labs. The building would be designed like the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Most likely, Jue Shee wanted to see that building in Paris and wanted to keep abreast of new mining technology there, before heading for Manchuria. (In America the Foreign Miners' Tax Laws, starting in 1852, posed serious obstacles for Chinese and employers who hired Chinese.) On the Jue Joe Ranch I recall seeing one textbook that was highly technical. It had equations and lines drawn like air shafts, running vertical or slanted, etc. He'd dated the book, "1898" or "1899."
