"The Lick, Wilmerding, and Lux Schools were privately endowed, industrially-oriented high schools and junior colleges, designed, according to their first director, George Merrill, for the "training of the mind and hand in unison." Each of the donors, Miranda Lux, James Lick, and Jillis Wilmerding, had similar ideas about the necessity of integrating the book knowledge of the public school system with what Lick called the "practical arts of life." These ideas manifested themselves in generous endowments which were used to found and sustain, with no tuition, three schools: the California School of Mechanical Arts (1894) , the Wilmerding School (1900) , and the Lux School (1913) " (from Archivegrid).
