lue and (Reid President Wheeler ' s Message UNIVERSITY represents the most permanent form of human institutions. Any appearance of rapid transmutation is likely therefore to be deceptive. Nevertheless I believe the appear- ances of growth this present year are very genuine. They stand for fundamental things. For instance ; a department of architecture has been founded, and a recognized master set at its head. This means that we are not merely to build buildings. We will make buildings teach. The Hall of Mining Engineering built this year sets the standard of what the future university visible is to be. In the Greek Theater a son has taken up the work of his mother and built a structure as unique as it is beautiful and serviceable. California Hall, begun this year, speaks for the generous sympathy of the State. Again, the establishment of the Department of Physiology is significant not alone for the coming of a distinguished scientific man to its headship, nor yet for the building of a laboratory by gift of a public-spirited citizen, but chiefly for its indication of our faith that the spirit of research is the life-breath of university teaching. After all the real character of the University will depend upon the sort of people who teach in it and the sort of people who study in it. The Faculty have gained significantly in strength. The student-body has been notably invigorated by the retirement of about two hundred and fifty students who disclosed at the December examinations a lack of appreciation of the opportunities offered here. Again, the very successful Faculty Club and the most promising San Francisco Alumni Club are both symptomatic of better things in unity of spirit and life. We are drawing together : we are all coming more and more to feel the University is really ours. 16 Creek Theater

BEN WEED ' S AMPHITHEATER The Light of Other Days A Review of Student Traditions and Customs at the University of California By STUART G. MASTERS THIS is largely the history of things that get suppressed. Many important matters get duly recorded. officers and committees, captains and their teams ; they all go down on the roll of fame as they should. But I sometimes think that the really enduring events slip from the pen of the chronicler and are lost to future generations. Traditions, for instance, rarely get into print. What our college ancestors believed, and fought and bled for are matters about which we know but little and yet would fain be taught. Heretofore the medium for trans- mitting these heroic tales has been by word of mouth, and. for aught you or I can do. there is little reason to believe that any other method will have the same meed of popularity. The Authentic narrative of a college prank is a folk-tale and must be passed along according to legendary precedent. It has fallen to the lot of the writer to present here in brief form a review of this essential undergraduate life at the University of California as it has existed and still exists. Such a narrative must call for infinite patience from the reader, for. as has just been intimated, the written story is a radical departure from the traditional method of procedure. Only the charm of the subject-matter saves the situation. Roughly speaking, there have been at Berkeley, as in every well-regulated college communitv, three ages of undergraduate development. Yet. while we arbitrarily divide the history of student spirit into these three epochs, we cannot fail to appreciate the fact that the ages telescope into each other and that even now these various phases of undergraduate life occasionally appear simultaneously. a depressing and yet. at the same time, a cheering state of things. 17 Old Class IIivs
