GUEST SPEAKERS University students were honored to hear JULIUS A. KRUG, secretary of the interior, who spoke on the progress of the Central Valley project. He explained that the purposes of the project, which includes Shasta Dam, are to maximize the use of water for agricultural purposes and to control floods. Governor EARL WARREN journeyed to Berkeley from the fair city of Sacramento to tell us how California Looks Ahead. A Cal alumnus himself, he described recent improvements in state government and his hopes for future betterment. Students gave their governor a warm reception. CLAUDE B. HUTCHISON, recently returned from an agricul- tural mission in China, shared the spotlight with Governor War- ren. Dean Hutchison, a vice-president of the University, de- scribed the progress of Chinese farmers in the postwar world. Amid the pomp of Charter Day exercises, DOUGLAS SOUTH- ALL FREEMAN spoke of the relationship of science to art. Knowledge in its largest, richest sense is not confined to science, he said. Where science explores, art interprets. JOHN D. HICKS, member of the University ' s academic team interpreted Thomas Jefferson ' s ideas on education as they would apply today. He felt Jefferson would undoubtedly wel- come the large number of students, would warn them not to scatter their interests too widely, and encourage them in re- search work. LYNN W. PAPPY WALDORF heard there were no cold and timid souls at the University of California. This genial foot- ball coach said that his players should love the game and, five years after graduation, should be living wholesome lives. I am proud to be associated with such an institution, he said. 28
