Directories Of San Francisco: Despite its popularity, the daguerreotype was doomed. It did not lend itself to ready duplication. It was fragile and had to be kept under glass in a bulky case, or framed. And it was expensive. At the 1856 annual exhibition of the Photographic Society of London, 606 images were on display. Of these only three were daguerreotypes.20 In America the process survived longer, but by 1864 the profession "daguerreotypist" no longer appeared in the business directories of San Francisco.SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE,a state coeducational institution, located on a 94-acre campus near Lake Merced in southwestern San Francisco, Calif. Established in 1899 as San Francisco State Normal School, it became the San Francisco State Teachers College in 1921, and a state college under its present name in 1935, offering courses in liberal arts and sciences to supplement the professional work in education. In 1945 the college was authorized a five-year program for providing general secondary school credentials.
